Confused Looking for advice from moms with rsd and young children

I need some advice on a good stroller that I can use for a newborn and 2 1/2 yr old. I have rsd in my left leg that is starting to spread to the right, so it needs to be easy to push and support me and the little men in my life. I can't afford the expensive double strollers out there. It also needs to accommodate a diaper bag my cane and the extras I need to bring along. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I don't know what the best ones are and it's been a long time since I've used a stroller but I had a Graco stroller for my son when he was little which was 20 years ago. I would look on consumer reports online for strollers and which are the safest and best ones to use. I have to say I loved my Graco stroller for my son. I got it as a baby shower gift from his Godparents and I remember it having a little sunroof. He loved looking up at me and smiled when he looked through that sunroof. Ah the memories. Anyway, I hope you can find something affordable and that meets your needs. Take care.

Are you on a mom's list? I'd go there first. Just make sure you can open and close it with one hand. There are a lot out there that are nice, light and can do the job better then the ones with the bells and whistles.

I'm past baby years too, but I sure wish I could help! I only have my G. daughter on occasion so I can't imagine what an everyday struggle you have!

I know ebay now has ebay classifieds which is local for your area only so there's no shipping involved and maybe due to your condition a seller would negotiate better. I sure would!

My main thinngs are ease of use, my children's comfort and won't make me push too hard to move it. Ive been looking more toward the Graco ready 2 grow that both boys will fit in. Its not a bells and whistles one but it has some noce features I like. The back seat can either be used for my new baby's car seat, as a regular seat for my 2 ur old, a jump seat or standing platform. My youngest one's car seat can go on either. My biggest concern as stated is pushing the silly thing. I don't have the muscle in my legs to push a stroller that doesn't want to move. Also the fact that I need a cane so it needs to support my weight. This was the best place for me to ask this and hope someone had an answer. I think I need to go test drive some strollers and see what works best for me.
