Buggy for 3? 3yo, 2yo & newborn...

Hoping for some help and guidance.

Short Version:-

Which Pushchair should we get to cart around our 3yo, our 2 yo and an imminent arrival?

Long Version:-

We have a poor history of buggy selection. First we got a Babyjogger Versa GT. IMO Babyjoggers are excellent but we bought one of the models that couldn't convert into a double and so off it went to cart around a new cousin.

Next we got the Babyjogger City Select, which seats 2, one in front of the other.

This was largely great, but a bit like a train, and a nightmare to steer one-handed.

Now we've got a third on the way, and we're trying to decide what to go for.

We really like the Babyjogger City Mini Double, and had thought our 3yo could ride a glider board but I can't see how this would work with a bassinet.

Can anyone who's been in a similar situation lend some advice?

Many thanks.

Hi GF01,

that's quite the clan you've got there!

I'm the Reviews Editor here at Mumsnet - hopefully I might be able to help. Do you have a specific budget you're working within? And are you in an urban or rural environment because this will alter your requirements a bit.

The new iCandy Orange Blossom could be a really good solution for you. It's about £790, but this includes everything you will need for all three children and even car seat adapters.

The Orange Blossom comes with a two seat frames and a carrycot seat fabric (you use the same frame for a seat or a carrycot). It also includes car seat adapters, which are compatible with all the major car seat brands - Maxi Cosi, Kiddy, Cybex, BeSafe, etc. But do double check the specific car seat models it's compatible with before you buy.

The really snazzy feature is that they've reinforced the cross bar at the back of the storage basket to double up as a built in buggy board. This means you don't need to purchase one separately, and there's no chance you'll kick it as you're walking along.

The storage basket is also vast and would definitely be big enough to house everything you'd need for a day out for three under 5s.

If the Orange Blossom isn't what you're looking for, or is perhaps more than you wanted to spend, the Mountain Buggy Duet is a great side-by-side option, and slightly cheaper (£599), which comes with the flexibility to become a single seater with extra storage if you want/need as the kids grow as well.

Mountain Buggy also have some great buggy board style products that latch onto the back of their buggies, which would suit your three year old. Their ]]mountainbuggy.com/uk/Products/freerider-stroller-board#.WQCVMIjyuUk Freerider]] (£99) is a scooter for example that doubles up as a buggy board. So you're always prepared!

Best of luck with your buggy buying and of course with baby number 3!
