i have an age diff of 14m between #2 and #3.


1. Pram-would be need a double pram? We didnt end up buying one until DD was nearly 3 months old, so bought a 3 wheeler with a toddler seat. Its ok for running around the shops, but on long day trips is very hard.

2. Cot-would we need another or would DD be old enough to go into a single bed with safety rails? DD was in a cradle until nearly 5 months, so we put her into the cot when declan seemed ready to go into a bed (he went into a bed quite happily at 16 months)

3. Car seat-I assume we would need another convertable seat?? Depending on Chelsea's age and size, she might be ready for a 5 point harness seat - not necessarily a convertible. The new baby would be able to have the convertible.

Also for those who have small age gaps.....how did you cope being PG with a young child...and then afterwards when it was born? It was very hard being pregnant with such a young child (i also had a 2.5 year old) but it is doable

Good Luck!!
