Double stroller or sit n stand

jesscullen

My DD1 with be about 18 months old when DD2 is born.  We primarly use strollers to go to zoo, mall, and walk around neighborhood.  

I have looked at regular double strollers, the strollers that are a sit n stand and have a place for a yonger infant/child, and the ones that do both.

What do you guys recommend? One over the other?  I am pretty sure DD1 will be too little to be in a sit and stand...right?   When do they usually start in a sit and stand and want to walk by themselves?

 

Thanks guys!  This is overwhelming!

DD1 was just shy of 19 months when DD2 was born and we opted to go with a regular double. I wanted something comfortable for both girls when we did an all day trip like the zoo, so that if they got tired they could nap/rest in the stroller. We borrowed a sit and stand when DD1 was 15 months and I was babysitting a newborn and it was fine for short periods of time, but I prefer having a real seat for each of them.

I'm probably going to get a double sit n stand.  You can remove the back seat and have the bench.  I don't have confidence my DD will be ready to not use the seat.

My 2.5yo still sits in the zoo quite a bit especially if we go to the doctor's office or mall. At the zoo he walks mostly. We have a city select and a double bob. I use the ciety select for indoor stuff. I use the bob for running, the zoo and when we go to disney world. If I didn't run then I'd probably just stick with the city select. It's a great stroller and I love that it's a single or double especially now with #3 coming and both my boys go to school 3 days a week.

We used a double stroller.  The selling point for the double over a sit and stand, for me, is that you can strap them both in.  Even now, when they are two and three, I am glad we have a double stroller where we can keep them both contained.  Otherwise, there are days when I would have two toddlers running in opposite directions.
