2 year age difference: stroller options?

what did/would you do with a 2 year old older sibling? my children will be just about exactly 2 years apart. sit and stand? double stroller? seems like DD still belongs in a stroller so i would lean towards a double, except that i think she'll outgrow it relatively quickly so i'd only get a few months of use out of it. i could maybe look for a used/cheap one. or is a sit and stand worthwhile? any recommendations for those?

Re: 2 year age difference: stroller options?

  • My kids are 22 mos apart and I probably should have just gotten a sit n stand.  I didn't get a SBS double until #2 was 6 mos old and way over spent on what I got (should have just gotten the cheapy Jeep one).  I just used the single and put DD in a sling/bjorn before that b/c that's where she was happiest.  DD and DS fought terribly in the SBS, so we got a sit n stand a few months later and love it.  I do like to take lots of walks with the kids, though, so I still like my SBS for that.  Just wish I hadn't bought such an expensive one. 

  • My kids are 2.5 years apart and we LOVE the Phil & Teds sport.

  • My kids are 28 months apart and we have the Graco Quattro double. ?DD1 loves it - she sits in the front and can climb in and out by herself, so whenever we take it, if she gets tired of sitting in it she just gets out, and then when she's tired of walking she gets back in. ?It's been great.
  • Mine are 23 months apart, and we got the Baby Trend sit 'n stand that starts off as a traditional double stroller. ?The back seat comes out, and it turns into a sit 'n stand. ?The only issue we had was that my older son is tall and didn't have enough leg room in that back seat. ?We ended up taking it out before he turned 2, and he did fine with the sit 'n stand. ?I'm glad we got that one, though, because my 3rd baby will be born when my 2nd is only 18 months. ?We'll be able to use it as a regular double for a while before he can stand in the back.

  • My Maclaren twin techno has been sitting in the garage for 3 months now.  Anthony loves the Joovy ultralight.  I strap him in the jumpseat now (there is a strap to do so) so he does not stand yet, but loves sitting there.
