Pram Dilema!

[loza]

Hi all,

Im 35 weeks pregnant and already have a 17 month old daughter. I already have the Jane Slalom Pro Matrix system pram and so instead of buying a double buggy I have decided that I will use this once again for my unborn child, however I am not sure what will be best to suit my toddler. Either the Jane Surfer Board (anyone have experience with use of this?) or whether I will be able to purchase a clip on seat for her to sit in on our outings. Can anyone give me info on what they would suggest, and whether I could get such a seat to fit my current pram.

Thankyou.

hi Lauren,
17 months is rather young I think to be standing on a buggy board, i expect that your daughter still likes to nap in her pusher at times.

have you considered a double like the phil and teds? this can convert back to a single at any point.

theres the buggypod which is a seat unit that attaches to most pushchairs too, but it doesnt recline and wouldnt have a hood or raincover. http://www.preciouslittleone.com/acatalog/bugg ypodsmorph.html

Hiya, My daughter was 19 months old when my litte boy arrived, she's been walking since she was 10 months old, so, although she was a good walker it was still too much for her little legs to be either walking or on a board.
I bought a phil & teds Vibe - which at first was perfect for our needs, however, as the wee man got a bit bigger and moved to the rear seat (instead of the lying down position) I found that he was right online with exhaust fumes and, was also quite cold during the winter months.

I got a side by side pram (mamas & papas) instead which has been great until it broke a couple of weeks ago. So, we took a chance and bought a buggy board in the hope that she would be able to cope.

She'll be 3 in Nov and my little boy is almost one now, She's been using a buggy board but still finds it too much to stay upright for a longer journey. I got the train home from nursery with them the other day and just the walk from the train station to my house was enough for her to be on her knees on the board with her head in the shopping basket!!

I'm thinking of getting another double buggy for the sake of the nursery trips (40 min walk either way)

You can get buggy board that have a seat on them too if that's any use to you, but just be aware of how long your little one will be on their legs and, if you're anything like me, being so short, I find it hard to reach the handles of the pram when the buggy board's in use!!! haha.

Good luck with your new arrival :)
