I am getting quite confused about what I need in my situation. Advice needed!
I have a 2.3 year old and a 3 month old. At the moment I am using a single pushchair [Mamas and Papas Luna] for toddler and a Babasling for the baby.
I don't drive and so walk mainly within the local area [about 10 - 20 mins walk each way]. I also catch buses fairly regularly and occasionally trains.
I have been managing quite well with single pushchair and sling until now... Now I am finding that the baby in sling is starting to make my back and shoulders ache. So am wondering what to do. My toddler does like to walk but it is slow going and he does get tired [hence the need to transport him in single pushchair]. So the option of being able to put him in a double buggy or on a buggy board to rest is helpful to me.
I have started looking into double buggys and had pretty much decided on a Mothercare Hoxton as it seems quite compact which will be useful for buses [as bus travel is quite stressful with large buggy]. I also live in a first floor flat and want a buggy that doesn't take up too much room, can be transported up stairs and can fit in my sedan boot. Also didn't want to spend too much on one as may only be needed for another 6 months to a year until toddler starts walking in earnest...
However I see that the Hoxton has had mixed reviews [mainly due to it's weight?] and am now undecided. Has anyone got one of these and could advise me?
My other thought was to get another sling which might be more comfortable to transport large baby/toddler in. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
My other thought was to get a buggy board. I think the Lascal Maxi fits a M & P Luna, does anyone know?
Any advice would be much appreciated!!!!
