Hi guys-
This board is always full of such stroller experts, so I thought I'd get your advice. We are going down in October with our 2 DDs who will be 2 (27 mos) and 6 months. We own 3 strollers and I want your advice on if we can make do with these or if you have advice for a new purchase. This is our first trip with 2 in tow, so I'm not sure what's best.
1- Combi Convenience Stroller- We used this stroller for DD1 in past trips when she was 9 mos and 16 mos. Its lightweight, has a sunshade and a nice basket. I think it would work well for the baby.
2- Kolkraft Umbrella- This is just a cheap umbrella we use for our older DD now. It has a sunshade, but no baskets. Our biggest complaint is that DH and I are both tall and the handles are not tall enough so we have to slump over. I'm worried about our backs after a week at WDW.
3- Graco Side-by-Side- I bought this recently at a tag sale for $10, but we haven't tried it out with the new baby yet. It has full reclining seats and sun-shades and folds pretty easily. My big concern is how wide it is, both when folded and when in use.
I think we prefer to have two separate strollers while in the parks, but I dread dealing with the two kids and two strollers on the buses (we're staying at CR, so it won't be as bad as it could.) We only use a stroller a couple of times a month, so I hate to invest alot of money in something new, but I'm not sure if I can get by with what we've got. I'd love your advice.
Thanks
