Tim and I are choosing to space our kids out a little bit. It is likely that by the time we have another baby, Darah will be too big to sit in a stroller. So we should be able to make do with just one stroller for both kids.
But that’s not the path that everyone takes! I know people who have children 13 months – 2 years apart from each other. And of course, I know lots of folks with twins!
If you are one of these folks, I’d love to hear about what you choose for strollers with double the fun. Did you decide that you wanted a double stroller of some sort and then did your homework to find t
he best one for your budget? Or did you try to make do with one stroller or 2 single strollers and then gave up in frustration?
Has anyone out there tried tandem strollers? At least in theory, these seem like a really good option. I like that they are pretty much as narrow as a single stroller. That would make getting in and out of doorways a bit easier. Or does it? I’m realizing now that the adult pushing the stroller is now further away from the door handle!
I also really like the sleek design of jogging strollers, and their functionality for going off-road. This Schwinn Turismo swivel double jogger looks pretty darn sweet! We’d love to get a jogging stroller of some sort for the next kid, as we found that we wanted to use the stroller the most when we were out on long walks. And that’s pretty much the worst place to take a conventional stroller.
We used a carrier for Darah much more when she was little, and now we use a really cheap umbrella stroller, just because it is so easy to travel with. Isn’t that sort of ironic that the more expensive stroller gets used so much less? There’s definitely something to be said for a stroller being as lightweight as possible. Is that something you have to forgo altogether, though, if you want a double stroller? Or can it be found, but only for a really steep price?
What are you using for a stroller, whether you are pushing one or more! 🙂
