Stroller for 2 Year Old and Newborn for Walking/running

I wasn't planning on using a stroller this summer as my new baby is due in May but then I realized what the heck was I thinking. I thought I could carry my new baby or have my son walk: both not good options. It would be primarily for walking around the neighborhood/park/zoo/etc.

A friend was recommending about the sit and stand stroller but I am not sure if that would be good for walking a lot. I know it would not be good for running. I was thinking about getting a nice jogging stroller.
I would like suggestions on what you have that you have loved.

What can I do next?

I saw your post and was curious what advice people gave you because we made the mistake of buying the sit n'n stand. It stinks. We hate it. It is too big, hard to fold up and just over all not a great product. Our children are 6months and 3.5yrs old. My 3 yr old hates the sit n' stand bench she doesn't fit well on it and she is not a large child. I would go w the others and look at the BOB in fact I plan to do the same. Thanks for posting this!

I got the in step swivel wheel (about $170) from walmart. Love it b/c it has a tray for the kids, easy to turn, decent storage below, separate visors, and 5 point harness (and seats that recline) so it's good for a younger baby too. Only drawback is if this is your only stroller, it's very bulky for the car. I had a jeep double umbrella stroller that I loved for going shopping/airports. But for walking the neighborhood I'd use the in step. good luck!

I have been looking at strollers for when my 2nd comes in Aug (my DD will be 2) If you want to spend money are planning on doing alot of running/walking, the BOB double stroller is the way to go. BUT it is kind of spendy (400 and up). My friend has an instep double jogger and loves it. She got it on Walmart.com for around 150.00...much more reasonable.

I agree the BOB is the way to go if you are looking for a really nice jogger .. I had a double stroller and it was awful, very hard to turn, and extremly heavy.. but then recieved the BOB when I was expecting my 3rd and I love it!!! It's so easy to turn and light!! If you have the extra money its worth the splurge! Congrats!
