Yet ANOTHER stroller question....sorry

[sjams]

I saw a baby Trend lite stroller at Toys R Us today. I was wondering if anyone has used this brand/kind before...
Also looking at the MacLaren Volo ones. Bidding on those on EBAY.
Any suggestions?

I think baby trend is the maker of the sit-n-stand stroller. we were happy with it somewhat. It seemed so bulky though and hard to steer. If we had two adults with us, for the most part we would rather push two so neither had to work so hard. If the child in the front couldnt sit up fully (too young, in infant seat, or reclined to nap) the other child cant sit on the back. Our kids are only 21 months apart, and my dd(older) is a wanderer so even though I was so excited to get this when my son was an infant,it didnt do me any good cause no way was my not even 2 child going to just stand there on the back. Then we used it for about a year and it became really hard to push and I got rid of it. I dont think I would have wanted to use it at disney unless I didnt have someone else to split strollers with...of course I couldnt even begin to imagine getting two small childeren and that thing on and off the busses.....would definitely have driven everywhere. I did like it for malls-nice flat evensurfaces, where I had my own car. I think others havehad better experiences with thisthan I....also My kids as the got older didnt fitwell in the front,so take that into consideration if your child riding in the front is very big.

I didn't give all the info did I? The one I am looking at is a single stroller, not the Sit 'N Stand. More like an umbrella one, but seemed much, much nicer.

We just got the volo about a month ago on babydealz.com and I got a 2004 model cheaper than I could get it on ebay (with s&h). I paid $68 (inclucing s&h). LOVE IT< LOVE IT<LOVE IT>. What more can I say- wish I could have had this years ago since my 3rd DD is 6 and will really only use it for Disney, but it pushes like a dream!!

We have a Volo and used it for the last trip to WDW. It worked great, love the fact that it has a carry strap b/c DH gets the kids on the bus and I take care of strollers, packages, etc. Pushes like a dream even when you have kids that are a little heavy (close to 37 and 50 lbs.)

I'd go for the Volo, you can find some great deals on the '04's right now.
