That makes a lot of sense, that would be an awful lot of child to push around, if she were to be on a piggy back board. I love baby wearing, so I'll just plan on doing that for as long as I can, if DD wants to ride. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommies-of-3-or-more#post-824741 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 06:28:37 +0000 chopsuey 824741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SAHM0811: a third??? Do you have news to share mama?!</p> <p>edit: Sorry, I have no experience, but I would have my 4 yo walk, put my 2yo in a stroller and wear my infant. If I were traveling alone I'd probably bring a double stroller for my 2yo and infant and buy 4 seats total.<br /> I'm scared to travel alone with 2.. can't imagine having to travel with 3!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommies-of-3-or-more#post-824670 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 23:40:21 +0000 SAHM0811 824670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess it depends on how much walking you do... </p> <p>I took my 4 year old on a lot of all-day walking excursions and having her sit in a double with her 1 year old sister was essential. She's a great napper too, so having somewhere she could nap was huge! Some people say 4 year olds are too old for strollers, but it really depends on your needs. There were excursions where she refused to sit in it though too and just wanted to hold her aunt's hand everywhere... Fine! But on other days, I was grateful she still had a seat.</p> <p>So, if you anticipate you need that, I'd have the older two in the double, and I would plan on babywearing the infant. </p> <p>My first DD is 5 now and although we bring the double out sometimes, she's fine riding alongside on her balance bike too. We have a Mountain Buggy Duet and I think it accomodates a board or the free rider, for when #3 comes along, but I wouldn't go that route as I like that she gets cycling practice while we stroll.</p> <p>My plan with three kids is for the double to primarily hold my younger two, and my older one is fine with walking a lot or riding on her bike. If she gets tired, I would babywear the infant and give her a seat. My middle DD still doesn't mind babywearing either (she's almost 2). I think because I wore her a lot while chasing after my eldest.</p> <p>Oh and BTW, I have tried pushing a UB Vista with two kids in it with a rumble and a 3rd (a preschool friend) on the piggy back board... It's heavy and cumbersome and not ideal... It's great they market it as a stroller that can hold three kids... But I wouldn't do it for long walks if I could avoid it. I prefer wearing the little one and pushing just two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommies-of-3-or-more#post-824560 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 21:18:31 +0000 heffalump 824560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice, I only have one so far. Hoping someone else can help you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommies-of-3-or-more#post-823157 Fri, 31 May 2013 21:05:30 +0000 MamaBehr 823157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, this January we are expecting our third bundle of joy, and I'm trying to wrap my head around how to travel with all of them. I will have a newborn, 2 year old, and 4 year old. Do I need to buy a stroller that seats two and then my (then) 4 year old can go on one a "glider board?" Or, have you found that just a double stroller works? </p> <p>I ask because I currently have a Britax B-ready, and I can't put a glider board on this stroller if I'm using the extra toddler seat. So, do I need to invest in a City Select? </p>
