Double buggy or buggy board?

I'm pregnant with baby no. 2 only 7 weeks so really early but been thinking about this on and off. My little girl has been walking since 10 months and is getting more and more confident walking round outside the house and garden. Baby no. 2 is due in December and there will be a 20 month age gape between the two. I'm usually out with my little girl and the dog alone a fair bit at the moment. Is it worth looking at a double buggy or just getting a buggy board? Mums with a similar age gap what have you found helpful when out alone with the little ones

Mines 16 month apart and having a double buggy is better for us as he gets tried after so long xxx

@Deanna that's was my thinking but can't find a double buggy I like that isn't gonna coast the earth even second hand

Mine was £240 folds small it’s great it’s joie Evalite due xxx

Yeah I got the Joie Evalite Duo for £199, (kiddie kingdom website) it's good for going around shops etc but if going for long walks it can be a little unsteady so honestly I haven't used it that much (I put baby in the carrier for now and toddler in the single pram). I've bought a buggy board also just to see what it will be like, cost me £35 from Aldi (Lascal mini), but we haven't tried it yet so no comment there

Ive got an 18 month gap and current 20month old and id recommend a double! The buggy board is hit and miss if he will use it which makes it difficult as he wants to be carried! I got mine from fb marketplace

We got a double buggy too, the hauck duett II. So easy to get around, lightweight and it has a proper carrycot, which was my main requirement. You can get it for less than £300

@Noelia the bassinet is a must have for me but struggling to find any that aren't just strapped into the seat part. I like the style of the bugaboo donkey's but even secondhand they're out of our budget. A lot of doubles I see have Hoods that cover the bassinet what I really don't like.

Is anyone happy sharing photos of their buggy set ups please ?

22 month gap (very active early walking lg) and our double has been a godsend for the last 8 months, still use almost daily - OutNAbout double

@Amaya thank you I really appreciate it. I found a similar one that's like a full travel system but with the extra toddler seat at the from for just under £800. If you don't mind me asking how much was yours?

No worries, and I won't lie it was on the pricier side at ~£700 but it did come with a car seat too. I found a 10% discount code only which took it to around £600. I was more annoyed at myself as we had bought a pram for our first which was £400 and if we had any idea we would have 2 under 2 then we would've bought this straight away! Also to add, we did look at side by side prams but found they were just too big/wide. About 90% of them wouldn't be able to fit through our front door and as I don't drive I didn't want to be stuck going on public transport.

@Amaya can you lift that? We had to send it back because there’s no way I could go up one step, it’s sooo high and sooo heavy as the toddler goes on the front. I am very petite but even my husband struggled.

@Noelia my little girl loves walking but also loves seeing the world. I appreciate the suggestion but this style will make longer days out impossible with her

@Noelia it's definitely a two man job to get it in the house unless my daughter gets out the front!
