2nd time moms did u get a dbl stroller?

Someone gave us there old graco dbl stroller but when I tried it yesterday the graco carseat I have doesn't fit. So I want something that I can take my 2 1/2 dd and newborn for walks now that it is so nice. My other option is to put my 2 year old in the stroller and baby in the bjorn. What are you doing or planning to do?

  • We don't have one (yet??).  So far either DD1 has walked with me/us or she is in the stroller while I wear DD2.  We've done this a handful of times and so far it's worked.  We haven't been in any crowded areas or for any LONG walks yet.  Soooo...we're still trying to decide if we want to spend the money on a dbl stroller.  If we do it will be some sort of sit-n-stand.

  • We didn't buy one yet, we're holding off and hoping we can avoid getting one.  When we've been to places like Target #1 sits in the seat part and #2 is in his infant seat in the basket part.  If we're going to go somewhere what I don't think #1 would want to walk the entire time (or if we want to keep him contained) we're planning on either taking 2 strollers or I'll wear #2 and let #1 ride in the stroller. 

    We already have 3 strollers, I just really don't want to have to buy another one!

  • Yes, I did. We went for a nice long walk yesterday and it was great. My DS is three, so he'll walk; but he gets easily tired during long trips to the zoo, mall, etc. Plus he really enjoys sitting net to DD and checking on her.

  • We got the Baby Jogger City Select and the extra seat kit. I got it on super sale from albeebaby.com a few months ago. I love it. It has different seat configurations and goes from a single to a double really easily.

  • We got the Baby Jogger City Mini Double and have used it a couple of times around the block. Our DD1 loves it and it is one of the lighter dbl strollers.

  • We did get a graco on for about $150, but our streets are too bump for us to use it on. Most I use it while out shopping. For walks normally I wear DD and DH wears DS in the ergo. If I were to go alone I would wear her and push DS in the BOB

  • Thanks everyone for your input. I think I'm going to try to wait it out for now.

  • We bought one when we had our second child.  We knew we wanted 4 kids though so it would get a lot of use.  I really love having it now with a 16 month old and a newborn.  It's a lifesaver.  :D
