Toddler will be 2.3 by the time the twins are born really not sure what to do about the pushchair situation.

Can you get a double buggy and a buggy board for the toddler?
Can always use a sling for one of the babies if the toddler gets tired?

Would a tandem one work? You could have the toddler in the seat and initially have the twins one at each end of the carrycot with it being a full sized one. Then could change to twin in each seat once theyre a bit bigger and toddler on a buggy board.

Mountain buggy duet v3 is the narrowest side by side buggy if you want them to both be able to see out longer term, but the carrycots would be too small for more than one even initially so would require toddler to walk. There is a strap on the handle for a walking aged child to hold onto though.

Following...I'm due to have twins & a 17m old! I was thinking sling & double? One twin in a bassinet, toddler in a seat & other twin in a sling. Hoping the twins can share a bassinet to start with!

I've been looking at the ABC design zoom, although its expensive it does seem like what i was looking for. I can have both twins in there or one twin and toddler and other twin in a sling

My oldest was 22 months when twins arrived. The only way I have managed is by putting one baby in a sling if toddler needs to go in pushchair. He was too little to reliably stand on a buggy board. He is good at holding the handle for short walks though.

Toddler was 20 months when DTwins arrived. Have the Uppababy Vista, a Buggyboard and an Ergo carrier. One twin is only happy in the sling which kind of makes it easier. She automatically goes in there, toddler has toddler seat and twin 2 goes either in car seat or bassinet. The 2015 versions and newer do lots of combinations of toddler seat/bassinet/car seat. It's a brilliant pram although it's not light.

Congratulations OP!

I had an abc zoom, and I had the twins in car seats on this and I got a maxi buggy board for my 2 1/2 year old.

Worked really well and would recommend. I never had the carry cots and I never even used the other seats.

Better to be long and narrow I would say than go double buggy as so much harder to manoeuvre.

I moved to the double city jogger when the twins were about 15 months old.
