Buggy recommendations for 18mth old and baby??
Hi everyone, I have just found out that I am pregnant with baby number two!! DS1 will be just over 18mths when baby comes along so will still need to be in a pushchair some of the time I guess.
My question is for those of you with that sort of age gap what buggys you have gone for? I would ideally like one that I could attach baby's car seat to and also would rather have one that has the seats one in front of the other as opposed to side by side but again it depends on what everyone recommends...ideas please??

make it more compact in the boot.
I have bang on 18 months between my boys and started out convinced that my 18 month old DS1 would mostly walk.
Errr no. With the feezing weather we have had and the amount I actually walk the dog I was sooo wrong!!
I don't find the carseat a problem really. Just take ds2 out of the carseat and pop him in the snug cocoon and he is so comfy. (I have put a big blanket down underneath for lots extra padding) Perfect for him too as he can sleep laid flat.
Ds1 really loves riding upfront, and if he decides to walk, the pram is so easy to push and steer one-handed. I really love it.
Like PP said, P&T's are expensive, but look on Ebay, they keep their resale value very well as they are so popular.
Ds2 is 4 months next week and I have been umming and erring about putting him in the upright seat, but he still has space in the cocoon and likes looking up at Mummy as I push him!
I'd advise to visit somewhere like Kiddicare, do lots of research into the different models as each offer different things that may appeal to you. I liked the Dash as it has plastic footrest, spy hole to see eldest child, big cocoon, plastic view-cover for youngest child and so light to push.
I did have a side-by-side too... but sold it faster than I had it at home for!!
It was just too wide for shops in my town and ds1 will be walking loads when weather improves... but not if I had to push a huge pushchair around too.
Good luck with your decision... I know its a toughie but take your time and think things through... test as many as you can and don't be afraid to stop Mum's in the street if you see one you like - I did and showered them with questions!! haha! xx

I have the nipper 360 which i like, but its a bit wide to take into town.
At the moment i normally take my oldest out in the stroller and the baby in my close baby carrier as i find this easiest, and my LO prefers to walk most of the time so its easier to use the carrier for the baby and the single stroller in the car if needed
