which stroller you use for older kids?
hi, this is a pretty common question i guess.. i have two boys 1 year and 41/2 years, we travel internationally and with lots of (transiet stay in between where i need a stroller for both the kids, and alos we go on long trips here, so my older one sometimes wantto take a nap on whole day trip…. however i have a stroller that he is too big for now i have 2 choices ,
sit and stand type stroller.. where my elder one cant take a nap.but can sit and is more independent,…and its cheap
maclaren twin techno (already have one)..expensive , but both kids can lie down and take a nap, however it happens occassionally.that the older one wants to nap.
can you tell me if i sell the maclaren , and buy a sit n stand , that i will finally when he is older than 5 yerars )is it a good decision?
( i always feel guilt about buyingsuch expensive stroller and iam afraid to leave it unattended or in palnes so it could be damaged or lost)
my older one is not that much in stroller however every mom knows they want to be baby sometimes ,they do get tired ocassionally,like on vacations , my major concern are the airports with odd timings ……
rania is not my actuall name
I would stick with the Maclaren if you don’t need the double sell it and buy a single Maclaren. The Maclaren is better quality than the sit and stand. The Maclaren accommodates larger children more than any other stroller. It has the highest weight capacity that I have seen and is wider and more durable. The Maclaren is owned by a friend of mine that she bought when her boy was a year old. He is now 6 and a half and 67 pounds and still uses it regularly. (He is Autistic). Also a school for disabilities in my area has the Maclaren stroller lining the hallways of there school right next to all the wheelchairs.

If you don’t like the expensive one and don’t feel you’re using it enough, sell it and buy the sit and stand one. Your older child shouldn’t be in the stroller so much that he needs a nap anyway. I doubt you talk walks for so long that he would need to nap.

the sit n stand was the best purchase i made for my two kids. the only thing you need to watch out for with the 5 yr old is the weight limit, pick a stroller and see what its capacity it for the rear standing section.

You can get a used Phil & Teds with the doubles kit. Your older one will be fine up front, and your little guy will be well under the 35 lb limit for the back. The stroller itself goes to 85 lbs, so you’d be good there. And when you don’t need both seats, just take the back one off.
I also have a Maclaren and a Buggy Board. Doesn’t solve your nap problem, but at least your big guy can ride a bit, when need be, and you don’t have a big bulky thing to drag around. The weight limit on the Maclaren is 65 lbs.
I wouldn’t do a Sit’n'Stand. It’s huge, heavy, bulky, and you won’t use it for very long.

I have the Sit & Stand. I love it. My kids are 5, 3.5 and 8.5 months. It fits in the trunk of my Focus. It can hold all three kids in a pinch (for those all too frequent Mommmmmyyy, I’m so tired I can’t walk anymore moments). It’s not ultra-heavy, and it folds easy, so it’s easy on planes and in airports.
My older kids don’t nap anymore, so I don’t need the space for them to sleep. And, if they’re that tired, we get in the car and go home.
