Yes, I officially feel like...

a mother of 2!  My double stroller finally arrived yesterday! 

 MrD and I hemmed and hawed about whether or not to get one because Mig is already 3 years old and usually likes to walk on his own anyway.  But, there have already been a few times when our Mig has decided he didn't want to walk OR we were out at theme parks where it would be impossible for him to walk the whole day.  

We would get stuck pushing 2 strollers and it would just be a big pain in the *@$$*, especially when Diggs would want to get out and we'd have to sling him and push his carriage!  We couldn't decide if we wanted to go with the double stroller with all the bells and whistles, the designer that matched our infant carrier, etc.  

Then one day, on our many excursions to the mall, I saw a mom pushing her two kids (who looked about the same age as ours) and with the same carrier as us, in a Sit and Stand.  We have the single Sit and Stand and love it (and the price).  So, I approached her and asked her about her stroller.  She enthusiastically told me how much she loved it, showed us the different ways her bigger child can ride, and showed us how her infant seat gets attached.  Sold!  

MrD did his research for the best deal on NOT getting us to pay for shipping and ordered it.  Here it is, all for a whopping $149.00 - not bad!

Welcome to the double stroller club! :-)
We needed it too and we have not regretted getting it! We've gotten so much use out of it especially for our daily long walk in the neighborhood!

Congratulations on the double stroller! I had to go through 4 different strollers until I found one that worked for me. You have a beautiful family, thanks for stopping my my blog.
