I made the mistake of looking at Target's website today. My sister's family was heading to the states, and it got me hankering after a trip down there. I started off okay...just looking at strollers. This is the one I want for my kids.
But now, Andrew's over at the old house working, Davey's trying to fall asleep, and I'm trying to be quiet. So I decided to whip on the Internet quick. Target website was still open. So I looked at little girl clothes. Oh dear. Big mistake. We absolutely CAN NOT set foot in the US, or anywhere near any stores that sell children's clothes for that matter.

hey, I have a tandem stroller very much like that. I really like it for walks outside, because Joshua can sit or stand at his leisure, and he likes the freedom of getting off when he chooses.
When we first got it though, it was difficult. He needed a lot of training about staying on, and always holding on when we were driving and he's standing, and not to switch between sitting and standing while driving. We have him trained enough to use it outside now. The stroller just does NOT work for going to the mall though. Every time I stop to look at something, or even slow down, he takes the opportunity to get off. And because he is now used to the freedom this stroller gives him, he gets QUITE upset when I revoke that freedom and strap him in. Not a pretty picture in the mall.
Anyhow, some food for thought before you make the purchase. Sometimes I wish I had just gone the big old boat of a double stroller route. This one does have it's perks though -- when on outside walks.
Guess it depends what you mainly see yourself using it for, and the temperament of your kids. I wish I had taken the time to hear some reviews before I made the purchase though.

Thanks for that! I never even considered the on/off problems a stroller like that could cause.
Right now when we go to the mall, we usually just carry him on our shoulders, but I know THAT is going to change very soon (he's getting too heavy and I'm getting tooooo pregnant!)
I think I'll take the time to read some reviews.
