My girls are 22months apart, when I was pg i moved DD1 from her cot to a "big" girl bed (you could also get a toddler bed) as i didnt see the point of buying a 2nd cot when she wouldnt be far off a bed at 2 anyway!

we got rid of the dummy & bottle at 18 months because they were for the baby now

It was actually a really great excuse to get her to let go of things she didnt really need anymore & she thought she was so grown up

I brought a Bertini pram with toddler seat as although DD1 walked most places she did get tired often and we still needed that seat!

Phil & teds are your best bet for a small car they fold fantasticly
