Hello!
Are you flying with your kids? I know when we flew with our then almost 3 yr old and almost 7 mos old, we travelled with two strollers. We still had our youngest dd in her infant carrier and used the whole system. She had her own seat on the plane and we just put her car seat in with the seat belt on the plane. I did have my parents travelling with us though, so we had four sets of adult hands to push strollers. I found I needed one to get through the airport for our oldest or she would have been all over the place.
This year we travelled with a 19 mos old and a 4 yr old. We just took one stroller for the youngest as well as toted along her car seat for the plane. She needed the stroller to keep her in one place as she is a bundle of energy!! Our older dd was ok to walk this time and we rented her a regular stroller at WDW as she didn't need the recline to sleep.
We did look at a Sit and Stand at Sears before we left as it was on sale and I had a good coupon I could have used. It was by Swan, but is pretty much the same as the one you see on the ABBf website. I took my oldest dd down to see it and I
thought it would be perfect, but I really didn't like it. (1)... it was not comfortable for my dd to sit on. Just a bench and a tight fit to slide under the handle to sit down. No sun protection for her at all. (2) I asked how it folded down and it was a nightmare!!! The lady couldn't even demonstrate it to me. It took two of us as you had to pull and lift a latch at the same time, which if I was by myself I would have no way to do that! If we had to use the tram from the parking lot it would have been a nightmare to try and fold down for that too ... and (3) The front seat doesn't recline very far. Just enough to be leaning back, but not far enough in my opinion. So therefore, we didn't buy it!
So I'm not sure what is best as I dont' know how you are travelling, plus it depends on how big your oldest is and is she a later 3 yr old or a new 3 yr old (does that make sense??).
On a side note, I rented from ABBF when we went last year. This year I didn't need to as we stayed in a rental home. Anyways ... I rented a bouncy seat, exersaucer and a bed rail. They were wonderful. They were spotless and wrapped in plastic. They were delivered to our customer service area of OLCC and we just picked them up. The exersaucer was a lifesaver for our youngest. They are very nice to deal with as well. I will use them again when we visit in March of next year as we will need a bed rail for the youngest dd. I've never seen the other rental places, so I suppose I am biased!!
Good luck!! I remember how much I stressed on our trips before hand about what to take and not to take ... I'm too obsessive about these things!!
