Our first "Double" Stroller

Got one of the Fisher-Price sit and stand ones off of Craigslist.

The stock photos make it look so compact, but its HUGE!!

I had been scouting Craigslist and StrollerSwap for EVER for a sit and stand stroller, and really really wanted a Joovy ultralight Caboose which retailed at $269. I found an almost new one someone was willing to sell for around $150-200, but it still seemed rather steep for cheapo me who usually doesn't like to spend as much. Regular Joovy Caboose were to be found on Craigslist for around $75-100, but they don't come with Parent consoles. And I knew I wanted a console since I was going to use this stroller for malls, and places where I needed to keep a cup/bottle handy.

Then comes along this nice lady selling it for $45, in EEUC!! So I grabbed it. Like I said, its HUGE and heavier than the Joovy Ultralight, and as with other Sit and Stand strollers, looks like it will be a tight squeeze with the infant carseat and Sudha sitting. But hey - its a great price, and will keep my toddler happy. She already spent the entire evening playing with the stroller.

Next double on my list - Baby Jogger Double either Classic or Elite, or Mountain Buggy Urban Double, or Bob Dualie - if I can find a used one for around $200-250. Sigh, near impossible task - they sell for $600+ retail :(

Update: Guru does NOT like the stroller. He says its HUGE! Duh .. its a double and that price. So I guess I need to sell this back up and get the Joovy instead ... grr ...
