Hi, I am fairly new to the site, but this is my frist post over here. Anyway, I am a stay at home mom to 9 (yes, really... LOL), and I am finding my needs are changing in the way of strollers. As of now I have 4- 2 Evenflo's Take Me Too's (premier and Standard), a Graco MetroLite, and a DUO. I started with my MetroLite when I remarried and thought we would only be adding 1 to complete our "bunch". Then we got pregnant again fairly soon, tight on money and in a small town I buckled and bought the Take Me Too standard. Well that sucked!! When the tray broke and wheels started squeaking they sent me the Premier. I liked it, but it wasn't much better. Finally a year or so ago, I grabbed my DUO that matches my original set with car seat at a CS for $60. Not bad, but the canopy is missing a screw, it has no front tray and the wheels started wobbling shortly after we bought it. Well we had out last little princess, and she is now out of her SnugRide, which was the main reason I had for keeping the Metro and DUO. The Evenflo's are just collecting dust in my garage. My dream is to sell them all, and be able to make a hundred or so to put toward a "do it all" stroller. I *believe* this is the P3. I have kept the DUO, just in case the toddler princess falls asleep in the car as we are heading somewhere, but that doesn't happen that often. And I find myself less and less inclined to lug it around or push, so I just let her walk and take the single.... which woulld be great, IF I wasn't beginning to detest it so. My 6 month old, though sitting on her own, is a bit wobbly and is forever the leaning tower of Lena and bonking her head into the side frame It isn't well covered, and even with the straps on their tightest it still happens I figure the Pliko will give me the closest to a double, without having to lug it around, and in less then a year I won't need anyway and won't be stuck with something huge I don't need- which is what I feel with the Sit n Stand combinations.
So I guess I am asking two things....
1. If I have considered all options? AND
2. THE *best* deal out there?? With 9 kids, money is always tight, and so I can't really afford a high end expensive stroller full price, but I am tired of trying to "make do" with something that is now hurting my little one.
Thanks for listening if nothing else....
