We did a double Thule sport chariot. Sling for newborn. It was good for around town and totally bomb proof with a jogger wheel in the winter. Total nightmare to get into a vehicle though.
For the stroller, I spent about $2000 on a Thule chariot sport (including accessories) because I was training for an ultra-marathon when my oldest was a baby. I've hauled it up mountains, and pulled it behind my bike for hundreds of kilometers. No regrets on that purchase, but for the stroller that I push through the grocery store, and around the block with the dog, I use the cheapest one I can find that the car seat drops into (a Graco). Both strollers are just right for their use cases, and I don't see a lot of use for a stroller that occupies a middle ground between the two, but your usage patterns may differ.
3 total with a 13 month old:
- Bumbleride Indie All-terrain/Jogging stroller (our everyday)
- Summer 3DMini Umbrella Stroller (our travel stroller)
- MEC Bike Chariot (can be used as a jogging stroller but we only ever use it on our bike)
I had a single for my first and now have an amazing double Thule chariot for the two of them. There was a lot of cheaper second hand stuff on fb market place. I did not plan ahead in that one, and we got the double stroller once we had two kids.
A 5.5 yr and 4 yr old with one more on the way.
