what happens when baby#2 comes? DS will be 2 when she's born (he's 20 months now). I can't imagine not strolling a lot with a newborn & would love to get a double stroller. But I'm afraid he'll be resisting even in 5 or 6 months from now. Does anyone have experience with this? Advice? TIA
I just let DS walk. If he tried to bolt, I would put him in the stroller, but I don't think a mobile 2 year old needs to be in a stroller every time you are out. Even now DD likes to walk in the grocery store or Target.
I use my double all the time, probably more than when I just had 1 because I need atleast one of them to be contained, and both if I want to get anything done. I highly recommend a Leap Pad. We got DD one for her 2nd birthday, I didn't think she'd get anything out of it other than enjoying pushing the buttons. I planned on using it to keep her in the stroller because at the time she also wasn't into the stroller. I only give it to her in the stroller so it's a special treat and they have a ton of shows you can download so she loves sitting there watching her shows, she is also able to play a few of the games.

yep. Ds hasn't been in a stroller since he was 14 or 15 months old. He just walks and I wear dd.

I'm talking about going out for a stroll in the 'hood, not for shopping. I know some 3 & 4 year olds that like it, so I'm wondering if there's a period in general when they get back into it.
