What should I do with my 3 Strollers???!!!! EDITED with PICS With Poll

I have 3 strollers that I absolutely love. But with surprise pg #2, Single strollers I am not sure will work all the time since DD and #2 will only be 14 months apart.

I have the Graco Stroller Frame


A Graco Quattro Tour Stroller that came with my travel system


And my Fav-Peg Perego Pliko P3


Totally I have $500 worth of strollers!

Since DD can go in carts at stores and such, when Dh is with me we can always push seperate things, but is that doable?

Should I sell one or more of them? Break down and get a double? Without the double, I will be stuck in the house, not even being able to take walks while DH is at work. I cannot push 2 strollers.

What do you think? Opinions?
Thank yoU!

aside from the pliko p3,im not sure what the other strollers are, but if I were you, Id keep one liteweight single stroller, and invest in a good double. You are going to definately need it. You can fit the carseat into the double. Personally I never needed 2 singles, and my kids are a year apart. If Im w/my DH,we take the double stroller.
Sell the others on ebay!

I think you are also going to need a double stroller. I would keep the graco tour since it is a travel system and you can always get a duoglider if you choose. My reason to this is that if you decide to take only one child out then when #2 is still really small then it dosent really matter which child it is because you can use the the single as a travel system again or take Gianna and she will still fit in it. I only have the PlikoP3 and the Peg carrier and used it as a travel system. We have no idea what we are going to do because I do not want to shell out $789 for the Duette and plus you need to takes the seats out and fold the frame each time you take it in and out of the car.

This is the double I have my eyes on.

It's so pricey, but it's the only one i saw so far I really really like, not in person yet though. Plus it's the lightest tandem i have seen so far at 24 lbs. This is the Peg Perego Tender XL




This is the reason why I am asking about my others, I don't want to spend a bunch of money on another stroller, when I already have, but at the same time, I don't want to get a flimsy less expensive stroller, then have it break in a year and have to buy another one either.

I would keep the Snap n Go for short walks & then if you're done having kids, sell it once #2 is out of the infant car seat.

You will definitely need a double stroller with a 14 month difference. It's invaluable. I had an old double stroller from a church sale that I used. It was heavy to push but usuable for the times I needed it. I needed it less because I rarely take both out unless it was a weekend & had someone else with me.

My friend has the double Combi which is lightweight and has lasted several years.

Would you consider a side by side? The reason I ask is that with them so close together, there will be lost of bickering over who sits in the front (thinking of my 3 year old).

eta. I also have a Sit & Stand but the back portion has a little bench that the older one could sit on. This would be a better/lighter option when they're older.

Mine are 16 months apart. I have a duoglider which with a toddler in the front and the infant seat in the back was next to impossible for me to maneuver for walks in our neighborhood. Curbs, broken sidewalk, etc. were really difficult to get over. My mom used to come over to take walks with me every night and we used the stroller frame and our metrolite. It was just so much easier.

I got a sit n stand when Sarah was 20 months and it's awesome, I love it. But I don't think she was ready before that.

Sorry, I know it's not much help.

i would definately invest in a GOOD double. you will be using it for a while.
The sit n stand will be good for you when your oldest is about 2-21/2--but not before that.
I cant suggest a good double bc ive been thru so many, and still havent found one that i love.
I agree w.the side by side tho, bc your kids will be so close in age,they may fight over who sits where like my kids do.
I was looking at the peg perego side by side-moms that have it that I know LOVE it, and it is narrow-er than other side by sides. The only thing is Im not sure you can fit a car seat in it....so you wont be able to use it till your youngest can sit up, for about 4 months.

I have so many single & double strollers that are collecting dust in my garage-including the peg pliko p3....that one is good, but just too heavy for me. If I wasnt so lazy I would ve sold them on ebay already-bc I NEVER use them!

If I were you, Id get rid of all of your strollers(sell them!) and get the baby trend single liteweight(i love this stroller)
and the double that fits the carseat!

Michele....

I am looking into the Peg Perego Aria Twin....it's a side by side that fits thru standard doorways. It weighs 14 lbs and has a 40 lb weight limit I believe.

5 pt harness, snack trays, and canopies. I do NOT think it's suitable from birth because I think it only has 2 position seats.

The Maclarens (Rally Twin and Twin Techno) are from birth, come with hoods & Raincovers and fully recline. They are both around 25 lbs. The twin Techno is hegit adjustable (which would be good for us since DH is so tall). BUT no snack trays....

The double frame stroller is awsome and cheep. I saw it and I would get it too (if I were in your shoes).

Re: What should I do with my 3 Strollers???!!!! EDITED with PICS With Poll

At 2 years old-Would DD want to walk all the time?

Joseph was 22 months when Maddie was born. At that age, you have them occasionally throwing themselves on the floor. It's easier to put the baby in the double stroller & strap in the tantrum kid for quick exits in stores.

It was a hit or miss depending on how tired he was. Sometimes he wanted to walk (or run ). Other times he would want to go in the stroller because SHE was in it.

Re: What should I do with my 3 Strollers???!!!! EDITED with PICS With Poll

OMG I am soo confused and cloudy on what to do. I think a double stroller is def in my future, when will be the question! Maybe i will just wait til #2 is 6 months old and I have more option on strollers since they won't have to recline flat.

This was so much easier the first time around!

The infant seat snaps right into the front. I LOVE my Sit n Stand. Now I'm stuck because when I have my baby in May my DS will be amonth shy of 4yrs., my DD will be 18 months old and now a newborn. I'm kind of in a situation like you. What do I do now? My DS likes to sit or stand in the Sit nStand when he's tired. To bad they don't make a double Sit n Stand!

Funny I have the first two also.. I have the graco one for the house when Brianna will sit in it( she will play in there for a bit) and the other one went in the attic and the last I have a Chicco is in my car where it stays!
I say keep them in the attic or something!
