What qualities are you looking for in a Sit n Stand stroller? Do you want the baby in back and the toddler in front? Or do you want the baby in front and the standing child in back? Do you need a stroller that is car seat compatible? Do you want an umbrella style shade for the child who is standing, or not? Does your older child need the option to sit also? Once you answer these questions you are well on your way to deciding what you need to look for. Now you need to check out the brands that you like and see if the strollers they offer meet all your requirements. Another thing to consider when looking for a stroller is "one hand folding", as you know with more than one child you rarely have one free hand, let alone two (and sometimes a free foot). Now you have to decide what your price range is and if the Sit n Stand stroller you want is in your price range. One other thing you have to remember to check is the weight limit for the strollers. Some of them are up to 90 pounds, but some were for 18-24 months only. Also check to see if the strollers recline the way you want them too, some recline all the way, some only partially.
For instance, say you want a Sit n Stand stroller that allows the baby to be in front, has a shade for both children, and gives your older child the option of having a seat when you are going to a place where they won't want to stand the whole time. And your price range is $130.00 to $175.00. Now that you have an idea of what you want, you go online and look for Sit n Stand stroller reviews and look for strollers that meet your criteria. You will find that this is an easy way to start. Then when you identify several strollers that seem to meet your needs, you can read reviews on them by going to google and typing in "Sit n Stand Stroller Reviews".
By searching ebay for a Sit n Stand Stroller that fit the above requirements, I found several that fit my requirements so I then started comparing those that met the requirements to see what other features they offered that I hadn't searched for. You can compare the strollers by clicking the box at the left side of the items and it will allow you to do a side-by-side comparison online. You can then click on the item you want and it will tell you where you can buy the stroller and whether or not it is carried in store or just online.
Once you have a few choices, you can either buy them sight unseen online, or go to the physical store and check them out in person. Some stores only carry them online though so you are unable to check them out in person. This makes reading the reviews much more important because you can read what other parents thought of it. The reviews tell you things that you won't know just from going to the store and sitting your child in it for a few minutes. They tell you things like how easy it is to push on different terrains, if the basket is large enough to hold your diaper bag or just enough to be in the way. They tell you how easy it really is to fold or if it really can be done with one hand.
It appears that Baby Trend offers the most choices for a Sit n Stand Stroller and the prices range from around $95.00 to $220.00. Of course the cheaper ones don't have all the bells and whistles that the more expensive ones have, but they are affordable on most budgets. If you are going to go to the physical store make sure you write down the prices you found online so you can get the best deal, but don't forget about shipping and handling.
