You could get something like this. As Brody will be 2 1/2 I wouldn't spend too much as it won't be too long before he will be walking anyway.

If not this is a nice twin buggy but it is quite expensive.

I got a double stroller, side by side from ebay. It was listed as a double jogging stroller and there are loads of them. it wouldnt fit in the car (except dh's estate) and it was good for the occcasional long walk. It was only £110 including postage. The thing recently was that joe wont leave Jessica alone and it caused a bit of tension. Im selling it now.
If money wasnt an option I would have went fora Jane Powertwin stroller. It has the clip on car seat option.
Hope this helps,
Laura.

From my experience, Jessica wouldnt walk any distance and wouldnt entaertain a buggy board but in saying that she never went for a sleep in the double buggy. At 3 years old though she will walk and im thinking of the buggy board again. I got a litaf one at the time and she wouldnt go on it.

no, buy mine first, I will throw in a free lunch.
ill throw in lunch and a child! Would you not consider slinging the baby?? Seren will be 2 years and 2 months and I really don't want to buy a double buggy, just not a fan so whilst she is still of the age where she likes to go in the buggy at times I will have my sling on me so I can carry baby. When baby gets too old for carrying then I will get a buggy board as she will be old enough for that. Just an idea??

I had the coorie sling with Joe in it and pushed jess in the buggy, it was good for the first few weeks and even months then he got bigger but was kinda big to start with. Im not very big (tall) though,
I tried them all and spent a fortune, cant really say what was best.

Thats a great idea, I only ever tried an old fashioned carrier thing and it killed my back with Mason so I hardly used it.
The only other "problem" I had with slinging is eg for the school run, when I drive, I park close to the the school and just jump out, put Brody in the buggy (cos I have to cross the road and he runs off LOL) and dash to the school, get Mason and get straight back in the car. The only slings I've ever used are a right faff to put on and take off, I need something I can do in 1 minute. Is there anything thats that quick? Also, how long are they comfortable for? If I walk to school I can be out a good 30-40 mins, will my back be dead by then?
I do definitely intend to get a sling this time and use it as often as I can, but I can see certain situations where it wouldn't be the most practical option for me.

I had one of the carriers, a othercare one and I hated it. So fiddly to put on and take off and it was a nightmare. I can put the meitei on in a minute, takes me longer to pout Seren in the buggy, and a pouch cling would be the same. I'll lend you mine and you can practice (I'll lend you my newborn too
)

You can just pop the corrie on and then pop the baby in.
Whats the other one you are talkig about Beanie, would that be suitable for a hefty 1 year old boy

My meitei, this is me carrying Seren at 11 months and she was comfy to carry. I have had to stop carrying her now though as I have been having probs with my back and pelvis already grrrr
I look like poo but I don't have many pics of me carrying her so this will have to do

slinging a baby with a toddler is all said and done in theory. But in reality its not practical. You need full mobility when you have a toddler to chase after - to tie shoe laces, perhaps run after etc.
