Thanks everyone for your help. I really was so clueless about this all. I didn't realize there was a name "tandem" for what I actually wanted.

I just got back from a walk (it's a beautiful day) using the new Joovy Ultralight. I took my husband to take a look and he decided it was a good plan for the times when it's me with the boys.

I have the baby carrier in it, it handled well. Right now my son can't sit as comfortably with the carrier, but standing is fine. He loved being able to take a break, look in on the baby, etc. It handles well, folds up pretty easily, but really sturdy. And I was able to push without a struggle, with one or two of the boys on the stroller.

I'm thrilled -- and now I'm ready to tackles some summer visiting and sightseeing. DC anyone?

The Joovy looks just like the Sit and Stand. Is it just lighter?

I am glad you found something that works! I used my Sit and Stand last weekend and it was great. Even my 4 yr old could push the baby and 2 yr old.

Hmmm. I actually didn't look at a Sit 'n Stand in person. I read reviews and compared some of the "statistics" but I don't know about height. The "footprint" is shorter, and it's lighter, at 21 pounds. Those were key to me, as I've never done a double stroller before, and our other strollers are extremely light. I'm pleased, which is important, as I hate regretting my decisions...since I take so long (i.e. agonize over) making them.

Oh, I know those agonizing decisions!!!

I didn't mean to make you second guess. I was just wondering at the difference. After my double strollers, just about anything feels light to me!

I am glad you are pleased. Now you can take on the summer.
