Should I buy a double pram or will we get by with a boogie board?

Maybe you are fitter than I am Miss E! We have a 2 hills (okay it's only like 150m long) to walk up to do a round trip to the local coffee shop. But when you think about the weight of the stroller (ours is 13kg) plus DS1 (12kg) and DS2 (5kg) that is a lot of weight.

Perhaps you could use the sling for baby for the first few months and then re-evaulate then if the older LO still needs a stroller. Or you could get one 2nd hand/cheap. They are just so expensive that unless you are rolling in cash....

I saw a lady with one of those skateboards the other day and made a comment about how convenient it looked and she said "Don't get one, they're a gimmick and so hard to push when her son is standing on it".

At that age unless you are doing loads of walking I would just get a buggy board. I use my Maclaren at the shops with either one in - today Mister nearly 3 wanted to walk and Miss 4 was feeling lazy so it worked well. If both want to get in Izzy usually has to walk for a bit. If we are going somewhere like the zoo - we will usually take the P&T and I use it for walking to and from kinder - its 45kgs with both kids in and hard work but I still love it and it is a great work out.

My two are 2yrs 9mths apart and I couldn't get out of the house without the double pram.

My oldest is 3.5 now and still loves the pram. He isn't very compliant due to his comprehension (autism) so he would run away on the skateboard. We bought a skateboard while pregnant, it never got used. Carried baby in sling for the first few months then got a double pram.

That's the same age gap we're going to have... I think I am leaning towards the double pram.
