So here’s a big tip for all you first time mums :

Before you spend $400 on a new pram… Make sure you buy one with a toddler seat add-on, especially if you’re thinking of having a second kid within 2-3 years!

Sure enough, it was time to upgrade our (perfectly fine) one seater pram to something that would accommodate TWO kids.

I looked into tandem prams, twin prams and even ride-on boards (a little skateboard thing that attaches to the back of the pram for the bigger kid to stand on - yeah right). Well I wanted something small-ish, light-weight, 3 wheels, air-tyres (for jogging), sturdy blah blah. But yeah, those twins and tandems are HUGE! Not to mention that a good quality one will set you back $600. Gaah.

Anyway, still reeling from our lack of foresight into this matter (ie. spending $400 on a new one, only 2 years ago) I thought I’d investigate the price of a secondhand one.

And lo and behold, after 2 weeks of trawling through the newspapers, ebay, the quokka… I managed to score a 16-month, near new, $580, 3-wheel jogger with accessories for only $250! Woo hoo. *So proud*
