New pram for toddler and baby???
Im 17 weeks pregnant and i have a 20month old. Im starting to wonder if i need to buy a double buggy. My toddler walks most of the time but if she gets tired i have my buggy for her to sit in, and if i go anywhere busy i always strap her in cos she runs around and doesnt really listen to me. I thought about getting a buggy board, its the fact i cant strap her to it that puts me off. Is anyone else in this situation, i could really use some advice so i dont waste alot of money on ANOTHER buggy.
thanks

Tate didn't walk til he was 16months, but it was more the issue of his safety when we were out. We have a buggy board but even at 2yrs and 3months he won't stand on it. I have had the following buggies: CombiWe2, great v.lightweight, but the seat does not sit up fully upright for your toddler and the seat liners/cosy toes are useless always sliding around. I then went for a Cosatto Duet Lite (tandem) so, so heavy I couldn't maneovre v.easily. But it was compact and comfortable seats for baby folds down completely flat and if you add a cosy toes is a really comfy bed. Front seat doesn't recline, so no good if your toddler still naps in buggy. Third pushchair was a basic cosatto side by side. This was a great pushchair as by this stage by baby was 6months old, and didnt' need extra padding, fully lie back seat etc. But unfortunately broke so had to replace, i have a similar one its a maclaren triumph which is great, lightweight, haven't found a door it doesn't fit through yet, folds well and boys like it. I would say one of the most important considerations is weight as any pushchair becomes v.heavy with two kids in it, especially as the baby gets bigger, and how easy it is to get around. Sorry for the long post, but as I have wasted alot of money on pushchairs I hope I've helped. I would recommend checking out small ads for secondhand ones, I sold two nearly new buggies at less than half the price! Good luck!
Apparently whether you can use it depends what your original pram is. They don't attach to all makes amd models!

She finds it really useful, although i'm not sure if it fits all pushchairs.
You can also get a Litaf (I think) 'Seat-2-go' which has a standing step and a seat for when they get extra tired.
