2nd+ Timers: Double stroller?

BetchySprout · September 2010

Are you buying one?

I was thinking of getting the Baby Jogger City Micro. We don't use our stroller much as it is, and we can use the single + Ergo when baby is little.

Anyone have this/thinking about this one? I don't want to spend too much and I definitely DON'T want another stroller like our current one (Kolcraft Options Contour...nice stroller but I hate trying to fold and unfold it. The BJ City takes one step to fold).

I didn't know what to do. Maybe a sit and stand stroller?

I won't do a double stroller. DD will be over 4 years old and we RARELY ever use a stroller now as it is. I don't for see using one more 9 months from now.

I bought a Bob Duallie because I really need a way to get out with both kids and exercise. It's so roomy we've been using it with just our son over the past couple months and we pack all of his stuff on one side, and push him around in the other.

I figure that I'll be carrying the new baby in a sling much of the time so for the most part I plan to push Roscoe in our single stroller. But the duallie will be great for big outings (because it's not that portable and it's so BIG) and for exercise.

The Bobs are not cheap, but they are pretty amazing.

I have the BJ City Select and I love it. It's so easy to fold especially with twins. I think any Baby Joggers are good. The brand, itself, is reliable and easy to fold.

I'm getting the rumble seat attachment for my UppaBaby.

If we buy a stroller this is what I'm thinking we'll do. I think we'll probably use the moby and our maclaren volo for a long time though.

I wore DS in the moby for a really long time.

I will be getting the BJ City Mini Double- I have the single now and love the hell out of it! It was the best baby purchase the first time around and I'm sure I'll love it as much when there's two in there!

I'm wondering the exact same thing. We're on one income, and as much as I really want to get a gorgeous double stroller, it's probably not in the budget unless it comes from craigslist. I think I am going to try and wear the baby and continue to use our umbrella w/ my 2.5 year old--see how that goes.

If $ is a concern, maybe just wait until after baby is here and see what life is like? If you don't use your single stroller now, maybe you won't really use a double that much?

I've had my eye on the Joovy Ultralight Caboose for a while. Seems like the ideal solution for an almost 3 year old that likes to walk but tires out quickly, along with a baby in an infant carrier. I like that its small-ish & only weighs 21 lbs too.

Been tempted by the BOB Revolution Duallie because we have the single version for DD that I absolutely adore, but for the amount of time we have left in DD's stroller riding career, the Duallie doesn't seem practical.

I played with a BJ City Select today. OMG, Love. I like that it can be a single or a double. I can use it for 1 kid or both. I love it.

That's the same one we're probably going to get. Initially I wanted the Kolcraft Contours double. I loved that the seats could be turned different directions but it was a beast to maneuver. I apparently do not like tandems. They feel really odd to me. It also required an exact position to fold w/ seats on or the removal of the seats. That is just not an option. We go to WDW a few times a year and that would not fly on the buses.

We test drove the Baby Jogger Micro and loved it. It handles so well, is so small and easy to fold. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't come w/ the trays. I feel like for the price we're going to end up spending to buy all the extra trays, the lap bar the trays attach to, etc. that we might as well just buy the mini in the first place.

I bought the travel system before my son was born and it turned out to be a huge waste of money. I think I am going to wear the baby (in the Ergo) and/or use the Snap-n-Go until this one can go in an umbrella stroller. Then I'll decide...they all seem like beasts.

We have a few strollers, our double is a Kolcraft Contours also. We are taking the plunge and going with the City Select by Baby Jogger and all it's accessories. Husband looked at me and said, I guess if we are going with this stroller, we are going to definitely have at least one more! Our other two kiddos are older. : )

I found a sit n stand on craigslist for $35 when we went to go check it out it turned out that DH knew the family. It was basically new since this was the extra stroller at the grandparent's house so I scooped it up right away.

I do think that I will end up looking for a double jogger though - I really like mine and I'll want to use it when I have two to push around.

DD is going to be almost 3 when this baby arrives (if all goes well of course). I don't think we'll need a double stroller.

I think we're going to get a sit and stand snap and go for every day stuff, and i might casually see if "nana and pop pop" wanna get a bob double stroller for the park/boardwalk/walks/ect...
