Two children and nursery run…

I had a 2.5 year age gap between mine. We just had fixed car seats, but I would take my newborn out first and leave toddler secured in his seat. Newborn would go into the baby carrier and then I’d get my toddler out. And I’d put toddler in first and get him secured before getting newborn out the baby carrier.

When my second got a bit bigger and that became a bit trickier, I would tell my eldest to “hug my leg” whilst I put my youngest in or out of the car seat. By that time I felt he was less likely to run off, but I could feel him hugging my leg and if he stopped doing that I’d get a heads up.

Love this thank you! X

Newborn first then toddler. Or walk its so much easier with a pushchair x

Drop off, get your newborn out then your toddler,
Collecting, open your passenger door or your toddlers door and ask him to get in then go put your newborn in and then go round and secure your toddler

Its easier when the baby is younger because you can just keep them in the car seat and carry them in like that (if you have a seat with an isofix base that is easy to get in and out). No matter where I am going, my toddler is always first in the car and last out, because he is the flight risk (mine legs it any chance he gets).x

Can you give him some responsibility, a job just for him because he’s the old one. To keep him occupied and not running off. Could he help push the pushchair or something, obviously something that motivates him. Hey baby out first and give him a toy in the car that he only ever has during that time, something special so you can safely get baby out.

I have a donna pram best thing ever! Didn't have it with my first nut second its a life saver, I can park her right next to car to get toddler in the just put her in x
