Sit & Stand

With Christmas shopping season, I realize it is now time to ditch my double stroller & opt for a more compact, lightweight sit & stand for my 2 & 1 year old boys.
Any advice on the best? I'd also love to buy one second hand in the Chicago area (prefer south subs, but would travel) if anyone has one.
Thanks!

What can I do next?

We keep getting new strollers as our boys get older - my husband thinks it's a little out of control :) We got a sit 'n stand last year, and it's definitely more difficult to steer than our side-by-side double (Baby Jogger City Mini). With the crowds during holiday shopping season, a sit 'n stand will be difficult to steer, especially when it gets weighed down with packages. You might want to go with a lightweight double umbrella stroller, like Chicco or maybe Combi since your oldest is still a good size for either of these.

I don't have one to sell but we love our Joovy Caboose. It is lightweight and great for our almost one year old and 4 year old that sometimes likes to ride. My only complaint is that it does not have a lot of storage at the bottom. Other than that, it's wonderful. Good luck!

I've got one, and I don't know if they are any more lightweight than a double stroller. We do like it other than it's not the easiest to steer, but are any? Anyway, it has a huge basket underneath, but it's a little hard to get to sometimes. I like the parent tray enough. Older kid loves getting in and out whenever he wants. It's heavy, and with the sunshade, it just barely fits in and out of the hatch of my station wagon.

I have this one - (not selling):

If you go with the the suggestion of getting a side by side, another awesome brand is Maclaren, and I have seen a ton of used double ones on Craigslist.
