However, a good front pack and a single stroller will work in a pinch. <br /><br />We transitioned Braden well in advance to his sister's arrival to his big boy bed. Our pediatrician told us it would be best, so that he doesn't feel evicted from his crib by her. Instead, he would feel like a big kid graduating to a new bed. He was 19 months old at the time, but more than ready. They sell some great bed rails these days that connect the sides under the mattress. Bottom line, if you feel he's ready go for it. If not, don't. I think this is one of those trust your instincts moments.TeamWinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750935087962085588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-85576099296782293872009-08-19T04:15:10.567-04:002009-08-19T04:15:10.567-04:00I've never had a double stroller, but when I w...I've never had a double stroller, but when I was out and about I seen stroller that had a more traditional baby part in the front and a seat for a bigger kid in the back. Maybe that would be easy to manuver? <br /><br />No help on the crib thing either, we don't have one...<br /><br />Uh I'm just a barrell of help aren't I? <br /><br />I'm glad things are going so well for you.FattyPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08471930990530375865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-30229034981354655392009-08-18T22:44:21.165-04:002009-08-18T22:44:21.165-04:00Yay for good appointments and for MT counting!

I am not sure what to do about the double stroller either. We used the bjorn so much with T that I am hoping that new baby likes it too and I can put him/ her in it while T is in her regular stroller. I am going to check out the ones recommended though and see what FJ thinks. Glad to hear about your positive OB experience. Good luck with the root canals!lubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12754004272864694622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-77719990829287860982009-08-18T13:00:27.613-04:002009-08-18T13:00:27.613-04:00We like Laurie Berkner too!

We have two umbrella strollers that we hook together, but that probably won't be best for kids of different sizes. Lastly, we LOVE the BOB ironman jogger. Love it! <br /><br />That is crazy about him dancing to the music and holding up his hand to count.

Mine kids will be 18 months apart. <br /><br />So, I bought the uppababy vista stroller and am going to get the rumble seat. They are pricey-even used. <br /><br />The phil and ted's one rocks--the vista--not the sport. Vista is better and it folds with the second seat on. <br /><br />I dont' know about you--but the traditional stroller wasn't happening in this family. They aren't made for city streets-and i find the more urban/outdoorsy ones easier to manage-and they keep their value for resale-whichmakes the price less insane. <br /><br />If I was giong to use a stroller more than twice or so a month-i would have gotten the phil and teds. <br /><br />I do think you need two cribs. I am going to get another one from craigslist-i am going to get davinci portable crib-b/c it converts into a twin. The crib is smaller-but that is the only thing that makes it portable-and since room is tight with you guys.....<br /><br />Sorry i don't have time to proof read!christina(apronstrings)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11806155985753148490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-65690141326335641792009-08-18T12:26:40.574-04:002009-08-18T12:26:40.574-04:00I am so glad everything went smoothly ay your OB a...I am so glad everything went smoothly ay your OB appointment!<br /><br />Regarding the crib issue, No second crib! I am sure MT will be ready to transition to his own big boy bed once Armadillo is ready to sleep in the crib.<br /><br />I DO believe you need a double stroller though!<br /><br />PS.

Although I've recently realized we don't know what to do with a carseat at this point. Hmmm....<br />And we're having the crib debate as well, because we've already bought 2 and don't really want to buy a 3rd! We're likely to use a pack-n-play for #3, or try to transition the boys to a mattress on a bed. My SIL recently transitioned her 18 month old to a double bed with side rails. So I guess it can be done!<br />Let me know if you find any other helpful tips for adjusting to a newborn and toddler! :)seussgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04000177197075148901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-7973563325699011882009-08-18T00:09:51.362-04:002009-08-18T00:09:51.362-04:00Love Laurie Berkner - but after listening to her o...Love Laurie Berkner - but after listening to her over and over for over 3 years - we grew pretty tired of her =] We now get to enjoy the regular music stations (usually the oldies)and they just love to dance to it.<br /><br />I didn't do the double stroller thing - so no advice on that.<br /><br />Hope things get better =]Lissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16849873133100075363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-15830417183733999042009-08-17T21:59:31.039-04:002009-08-17T21:59:31.039-04:00Laurie Berkner is great.

After the Armadillo arrives, whenever you feel that he's ready for a crib, see if MT is ready to move out.HereWeGoAJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457680345376171720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-52339154247264638812009-08-17T20:02:22.319-04:002009-08-17T20:02:22.319-04:00definitely a double is needed :)
We got a bob jog...definitely a double is needed :)<br /><br />We got a bob jogger and love it but I know many who really really love their phil and teds. I would do ebay..you can buy brand new for much less...just do your research. that is where we got ours.<br /><br />no 2nd crib is my vote. We transitioned our first out of the crib before his sister arrived at 25 months with no problems....so why can't you after new babe arrives. I bet it will go great!<br /><br />can't believe you are getting sooo close..I love reading your posts and just find it all soooo inspiring!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936222214835396040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-49381972503222002162009-08-17T18:48:34.659-04:002009-08-17T18:48:34.659-04:00I highly recommend the Phil & Teds stroller ht...I highly recommend the Phil & Teds stroller http://www.philandteds.com/sport_index.htm its fantastic!! Mine weren't as close together as your will be but its still useful now and they are almost 3, 5 and 7.5 years old. The add on bottom second seat can be removed if you aren't using it, but we usually leave it in in case one gets tired, or we need to put coats in it in winter, diaper bags, shopping purchases etc. Its not as wide as traditional double strollers so it can fit anywhere a regualr stroller can, and it fold down nice and compact.<br /><br />LOVE IT!!!Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10463243543517574653noreply@blogger.com
