NB twins and baby under 1. Pushchair Advice!
Hi All
I'm 26, I have a 5 1/2 month old daughter, Milly, and just found out that I am 18 weeks pregnant with twins. I struggeled with PND for the first few months, but was actually pregnant when Milly was 8 weeks old. I am happy that I am pregnant and have the full support of my partner and family, but worry about pushchairs of all things.
Can any one give me any advice re:twin/tandem/tripple pushchairs. I need to be able to be out and about from very early one to keep my sanity, if nothing else. Milly wont be ready for walking all the time, but dont want to have the cumbersome effort of a tripple buggy. She wont be ready for a boogie board but thought of something similar, a seat that clips on to the back. Can anyone halp me with this? Or any other advice is always accepted.
Many thanks
Sally

Thanks for the link, I have seen this product before but it looks a little unsafe, do you think? But there again not sure how stable a 10 month old would be on that seat.
When I was a kid I remember seeing a seat that fits on top of the old style prams. So the older child faces mum while babes are in the carry cot of the pram. Again not sure if Milly would be up for that, having to look at my tired old face the whole time.
Does anyone else remember these types of seats?
Thanks again Sarah

HAVE YOU SEEN THE CARRY SLINGS THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO PUT A BABY TO TODDLER IN,ME AND ANN-OF-LOXLEY WERE HAVING THIS CHAT IN THE LOUNGE FORUM,SHE HAS PUT A WEB ADDRESS UP.THATS FOR CARRYING YOUR ELDIST SO YOU ONLY NEED A DOUBLE BUGGY.
I REMEMBER THE SEAT YOUR ON ABOUT AS MY MUM HAD ONE.HAVE YOU TRYED LOOKING AT THE SILVER CROSS(EXPENSIVE THEY CAN BE)AS THATS THE ONE I BELIEVE IT USED TO FIT.
XX
THE SEAT AT BABYCARE-DIRECT IS A LIFTA SEAT TO GO AND 38POUNDS(MY POUND SIGN WONT WORK)hehe!
If you wanted another idea is to get a double
Or i found a web site who does triple buggys Epinons.com, its a baby trend triple brecken ridge(7678t) stadard stroller.$269.95 mind you.
Hope this helps a little.

Glad I'm causing a stir! I'm pretty sure that I'll end up having to have these twins by c section as it will be less than 12 months since my last one when these are ready to make an apperance. So because of that reason dont really want to rely on having to carry either of the twins or my 10 month old in a sling or carrier type. I need to be mobile asap to stop the baby blues setting in again.
Never thought of Ebay - found the right thing that I was looking for, the pram seat. I will have to research a little more to see if it would fit onto the kind of prams that I'm looking at.
Thanks again
Sally
Hope you can find the right one.and look forward to hearing about it soon.

Well after a month of looking, and finding everything but what I was looking for, a contact from mothercare came up trumps. I visited mothercare and explained what I was looking for, and the shop assistant explained that she knew of a woman in the same position as me, and that she looked as fas afield as New Zealand the right one. She said it was a twin All Terain pushchair, with a toddlerseat in the front.
Kiwi kid was the supplier, so i looked it up on the net and found it. I was told to expect to be paying 500-600 quid for it. But the exchange rate must be more favourable. Looks like it could cost me around £300. Cool!
Just thought I should keep you informed.
Cheers Sally
Will you get maternity grant as that will pay for it.
Oh have you written to any baby companies like pampers and said your having twins(you could get lots of freebies)
Oh and it works yipee.

I didnt think of that. Dont think that i would get a maternity grant. my fella earns too much i think, but will double check.
As far as writing to companies, think that i will have to swallow some pride to do something like that.
Thanks to everyone and their words of advice etc..
Cheers
Sally
Hello,
sorry I know this post is very old but could you please send me the name of the pushchair you found? i cant seem to find it off kiwi kids. I currently have a 14 month old and just found out I'm pregnant with twins. he is walking but I don't think fully enough yet.
Many thansk x
