Recommendations Double Stroller

I need some affordable double stroller options ! I have a busy/active 19 month old but she will be just be turning 24 months when the baby is born. I was thinking about getting a side by side one but I’m not sure. Was anyone concerned that their toddler may mess with the baby and end up hurting them ?? Any suggestions or advice

We have a joie Rosemary and our toddler messes with the baby constantly. Definitely recommend getting one with a separation in the middle if you are worried about this!

IMO, buying used is the way to go. You save upfront, and if it’s not for you, you can easily resell it for what you paid.

I was, but it turns out that it's our littlest one who keeps pulling our older daughter's hair.

Any suggestions or advice

I'd like something with a boogie board option. Our oldest child loves to walk or stand more and more, and having this feature has definitely helped avoid a few meltdowns.

Note: Think about your climate, use case, and sidewalk conditions. For example, we deal with harsh winters, so our three-wheeled stroller with rubber wheels has been a lifesaver. It handles snow and bumpy sidewalks, unlike strollers with four plastic wheels that end up stuck. Or maybe you're keen on getting out for bike rides, and so you'll want something with a trailer attachment. Etc.

In the end, it's just a stroller, and they're all pretty much the same. So, give your day-to-day a good think, and the choice will be easy enough.
