Double stroller Dilemma

[sosayweall]

We are expecting 2 under 2(20 months apart) in April/May and I am looking at double strollers.

We currently have a Britax B Safe carseat and a single Bob stroller. My plan was to get a sit and stand for and possibly a double Bob if we find that we want one. I live in a suburban area and primarily use the stroller for walks and the park, but occasionally use it indoors. We do run and use the Bob for jogging but are not what I call avid runners. I am not 100% sure we will want to run with both kids.

I read that the B safe doesn't fit in the sit and stand though, so now I don't know what to do. I thought about the B Ready but I can't afford that and a double Bob. WWYD? Or do you have any sit and stand style suggestions that will accomodate a B safe?

Yay! We're in the same boat wrt spacing.

Our plan is to get a buggy board for our stroller. I love to baby wear, so if DS decides he needs in the stroller I am happy to swap the babies and wear DD.

We have our stroller from our travel system and an every-day little kid stroller. I'm not convinced we actually need a double... maybe if DS hates the buggy board and DD hates the wrap and I find I'm having to take them places on my own.

We only have 1 kid right now but plan to have a second close in age so we got the Baby Jogger City Select stroller. It's not a jogging stroller, but it is amazing! It rides so smooth, has a huge basket and is tall enough for me to push (I'm 6'). We use it as a single currently but have used it as a double with my nephew and it was even more awesome. I highly recommend it. I know sites like PishPoshBaby regularly has sales where if you buy the stroller with 1 seat, you get the 2nd set free. We actually got ours there last year on a great deal because they were coming out with a new model and we bought the older one.

We have the City Select and are very happy with it. Its not a jogger despite the company name "Baby jogger".

A double BOB is huge, if you are using it in stores you're probably going to hate it very quickly, it doesnt fit anywhere really. BUT, I see peope trying all the time.

FWIW I think most sit and stands are horrible. The push is awful, its the size of a bus open & folded.
