I work 2 days a week and on those days my Mom watches my 2yo DD. She and I both go on long walks each day with DD so I end up toting my Jeep Liberty All Terrain back and forth to her house so we can both use it. This is getting old. I'm sick of dragging it to her house and we're going to start TTC soon so I don't think I'm going to want to be lifting it all the time while I'm pg because its really heavy.
So I've been thinking that maybe I should buy another stroller so I can leave one at her hosue and keep one here. I already have an Inglesina Zippy that I never use (we only use the stroller for long walks - never indoors) but it just isn't a great outdoor stroller, has no cup holder, etc.
Should I buy a double jogger now since I'll likely have a newborn next year and will need one anyway? If so what is a good jogging type stroller (neither of us actually jog, just power walk) for a 3 year old and a newborn? It must have a swivel front wheel. I want something that can hold DD until she is at least 4 or so years old. Is there anything out there that has speakers like the Jeep Liberty? DD won't sit in the stroller without the music so if not I'll be buying her an IPOD LOL! I'm actually not kidding there;) I know I'll likely have to buy an IPOD but just thought I'd ask. Anyone have any suggestions on what type of IPOD or CD player to get or any creative solutions for getting music into your stroller?
Would the Phil and Ted's E3 be a good solution to my problem, it could be a single now and a double later? Do kids usually like sitting underneath?? It doesn't look like much fun to me, KWIM? Or how about the MBUD, would it work until DD is 4+ years old (she's average size?) Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I really just have no idea what I want to do so I thought this might be a good place to start. Thanks so much.
