Do I need a double buggy ?

If you didn't want to get a double buggy or toddler seat you could carry bubs in a carrier (sling/wrapetc) and have Ty in the buggy. A sling would be small enough to put in a bag so that if bubs is in the pram and he wants a rest you can swap them around too.

Depends on how far you want to walk really? I used a sling all the time when Cooper was young. I was doing kindy & then school pick ups since he was a week old & he sleep really well in there. I wouldnt think you'd need the double until he was 6 months old or unless you wanted to go clothes shopping with both kids!

atm we've just got a Mountain buggy whatchamacallit , Urban

Ahh bless, all these ideas that I walk far , it would really just be to go shopping , maybe occasionally to walk .
And I suppose sometimes to pick C up from school , tho usually I drop her at the gate now

would wait until bubs was born . We went out and bought a double buggy ( an expensive one too ) and Lewie HATES it. Won't go in it. I ended up with him in the Moby for a few months then bought a SSC. You can always get a toddler seat/buggy after bubs is born

I had a 21 month age gap between my 2 and was the same as Bizzy, only used the double a few times with both of them.  I ended up carrying Drew around in the ergo and when he was a bit bigger he was constantly on my hip in the sling.  I reckon a carrier is the way to go unless you needed it for walking etc

oh and I think I said it on FB but CONGRATS again on the pregnancy!!

I don't think you need a double but I would def be looking at gettinga buggy with a toddler attachment.

I have 21/22 months between my two and use my buggy all the time. We have been on holiday alot and also we are out and about alot. I do use my sling but really found after the first 8 weeks it was easier to have my buggy with me as then they could both chill out more.

I guess its up to you but we couldn't have made do with a single buggy and sling.

A friend has maybe about the same gap between her two and they find that the older wants to walk mostly, They have a kiddy board for their buggy but it hardly got used.

We have a 24mth gap and I have a phil & teds so got the attachment which was great. Its alot narrower than a double buggy so easier to get around the shops -- so i really liked it at first. Its a bit harder getting the bub in the back as they get bigger tho. Jake was as slow as a wet week when waskling (toddler time) - or even slower - and quite happy to sit in the buggy so I much preferred that to letting him walk!! And there is no way I'd want to lug around Morgan in a sling - she was over 9lbs to begin with and I'm quite small!! When Morgan was about 7 months we got a cheap little side-by-side stroller as we were planning to go overseas - and we still use it all the time. They love sitting next to each other, and if Jake wants to walk he can. Sometimes we use the P&Ts still, like at the zoo, so if Jake gets tired he can get in.

To be honest I never went on big walks once I had both of them (western springs a few times) cos it was so blumen heavy to push them both!

I have a 19 month age gap between my youngest two and we have decided to invest in a Mountain Buggy Duo because I do plan to do a bit of walking with it.

Looking on TM the seem to hold there value really well so shouldn't loose too much money if you choose to sell it at a later date.

Nah none of the MB have toddler seats but I see on TM you can get those toddler boards which might fit? They stand on them while you push lol

So have you decided against investing in a double?
