Double Stroller


A few weeks ago I decided that life would be easier with a double stroller. Until now I've been driving the girls to the parks in our area instead of walking--my only other options were to take Reese in the stroller and strap Paige to my chest (which can make for a sweaty momma once we finally arrive), or put Paige in the stroller and hope Reese can walk or ride her tricycle to the park (currently the distances are a little too long for that). So, I began searching for a used stroller.

When I perused Craigslist I was in total shock. $200-300+ for a used double stroller?!? Granted I was looking for a jogger , but who were they kidding? Disgusted, I looked up how much new double joggers were selling for--I about had a heart attack. I conceded slightly and pushed up my initial budget estimate for the purchase.

I contacted sellers on craigslist with my "best offers" and even made some bids on eBay. Many disappointing emails later, and lots of cursing at eBay bidders, I found a stroller in Round Rock. It's definitely been well loved, and it doesn't have a ton of bells and whistles, but it was under $100 and the kids love it. On our first trip to the park they made googly eyes at each other and held hands the whole time.
