Pram suggestions for some one who wants but can't afford iCandy

[chocolatestar]

I am pregnant with no 2, ds 1 is about to turn 3 so thinking about double buggies. I love the iCandy peach and pear prams but could never afford one. Any suggestions for a good but cheaper alternative?

a doddle. he will love it. esp if the baby is in the pram as he'll be able to chat to him or her.

Wouldn't work for the first 6 months though as baby will be in a pram. I suppose I am worried about getting stuck out and about with ds and not coping. How easy is a buggy board?

That would save me the hassle of selling my old pram. I have a mama and papa's pramette - an old one.

Too much choice!!

if your ds1 is going to be 3 and a bit when baby arrives i don't think you;ll need a double.

just get a sling, so if ds1 gets tired you can sling baby and pop him in the pushchair. otherwise he can walk and baby goes in pushchair

get a buggy board, a three year old will be fine on that. we got one for dd1 when she was two and a half.

VW golf so quite big. The techno looks good and second hand could be quite cheap too.

Oh you are tiny! Not sure how heavy they are, but I don;t thing they'd be reat for foding and unfolding every day.

What kind of car do you have? Does it have a big boot?

secondhand twin techno

P&t prams are cool, do you know how heavy they are?I need something I can fold up and put in my boot and I am only five ft 1.

Have just realised your DS1 will be 3. TBH I wouldn't get either with him being that age as the seats are quite small.

You'd be better off with something like a P&T or double nipper. Or a singe pram and buggy board.

What about 2nd hand ones? You could get one a lot cheaper, especially the pear as the peach has taken over from that.
