When to ditch the pram?

My girl is 15 months and we stopped using it maybe a month or so ago, wasn’t worth the fight and strop each time!🥴🤣

Although I have seen a lot of 2 year olds who turn lazy and love the pram so I’m unsure, it might be worth keeping just for those long walks etc. I’m due my second in September so still unsure whether to get the double or not!

In my experience they get over the independent walking phase and revert back to life of luxury!

My first wanted to go in the pram more when baby arrived… also needed for holidays, long park runs, busy shopping centres etc

Honestly depends on how far you're going, if you're only going from car to house/shops/playground/anywhere then ditch the pram but I dont drive & walk everywhere so definitely needed double pram also buggy boards are so cumbersome! My 2 are 18mths apart. When we're travelling & it's nap time, the pram was super handy!

You are going to have a second, so it will be hard managing both when out if you don't have a ride option for your oldest. Single pram and buggy board sounds a better idea. Also, when the baby will be here, your oldest might have a regression and want to be in a pram like the baby. I would wait a bit longer before returning the double

We had a 20 month age gap and never used a double buggy. Our eldest loved her buggy board.

It's probably still going to be useful for longer walks, day outings or hikes. Young kids have a hard time walking the whole day at the zoo for example. A stroller or wagon is nice to have.

Speaking of, maybe he'd prefer a wagon at this age, you can put more stuff in it and keep him entertained.

I still used the pram until 4 coz even though initially in the trip he wants to walk or run around w his little buddies, after 2-3hrs walking at the zoo or wherever he eventually gets tired and wants the pram and up until 3, still napped in the pram. We’re out a lot on play dates and going here and there w lots of walking, so he always wants to jump in his pram after he’s had enough of walking. We used it till 4. And places where we didn’t bring the pram I end up carrying him back to the car. In my heels 😂 so yes. Pram please.

Yep she also hated the stroller for months around the same age but now she’s back in it on occasion and it helps cuz she’s a runner! 🏃‍♀️

Get a sit and stand stroller

My lg is 2 & although she likes walking sometimes it’s impossible to go to like town etc with her walking because she just runs off and honestly it’s stressful 😂😂😂 if going somewhere where she can run off park grass then fair enough but no I’m keeping the pram for a while plus it comes in useful for shopping 😂
