Pram for newborn and toddler

[*Efjay*]

For a 3 yr old I would get the skateboard thingy. toddler seats on 3 wheelers tend to be a bit iffy & can tip. Toys r us has a new thingy that is like a side car but then your making the pram wide....

I think your skate board option would be best.

All I can think of is a Phil and teds but I dont know if i like them, the baby part looks like the bub could fall out.

*giggles* Ray! Why would they make a pram where the baby can fall out?! Sorry, I can't stop giggling here. I can just see the makers now:
- Roight, that's it then, finished the pram.
= It doesn't look too safe, look, the baby could fall out the back.
- Ahh well, you win some, you lose some.

(Nelle desperately hopes that Ray KNOWS I love her, and I do know that some prams can be less safe than they should be.) Okay, I'm done with my teasing now.

Despite the P&T being perfectly safe (I have one) - if you're looking at one for shopping...how about a baby carrier? I know that's not a pram, but I bought the P&T with the thought that I'd use it for both boys at the same time, but I find it heaps easier to wear Si in a carrier and then chuck Riv in a pram or trolley. There are exceptions - clothes shopping you don't really want to be taking the baby on and off, or if it's the middle of summer perhaps...

FJ could be onto something with the skateboard thingy, just depends on whether your older one will want to sit down, and whether you have a runner (my little sis was a runner, and was always firmly strapped to something or someone. ).

i know i only have 1 child but bought phil and ted beasuse i wanted to be able to keep same pram!!

I love it. I have the dash.

i have the phil and ted.. and hope to use the bub in the laay down feature at the back very soon!!
it is safe.. i mean DD was in it as a baby and the toddler seat it on the front (not the back)... we have set it up like this for a month now to get DD used to being up higher in the toddler upright seat.

I have used it with my sisters newborn in the back flat and no probs!

I love my P&T as well! I think the newborn seat (in laydown position) is fantastic. It slightly rocks from side to side when walking, and it puts Emily to sleep everytime.
But for a 3 year old, they probably would prefer to walk, so maybe what FJ suggested.

yeah I am just thinking that a P&T is alot of money for a 3.5yr old. Need to think of your weight ranges too when looking.

I love my P&Ts but I have to admit that now that the boys are older it rarely gets used. I think a skateboard might be a better option for a 3yo. Also, as Nelle suggested, I would think about using a sling for the bub. Mine was the most useful thing I bought. I usually had baby in sling, toddler in the P&Ts or walking. So much easier, especially if you don't need a pram/stroller at all.

FionaJill - that was my thought too, he's already 16kilos and a lot of prams only go up to 17.

Nelle - lol you're a dag! I will try a sling with this bub. Milo hated his though, so I might try a different type this time.

I think we will go the skateboard option, I'll just have to find a pram I like that will work with it. Definitely going to the expo now, lots of reasearching to do
