I have a Phil and Teds for my 5mo dd and just 2 year old dd.

My problem is that my eldest sleeps when we go anywhere and then wont go to bed until 10pm!!

I want to sell it and get a nice pushchair for dd and a buggy board for my eldest.

Is she too young? She has only just turned 2. She is a great walker but obviously very slow!! Im also worried about the winter.

Any tips or advice?

We've also got a phil & teds for DD1 & 2 (2.6 & 5MO) so can't speak from personal experience but I do know people with just 2YOs who've had buggy boards and they have been fine on them. My DD1 can be a bit of a terror and I was just worried she'd keep running off but you'll probably find the novelty of the buggy board keeps her on there. I suppose raining does make it a bit more tricky - that's what swung me on the P&Ts but people seem to manage fine! I guess just get her a warm coat/waterproof. You'll never be out in heavy rain for prolonged periods. Good luck either way - I know it's a popular discussion on the buggy forum so maybe go and there and see what others have said

I had a double buggy for mine. DD was 15 months old when her bro was born. I absolutely hated it though so she had to grow up pretty fast and I got a buggy board. She liked it but got tired standing sometimes and wanted to sit in super new pushchair. I did feel bad that she missed out on being pushed around in a buggy as DS 1 was nearly 3.5 before he stopped using his.
It all depends on your DD. If she wants to walk or not sit in buggy anymore, then go ffor it.
My situation was more for my sanity then her benefit unfortunately.
