Help finding a new stroller

[GoofyG]

Ok, I will be going in February with a 1 1/2 yr old and a 3 1/2 yr old. We always took the Combi twin, but now the 3 1/2 yr old walks all the time. She didn't use the stroller at all in Septmeber. I'm wanting to get a new stroller, but will be having another baby in May. I was looking at the Maclaren Techno XLR , or the Phil and Ted e3. What do you all recomend? It will be for every day use too. I just don't know how big the fold is on the Phil and Ted. Help!

I have the P&T. I love it. It has a nice fold to it, not too big but it is heavy. I'm trying to decide if I should bring the P&T for this trip or not. I'm leaning towards bringing my Quinny Zapp & Peg P3 b/c of the toddler step. It really is a tough decision to make. I probably haven't helped at all!

perfect for your upcoming trip, and you WILL get use out of it later. They are cheap ($120 walmart), but very durable. Your 1.5 yr old will be 2 when baby arrives and will still be able to use your other twin stroller---BUT by the time new baby is 1, the 3 yr old will want to walk, as well--thus, you will get a good year+ use out of the sit and stand again when going to parks, WDW, malls, etc.

Is sit and stand the model name? Do you know the brand?

Thanks.

they make a single and double--I would get the single--unless you have twins and an older child--in which case--it's pretty cool! You can also get it with an infant carrier that pops in--it is great for the older toddler--preK kid who gets tired of walking at mall, etc. but is too big (or too cool) for stroller---it is also GREAT for getting the PreK kid safely across a parking lot when having to push baby in stroller! And of course, even a 4-5 yr old gets tired walking at WDW!

I don't really want a sit and stand. That is why I was looking at the the maclaren or the Phil and Ted. My 3 yr old didn't use the stroller at all in September.

Take a look at www.strollerqueen.com
She is amazing and there is a strollerswap group on yahoo that can answer any question and illustrate the answers with pictures. They are awesome. Lots of experts on Macs and the phil and teds.

Our Macleran will be going on our third WDW trip in January. We love it. It rides so smoothly, and we have a large weight difference in the two boys. Whatever you get, make sure it has a wheel in the center to stabalize it. It kind of gets in the way walking, but creates a much more sturdy ride. We laugh that by the time we get the bag packed and attached, its like the cadillac of strollers!
