I know there has been a lot of stroller questions here lately, but now that I have my car seats figured out, it is time to tackle the stroller issue!
Here is all the pertinent information. Please, make suggestions for me as I'm really at a loss!
I am 5'1" and dh is 5'11"
C is 3 (will be 4 when the baby comes, current stats in siggy).
We have a Combi double stroller that is great for the zoo, amusement parks, malls.
I want something for neighborhood walking. I do not jog. I believe one shouldn't run unless someone is chasing you. I try to walk A to school at least once a week. It is a 3 mile round trip walk up some REALLY STEEP HILLS. Seriously. C can walk one direction or the other (as long as he has A to chase) but not both ways. The other sidewalks in our neighborhood are short house fronts with lots of driveway dips. We would also like the stroller for park outings/dog park/uneven terrain. Most of the time (except trips to/from the school), C can walk and does so quite willingly. I need a stroller that can start at birth and go up to some heavy weights for the occasions that C needs a ride. (I traditionally haven't been a baby wearer due to bad shoulders but can for short distances.) I don't necessarily want a double jogger because I only see that being used for a year...max. I like the idea of Phil & Ted strollers with doubles kit, but the cost is prohibitive.
Hit me with your best suggestions. Basically, pushes easy, can accommodate 2 kids for about a year (as needed) and lightweight when pushing. (Unlike my Graco stroller which seems very heavy when I'm pushing it).
