[wfc3]

Need some advice I have a 2 year old well he will be 3 on boxing day I really don't want a double buggy how did people find having 2 did the older one ever want the buggy, I have my quinny zapp for if we go anywhere as a family, really want a buggy with a carrycot can't afford a lot so will have to be second hand or on a payment plan what to people suggest, I do like the icandy peach or a oyster xx

We are getting the icandy peach 3 with adaptors so baby can be in car seat, and my 2.9 year old in the upper seat.
We will only need it as a double occasionally, so I liked the way it goes back to single mode and offers so much fexibility.

A buggy board is also an option-but we decided against this, as my 2 year old has a habit of running off.

Thank you sounds like a plan would like a carrycot this time though I think just can't find one I like haha so fussy also can't find where best to get one cheap as possible or on a payment plan

I was toying with ordering the lower carrycot-if you get the peach, you'd probably want that so you could have lower carrycot and upper seat unit option.

You could buy one on eBay, or some places do payment plans. Mothercare recently became icandy stockists and I think they have a payment plan.

They also have the oyster-you could take a look at in store and have a play with to compare!

Agh yeah maybe not sure I want a double at all I know you can get a buggy board

My dd1 was 2.7yrs when dd2 came along. We never got a double or a buggy board. She just walked and was totally fine. We kept an umbrella buggy for her when we went out as a family but only took it with us once as she just didn't need it so we got rid.
Before dd2 came along, she was quite reliant on her buggy but she surprised us! Thankfully, she has never been one to run off so that hasn't been an issue

Thats good to know our little boy would rather walk but does sometimes like to sit in the buggy when little one comes a long it will be a month before his 3rd birthday

My due date is a month before my boys 3rd birthday. I've been getting him used to walking recently. Well, getting me used to it haha. He's not one for running off, likes to hold my hand, but I do put reins on him just incase.
I'm not buying a double buggy or anything, I may get a buggy board, just incase and for longer walks. I'm confident he can walk to the vital places now though.
