So...I totally shoped around for a doubble stroller. There were so many that looked great, but were so expensive. I wasn't about to drop $400-$600 on a stoller. I ended up buying my doubble stroller on e-bay. It wasn't used. It was brand new. The two main things that I wanted, were to have the seats recline individually, and then to have a swivle wheel in the front. (Most wheels that swivle, will also lock them into place if you want them to). But the single stroller that I have is a Jeep Liberty brand, with a swivle wheel. I love it. I think that the brand of my doubble stroller is an instep. It's gray with yellow piping. I love it also. So complaints that I saw on the stroller was that it was too wide to go shopping with. But I am not one to take two kids shopping with anyways. Most of the places that I shop, generally have a shopping cart that the kid can dit in anyways. The only down fall is that I wish that the shad part was bigger. I think that you can get shade extenders for the stroller. But when I go on walks, I just use a chip clip, and clip a blanket to the end of the shade, and drap it down in front of the kids. Anyhow, I do love it, and paid about $200 for. I would maybe check a place where they sell new and used childerns clothing, and such. They have strollers sometimes. Anyhow. Sorry for the long comment. Good luck.
Depends on what you want to do with it. The sit and stands are nice if you want to use it for more of an everyday stroller. I also bought just a cheep umbrella double stroller and we have loved it because it folds up so small and it was cheap! We also have a jogging stroller that we use to go outside, run, walk, etc. If you go that route- get one that has a front swivel wheel. The BOBS are nice but kind of pricey. They have similar styles in other brands you just aren't buying the name "BOB".
I researched double strollers for months before finally deciding on one! I loved the sit and stand, but wanted an option for my oldest to be able to sleep or just be a little more comfy so I bought the sit and stand deluxe cuz it had the option of the second back seat that could be removed to just a bench. But I hated it. She looked so uncomfortable. So I sold it a week later on craigs list! I couldn't return it! Then I bought the graco duo glider and I love it! IT has a huge basket underneath, two removable snack trays, a mommy tray and even has the option of holding an infant seat in front. The only disadvantage is the size, but it really hasn't been a problem for me. I love it!
BTW, I hope you're having a great summer! Logan is a cute kid! I'm so glad I found your blog!
I could tell you all sorts of things about single strollers, but we're not in the double market yet. However, I have friends with Bob's and they look great. It was fun to see you guys again. We should do it more often.
Hey, I looked and looked for my strollers and I love them. I have a Combi for the mall and run around and that. I love it because it is super lightweigh and collapes smaller than any other (when I was shopping for one anyway). It is great for a newborn because it lays all the way down and is pretty snuggly. I also have a jogging stroller that I LOVE! It is the BabyTrend, Epedition. It is more narrow than most, lays down, and all the cushions pull out for washing. My favorite feature is the visor that rotates 180 degrees. So if you are walking into the sun you can adjust it to block it, and it also great for blocking the wind--my girls hate the wind! Anyway, you may have already purchased one but if not I hope this helps. Oh, I had a sit and stand and I hated it because Mai woudln't stay in it. Logan is probably much more well behaved than my wild little women, but Idon't recommend it. :)

I love our double stroller that can also be hooked on the back of a bike. If you like to ride bikes.
Sorry no stroller advice....I love your ATV & downtown pics. The real gas pump at the children's museum motivates me to take Caden. So fun!
i hear the bob is amazing. all my friends are getting them. besides being great for the beach..and all other terrain..i hear they've got it goin on.
or you could always go for the stokke!
I love our sit and stand stroller because Jack can get in and out really easily. We've had it a year and both kids still love to ride in it.
