Strollers and ages 4.5, 2.5, 6 mos

NicoleWI

We use our sit 'n stand all the time now for DD (age 3) and DS (1.5). Next summer, new baby would be 6 mos, DS would be 2.5 and DD will be almost 4.5. 

What do you think we'd need for a stroller?? If we go for walks in our neighborhood, would DD walk or ride a bike or something? Right now, she can't ride a bike and couldn't keep up on a long walk. Or...for the zoo...that kind of thing. How do you do it with three kids, 2 years apart?

Hi -- lurker from school-aged.

Could you do a carrier like the ergo for the new baby and use the sit-n-stand stroller to buy a little more time for your eldest DD's legs to grow?  By the time she's close to 5, she'll be able to keep up quite well. 

You might be able to stretch your current stroller's lifespan this way.

We have a hitchhiker board on our double just in case DS1 does't want to sit, but can't keep up.  Would that be an option?

At that age, my youngest spent a lot of time in a carrier. For slow walks I had a double jogging stroller, and my oldest would ride his tricycle too ; ) and the two younger boys could be in the stroller. My 4 and a half yr old never spent any time in the stroller.. iff we used a single stoller I would just wear the baby.

My DD was pretty good at walking then but when she got tired I had the sling or something else for DS2 (the baby) to go into but it was rare that we needed.  We live far from the zoo & most big attractions.  

When we went to Disney this past year, we used a single and a double : )

But for around the neighborhood, she walked or rode her bike.   

@ Six Flags last year we just used a single stroller.
