toddlers and rain

[Layla]

Hi guys

I need advice... i have brought a double pram for when the baby comes, but Coby is going through a stage wehre he is refuseing to sit in his pram and wants to walk everywhere.

Im not considering getting a buggy board instead for him so he can walk and have the option to be wheeled if he gets tired.

Only consern i have is if its raining, i am going to look in to getting him wellies and wet weather coat/hat etc but im not sure how he will cope with it all.

How does your toddler cope with the rain?

Im not sure weather to keep the double as a back up or just to get my money back and only have teh single and buggy board.

i have the buggy board, at 1st chloe hated it now she loves it! i cudnt afford double after it broke, she doesnt need wellies wen its raining and shes fine with coat and hat! she hates waterproof! as long as she has a warm cardie on under her coat shes fine!kids are tougher than we think lol!

 

[Layla]

how do you get on with the board, whats its like up and down curbs?

its easy as up and down kerbs! i thot it wud b hel but its not! also easy on off bus! only problem is walking downhill( i live on a hill) but its no biggie, i do it everyday lol u get used to it!

Thanks hun, I think i will defo look in to getting one and just keep the double for emergancys, it was only £120 so its not a big amount of money to have wasted

u can always sell double on wen uve no need for it anyhoo! wen i sold my 1st tandem i made £40 profit!!! (well actually i made £140 profit, cos mil payed for it llf!)

another question...sorry

Do the buggy board fit on to any pram? the one i have from Coby is really bulky..

Thanks for that Skiwi!

Looks like there are good and bad points to it, same as teh buggy board really, what i like about it is that its at teh side so i can walk normaly rather than haveing to walk back a bit if there was a buggy board in front of me.

Its only going to be for teh school runs and going back and forth to the local shops, if i go up town or anything then i will prob use the double so i can get where im going quicker.

layla, u dont need to walk back a bit 4m the buggy board really, its in line with the pram, i know its sounds daft, but its hard to explain!

 

[Layla]

i have long legs and short arms lol

[ablaze]

only way i can explain it, see wen buggy is lying down... thts all space it takes up! it looks huge, but it dont feel much diff, cept wen ur goin downhill liek i sed lol!

 

[Layla]

i dont know, when i walk my feet tend to kick the back of the pram, if a bugy board is meant to go there then i will kick it all the time wont i?

Showed jase the bike thing, he likes it too so i think we are going with that, 60 quid mind! so i will try to find a cheaper one on ebay

[ablaze]

buggy boards are £50 lol, so not much diff!

will coby manage to hold on to bike thingy

 

[Layla]

yeah i think so, on holiday he loved the carasell rides, he was on them all the time and wasnt straped in or anything, he sits really well on them...

cool pity theres nowhere you can try these things 1st tho eh!!

chloe hasted her buggy board at 1st n refused to stand on it! she loves it now thankfully!!!

 

[Layla]

yeah i would prefer to test it out first, shame there not in the shops really.

If for any reason he doesnt get on with it i will just sell it, going to get a cheap one so that i donht waste money in case he doesnt like it, but im sure he will
