Double Stroller Advise for an Older Child

Hi D.,

I have a 3 year old and a 2 month old. For those occasions where I've needed a double stroller, I've been using a Joovy stroller where my 3 year old can sit on a bench facing me while my infant is in the front (in his car seat which can be buckled into the stroller). My 3 yr old usually objects to the stroller at first but seems OK once he's situated.

I hope this helps!

I have a Zooper side by side that I bought off of amazon.com I love it and did alot of research and read reviews on every brand before I decided on this one. I have been happy with it. I have a 27month old and a 6month old. I can recline the baby and my toddler likes to sit upright. Her feet have plenty of room without touching the foot rest at all. I will be able to use this for a long time. I looked into the cheaper brands and more expensive, this was the best according to other peoples reviews. Amazon had the best price and free shipping. Let me know if you want the specifics on it.

i have a sit and stand stroller which is designed for a baby and older child. I love it. I got it at Target but I know they sell the same thing at other stores. Check it out you won't be disappointed.

YES! I know exactly where you can find one! Your Turn Kids at 6175 Hickory Flat Hwy (Publix shopping center at East Cherokee and Hwy 140). Prices are the BEST I've ever found on Children's clothing and furniture!

Good Luck!

Hi! I have twins and we use two different strollers. The Maclaren twin saavy is great, fits through all kinds of doors, is side by side, but it is a little shallow. However, it reclines to many different positions. You might want to try it out in the store first. We got ours from Baby Bloomers in Towne Center near the Palmetto Grande in Mount Pleasant. The other stroller is a jogger and it is very deep. My twins are still young (14 months) but their feet are way far away from the separate foot rests. It is a Dreamer Design Ditto Lite. We got ours on Ebay. Not sure how great it is going through doors, but is very smooth on pavement! Hope this helps!

I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 1 year old. When the baby was smaller, I happened upon a wonderful invention called the Sit N Stand. It has the normal stroller in the front (which has adaptations for infant carriers) and a bench and footrest behind so the bigger kid can either sit on the "jumpseat" facing whoever is pushing, or stand and face front. My daughter loves it because she feels a little more grown up not being strapped into a traditional stroller. I have talked to a couple of people who "can't keep the big kid in" the back, but we just don't let her out! If she happens to get off, we put her back in (just like bedtime!) :) There are also a couple of different brands that are essentially the same thing. I got mine at Target for about $120.

I have a 3.5yr and a 1yr old. We use the Joovy stroller for about $150.00. My older daughter loves it because she can sit or stand in it. The younger one loves it as well. You can use any infant seat as well. The joovy uses a car type buckel to strap the seat in. It folds like a single big stroller. Me and my girls love it. I found my at Babies'r us in N. Charleston. Good luck

We have the Evenflo Take Me toodouble stroller. The front seat is smaller and the bag is big and roomy. Their is a step in the middle so the older child can get in and out easily. We have actually used this as a 3 kid stroller- I have 3 kids all 18 mths apart so it has been great. It is cheap, $90 tops and we've used it for 3 1/2 years. It has been abused. It is not perfect for a car seat but we managed. Some snaps popped and the bottom has just ripped b/c we put too much stuff in it. My girlfriend has a Bugaboo and loves it. It is interchangable - she walks a lot so it doubles as a jogger. It is pricey. I vote for the evenflo.
