Hi Everyone,

I was wondering since all of you are such experts in strollers if
you wouldn't mind giving me some advice.

I'm looking for either 1 or 2 strollers, depending on how you answer
this question or questions.

I have a little boy who is 2yrs old, weighs 25lbs, and is a tad tall
for his age. I was thinking about purchasing the Silver Cross
Micro/Mini Stroller. It will be used for short trips, vacations, and
the airports, things of that nature.

I also have 2 daughters ages 7, and 5. They both weigh 40lbs, the
eldest is tall for her age, the other is just right. Should I bother
getting them a stroller to share? I just don't want to have to carry
them. I wanted to get them the Joovy Caboose, but all the reviews I
read were bad one's, I think they are too big for the Silver Cross
Micro/Mini, so I was going to get them the Englesina Swift. Personally, they are too big for a stroller, but just for those times that they get tired.

I was also going to invest in a sling of some sort that the 2yr old
can fit, that way if he didn't want to ride, both girls would be in
the 2 strollers. I thought about getting the hiphugger the one that Angelina Jolie uses, then I thought about the peanut shell that way I can have him on my hip, or on my back.

Sorry for any writing errors, but I've been up all day and night,
trying to get our floors ready to put in wood one.

Thanks A Bunch!!!!!!!!!!!

I've no advice on the stroller, but you might find a Buggy Board or Kiddy Board to be useful. Your girls could take turns on it. My boy is nearly 4 now and he's pretty happy with the footboard of our Milano. I don't know if he's high- energy or his parents are low-energy, but usually we're tired by the time he is, so we all just go home!

I've heard good things about the Ergo carrier, but it might be too bulky to be stuffed into a stroller basket. I tried the Hip Hammock when my son was about 18 lbs, and that was good too.

You might try a two shouldered carrier like a Mei Tai. I think you will get very discouraged with a one shoulder carrier because you might get very sore after a short while.
