Husband: Um (preoccupied with basketball game on tv).
Husband: Oh yeah.
Husband: Yeah.
Me (with a bit more supporting argument): And there may be times wearing the baby in the carrier won't work.
Husband: Yeah, you're probably right.
Husband: Yeah, sounds neat.
Me (in a rookie-like mistake as I look at awesome stroller's price tag for the first time and shout out, forgetting who I'm trying to convince): What! It's almost $400.00!
Husband (suddenly paying much more attention and actually turning head from said game to reinforce words with eye contact): No.
Me (trying to recover): But what if I want to take all three out for a walk?
Husband (in all seriousness): Why would you want to do that?
Me: But -
Husband: Go outside, just don't walk.
Me: But -
Husband: Use the stroller we already have.
Me: But -
Husband: Buy some roller skates for Charlotte and teach her to hold on.

I realize this is definitely not a need, rather a pregnant woman's nesting instinct wanting to prepare for her new birdy when we really already have everything we need.
But, it'd be a great workout (the stroller itself weighs 55 lbs., plus the two kiddos we have now weigh almost that much combined, by the time you add a third I'd be pushing some great weights). And, if there were a fourth in the future we'd be set.
I'm kidding people. But . . .

Try Ebay....you never know how cheap you could get it. We got our Valco Tri Mode Twin on Ebay, brand new for almost half the cost....the seller said it had a tiny scratch on it so they couldn't sell it in the store. When we got it, there wasn't a scratch on it.
Hilarious! Zach and I laughed about this conversation...and picturing Charlotte #1 on roller skates and #2 behind a stroller! :) Love it! I got my double on Craigslist.....give it a shot!! :) I think you definitely NEED it. If mommy isn't happy, nobody is happy! :)
our double jogger was bought at a garage sale and is awesome - i'm definately going to keep my eyes open on ebay/craigslist.
"Teach her to hold on", hahaha, love it.
So something I would think of. However, that 55 lbs of weight would just deter me from it completely. I like light!
