Okay... I need stroller help. Hit me with your best ideas!
Here's the situation:
3 kids - 4, 2, and 1. 4yo doesn't ride in the stroller anymore, but 2yo definitely still needs contained, as well as the 1yo obviously. 4 and 2yo have preschool 3x a week, during which I only have the baby. While I considered just getting a double and single and leaving them in the car depending on which kids I have that day, it's not going to work - 4yo is in a Sureride in the 3rd row, so I only have 1/2 of the row down for cargo. Fitting a double and a single stroller just will not work. So I'm looking for a stroller that I can use as both a single and a double easily whenever I need to that will fit back there.
Complicating factors:
-2yo is the size of a 4 year old. 40", 40lbs (maybe a bit more.)
-1yo (at 12 1/2 months) is also large. 31" 26lbs.
I need a stroller that's going to last more than a few months. Obviously those with 40lb seat limits aren't going to work now, and those with 45lb limits aren't worth looking at. Add that to the fact that a lot of strollers have like a 30lb weight limit on the second seat which the baby will outgrow soon... Things aren't looking so hot.
I also need to be able to find it used or on SUPER sale, because my budget is TIGHT. The 2015 Vista looks like it would work, but I can't swing $800 for a stroller no matter how much I like it.
So what else is out there that takes at least 50lbs in the main seat, at least 35 pounds in the second seat, folds relatively compactly, converts single-to-double easily, and if possible doesn't have an obscured view for the second rider?
Am I dreaming too big? Help?
