i just started babysitting a 3 month old and we need to get out of the house once it warms up a bit. Any recommendations? and where did you buy yours? I have a 10 month old, not sure if the ages make a difference
i would buy something used on craigslist if i were you --- since YOU don't have 2 kids --- i personally wouldn't want to spend a ton on a stroller just for babysitting another child.
if you will use it for walks in the neighborhood - i'd get a stroller with large wheels (an all terrain stroller)... like the Bob, Indie Twin, Valco, City Classic... the City Mini is a great stroller- but smaller tires don't work as great over really bumpy sidewalks, grass, etc... but if you will use it in stores shopping, etc - then the mini is a great choice.
Another great stroller is the new City Select- which can be a single OR a double- it's not cheap and you won't find one used b/c it just came out - but it's a fabulous choice, esp if you think you'll have another child in the next couple years- because you can use it as a single or double depending on what you are doing that day.... The Phil & Teds is also great like this - i had one and loved it (i sold it b/c it's not good for twins).
Re: recommend your double stroller please
