Joovy Sit N Stand LX Review

With two children, a double stroller may not be a necessity, but it certainly can be indeispensible in many situations.  However, I had always been opposed to getting a double stroller because they are so bulky and difficult to navigate in certain situations such as narrow store aisles.  

After some research,  I decided that a double stroller would be useful for my family when we go to outdoor events or fesitvals and family walks.  I wanted something that would be compact and affordable.  This troller fit the bill for me as it is a bit smaller than most other styles of double stroller so I don't feel like I'm pushing a tank around the store.  My daughter, who is 3, loves to hang off the end of shopping carts, so I thought she would love being able to stand on a stroller.  I like that she has the optino to sit or stand.  The stroller also come with an adapter so that an infant carrier can be placed in the front seat and any infant carrier can be placed in the seat.  I feel that the stroller manuevers pretty smoothly and turns well. 

While I do love my stroller, there are some downsides to it.  It doesn't have a parent tray.  However, there are accessory kits that can be purchased to add a tray, clips for water bottles, or an extra storage bag.  The child riding in the rear doesn't have much room to sit when using the infant carrier in the front, but once the younger child is able to sit in the seat the child in the back will have plenty of sitting room.  The stroller takes a bit longer to set up when using the infant carrier adapter, thus using it for a quick trip to the grocery store may not be convenient.  I don't use my stroller for short trips, but I feel it worth the extra effort when I am going somewhere for a longer period of time.  The stroller is also bulky, but any double stroller would be that way.  I drive a 4 door sedan and the stroller takes up my entire trunk space.
