Rileysmom 02-24-2008, 02:06 AM We have this: http://www.joovy.com/pages/pd_cabooseultralight.php We really like it! It holds a toddler in the back, and a baby seat or baby in the front. The child in the back can sit or stand, and there is a buckle back there as well. It's a bit more narrow than others, which I like a lot. (We just have one child right now, but bought it thinking ahead when his other stroller shit the bed.) It's also very lightweight and folds up very easily. It's very maneuverable. It's neat too, because at a place like the zoo, the child can just hop off, and enjoy the exhibit, and hop back on and move on the next thing.. that goes for the park, shopping, etc. too. The downsides? No cupholder for mom (I bought an attachment that works great for keys and stuff). The front seat doesn't fully recline either, something I was bummed about. It also doesn't have much room for storage, but again, the attachments I got has clips for purse, shopping bags, etc. We did take it to Disneyland, and without the second child, we were able to stack a TON of crap in there... cooler, four hoodies, gifts, etc. Overall, the good beats the bad, and the price was great, I got it for $120 using a Babies R Us coupon. :tu From what I have researched, there is no perfect stroller out there... they all have the pos/neg points about them, unless you have a few grand to shell out. :) Rachael has the same one, she is the one that suggested it. :tu *Crystal* 02-24-2008, 02:11 AM You can have ours, we dont use it.

How old will she be when you have #2? Riley just turned two, and he does great in the back part of it. He likes to sit backwards and he talks to me, so I love it too!

Rileysmom 02-24-2008, 04:04 PM OH I see what you mean, hmm, she honestly might be a bit young for it then. :( I suppose it depends on her and how well she does with walking and that stuff by then, but it sounds like one of the ones with two seats might be a better fit for you! Either way, good luck! :) mackenziesmommy 02-24-2008, 04:08 PM We are getting this one!!
