all being well I'm hoping to have another just before Edward turns 2. I'm planning on using a sling but will have a double as a back up

I had a 22mth old and a newborn and definitly needed a double buggy as done alot of walking. Also handy for when your in a hurry. I had a buggy board but found it bulky x

My daughter is 27 months and my son is 5 weeks... we have a double buggy but have only used it twice so far.
I have been using a moby wrap for Sid and single buggy for Sophie. I think it will come in handy on rainy days when we have to go out and i cant carry Sid and Sophie wont want to walk so i'm glad we got one but also glad we didn't spend a huge amount on it!

My new baby is due 3 wks after my son turns 2. His legs still get tired and falls asleep in his buggy when we are out for the day shopping etc so it wasn't even an option for us to not get one. Looked and loved the p&t originally but didnt like the idea of not seeing my baby when the toddler seat is on top and then putting the baby 'underneath'. We bought a 2nd hand Jane Powertwin that takes a baby seat too. Love it, I can have the baby seat at the back facing me, or on the front facing my son and it is lighter than some I looked at. I did think of a buggy board, but it would be a kamikaze accident waiting to happen as he can't be still for 1 min

. So, atm I have a double, a single buggy that is a travel system for when I'm not going far and my son can walk, & also a stroller for when I have baby in a sling taking son to nursery or if I am out on my own with him etc. I sound greedy, but 2 of them are 2nd hand and I need them - honest !!!

I've been totally wondering about this too..I dont know what to do, we take the pram out quite a lot and i remember trying to carry Tabs in a sling when she was born was really hard work and also she hated being so close

Eeek!!

Hey hunni, my little boy was 2 when my daughter was born. He was very good at walking by the side of the pushchair but used to get quite tired so i bought a buggy board and he loves it, pretends he is driving the pushchair lol xxx
