How often did you use your double stroller, if you had one? I don't want to buy one and then never use it. baby #2 due in May & FWIW I'm a SAHM in the burbs, DD#1 is average size.
My kids are 19 months apart. I used mine daily in the summer for walks & on weekends now when we go out. I don't use it for small trips anymore as my oldest is 3 and likes to walk like a big boy.
I live in the burbs..it depends on your activity level. I work though, so we don't do daytime activities.

thank you! I think I definitely need one. I thought about wearing the baby when I'm out, but you're right, you can't always do that. Since I have the Britax car seat, i'm going to look for a Britax B Agile on Craigslist. Thanks!
Mine are 21 months apart. Our double stroller NEVER gets used. When we take it, more often than not, the older kiddo wants to walk, the baby wants to be in the Ergo, and one of us is pushing an empty $500 double stroller. In 8 mos, both kids have ridden in the double stroller maybe twice. But I'm a working mom, so that may not hold true for you. When I'm out with both kids, I'm normally w DH.
We have a double Bob and use it all of the time. DS1 is 3.5 now, so he's going to be kicked out for the new baby. It's great since it glides, even over non-paved terrian.
