Like the BJCMD/B-agile double for under $250?

Is there a double stroller with a decent weight limit (50 pounds per seat) that is less than $250, reclines and has a decent basket or am I totally out of luck?

maybe CL? Is this for your disney trip? Good luck!

Our craigslist has NOTHING. I wish I would have held on to our BJCMD but DH insisted I sell it! Argh!

Yes, it's for the Disney trip in November. I'm giving my brother the graco quattro for his baby (they have a graco car seat) and I can just take the valco quad but I KNOW my 6 year old is going to poop out...I just know it!

hmm yup my ds would never make it through disney even at 5 or 6. He barely makes it to the end of the block. Nothing worse than whining every 10 minutes either to make the day seem long. You could buy and sell after or rent?

you can rent a BJCMD

I know it is not britax or bj, but joovy makes good quality mid-priced items. There is a review of it on baby gizmo. Sells for 229. I have a zoom ats. And their cs is good. Hth.

Oh thanks for the joovy suggestion! I'm not a brand snob at all. I just don't want to have to carry my 2 year old back every night because my 6 year old stole her stroller (which happened in March and my back can't do that again).

I have my b-ready but I would cry if it got stolen and I don't really want to mess with locking it up every.single.time we leave it.

I am considering just bringing a cheap umbrella stroller that hooks on the side of the valco, but I'm not sure how I'd push them back to the hotel if DH stays w/ DS like he did last time.

If you do choose the Joovy, get the Ultralight. It really is light, and the ball bearings in the wheels makes it push remarkably well. The only thing is that it isn't great for napping, in case your children are stroller sleepers.

They both are (even the 6 year old slept on our last Disney trip, she wears out quickly)...no sit and stand type options for us, unfortunately.

DH doesn't want to buy another stroller, but I told him I can NOT push the 6 year old and carry the 2 year old back again. I actually like the quattro, but I can't push it one handed, so I can't push 2 strollers back alone.

Unfortunately, the stroller situation has been one of my biggest stresses for our Disney trips (we go every year). We've done the 2 singles, which worked fine when DS used one and DD1 used the other, we've done one single (last time) and I regretted it every night I had to push it back w/ my 6 year old sleeping and my 2 year old strapped to my back.

Ideally, I'd get a lightish double umbrella w/ decent recline and a good push, but I don't think that exists.

I have an older Mac Concorde Duo that's fantastic, and an older M and P Microtwin that's amazing. Have you looked for something like that? How about the Inglesina twin Swift?
