Has anyone here been in a similar situation? Please share. By the time my third daughter is born, my middle one will be 1 year and 5 months old. I'm thinking: should I buy a double stroller and put two different seats on it? But it's huge and probably inconvenient, plus, how long will we even need it?! And if I just get one good stroller, warm and with big wheels, I obviously won't be able to walk with two strollers by myself. By summer, my middle daughter will be 2 years old, and I plan to get her a balance bike so she can move around on her own, and a buggy board for the stroller (I think it's too early for winter, she's little, plus it's cold). Please share how you did it, I've been racking my brain.

There are such strollers. My kids had a 2.2 year age gap. I bought a stroller board and attached a trailer for a balance bike. In the end, we hung the balance bike and it stood on the stroller. Not very convenient, but we managed somehow. If the age gap is this small, a stroller is better, of course.

My son stopped wanting to sit in the stroller at 1.8 years old. Both my first and second. I wouldn't get a double stroller.

My husband and I were out for a walk with two strollers

At this age, kids would walk alongside or ride their scooters.

I have a friend who bought a stroller for her kids who are close in age, similar to your situation. She got a "train" style, a lighter one.

It depends on the baby... My 3rd daughter wouldn't sit in the stroller once she started walking...
I'd get a double stroller... where one bassinet is in front of you, and the other is a seat in front.

A baby carrier/sling/nursing tank for the little one and a sling coat for you (or just an oversized coat) + a stroller/bike/sled for the older one.
You don't even need to dress them (just a hat), you can breastfeed during walks, and you maintain great mobility with your older child.
Except for cases of a very difficult baby and severe back problems, I don't see the point of a bassinet at all. Later, you can buy a stroller seat and use it with a footrest when needed.

Elena In winter, at 1 year and 5 months?! Seems unlikely.

Vedeneva Yuliya Considering this option, but walks will be very infrequent ((

In winter, at 1 year and 5 months old, I think it will be hard for her, she's so little. If it were summer, it would be different.

You should base your choice on your older child. My oldest stopped wanting to sit in the stroller at 1.4 years old, and my second only uses it for long distances now, she prefers to walk.
My kids will have a year and a half age gap, so I'm leaning more towards a stroller board for now, but we'll be using it from springtime.
Just in case, I'm looking at double strollers for kids close in age… I don't think I'll need to use a double stroller for very long. That's why I'd look into those.

Elena What's doubtful about it? My kids were born in the summer. We get around town by car, play at the playground, and it's not far to the store or kindergarten. What makes you doubt that a 1.5-year-old can walk in the winter?

Get the one with two seats! Your two-year-old won't want to walk the whole way in the winter. Mine is two and already has a stroller. I even regret there isn't a spot for my four-year-old; kids are unpredictable: today she'll walk a mile, and tomorrow she'll want to be carried.

Elena I don't doubt that a child can walk at eighteen months. I doubt that you can reliably plan all winter outings around it – especially if the little one is cold, tired, or just doesn't want to go. You have summer kids, a car, and short routes – it's great that it works so well for you. But that's your scenario, and I'm asking about mine. A child can walk, but they aren't yet a mode of transport on a schedule!

Elena How far are you planning to walk from home with your newborn and toddler, like 1, 3, or 5 km?

Elena Natalia, I don't have to report my whereabouts to you. I asked a question about the stroller, I didn't invite you to interrogate me. If you have nothing to say on the topic, just walk by. This conversation is over!

yankovskaya yuliya The stroller in the photo is perfect, but it costs an arm and a leg 😅
