My sister has 23 mo twins and an infant and she really needs to get a new stroller so she can function outside of her house as a human being again! lol
Here's the details: the twins are very antsy and are starting to want to walk alot (even though she really does need them to still ride a lot of the time for safety's sake). The baby is 2.5 months old. She currently has a Combi side by side (sorry, don't know the name!) and she usually puts the baby in his carseat in one of the seats, one of the twins in the other seat and trying to have the other twin hold onto the stroller while she's walking. Not good. Her boys are 'bolters' if you know what I mean.
Anyway, I told her about the Valco double with the toddler seat but she is resisting. She says it "looks weird" to her (whatever!) She has this blind hope that the twins will have outgrown the need for a stroller soon and she'll be able to just get a single for the baby.
I'm not sure what advice to give her and my BIL asked me today to try to 'encourage her' again to think about maybe getting a stroller that would allow her to get out more with the kids and function a little better. I asked him budget and he threw out the number $400.
What setup do you think would work best for two very active almost 2 yr olds and an infant? A single and two of those backpack harnesses? I thought of maybe something like the Joovy Caboose with the baby in the front and both boys sharing the back? She is not open to a triple stroller. Oh experienced stroller mama's, what do you think? Is there another option I'm not thinking of?
Thanks.
