? for Mums with 2 under 2 - Strollers

I would if I had two just get a sling. Put small bubs in the sling and toddler in the pram. (but then that is me) No need to buy a bassinette then but can get the stroller then if you want when they are bigger.

I got a double buggy then sold it in favour of my sling... cheaper too!

We have a Phil & Ted E3, and love it! There's 18 months between the boys, and the pushchair has been great. I considered getting a sling, but Xavier is such a big boy that I thought I wouldn't get the use out of it.

my idear at the moment is that i will use a frount pack when baby is little i have also brought a wrist leach for miss 2 (she can get out of her stroler and man she can run verry fast) she loves her leach because she can explor the shelves at the shops and she is not confined to her stroler.

I bought the Childcare double umbrella stroller from Baby Factory, probably the same one as Maree and that was great, lightweight, easy to steer (even one handed) and folded down really small. I only used it for a few months though as Jaz now walks everywhere, I've just sold it and we're back to the single stroller.

we still looking for a pram to and i only have 3wks till im due lol.
we ahve found most toddler seats only hold to 16kg and haleighs a very heavy toddler weighing at 14kg so it would be pointless for us.
we love the phil and teds and i really want it but its a matter of finding the money for it lol.
the sling idea is good but if your walking lots like i do cause i dont drive it would be to difficult to get around, and very hot work.

This is my issue. The Phil & Teds toddler seat apparently only takes up to 15kg which is fine coz if you have a toddler and a younger bub you can ust move bub into the toddler seat and put the toddler in the actual pram itself which has a higher weight limit.

But as both my babies are the same age/size I'm worried they will hit 15kg before they are ready to be out of the buggy full time. Maya was well over 3 when she got to 15kg, but the gremlins have grown a lot faster than her so far...

the thing is haleigh doesnt look 14kg so it suprises me she is so heavy.
she looks so tiny, jsut really tall lol, my doc jsut said she had a head start
I thought the P&T toddlers went to 20kg, that what the lady in baby city told me??

We'd go for the Mountain Buggy double for out walking (sorry but really not a P&T fan *ducks*) but for malls etc stick with the umbrella stroller and an ergo or sling.

Was almost going to get the Phil and Teds as they were similar price and weight but let hubby decide and he thought this one looked manlier :) Valco

FYI for anyone interested, the toddler seat on the Valco has a max weight of 20kgs so can hold a little more than the average.
