Here is the backstory: My husband has been injured and will be needing a couple surgeries on his leg. He will be on crutches for a few months before being able to bear any weight at all. And after this first recovery (a fracture), they will likely have to go back and repair his ACL (the 2nd surgery). All in all, it could easily be a 12 month recovery.

So, for the time being, I'll have 100% of kid and house duties meanwhile trying to work full-time. I just returned from maternity leave three weeks ago, so I've exhausted any FMLA time.

I have a 3.5 year old and a 3 month old and am racking my brain on things to do to keep my oldest busy, and things I can easily do with a baby in tow. Because I obviously won't have much (or any) time to work out, I'm contemplating a double stroller to take my oldest to the park or for a stroll (assuming she's occupied with snacks) while the baby naps. I'm guessing that may be the only real exercise I'd get for a while.

Is it way too late for a double stroller? If not, any recommendations on what to get? I did see a used Chicco tandem stroller for $60 on Craigslist that appeared to be in good shape, but I really don't know about the advantages/disadvantages of this vs. a side-by-side, assuming I should even bother with one at this point.

Also - My oldest was never a fan of a stroller in the first place (therefore the need to occupy her with snacks) so I'd be looking for something not terribly expensive if I do get one.
