Does anyone have this? Someone selling theirs second hand in a local mommy group and I've been looking for a double to accommodate my 3 yo and 16 mo. I've been wearing or trying to get my 3 yo to just walk but he gets jealous so wondering if this would be a good option for us. She's selling for $120

These are incredibly common in New Zealand but your little people might almost be at the point of outgrowing it comfort-wise. Your 3yo would need to ride in the front seat and I'm not sure how a toddler would go in extra seat.
Having said all that, these are great prams and really nice to push! And they retail for over $800 in NZ!!

@Kemma: that's my concern..that they'll be too big. My younger is small so I might get a year out of it. I could prob resell it for the same price too.

@Amelieisme: they definitely seem to hold their value and have a long lifespan if they're looked after!

@Amelieisme: I would recommend you meet to try it out (if you can). I have a britax, with a second seat like that, and my then 2.5 year old could never get into the bottom seat by herself, leaving it completely useless.

@MamaBehr: thanks for the input! We are going to meet tomorrow. I hate to waste the other mama's time but going to see if they'll fit. Beginning to think it may not be the best option. Really don't want to pay full price for another stroller though at this point.

I loooooove mine. I think a two year old can still sit in the bottom seat easily. Also, sometimes to convince an older child to walk you can tell them they can ride, but only in their less preferred seat (some kids love the bottom seat).

@Amelieisme: Have you thought about getting a glider board attachment for your stroller? I know my brother has one for his City Select.
Phil and Ted has an attachment. https://philandteds.com/us/Buy/adapt/ride-roll/freerider-stroller-board#.VeJ6WIZHbCQ

@bluestriped bee: I did see the glider! I was wondering how that would work with him (especially next summer when he's even bigger). We mostly do a lot of outdoor stuff, like walk to the park, festivals, zoo. Mostly my 3 yo just wants to sit out of jealousy not need but I'm tired of fighting the battle. Usually I end up carrying my younger and she's getting too big!
@MrsSRS: I will try that and see. He currently will curl up on the little triangle of space on the front of my BOB so he's fine being uncomfortable as long as he gets to ride

@Amelieisme: while I cannot say anything about the specific stroller we have a similar set up and my kids really like it. I'd say if the costs don't cut a too deep hole in your pocket it is probably worth a try.

@Pumuckl: I decided to go for it! I think it'll be a good decision

@Amelieisme: great deal! I agree you should be Abel to resell for close to that price.
