Hi Moms.. Ok I'm a grandma to an active 11 month old Grandson.. who is soon to be a big brother..rather unexpectedly. Mommy is due in mid Dec..but just found out recently. MOST of the stuff she has for my Grandson ..will be pressed into service again real soon. An extra crib and dresser will be available to her in time for Grandson #2. But the strollers.. are for 1 baby. We'll need a twin type.. any one have an extra in decent condition? Although we haven't got any spare money. We make do. ( please be fair with a price) Right now we have even had to trade vehicles..( play musical cars if you will) to accomidate baby with a back seated vehicle. I'll need to find another pack 'n 'play too.. for naps and overnights at my house.I do babysitting while Mom and Dad work..so I find haveing a spare everything at my house , easier than schleping big stuff around daily. And I LOVE walking the baby around with the stroller...for miles. He loves it too. We stay busy.. parks..swimming..and just walking. Now it will be double the fun... Any help or advice is welcome. My advice to you young moms out there.. Don't rely on just the pill, and Drug store Preg.tests are USUALLY pretty good..but aren't perfect.. so if you feel somethings wierd.. go to your doctor.

If you need more stuff, definately try freecycle, freesources groups.
It's a recycling site where people give stuff away for FREE, and you can get rid of your old stuff. You can get a lot of good stuff for free. It's a group set up to save the environment by saving all these used items from going into the lanfills. You can save money at the same time if you don't mind getting used stuff. You get the messages sent to your email, if you're interested - reply to that person, set up pick up time and place, and pick up. People give away everything from baby stuff, clothes, shoes, halloween costumes to furniture, appliances and everything in between. There is no limit.
Go to freecycle.org, then search for freecycle, freesources groups in towns in your area. Just type in your town, request to join, wait for approval and have fun.

Hi A. - I wish I had seen your post earlier today. I see that you live in Berwyn and I saw a great double stroller for sale at a yard sale in Oak Park today that the people were practically giving away. Anyway, I was going to mention yard sales in Oak Park, as for the most part, I have realized that people around here are much more interested in getting stuff out of their basements and garages than they are in making a lot of money off their yard sales. What I do when I go yard sale shopping is to look on Craig's List on Friday nights under garage sales and map out a route and get a super early start. Also, while you may get the best stuff early, you'd be amazed at what you can still get around the time when the sales end and people don't want to cart their stuff back inside. Best of luck!

Hi, congratulations to you.... You sound like such a wonderful grandma!!! My children are blessed with 2 sets of wonderful grandparents!!!

Anyway, you should join freecycle in your area, and request the double stroller and the pack n play. It is a wonderful site. I have gotten some great things, and I have given some things that were not useful to me, but were to someone else!

The best of luck to you!!!

I have a Duo Glider Graco double which the car seat can snap into...very handy. I only used it for 2 years, it's black and a gray/silver color. Very nice, not perfect, but very good. I think the color is Metropolitan if you want to look it up.

Hi-I was inducted into the Grandma Club 7 years ago and am now the proud grandma of 3. I don't have a stroller for you because my daughter left hers outside for months...but I would strongly recommend 2 websites: Craig's List and Freecycle. Craig's List useres sometimes charge for items rather than just donating. i personally prefer Freecycle because it simply either posts for items wanted or items offered FREE(which keeps things out of landfills and in homes where needed!) i wish you all the best.

I have a double Peg Perego that I bought for $69 used. I would be willing to give it to you for $40 if you are interested.
