Double Stroller Where Seats Face Ea. Other?
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone may know of a double stroller where you can turn the front seat around to face the other (or not) that DOES NOT have stadium seating??? So that when they are facing each other they can see each other. Is there such a thing?? OR maybe some type of wagon that could hold a 21/2 yr old as well as 7mo. old?? Thanks for any ideas.\
K.

I have two different cosco strollers, i know one is an eddie bauer, both have seats that face each other or away. It is extremely easy to switch, I have done it in the middle of the mall at times when my two aren't getting along. I also can set my newborn's carrier in the back when needed. I think you should be able to get a new one for under 200, mine were both yard sale finds for 20 each and still have a lot of use in them.

I dont' know of a stroller like that, and I would advise against the ones that are sitting side by side. (You can't get anywhere in those except outdoors. It won't fit in many doors or aisles.)
You can definitely do the wagon in the next few months. I do that with my 2 1/2 and 13 month old. We have been doing that for about 3 months.

Hi,
I have only seen one stroller like that, I think they carry it at Target for around $180: Eddie Bauer® Bryant Two-Way Tandem Stroller, there are several side by side strollers around like this one:(http://www.ecmdstore.com/product/ProductDetail.aspx?produ...)
Your older one might like wagons better, but my experience is that kids don't understand until about they are about 15 month old that they can not stand up or climb out of a moving wagon, so you'll need some kind of restraining system for the little one. Here is a shortcut to a fun, but more expensive wagon, they also have cheaper ones: http://www.step2.com/product.cfm?product_id=1370 Also watch the sales at Toysrus, Walmart and Target.
Good luck and have fun,

Hi K.,
I'm not really sure about the strollers but I have a wagon that we got my oldest son for his 2nd birthday. He is now 5 and he still loves going for rides in the wagon, especially with his baby brother who is 22 months. It is one of the new, sturdy plastic Radio Flyer Wagons. It has 2 seats both with seat belts. My younger son has been going for rides in it since he was able to sit comfortably on his own. Two of my neighbors just got their 2 year olds Step 2 wagons for Christmas and while the seats are somewhat deeper than the Radio Flyer wagon, the wagon itself is not as long so there's more chance for knocking knees. As far as strollers go, I don't have a double stroller so I'm not positive but I'd check graco.com, babiesrus.com or onestepahead.com. Hope this helps!!!

K. - there is such a thing or was.... My boys are now 8 & 10 but I had one when they were younger that they faced each other. It was great as they liked being able to see each other and big brother could help little brother. I know at the time I purchased it at Target. Good luck - its well worth the looking for it!

I found this wagon online. A friend of mine has it and her kids love it. She started out with the younger one in a Bumbo inside the wagon to help him not fall over:

We have the Baby Trend Sit-n-Stand. My kids are 2 years apart. You can snap in the infant carrier unto the front seat and the older child can sit or stand in the back. It's incredible! Toys-R-Us sold them, but I think you can also find them on OneStepAhead.com.

Burlington Coat Factory-Baby Depot has a double stroller where the front and rear seat face each other. I don't think they pivot or turn, but they do have a double that faces each other. I found it in the Burlington-Baby Depot in Waldorf Md. Good Luck-C.

Hi there, I think I just saw one of those from One Step Ahead. They are a catalog and website. I think BuyBuy Baby may also have them now. I had noticed them because I thought it was perhaps a much better solution than the two abreast or stadium style.
Good luck,

PS. Here is the one at Buy Buy Baby it looks pretty cool http://www.buybuybaby.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SK...;
