If your husband is walking every day with both kiddos I would for sure get one. Idk is this would work, but it folds pretty small for a double stroller.

I had this. It was great but it’s not the best push for a kid over thirty pounds. Also you need to hands

I am leaning towards buying a double stroller...while on a morning walk this morning I was thinking I would want then both comfortable strapped in...
If my older once was a little older closer to 3 then id probably do without but a young 2 year old is different
Thank you all for your input!

Start off without. If a buggy board absolutely isn’t working you’ll get a double then. Btw I highly recommend the buggy boards that come with a seat and buckle. Especially for that age.

Toddler is seated and strapped. The only downside is that its pretty big (length) and might make it more difficult to push.

This looks like a newer version (I bought mine 4 years ago). It goes to the side instead of trailing right behind between you and the carriage.

Depends on the age gap. 3.5+ I’d say no. My 2 year olds were never fast enough walkers to not need a stroller though. And my babies are short with short legs, even though I’m 5’7”.

I recommended to someone to get their original stroller a single to double that can have a seat added. Meaning a bugaboo donkey, silver cross wave, uppa baby vista. One stroller, not so much fuss.

I’m debating this now - oldest will be almost 4 when baby is born iyh. We use strollers a lot now - for speed and containment, and occasionally she’s just tired and wants to ride.

For people saying it’s doable without - what do you do for Shabbos meals during or after nap/bedtime? Does your older still reliably walk?

I have a cheap stroller, just for those times. Mt husband and I usually walk together anyways. So after the meal if older child needs to nap or simply wants to be in the carriage, we have the stroller.

There’s that click connect which is two singles that click together. Or this Zoe twin which I bought to go to Orlando with my 1 and (tall) 4 year old. Got an uncommon color and it was super cheap.
