Hellobee Boards

Yes. They are 19 months apart and it was a lifesaver in the early days. Only way I could easily go places alone. Now, I don't use it as much because my 32 month old likes to walk.

I found it really cumbersome to baby wear in public places while trying to deal with an active toddler.

I have one and use it all the time. My boys are 20 months apart. DS2 is walking more now when we go out, but it's still great in case he falls asleep or for places I don't think he'll be able to walk all day. We also didn't really baby wear. My boys didn't like it and they are too heavy.

I'm due with #2 at the end of March and at this stage we're not planning on getting a double stroller (age gap of 2.5 years). Miss A doesn't really use the stroller now apart from big days out or walking our dog and I'm hoping to be able to wear the new baby (or Miss A). We are considering a buggy board and I wouldn't mind an all terrain double for dog walking but only at the right price.

We have one and use it occasionally (LO1 is 2, LO2 is 7 months)...we could have lived without it but we really do enjoy using it on walks, at the zoo, trips, etc. Plus, the one we bought has great resale value or we might have a 3rd baby and will still use it then

It's a must for us-- they are 22 months apart and C changes her mind mid-walk all the time whether she wants to walk/run/jump or is tired and wants to be pushed.

My mom also takes them for 2-3 hour outings in our neighborhood to the local park, or just walking around, and there's no way C could be on her feet that whole time.

We also live in the 'burbs, and we use the stroller at home around our neighborhood, and also for outings.

Definitely not a necessity. My kids are 22 months apart; they're currently 2.5 yrs and 8 months. We live in a cold, urban area, but I still find I can get by using a stroller and carrier, or stroller and buggy board. I just always make sure I have my Ergo under the stroller if my older one is riding the board or walking, so that in the case of a total meltdown I can switch her to the stroller and carry her little sister.

I'm sure there are some times I double stroller would be useful, but definitely not necessary. I'm personally glad I don't have to store one/navigate it into crowded grocery store aisles and small shops. We DO have two strollers (okay, three), so in the case of an all day zoo trip or something with more than one grown up, we'd have the option of strolling both girls if need be.

We don't use as much as I though we would. I use the hell out of my frame stroller that I can easily toss in the trunk and then wear my DD. But, I do a LOT of baby wearing!

My two kids are 28 months apart, but my older daughter was a walker. She didn't walk early, but she could walk and walk and walk. By the time she was 18 months old she could easily walk the kilometre home from her daycare at the end of a long day there! So I used to tell people that it would likely be a waste of money. At 2.75 years old that gal hiked a 6 km trail through the woods without a complaint!

But then my younger kid came along and showed me what a child not interested in walking is like. And had she been my older one, I wouldn't have lasted a day with two kids and a single stroller!

I guess all I am saying is that it depends on the kids, how far you are going, and what they are willing to entertain!

I'm wondering the same thing! Mine will be 2.5 years apart too. I'm hoping to baby wear baby 2 in the beginning but who knows if that's gonna work out. I'm just going to wait and see.
