To double buggy or not to double buggy.


Okay with only just over 3 months to go I really need to start thinking about this. Ihave very little experience with children, basically I learn as I go with mine! I really dont know if its worth investing in a double buggy or not, as its another big bulky buggy that I wonder if it will get much use? Noah is walking now and will be 18 months once bub is born, so how much longer will he want to go in the buggy? Should I just use a sling for baby and then when they are too heavy stick them in the buggy and get a buggy board for Noah? And realistically if I do get a double buggy do I opt for tandem (which OH prefers the idea of) or a sidebyside, which realisticaly can you even fit down shop isles?

I dont know what to do???

I didn't buy one, Amy was 2 when jack was born and i really regrett not getting one.

Didn't realise at that point that she was going to be an absolute nightmare walking but as most of them only go to the age of 3 i have missed out now.

I have just over two years between Josh and Libs. I tried a tandem but it so heavy on the front its a struggle so most of the time I stick Libby in the sling and Josh in the pushchair to go down the school.



I really want a phil and ted pushchair but they are so pricey!

sorry to say hun but you will need to get a double buggy.

its a 15min walk down to the toddler group. if Dior was to walk it would take 40mins. and she would moan for a pick up she will stand on the buggy board but soon get bored.

dont go for how light the double buggy is!! big mistake i wanted something really light so i got the lightest on the market and its horrid it bows in the middle i cant turn it with out it nearly snapping. its drags along the floor.

out of all the buggies i have looked at i think this is the best

scrol down to the bottom and have a look at the pics, its the size of a single buggy, but what i think is best is that the baby behind is high up so when they are older they aint stuck looking at the back of the other baby they still get to see every thing and the back lays flat and real snug and closed in for a newborn.
i really want one

i think this looks awfull. like a train its that long, i imagin it would be hard to get up curbs

its not as easy as it sounds with one in a carrier one in buggy.

if i carry Harley in the sling when i lean down to Dior he nearly falls out. its a nightmare.

i have told kris i need a new double and he agrees mine in pants and i am telling the truth not just me having a fetish
