Q. I need a stroller that will fit a newborn and a 4 year old. I would like it to be easy to store and put it my van. Any ideas?


Answer
Well I don't know what your budget is but my best suggestion would be the

Baby Trend Sit and Stand because it allows you to move the infant seat to the front or back. It cost about $170.00 But it is kind of heavy it weighs around 30-33lbs so yah a bit heavy.


Next would be the Joovy Caboose. I don't like this one very much simply because it doesn't have Canopy on the back.

This is my favourite! Kolcraft Options II Tandem. I like that this one has a canopy on both seats. I love the features. Its worth it at nearly $300.00 because it will last for a while. Basically the cost of two travel systems. And I'm sure if you look you could find it for cheaper.

I know of this stroller... Graco Quattro Tour Duo I think it cost about $170.00 or something but it is really nice. It weight like 39lbs though. But it is a good stroller. I didn't look for links to it though.. But yah those are them lol

Hope I helped.

Is there any travel system that comes included with the car seat and a double stroller?

I am looking for a double stroller that comes with the infant car seats included. If you know of any please let me know. You can email me.

Thank you I really appreciate it.



Answer
I don't know of any double stroller that comes with a carseat. If there is one it's probably made by Graco.

Of course, there are many double strollers that accept infant carriers. My favorite is the Chicco Cortina Together double stroller ($300). It is light-weight for a double, folds up almost as small as the single Cortina, and uses the Chicco Keyfit, which is currently Consumer Reports #1 ranked infant carrier.

A less expensive option would be the Baby Trend Sit n' Stand stroller ($129-189). The $189 version has two complete seats, as the older child is ready, the back seat turns into a bench type seat. The child can sit and face you, or stand on a small platfrom and face forward. The less expensive models have a full front seat and the bench style seat in the back. These can accept a Baby Trend, as well as many other brands. I'm not a big fan of Baby Trend Infant carriers because of complaints I have heard from our guests, so I would probably use a Graco Snugride with this stroller.

Graco makes a few double strollers, the lightest and least expensive one is the Graco DuoGlider LX Stroller - Pippin ($149). Only Graco infant carriers will work with this system. The Graco snugride is my second favorite carrier behind the Chicco.

If you want to go a little higher end look at the Phil and Teds ($480 - 700) you can buy adapters for the Graco Snugride, the Peg Primo Viaggio, and the Chicco keyfit for $35.

The best feedback I get for the higher end double strollers is for the Bob ($485-500). I have never had someone who owned this stroller have a complaint about it. You can buy car seat adapters for $89.

Hope this helps, please feel free to contact me with any questions,

Alan
