I still can't decide on a double stroller! Help!
Here's the scenario: dd1 is 3, and dd2 is a newborn. Dd1 is tiny and has some gross motor delays so she's a slow walker and can't really walk distances. Plus, she cowers in crowds. She is also generally resistant to being in the stroller (i.e. When we are in stores).
We decided NOT to get a double stroller.
But now after a few attempts at longer walks, dd1 can't keep up, and has been asking for a stroller.
I don't think a sit and stand is an option. Her legs will also get tired "standing."
Do I 1) just muddle through without the double? - cost not worth it for the amount of time we would be using it 2) get the b-agile double where my infant seat can pop right in ($350) 3) get the uppababy g-link knowing I love the g-lux, and I can lay the infant flat ($450) 4) any other ideas for inexpensive lightweight side by side that can accommodate an infant?

I would get the B-Agile.
My younger son hated laying flat in the stroller until he was a bit older - he liked being in the infant seat a lot more.
And it's cheaper.

Re: I still can't decide on a double stroller! Help!
We got the City Mini Double and liked it. My DS was 2.5 last summer when DD was born and didn't like to sit in strollers. BUT, it was a treat to him to "get to sit next to his sister for walks." I used the stroller a good amount when I was on maternity leave to take both kids for a walk. I doubt I'll use it much now since DS is 3 and prefers to walk, but I would imagine using it for the zoo or something like that.
Also, I didn't bother with any attachment for the car seat. It goes so far flat that I just got one of those body support pillows and put DD right into the stroller as a newborn. Never had any problems with that. And by the end of the summer, when she had head and neck control, I didn't even bother with the pillow.

I know its expensive but I freaking LOVE my UppaBaby G-Luxe, so would imagine that the G-Link is great, too. Have you played around with it and tested it out in a store?

I love my b agile. Almost wish I had more occasion to use it! I think it would be well worth the investment.

She can sit on the bench on the sit and stand. It's not just sit in the front/stand in the back
