I currently have a 3 year old and am expecting my second child in about 2 weeks. I was looking into getting a sit to stand stroller, but I am having a hard time on deciding which one to buy. I would like to get one that will hold a chico car seat in it while my daughter is able to sit in the back without being uncomfortable. Some of them don't allow the child to sit while the car infant carrier is in. Any suggestions would be great!
Get a side by side....so much easier in every way. I suggest the combi twin.
check out the Joovy Caboose Ultralight. I used the infant carrier and my older one could still sit on the back bench seat. he liked standing better, and there was definitely more room to stand when the infant carrier was in. its really easy to turn, and had a decent sized basket (hard to get to with infant carrier in it though). good cup holders and other storage for keys/phone, etc.
I also have a Chico Key Fit car seat and had the same problem as you. There really are no sit and stands for the Chico :(
I got a BabyTrend Sit and Stand Stroller. I put the car seat in front seat and used the straps with it as well...then when you put the sunshade part up that really held the car seat snug. I got this two summers ago when my little girl was born and am still using it this summer!
It is super easy to open and close by yourself and pretty light too...as far as double strollers go. Sometimes I feel the steering could be better, but overall, I have been happy with it.
We have the Graco "Ready to Grow" sit-and-stand and I love it! My soon-to-be 4 yr old can sit comfortably in the back while the baby is locked into her carseat in the front. There are multiple "arrangments" allowing either child to sit in front.
It was around $200 and it was pretty easy to put together.
Good luck!
I can't say that I know a whole lot about the carrier you are using, but I bought a baby trend sit-n-stand when I was pregnant with my son and my daughter was 2. I had a Graco carrier. My daughter could sit in it with an infant carrier attached, but she never did. We actually still use it, with my son (now almost 2) sitting in the front, and my daughter (now almost 4) standing in the back. She still won't sit if she can can stand and ride around! ha! ha!
