Second time mamas?

Question

Hi! I’m currently 17 weeks and going to be a second time mom. I have all the basic things but wondering if anyone has must haves that they will for sure be using with second baby? We just ordered the doona and a new double stroller because we originally bought the bugaboo fox with my first. I don’t know what baby carrier to get this time around. Any suggestions would be great!

Answer

Baby carrier as in like a wrap?? If so, hands down, Ring Sling. I LOVED the ease of mine. Once you get the hang of it, it’s so easy to get baby in and go. I’ll be using it often this time around as well!

Answer

Following. I’m also pregnant with my second and looking for suggestions on double strollers and anything else that makes it easier with a toddler and a newborn.

Answer

I bought the Bugaboo Donkey 3 when I was pregnant with my first (he's almost 13 months). I figured I'd just spend the money now since we were going to have two at some point. Well... Woops! Got pregnant with number 2 way sooner than we expected to haha. They will be 18 months apart so thank God I decided to just splurge right away. 
We use the Cybex Cloud Q car seat and bought the stroller adapter. It's perfect timing on car seats. By the time #2 is born, our first will be ready for a front facing seat. 
We used the Cybex carrier and the boba wrap. My husband favored the Cybex but I preferred the Boba. It was just easier for me to use when I was alone and didn't have help with the other carrier.

Answer

I have owned every type of baby carrier, and by far my ring sling is my favorite. It is so fast/easy on and off and it folds up really small in the diaper bag.
Other than that, I don't feel like I needed much else in the way of gear.

Answer

Pregnant with #3 here. My lifesaver when our second was born was our baby carrier. We had a hiking baby bjorn and Moo was so unsettled with tummy issues for the first three months she was basically strapped to my chest all the time so I could still parent the older child. It was the only way she would sleep.

Answer

I use my moby wrap, but have a Tula and I want to get the Tula explore. I have a 2 year old and an almost 11 month old and they’d like to be able to face out if I carry them. 
We also did a wagon instead of a stroller. I have a 3 year old stepson so with baby 4 coming we got a wonderfold luxe quad wagon. So worth it! 
Definitely recommend Tula brand carriers though!

Answer

Totally following I’m curious of what brand double stroller you purchased if you don’t mind me asking.
