Need some good recommendations on Sit-n-Stand options

DD will be 3.5 when baby #2 arrives and all I can think about is what I'm going to do for a stroller. I have an Uppa Vista but the Rumble Seat is not a good option at all. I've been researching like crazy all of the different Sit-n-Stands and it seems like they all have mixed reviews and there are only so many in-store to actually look at. I plan on using my Uppa most of the time bc DD is pretty good about walking on her own, but I'm a pretty active mommy and there will def be times when we I need a place for her to sit down a bit. I hate to spend a lot of money on a whole new stroller when I'm not sure how much longer my older one will actually need it.

I'm looking for a sit-n-stand option that is:

1. not too bulky - I'd like to leave it in my trunk regularly for whenever I may need it.

2. easy enough to fold and unfold.

3. Compatible with a Chicco infant seat

4. I need my DD to be able to sit comfortably in one of the seats while the infant seat is in place (this seems to be the biggest problem among the strollers I've looked at)

5. Decent basket storage with good access to the basket


Opinions and recommendations are VERY much appreciated

I got the Graco Room For 2 Stand and Ride Classic Connect Stroller and I love it.

It's VERY easy to close, it's smaller and takes up less room than my regular 1 person stroller, and the kids love it. My DS is 13 months and my DD is 5. I don't know how it is with an infant seat since I never used one with it but overall it's been a great Sit N Stand, it does the job. And it was very affordable.

I just looked at these at buy buy baby yesterday....I got the joovy caboose ultralight too because my kids will only be 18 months apart and this offered an actual second seat.....but I really liked the joovy caboose varylight, I would have gotten this if my dd was a bit older...it was compact but could extend to give the caboose seat more room...it was very pricy though and didn't come with any extras like the parent console or the car seat adaptor

I have a Baby Trend. It does the job. It definitely comes in handy to have the option for the older dc. It isn't much bigger than a regular stroller. If I'm bringing a stroller out, this is the one I'd take.

I have the one where the car seat goes in front. It's considered the LX. I actually bought it off of someone on Craigslist for like $30. It was my first Craigslist purchase.

Lol. I too was in BBB in Huntington checking these ones out. The only ones they had in store were the basic caboose ($149) which the guy said can't really be used as a seat for older child when infant seat is in place. And the caboose too which is really too much for what I need. I'm wondering if the ultra light ($259) allows for that and is available to see in another location.

I have the regular caboose and absolutely used it for two with the infant seat. It's not as roomy as when you're using both upright, but the bbb guy is absolutely wrong. I used it a zillion times like that with a baby and two year old.

I have the Once Step Ahead one and I loved it although we didn't use it much! I am selling it and it's in good used condition if you're interested, I can message you pictures! I have the car seat adapter and the extra seat in case you want to make it a double!
