Okay, here's the situation. For one week twice a year there is a consignment (or Mom to Mom) sale here in my town. I am contemplating a purchase, but I want to get some advice so that I don't make a stupid impulse buy. The sale officially starts on 5/10, but there is a pre-sale day for consigners on 5/9. Anything decent usually goes on that day - and FAST.
I don't really need another stroller - and DH would steam if he knew I was contemplating this - but I'm thinking about looking for a used double jogger. The only double that I have is a Sit and Stand, and I'd like something that I could use to take the kids on a jog (I haven't run on a road in years - my feet might freak out at first not sensing a treadmill).
I've decided that since this is an impulse buy, I've made a few rules, but I'd like some input from those of you that have used them. It's got to be a decent stroller, in good condition, for under $100 preferrably.
What brands of strollers should I keep an eye out for? What marks of bad condition should I look for? Any features I should keep in mind. I have no idea what I'll find, but I imagine there will be a couple gems there.
Thanks!
