The zoe twin v2 is rated up to 60 lbs per seat. I had a double bob (found a used one on marketplace) and a wonderfold W2. My kids both preferred the wagon to the stroller. When my second was little we just did an umbrella stroller and I would baby wear.
We had 3. We had the jogger that the car seat came with, the urbani reversi ( now it’s evenFlo) that was our daily stroller … then we had our emergency basic umbrella that we kept in my husband’s truck or the RV … she’s older now and too big for the strollers but she is on the spectrum and elopes or throws her self down when overwhelmed so we now just have the wonderfold W2 for big trips ( which honestly I love but like I said she’s older now and it’s a safety device almost)
I have a 1.5 & 2.5 year old. I have the uppababy vista v2, wonderfold w2, and Zoe twin. Zoe twin is my fave of the 3!
I’d do the double personally! We have a wonderfold and still get TONS of use for our double and I think they have pretty different purposes. I love my wagon for the farmers market, school events, museums and the zoo, and my double for just about everything else. We didn’t cave and buy a double until baby 3 & 4 and I wish I hadn’t held out so long.
+1 for Happy Hollow lol. We used to get stopped all the time and asked about our Wonder Wagon!
I would LOVE to have received the convertible car seat of my choice. It would have been around half the budget you’re looking at, so adding a crib to it would also take some stress off my plate as well because most cribs I was looking at were under $400. That’s 2 big items off the list. The convertible seat is often more expensive than the infant seat and offers longevity but also offering to buy one of the items and then presenting with the balance in cash would also offer a ton of flexibility in what she’s wanting. Personally, I love my Evenflo 360 seat, my bougie Cybex stroller, my bougie wonderfold wagon, and my convertible crib. I’m on my 4th kid and the crib has never been converted past a toddler bed but it’s been used over and over and over again. It’s getting ready to welcome its 4th occupant and didn’t have the chance to be used as a toddler bed this go around. I also love my pack and play (I got the mini one that converts from bassinet to toddler bed with the zipper entrance this time), baby carrier, and bouncer. You might just check out her registry if she’s got one and snag several of the larger items and have them sent to her house.
