How can I carry my toddler now I'm pregnant?

My daughter is 2 but she is the size of a small beetle and often needs to be carried. I used to use a hippychick hip seat but now I'm a bit ROUND with pregnancy I'm a bit confused about the best way to carry her, especially as my back is getting dodgier. Any suggestions?

TC will search later for you - am sure there are a few brands that do a toddler seat that attaches to a pram/three wheeler. That is what I have - it is based on weight so dd1 has ages until she will hit the weight limit... not sure about lottie but she looks like a dot to me. The good thing is the pram is suitable from birth - lay down seat etc.

TC here are some sites - they are aussie ones but perhaps they can ship or you can find an equivalent over there..

this one looks brilliant here takes up to 20kg each seat!!(sit and stand one)

x-trail jogger ( sort of what I have)

last on the page does a toddler seat - good brand

toddler seat one here too

hope these give you some ideas - perhaps you can investigate the brands or with the exchange rate see if they will ship to you - bought stuff from this store - very helpful.

Emmaljunga do prams with toddlerseats, if that's relevant.

Infact search archives for todler seat and you'll probably find a whole host of pushchairs with that feature...

I LOVE the e3, thanks for the link
I WANT one! fantastic
I know what you mean about the view for child 2 tho Thomcat!

TC I'm very sorry we couldn't convert you to the E3 fanclub
REally the second seat is fine, it doesn't bump along the ground! Best thing about it though is that its the same size as a single - I was really put off by the width and bulk of double 3 wheelers.
Anyway I hope you will find a solution for your needs. how long no2 will need a buggy for depends a bit on how much walking you do - i have a long walk to work/nursery hence the e3, otherwise I could have dispensed with a buggy for ds1 sometime before he was 3. And they can use a buggy board from around 2 I would think.
