HELP

I have a P&T vibe, and tbh i dont like it anyway but have persevered with it, today we have been a walk to feed the ducks
E's head is touching the metal bar on the back of her seat which means we cant recline it.

she is too small to not recline and A is too little to walk everywhere so just wanted some help as to next steps, those that have buggy boards, do your kids stay on them?

or do i bite the bullet and buy another double by side by side?

HELP!!!!

Noooooo not a side by side!!! They are clumsy, bulky and dont fit through doorways properly.

TBH hun when Tom was born i made Chel walk everywhere and she was fine on some reins and there same age gap as A & E XXXXXXXXXXX

i used a buggy board for the first few months with braden, he was 15 months old and much to my suprise he actually did stay on it!
x

the sport is alot better....lewis' head still doesn't touch the bar(unless he deliberately pushes up) and he's nearly 16months....i noticed the same thing with the vibe when i was looking at it before lewis was born.

have put her in it when she isnt wrapped up with a hat and we have room, but i still hate the fact she is exposed down there so she has to be wrapped up!

grrrrrrrrr, so want to get rid of it!
we are in a pickle over it cos adams sister was selling it to us and she just wanted enough to but a stroller (M&P) for her youngest, but adams grandad ended up buying her the new stroller so she gave us it, now i dont know if we are allowed to sell it to buy a new one or not!

i'm sure if you explain that E is uncomfortable in there she will be fine with you guys selling it to get a new one

technically its urs to sell?? have to admit, i hate my silver cross pop and its lay up stairs in the cupboard for 4 months!!! used it a handfull of times. its heavy and annoying. i didnt have a doorway problem, it is more slimline than most. just i think with having 1 toddler sized, heavy child and 1 new born in opposite sides put the weight off a bit and it had a mind of its own in which direction it wanted to go in.

i havent even bothered with the buggy board now either. alasdair walks everywhere now. i just time it between his nap. i dont go out all day thou vut i have to admit, iv slung him over my shoulder a few times just to get stuff done faster lol!! u always find a way

Wil loves the buggy board on my sister's pushchair and will happily ride along even in preference to walking. My niece on the other hand who is a year older than Wil won't go on it for more than a couple of minutes.

ooooohhhhhh i can help with this one!!!! As you know ive had my fair share of prams, and just yesterday I think I may have cracked it!!



Im selling my buggy board as Isla will not stay on it for love nor money, and it freaks her out!

A side by side double is a big no no for us, she was whacking Jess, and I couldnt get through door ways.

Icandy Peach tandem - Seats are too small for our toddlers, so that one went too.

Ive tried making her walk, but suddenly weve gone into tantrums, so really need to keep her tied in for my mental safety!!!

BUT.................I bought a Jane powertwin yesterday, and its bloody fabulous!!!!!!! If you buy new the cheapest i have found is babies r us for £299, or ebay are between £80-£150 ish.

Tiddler goes at the back and can lay flat if needed or it right up when old enough, and big'un goes in the front. Really easy to push and tip up kerbs, AND IT GOES THROUGH ALL DOORWAYS!!!

IM IN LOVE!!!!!!!!!

Get your bum down to babies r us, and try one out....then get on ebay and get one on the cheap! xxxxx

oo we are going to have this problem..

we are thinking about getting a graco tandam.. but worried if paige will be too big for it when the time comes (she will of just turned two, or comming up two) as she is a big tall girly..

We have the aussie one i got off ebay but its deffo not gona go through doorways so its in boot of car for days out and will be using c in a stroller and awen in a sling initially for shorter journeys.

Im also getting my mum to get the frame of the britax out the loft to attach A's carseat to and putting a buggy board on that so will have options

Rot, i have the quinny frame for the car seat and a sling so have only had to use the P&T a handful of times, and mainly when it was in cocoon mode, i really do not like E being so exposed at the bottom and not reclined.
E is too heavy for the sling the fat little monkey breaks my back!

its the old gift horse in the mouth scenario, i dont want her to think we are making money off her, but we cant afford to buy a new pram without selling this

LisaM, thanks will have a look at the powertwin, have a feeling i looked at this when pregnant. x

A friend of mine has the jane, it is lovely but with the heavier toddler in the front i would find it difficult to tip up to get up a kerb, we were looking at that type of tandem when we got rid of our side by side but with Andrew on the front i was practically jumping on the handle to tip it up a display.

Another friend of mine has the same problem with her mothercare hoxon (or something like that ... hmm went to find a link but cant see it, perhaps they dont sell anymore? )

I wouldnt recommend a side by side i got rid of mine because it just wasnt practical.

I havent seen a double i could reccomend tbh. I get along well with my P&T most of the time but obviusly your not going to want another lol!!

Hey wriggs!!

They have done something with the design on the powertwin, because it is surprisingly absolutely fine to tip with the big one in the front. At the moment I cant find any issues with it at all......its a great double!!!

Ooh I might ask my friend for a push!!

Well if that is sorted then it looks like a smashing pushchair! I really like the look of it, its fairly long but both children have a good amount of space so a good trade off really!

Lol single pushchairs are so much simpler than doubles! Lol

I keep debating a buggy board but i just take the P&T out set up as a double even if Andrew walks all the time
