I had posted a thread previously about how my seats on my MBUD broke and needed to replace them. Thanks to another poster I was able to buy the mb duo seats to fit with my urban double. Got the seats, very excited! Put them in... not excited anymore... Apparently with the seats suited for the Duo, the awning was taken into account because with my old UD single sunshade the seat lays MUCH to high and tall! My small 2 yo was reaching the sunshade!!! This would NOT do for a double for me. I am expecting to use this for at least another year for this kid and my baby...
Soooo, I figured out it was because the duo's sunshade is higher up by a good 4 inches. My first thought was to then buy the two new duo's sunshades to replace my single. However, it is not a sure thing it will fit and I will be out another $90 about, after spending about $130 for two seats and a new basket... Keep in mind this is all for a 2005 MBUD that I bought for $300 used about 4 years ago.
I am in such a quandry what to do! Should I pimp up this older stroller and spend close to $220 on replacing parts that may or may not work? Or return it all and buy a new stroller????? Then if I buy a new one: Do I go with the not as good quality (p&t made) MBD or go with Bob dualie flex (specifically that one cuz I need the adjustable handlebar)?
Or is there another option I am missing? I don't want to spend a huge amount of money, as we don't really have it.... I saw on amazon the bob we would like is $480 right now. That is quasi-reasonable option for me.
What to do? What would YOU do? Keeping in mind that a. I do love my MB 2. we are cash strapped right now 3. I need an option soon cuz my baby is almost 6 months and will not want to lay down flat for walks for many more months ;-)!
Please give me advice!!!!!
