double pram/buggy

[ilovesprouts]

my dd is due july she will have a 26m ds1 any good ideas on what she should get, just thinking but not buying yet

Think about a few things...

How much walking you do, if you need to get it in a car boot, if you need to get it on public transport, if you need to get it through your front door, how tall you (and your DP) are, if you want to go for side by side or tandem...

Hope that helps a bit...

Good luck.

The only thing I would say is that it is not too close a gap, so you might want to consider a tandem (like a Phil and Teds, although some people don't like them...) where the older one can get in and out of, rather than a side by side that they might not use for that long and might not be worth the (more comfortable but more cumbersome) bulk.

Have a look at Best Buggy. Its packed full of information, photos and reviews of double pushchairs.

I agree with all the questions above, plus does she walk off road, or mainly pavements and flat parks? And what's the budget and would they prefer new or second hand? That's probably the most crucial question!

If your grandson is in nursery or similar and she'll often just have the baby with her, then a convertible single-double like Nonnomum mentioned would probably be useful. There are quite a few on the market and the answers to the other questions will help narrow it down.

Congratulations on another grandchild!

NonnoMum the pram is for my dd1 not me [god forbid] done my bit

Hmm - not sure what you mean. But, perhaps if you were referring to your height, it can make a real difference to the pushers. i.e some taller people don't like P and t for example as they are forever bashing their shins on the back of it...

Is that what you meant..?

nonno, ilovesprouts means that the pushchair is for her daughter who is pregnant
