We brought 2 strollers when we went down in June, ds was 16 months, definitely needed it, and dd was just about 6 yrs old. We had the big stroller for ds and brought a reclining lightweight stroller for dd. It worked out perfectly. DH and I were talking about our next trip in May and wondering if we should still bring 2 strollers and he said that yes, we should bring both. Luckily dd is small for her age, she is 41 1/4 inches tall and she is 36 lbs. Most people won't look at us strange, but we know that soon we will have to stop bringing a stroller for her. I dread that day! I love having the stroller. At least ds will be in the stroller for a while.
