I'm talking THE best of the best. I dont mean the best name brand or best looking... I mean, what is functional and worth the money. Hubby says I have champagne taste on a beer budget (and he's right), so this purchase could very well be my last before he shoots me. LOL
We have ALOT of strollers... let's see... A Peg Perego P3, a combi twinsport side by side, an eddie bauer tandem twin, a graco duoglide (actually two of those), a chicco umbrella (not sure what its called?), about 3 regular graco's that come as a travel system, and a few random ones that dont come to mind right now....
That said... we're going to disney... I want to take the p3 for DD/5yrs and was planning on taking the combi side by side for the little ones (DS/2yrs/25lbs and DD/3yrs/27lbs) but the bar that goes across the front is always a problem with them getting in and out and I dont mind that at the mall where they SHOULD be sitting. But at disney where they will be in and out the whole day, yeah.... its not gonna happen.
SO... an excuse to get a new double!! (((Me: starting the wave, wooohoooooo!!))) So, I'd like a side by side so everyone is front and center for all the sights (or front and side-by-side rather), and I'm looking to spend, oh maybe ?$300? That can be debated later...
What I need:
A side by side double
Two separate canopies
The ability to manuevre (I know that is spelled wrong because it looks like manure... but you know what I mean...) through doors/aisles or whatever without getting stuck
Needs to turn pretty easily (no front wheels that dont rotate, urgh!)
A big basket underneath
A cupholder would be a plus
What I dont want:
One that is way too tall. I'm only 5'2 and I need to A.) not look ridiculously small pushing it and B.) be able to reach the children from behind the stroller when they are trying to strangle one another.
A bar going across their laps keeping them from getting in and out easily
Thats about it... Any thoughts??
If anyone here has an engineer for a husband who would like to specifically design one to my specifications above, I would gladly pay extra
