Stroller Option Help

I am debating over a dble jogging stroller or a bike/trailer combo so I am going to ask the www. Here is the info: l could use as much help as possible. If you have opinions or thoughts please leave them or pass this along to anyone that can help We live in an area of town that allows us to walk to produce stands, grocery and drugs stores, restaurants, parks and events. I can load a stroller and get 1/2 way to our destination quicker than loading 2 kids in car seats and waiting for traffic, parking and unloading 2 kids out of car seats. If I got a bike/trailer combo, I could go to the beaches and other areas/events of town that are a bit farther to walk to but not too far to bike to. (i am afraid that walking could take more time than the kids would tolerate)

  • I estimate that either choice will equally be about the same monetary commitment.

  • How hard is it to pull the kids around in a trailer (my kids only weigh 46 lbs together)

  • If I get a bike trailer I want one that can be used as a stroller once I get someplace some times - Is this practical?

  • What are downfalls or drawbacks I should know about if you have either.

  • What brands to you suggest/not suggest

What else to Do need to consider?

I have no idea, but my opinion on strollers are that they are something we use A LOT, so spend the money to get the nice one. From the little I know about it, I'd get that bike stroller thing you showed me.

We don't jog so we didn't ever get a jogging stroller. For something that takes up so much room, it didn't seem worth it to me. We have a regular stroller and a umbrealla one. For the bike however, I did TONS of research. The trailers are not good for the kids for a variety of reasons. A. They are plastic and make the kids super hot in there - yes even with the mesh. B. The bike kicks rocks and dirt straight into their little faces - yes even with the mesh in there. The best option - the one we have and ADORE - is called iBert Safe-T-Seat. It was created by a mom and dad who know what's up! We LOVE it. And Miles can see what's going on around him and not just stare at the back of Daddy's head! :)
