Toddlers: 24 Months+

when do you use your double stroller ?

DS1 is 2 and DS2 is 10days old. I figure I have some time before venturing out and needing to cart both around so I've been researching double strollers. I'm curious though when people find the need for them the most. I don't want to spend 300 up and only use it once. Is it worth it? I'll be off work until August so I'll be home with the boys a lot.

Re: when do you use your double stroller ?

  • I bought a double jogging stroller at a consignment store. I can lay one side of it completely flat, so I use it for our daily walks with the dog. I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money at first, but now that I see both kids like it, I might upgrade

  • Zoo, mall, museums, walks around the neighborhood, local festivals... anywhere I might need to contain them both or where DD1 would get tired walking and might want to ride. Mine are only 19 months apart, so in the very early weeks I even used the double

  • I just stopped putting my double in the car all the time.  We use a glider board now for DS1.  We go to a lot of festivals, the zoo, museums, parks, walks, shopping.  It was my best investment.

  • You probably won't need it for awhile, if you plan to wear DS. But you'll use it a lot when they're 1 and 3. I used it more and more as DD got older; the mall, the zoo, to the park, etc. etc. I also have a double jogging stroller I run with. We use our do
  • My kids are 14 months apart and I used my double stroller every day.  It was my lifeline to get out of the house.  We have a city select and a bob dualie.  

    I did wear both kids (and still do back carry) - but strollers were helpfu

  • How do you like the Baby Trend Sit and Stand? How does your 2 yr old like it? Do they sit ok on it or just want to get up? Can they actually rest on it at all?

     

  • My baby isn't here yet, but I am anticipating to use it a lot. DS will be 3 when DD is born but he's a runner. He listens very well but if something gets his attention then it's all over! I bought a used double at a consignment sale Wednesday night and it

  • At this point I use my double for longer excursions or if I need to have them both contained and I don't feel like wearing one.

    You may want to get one used or consider a sit and stand style if you don't see yourself using one that often. I
  • I have a double jogger and a Joovy Caboose. We mostly use the double jogger for long walks with the dog. We take it on dirt paths and places like that. We use the other stroller at the zoo, the mall, and when we travel (airport). My 3 year old will ride o

  • I have a BJ City Select and use it a lot.  Wearing the newborn w/ a 2 1/2 year old just wasn't as convenient as i would've liked it to be.  I would just click the car seat on and put my 2 1/2 year old in it and do what I have to do. Shopping, gr

  • Whether or not a double is worth it is really going to depend on your lifestyle and the type of stroller you get.  When we lived in FL we used our sit and stand (can be converted to a double stroller or a jump seat and stroller seat) all the time.&nb

  • I have a double city mini and use it multiple times a week. LO3 has been in it 3 times in the 2 months she's been alive, but would be much more if I had invested in the car seat adapter... Just couldn't see spending the extra 100 dollars on something I wo

  • We got a double-Bob. I walk/run a lot and DH works on weekends. I wanted to be able to get out with both kids (DD is 2.5 and DS is 8 weeks). We bought the car seat adapter and I used it for the first time last week just walking and today we used it at
