    Definitely wait. We haven't bought a double pram (however DS is much older than Isla), but we also plan to have DD checked after she is born - whereas DS didn't go into his brace until he was 7 months - much hard to fit bigger braced babies into prams/carseats etc.

    Hopefully your baby will be given the all clear and you wont have to consider a new pram based on DDH!

    Traveller - Love the strolli rider! I have been looking at skateboard attachments for DS, but waiting to see if we actually need one, but the strolli rider rocks my world! If we end up needing something I reckon this will be it

    DH just informed me that the Stokke has a skateboard attachment, didn't know that

    Thanks so much guys. I think what we'll do for now is keep our pram, and when bubs gets here, have then checked, double and triple checked for DDH. DD wasn't diagnosed until 3 or 4 months, and had the brace on full time for 6 months. So we'll know more once baby is here. If there's no issue, we'll see. It also depends on what type of child DD will be in terms of walking. She isn't even close to walking yet, so I'm not sure if she'll be ready to walk lots, or even be happy to stand on a skateboard. We don't drive so public transport is it, and trips out take longer than if we drove, so she has to be comfortable. I think waiting is the best option though.

    Keep it! Not just for hippy hippy's sake. My DD just was not a prammable baby for at least her first 6 months. Baby wearing or bust at our house.

    Of course having used this logic to not get a double pram, baby Barnacle will be a pram lover, you know it

    Oh, hey, thought of you yesterday. Saw someone with a xplory and their toddler was perched up on top. Nt an official seat, obviously, but it was working for them
