So, today I watched Malea. The weather wasn't freezing so we went to the park for a picnic. I only have a single stroller but in June, I'ma gonna needa double.
We set off on our way to the park. Malea riding and Kam helping push...for about 1 minute then he was done. I carried him a little, held his hand a little, and pulled my hair out a little.
One the way home, Kamden rode while I carried Malea. She ain't no feather either. When we got home, we ALL took a nap.
I've used a few double strollers and they are awful! It's like steering a bus that doesn't want to be steered! Pulling a cow that doesn't want to be pulled. Making a kid eat that doesn't want to eat. Yeah, it's hard. I know that my stroller mate is out there somewhere. I just need a little help finding it.
Give me your recommendations....PLEASE!

I agree, I hear the Bugaboo is amazing...I use one with Jack and Leila and I like it, but I wish we would have gone with a jogging double stroller instead of the Graco one. The Graco is fine, but the jogging strollers have an easier ride.
Wagon!
i just bought a graco quattro tour duo. I have yet to go use it, but i'm pretty excited about it. I tired it at babies r us and it was the only one there that I liked. I bought it at albeebaby.com They had a bunch of different styles, and have free shipping on orders over $100.
Ok - I like my Graco one even though it can be hard to manuever, just don't buy a Costco one they are SO heavy. But I would have LOVED to see you pushing and carrying kids with a prego belly. I bet people who saw you where thinking "Poor Mormon girl that has kids every 9 months"!!!! :) And to hear the mumbling under your breath would have been priceless--"Just walk Kam!!!" :)
You can have my old one :) I know you love it
That is so funny. I can totally picture what Robyn described. Sorry, I don't have any suggestions.
We enjoyed our side by side...I'll have to see what brand it is, but it is pretty old now considering my twins are 5. The front to back one we had was terrible. I'm sure they aren't all like that though. A friend of mine with two little ones did a blog post a few months back all about the one she bought and loves. She bought it at Target.com and it is a Combi for $199. It looks darling and She listed all the reasons why it was so good.
I really like my Sit and Stand Stroller by Baby Trend. It's really affordable and I have actually gotten all 3 of my kids on it. It's really easy to push and not so long and heavy. You can also attach any brand of infant car seat to it. Check it out here: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3096361&CAWELAID=212802792
Ok, so that link didn't work. Just google "sit and stand stroller" and it will pull up a few sites. I bought mine at ShopKo, but they also have them at Target and Toys or Babies R Us. Good luck!
Sorry for all my comments! My first double stroller was a Graco side by side and I really liked it. It was wider and couldn't maneuver through some skinny aisles at the mall stores but it worked great for me and it ended up saving me lots of money because I just wouldn't go in the store!! J/K. They kids never fought over who got to sit in the front...because they both had great seats!
