Hellobee Boards

DS will be 4 in November and I still put him in our sit n stand. He actually sits in the spot ment for younger kids and my 2 year old daycare girl sits in the sit n stand part. It works out great for quick trips to the craft store or taking walks. DS can't handle walking free range he is still a runner lol

I have a Britax B-ready which I am using as a double, but it can also be used as a single. It is a great stroller, which can grow (or shrink!) with you.

my girls are 3 years and 5 months apart. We did get by with single strollers and boogie boards at first, but then winter in NYC hit and I wanted both kids to be warm in strollers for long walks. We walk a LOT. My eldest even naps in strollers sometimes too.

So I justified it because we walk so much and I wanted to protect my older DD's naptime, meanwhile allowing me to run errands during their naps.

I don't think 3 yo is too old for a stroller but it depends on your family's needs. How much do you walk with them? I know a lot of city families who just train the older one to scoot everywhere... Have you also seen the Freerider? I think it's by Mountain Buggy; it's a scooter and can connect to the back of strollers like a boogie board. I believe it's compatible with the Bob now.

If you want double stroller recs, let me know. I used an Uppa Baby Vista for a while and now have a Mountain Buggy Duet that I LOVE! It was $600 though since I couldn't find it on CL since it's pretty new. I really love it though!

Yes, it's pretty smooth!! I love it. If u don't mind a review...

Let me just say first... at first I didn't like side-by-sides for siblings because I heard they are tough to push with uneven sides, but the Mountain Buggy Duet is so narrow it pushes really well despite my kids' weight difference (my 1 yo is 20 lbs and my 4 yo is 37 lbs!)

It's the most narrow double side-by-side at 25". That's about one inch wider than my Bob single and the same width (!) as a Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle (another single jogger). I think most other doubles are at least 29" across and I didn't want something so wide (like the Bob double or City Mini double).

This means I have no trouble whatsoever in going through single doors by myself! I love it. I also love that it is very sturdy, has a good-sized basket, a pretty easy fold, and isn't too heavy that I curse too much if I have to put it in my trunk. Compared to its larger counter part, the Duo (@40+ lbs), the Duet is 34 lbs (I think), which isn't bad for a standard double. The front wheels can lock and I have done some light jogging with it too. The market for side-by-side compact joggers is very small... So this is a plus for me since I sometimes like to get some workouts in without depending on others to watch the kids.

And yes, it does have a pretty smooth ride... Not as much as my Bob, but good enough. We stroll over city curbs, in parks, and uneven terrain sometimes with not much of a problem.

Hehe so yeah, i love the MB Duet... The fact that it's so narrow for a double and that I can jog lightly with it are my fave features. The sunshades are decent too... Love the optional belly bar as well and that each seat reclines near flat. I know it takes infant car seats, just not sure which ones since we just got it when DD turned 1 yo. 

Oh another plus is since my eldest DD is starting school soon again, I can still use it as a single by taking one seat out and using a "Joey" attachment (more shopping basket space). But you know, I actually might even just leave the 2nd seat there and put my diaper bag or more groceries in it. Again, because it's so narrow, it doesn't feel awkward using it with one baby on one side.

ETA: there were also a lot of other strollers I wanted to get instead... most were inline, like Phil & Teds, City Select and the B Ready... But when we shopped in person, my eldest DD didn't feel comfortable in the seats. She's tall for her age. So that's where going in person is really important if u decide to get a double! Good luck!
