Decisions, Decisions.......

I need help!
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine I would need to purchase a DOUBLE STROLLER. But, with baby #2 on the way and 2 1/2 year-old Olive clinging to my side, I'll admit it. I need one.

I have casually looked on-line, but the majority of my research has been at the ultimate, stroller durability testing site on the west coast: Disneyland.

I will see something I like and simply ask the person,"Do you like your stroller?" The results of my field study have so far been productive. I know what my needs are:

* A good amount of storage
* Something that doesn't weigh more than me
* One that is reasonably priced. (I'm not talking "Blue Light Special", but on the other hand, I don't want to have to cash out my Trader Joe's retirement fund to foot the bill.)
* Very durable and safe.

What I am asking of you, my fellow bloggers and mothers, is to help me out. I need both positive and negative feedback on what kind of stroller you have, wish you had, or are happy you do not have. I would be forever grateful.

The following are some practical strollers I have looked into:

The Combi Double Stroller:


The Graco Duo Glider:


The Baby Planet Unity Sport Twin:


Now, this is where I really get confused.

Do I really want a practical stroller or do I want to "WOW" my friends and neighbors and be the first one on my block with this baby:


Or this stroller with it's special circus unicycle attachment that if purchased now, would be very handy. Olive could sit in the stroller part, I could sit on the circus apparatus and Rob could push us! Oh, shopping and Disneyland would be such a breeze!


Which brings me to my next question.
I am almost six months pregnant and "carrying very low", to quote my doctor. Walking around for long periods of time, like 5 minutes, is really taking its toll on my ever expanding body. I think it would be wise for me to invest in a little "assistance" to make life a bit easier and more comfortable. So, once again , I need your opinion.

Which Jazzy Scooter should I buy?

The smooth and sleek model:


Or, the Original Jazzy:

Thank you, in advance, for all of your time and crucial opinions.
