First off, I'm new here but finding this forum very helpful!
We are in the process of a domestic infant adoption and may have a placement at the end of April. I'm looking for advice on a double stroller that would be suitable for a 4-year-old and a newborn.
Our DD is 4-years-old, roughly 41 inches tall and about 38-39 lbs. She still gets tired at the mall and she is not very good about staying close by (something we are working on!), so I do want to have the option of strapping her in if needed. I do not do a lot of rough terrain type activity, mostly sidewalks and the mall, so I don't think I need a jogger type stroller.
I have looked at the Sit'n'Stand strollers and am leaning towards that. The Baby Trend/One Step Ahead one is more within our price range, though I might be able to persuade DH towards the Joovy. I've seen mixed reviews on both but I do like the parent tray option of the Baby Trend style.
Is there another type double stroller that takes a carseat (most likely Graco, though I might get a KeyFit) that will also hold DD comfortably?
Right now, I have a Maclaren Triumph that we use with DD and I also have Graco Literider I plan to use if it is just baby and I. I will likely be out by myself with both kids, so I'm in need of a double. I'm also petite (only 5 ft tall) so some of the doubles seem incredibly huge.
