double stroller or sit & stand?

Hi, looking at my options and would love any advice or recommendations!  I have a toddler who will just be turning 3 when my second baby is born.  I have a Moby and a Beco carrier that I can use for a while with the baby since it will be fall/winter and we probably won't be going out much until spring.  At that point my toddler will be about 3 1/2 years old.  We have a Chicco Keyfit 30 infant car seat so would like have the option to attach that (with an adapter if needed).  Trying to figure out if we should go with a full double stroller with 2 seats or a sit & stand stroller.  I am liking the Joovy Sit & Stands.  TIA!!

    We just got a sit and stand from Joovy and I love it.

    The Joovy would be great for you.  Have you seen the Joovy Ergo Caboose?  The infant seat goes in the back and is slightly higher up.  Plus it has air filled back tires.

    The Sit N Stand type stroller is great for an older child unless that child will want to lean back and rest.  

    I think the deciding factor is whether your almost 3 year old will want to take a nap in the stroller. For us, a Sit n Stand wouldn't work well because my toddler still wears out in the stroller and wants to lie down for a nap. My older child would get very upset rear facing on a bench seat if she's tired and wants to rest. I needed the option of two seats so both kids could recline and nap.

    That is what I am worried about!  Currently when we go out it isn't more than a few hours and usually not over our usual nap time so haven't had him nap in any of our strollers for quite a while.  That is good to keep in mind though.  I like the Joovy since it seemed to have a smaller footprint and isn't as big and bulky as a full two seat double stroller.

    we have a baby trend stroller from target that works with two car seats, changes to two seats, but can also be a sit and stand if you change the back seat out. we just use it as a snap and go stroller so far though.
