DC will be just 3 when 2nd baby arrives in Feb.
We walk locally quite a lot, to nursery, shops etc.
We are debating the buggy board/double buggy as DC still uses the stroller when she's tired (after nursery/long walk) and with DC2 due in the winter I really don't want to be walking to and from shops at toddler pace. Sling is out of the question, tried it with DC1 and it totally flared up a old injury and a birth I jury.
Problems we are having are :
Buggy board - we have a Mamas and Papas Ocarro, and the board doesn't leave much leg room for walking, even with the handle extended. We are both tall, 5"10 and 6"3 and don't want to have to push the pram from the side. Also we have the newborn carrycot and don't believe DC1 will have much room to stand on the board with the carry cot in place, or will have to lean over it. Plus I don't want to buckle the frame as I've heard the boards can do.
Double buggy - DC1 is 3"4 and weighs 19kg so finding a double she fits in comfortably is proving impossible. We have tried the mountain duo which is too narrow for her shoulders, and the Jogger Mini which isn't long enough at the back so her head is above the hood. We also looked at the double Joie stroller which I'm not keen on as it doesn't have a carrycot/baby insert, and DC1 feet are nearly on the floor.
We have totally hit a dead end with it. Does anyone know of a double buggy that is suitable for a bigger toddler, or of a buggy add on like the board that would work better? Does anyone have the ocarro and board, does it work OK?
Need help before it starts a war between DP and I lol.
