Is there a good pram suitable for newborn twins plus a 2-year-old? It's not easy getting all 3 out together.

Could your 2 year old use a buggy board? Or one baby in the sling and one baby plus 2 year old in double pram?

When my twins were tiny we had them in a Silvercross Wave frame with the car seats attached and 3yo went on a buggy board. At around 6m I moved them to an Out n About double.

Other option for a spell is my bugaboo donkey fitted both twins in 1 carrycot when tiny. But only for first couple of months and they were small as prem. So could have twins sharing 1 carrycot and 2 year old in the seat. Also bugaboo donkey do a sit down buggy board which I used for my 3 year old.

Do you have a pram already that could be converted? We had a 22 month old when our twins arrived. We had an uppababy vista so converted that to a double for the twins and put a buggy board with saddle on the back for the toddler. It didn't get loads of use in all honesty as he preferred to walk but at least it was an option. Was very handy with car seats. Now they're a bit bigger we've switched to an out n about side by side, and though you're not meant to do this, the older child (now gone 3) sits on the very front foot rest part when he wants a rest.

If I didn't have the vista I think I'd have considered the donkey (though I don't love how large it is and looks a bit painful/bulky to fold) or a mountain buggy duet (though i'd worry they'd outgrow it as it's narrow). I think with the doubles that are on the market currently, unfortunately you have to compromise on some aspect
