Moms who decide to have two children with a small age difference can safely be considered heroines. While the eldest is still a toddler and loves to be in her mother’s arms for a long time, and rides in a stroller along the street, a newborn appears in the family. It is clear that this causes a lot of difficulties. For example, to go out with two crumbs into the street without outside help is almost impossible. Yes, and walking with children, one of which is constantly asking for arms, and the second is in the cradle, is problematic alone.
If the age difference between your children is less than 2 years old, then think about buying a stroller for the weather. Of course, this will not be the cheapest purchase, but you will be able to evaluate its advantages already during the first walk. The choice of such a stroller must be approached with all responsibility, because in it you will have to carry two babies for at least 6 months.
Manufacturers currently offer several options. If you made a choice even before childbirth and want to use the stroller for the weather right after the second baby appears, then pay attention to those options in which the cradle and the seat for the older child are combined. There are several ways to place children's places.
The first option: two places nearby in a wide children's vehicle. On the one hand there is a cradle for a newborn, on the other - a seat. Baby strollers for weather can be equipped with one common or two individual hoods. The latter, of course, is preferable: if the baby is carried, protecting the convertible top from the sun or wind, then the older child is unlikely to want to sit under the "roof". In addition, places for children are slightly offset relative to each other, and your first-born will not wake the youngest with his conversations. Unauthorized attempts to throw a toy in the cradle to the baby or share delicious cookies with him will also be unsuccessful.
The second option: the cradle and the seat for the first child are completely separate. They are not nearby, but follow each other. If you have an active and noisy first-born - this will be the best way out.
Having bought such a stroller for the weather, you will be calm: the newborn will be turned to you, and the first-born, although he will sit with his back to you, but he will have a great view. In addition, unwanted contact between children in such a stroller will be simply impossible.
Six months later, when the second child begins to sit, many again begin to look for a stroller for the weather. For two seated children, the choice is wider. Mom can choose a lighter, more compact and convenient option to manage. Some manufacturers suggest placing the kids next to each other, against each other, with a train or even one under the other. Parents can choose based on their preferences and financial capabilities. It should be noted that strollers in which the youngest child is actually under the older one should not be used by residents of large cities. After all, a child whose seat is below, will have to constantly breathe dust and exhaust fumes.
Of course, the main disadvantage of any of the options described is the overall size. Do not fit weather strollers! User reviews indicate that without the help of a mother with two children it is very difficult to leave the entrance of a multi-storey building. Residents of private homes in this regard were much more fortunate: they are not so limited in movement.
