We're not going to bother, but I'll only have 2-3 months of both kids at home before S starts school, and over the summer, we'll be at my parents a lot, and we rarely use the stroller there. It's so hard to know. Plus, in February, the snow might still be around for a month, so it might be nice to load them both in the stroller if you're going outside.

L rarely uses the stroller anymore, I can only remember her using it once in the past two months and we use the stroller all the time.

By summer I think she'll be out of it completely. Our plan is to wear #3 for the first few months.

My kids are 2.5 years apart, and I ended up buying two double strollers (not sure why now that I think about it). My oldest is 4.5 years old and still likes to use the stroller. They just have to take turns. When LO2 was a baby, I mainly wore him while LO1 used the stroller. We didn't use the double often. Only on big trips like Disney World and DC. I don't think a double is necessary. I'm just glad that I sold mine and didn't lose any money out of it.

We didn't need a double with the 3 year age gap. At least we didn't need one for normal walking. I would wear LO2 while pushing LO1 during long walks and outings. LO1 mostly walked after 3.5 though. I only used our regular double maybe 4 times! However, I love running so the double running stroller has been great. We used it until LO1 was 5ish (by that point, he was able to keep up with me on his bike).

Our sons are just over 2.5 years apart but ds1 has been pretty over the stroller since after 2. We also live in the burbs and use the stroller for big outings or travel. So we opted not to get one. Hasn't been an issue so far as we had a July babe and headed into the winter season.

I would say you don't need it... My DS is 3.5 years old now and we sold ours 0.5 years ago... DS1 would just have to understand he is a big boy now, strollers are for babies...

We waited until LO2 was born because LO1 was pretty anti-stroller for a while. LO1 was 2 years when LO2 was. born. LO1 was more interested in the stroller once the baby was in one. We ended up getting a Joovy Ultralight Sit and Stand...car seat can strap on and LO1 can stand or be strapped in to a small bench seat. It has worked well for us. Sometimes it's hard to keep LO1 under control while also pushing a stroller, so this serves the purpose well.

My kids are 2.5 years apart and a double would've been a waste of $$ for us. We have a Mountain Buggy with a Lascal buggy board and it does the job just fine although I do still carry my 3yo on the Ergo on occasion.
