Getting baby to sleep in non-moving pushchair!

How do you get your baby to sleep if you're out, but not moving?! DC2 is 4 months old & is ready to have a sleep after about 1.5 hours of being awake. He naps well in his cot at home, but if we're out he'll only nap in the pushchair if it's moving. Which is a problem as my DC1 is a toddler so we're often out at toddler-groups, soft-play etc, and I can't keep his pushchair in constant motion! I've tried reclining it right back & using a snooze-shade, but he just cries. Any tips? If he doesn't nap he gets unbearably tired and grumpy!

The Robopax baby rocker is what you need:

(Please note I have no links to Robopax and wonder exactly how convenient it really is to carry with you "out to lunch". If you buy it please let me know! I would concur with the p&p about moving the pushchair for a few mins til they're asleep then leaving it!)

Ha, I love it! A treadmill for pushchairs! Think I would definitely get a few people looking at me like this Hmm if I whipped that out in my local cafe!

Will give the uneven floor trick a go!

I have found a dummy incredibly useful in this situation. Or I just put her in the sling and jiggle her to sleep.

I think we just tried to arrive with the baby asleep, so we'd walk to soft play and then leave for the next nap. Sometimes I'd be lucky and the baby would feed to sleep in which case we would stay longer.

Also rock to sleep in arms then put down?!? Easier said than done! I've done all sorts!

I just rock the pram back and forth over uneven floor for 5 min.
