Hi all,

Can anyone give me some advice? Woody, is 2 and although has just started bum shuffling, has no other mobility. We (I!) walk a lot and to get around we use a normal Maclaren buggy. However, I am now pregnant and am wondering how to solve the transport issue when I have two small non-walking ones to worry about. We have looked at the double buggy of the Phil and Ted type, where the older child sits in front, but I think if Woody isn't already too big, he soon will be and they are really expensive. Has anyone found any alternatives?

Andrea.

what about trying a todder seat that you can add on to the pusher you already have
i think they do to the weight of about 20 or 25 kg that might get you by for a yr or two or until your new baby is walking

We had the same problem and we bought a mclaren double buggy which was the side-by-side type. Although it is wider it meant that I could see what they were up to and it worked pretty well.

Thanks for your help. A buggy pod has also been suggested to us, which we think will work well for us - on into the future as well,m as they can attach to the side of a wheelchair too if we need to go down that road when Woody and Newbie are bigger...

We've just had the same issue (my boys are 16 months apart) and we've just bought the mountan buggy twin (side by side) as each seat has a 25kg weight limit for each side so it'll help in the long run i guess goodluck with it Smile
