I'm in shambles this afternoon and need you all to give me links. I just ordered a Britax B-Agile but I think I'm just going to send it back, it's not going to work for what I need.

I need a stroller that DD can ride in, that I can also sit on to rest, and use as a walker to hold myself up when she's not in it.

I've seen the sit and stand strollers a few times but have never looked at them closely or played with one. I need one that has a stool or something for me to sit on, while DD is still in the stroller. Preferably without me having to climb underneath a handlebar or something obnoxious like that.

Any help links/help would be greatly appreciated.

Price isn't really an issue at this point, we just need something that's going to work.

If anybody has pictures of one IRL that would be awesome too.

I think all the sit n stands have a handlebar that you would have to duck under. However, what about a stroller you could sit on the front of when you need a rest? I was thinking the 3 wheeled ones have the triangle in the front. I just got a phil and teds e3 off of cl today and it could be used as a walker as the weight is distributed differently than my mbus so it is sturdier. Alternately, what about a leash backpack for your dd and a regular walker with a seat for you?

The joovy ergo caboose may work cause it is a beast with air tires. Ill have my sis sit in hers and see if it tips.

the actual stroller called "sit and stand" definitely wont work. The sitting platform is not NEAR strong enough. I used it with Kate and she was like barely 40 pounds and it BROKE..like, literally snapped into pieces while she was sitting on it. We had used it maybe 5 times, it was almost brand fracking new.

I think a regular rollator style walker would be ideal.

The bob revolution duallie holds me on the front just fine so the single should be fine

So I played with a real sit & stand and yeah, the plastic sitting thing is going to bust if I sit on it more than once. That and the thing is a heavy beast to steer and no way I can fold it up and lift it.

I just need a freaking motorized scooter wheelchair with a RFing car seat on the back.

How about a folding cane chair? My dad had one when he had knee surgery, and it was great. He could sit down whenever needed. It folds small and can go with you.

I sit on the front of our BJCE regularly, and I think I weigh twice as much as you.

Bonus, it folds and steers like a dream.

not so awesome- it weighs like 30 lbs and I always seem to bang my leg when I'm lifting it into a vehicle. It's not super sturdy to lean on. More than most strollers, but I may have tipped it backward when I had a full basket of groceries sitting on the canopy/handle. also, the basket kind of stinks.

Actually, there is a child seat adapter for motorized scooters and chairs http://www.disabledparents.net/erinsride.html

I started with a scooter and still use it for many things. Ds rode on the scooter with me until he was too tall for me to see over his head. I purchased one that breaks down in to 4 pieces with no piece weighing more then 15 pounds. It is narrow and turns well. I also have a rolling walker with a seat and a backpack that spreads open to make a seat. I have neuropathy in my feet and legs and have great difficulty standing.

We had a joovy caboose regular one. It would be awkward to sit on but my kids would swing from the handle bar and never tip it. It's pretty heavy to lift though.

I didn't read all the posts, so I don't know if this was suggested but I have a little metal and canvas stool that folds that would be perfect for that. You could probably find something like that for less than 20 bucks and keep it in the basket. I take ours to soccer games and such and it wouldn't be a big deal to just pull it out when you need to sit. If you had an umbrella stroller you could even hang it over the handles, they're really lightweight.
