We are expecting our third child in 6 weeks. :cloud9: We have two others as well. DD 7 (doesn't need the stroller- just part of the story) and then DS 2 1/2 years. We need a stroller for the baby, but are debating on which kind to buy with our situation. DS doesn't like the stroller much now, but it is needed when we go shopping, to the zoo, WDW, etc. He does get tired. We would like for it to be compact for the back of the van and easy to manage.

Our options:
1) Double stroller (front, back) to where both little ones can lay down or sit. This one has the ability for the car seat carrier to fit onto the stroller.

2) The "Sit and Stand" stroller. Regular stroller in the front and a place for DS to sit or stand when I need to keep up with him in busy places.

3) Regular travel system for just the baby and use an umbrella stroller for DS.

What do you guys do with children around these ages? At this rate,...we will just be staying home more or sending one parent out at a time. :)
 
I don't know anything about strollers yet...but just wanted to say hi! We're kinda neighbors.....by about 50 miles...I'm in Sumter! HI!

It has so many configurations... that's the toddler/toddler mode show.. however it has an infant mode.. the top seat lays flat, the bottom seat connects to the front... it also can be configured to accept the infant car seats that are so popular..

it's simply the best thing since sliced bread :)

(yes it's expensive... about $1.10/day or $400 .. but worth EVERY penny)

My boys are 16months old.. and I plan to buy new fabric in January.. so it'll be like getting a new stroller :)

I don't even have kids and I think that is very cute. Get that one!
 

Hi Pooh Bear! Not too far away from us. And..congratulations...only 25 weeks to go for you. We are counting days at this point- hopefully she will come a bit earlier than my other two. Ha!

That is a neat stroller- we will have to check into that one. I am so undecisive right now on everything...PREGNANT BRAIN is so horrible!!
 
Ratpack - thanks, cant believe I am almost 1/2 way there....dont even really feel pregnant yet...except for some nausea now and again!

Good luck in your stroller search! Maybe you can find a gently used double stroller to use...if you know you wont be having more than the 3. That way you dont have to invest too much.
