Advice on pushchairs

[Coreynkayden]

Hello im 13 weeks pregnant and cant desided to get a double pushchair or not my son is 2 3 this year but he is a right terror when walking lol iv tried rains but he doesnt like them and i dnt think he would keep still on a buggy board is he too old to be in a pushchairs when baby's here i dont fancey chasing him down the street

No experience myself, but how about wait and see if you need one? You can buy after baby is here.

Do you have a sling, because you could keep ds in pushchair and carry baby or if you have a lie flat pushchair use it for baby and son depending on behaviour/tiredness.

Also keep you eyes out on eBay/gumtree to see if a double is going cheep in your area and then you have that option too

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

I only have one but I have a 3 year old who is a nightmare to walk with so know where you're coming from! Do you do a lot of walking? Are you in a town or village or...? If you do a lot of long walks I'd definitely go for a double. DD (just turned 3) can walk quite a way with a lot of faffing but we use the pushchair if we take the dog for a walk or go to the shops. I will really miss using the pushchair for shopping!

Don't know if that has helped at all lol but I'm sure someone wiser than me will be along shortly!

Yes i do alot off walking as my house is 20min away from any shops and i walk to my boys schools too he loves to walk but its just wen hes tired he expects me to carry him lol and when i say no all hell breaks loose lmaoo xx

I agree that you don't need to decide until nearer the time, because your DS might be a bit more reliable as a walker by then. Or might be readier for a buggy board by then

We got a Phil and Teds pushchair and it's really good. You can take off the underneath attachment when you don't need it. It was really useful for nursery runs as my 3 year old wouldn't walk that far.
