New Baby on the Way - New Stroller

Hi - I am due in July with baby #2. DS will be 26 months when the new baby arrives.

We have a Valco Runabout. I can purchase a toddler seat for my son to make it a double.

Or - should I explore other options - like the BJCM, or a phil-and-ted's with a toddler seat.

We bought the stroller used - so I think if we go another route, we could re-coupe most of our original investment.

It seems like everyone loves their BJCM!!!

Here are my concerns. The seats look really narrow - like the kid is cocooned in it. I also like the idea that a toddler seat can be removed if we get to the point of needing only one in a stroller in the future.
 
I have the Twin Runabout and toddler seat. I love this stroller!! I have used the toddler seat for 8mo up to my 6yo dd! Funny, today I was thinking about getting a single Valco RA to replace my I'coo Infinity. Lol!

Tara - The toddler seat does not look very comfortable for the runabout - did your DC ever have a problem?

I am really very happy with our used Valco - but I would love to have lots of strollers for different situations - here would be my dream line-up

Joovy Caboose or a Sit and Stand
Chicco Twin Trevi
Valco or Phil and Ted's with Toddler Seat
BJCM

There are certain times where you know you'll need two seats for sure and other times where the second seat is just a maybe.
