I am due baby no 2 at the end of October. DS1 will be 2.5. I don't know what to do regarding transport!
I am torn between the Phil & teds E3 or just getting a buggy board with a single buggy. what have other people done wth similar age gaps??

my age gap was 2.2yrs and I bought a marco sky. I honestly only used it about 3 times then ds decided he wanted to walk. We do use it on big day trips out and am pg with no.3 with a 13mth gap this time so it was not totally wasted. I think it depends on how much walking you have to do. I drive so dont need ds to walk for very long. Would try buggy with a decent ring sling first personally.[I hated idea of a sling but dd was a clingy baby/still is and it has been fab especially as it only cost me £18}

Thanks for the advice!i was thinking about just using my baby bjorn sling for a couple of months and seeing how thing go - my DS1 will not walk anywhere - he starts off each journey saying "i'll walk" and within 2 mins he wants to be carried so i just end up putting himin his buggy.
I also drive but like to walk a lot - helps with the baby weight!!! I'm worried about relying on him walking if i want to go shopping or if he needs a nap when we are out! Also it will be winter! Wish i was loaded and could buy several options!!!

lol well I would say with him being older get a buggy board, or throw sling in bottom of pram by time baby is 6mths he will prob have dropped his afternoon nap[ds is 2.10yrs now and has dropped his the last month] and will also be stronger.

meant to add marco sky is a good cheap option can pick one up on ebay for around £70

Thanks - might look out for one on ebay. That won't break the bank and then at least if he was being lazy i could still get my walk!! Thanks a million!
