subject: On The Lookout For Cheap Double Strollers? The Web Can Help! [print this page] So youve read tons of double stroller reviews and youve made up your mind about which one you want, have you? Trouble is, man are they expensive! This is especially true if youre looking at really high end models (the City Elite Double Stroller comes to mind, or some high end double jogging strollers).
Local department stores might carry them, but youll pay a premium. Of course, the advantage there is that youll be able to physically touch and interact with it, so youll have a good idea of what youre ultimately getting.
For this reason, Id recommend starting at your local department store, just to get a hands on appraisal of whatever stroller youve got your eye on. Once youve done that though, head home and get online to see if you can find a better deal!
Id recommend starting with Amazon, because theyve got nearly every product imaginable, and often have used/refurbished items for sale at a fraction of the retail cost. You can buy with confidence from these sources, because Amazon tends to screen fairly closely, and these vendors will not want to risk their relationship with Amazon just to make a single sale, so buying from a third party through Amazon is nearly as good as buying from Amazon itself.
In a similar vein, dont forget Ebay! Their feedback and ranking system means that if your buying double strollers, or anything else from an Ebay power seller, you can buy with confidence that you wont get swindled!
Lastly, check out Craigs List, but thats more of a buyer beware site, because theyve got relatively fewer consumer protections than does Amazon or Ebay. Nonetheless, using just those three online resources, you can almost always get a top end product at superior savings. That holds true whether youre looking for the best double strollers or some new stereo equipment, or anything in between!
Of course, you can also hit local garage sales and thrift stores, but if you go this route, take the time to thoroughly check the item over before parting with your hard earned money. Nothing worse than the feeling you get when youve paid good money for something, only to get it home and find out its broken, or doesnt have some critical feature you were hoping for, or has significantly more wear and tear than you first thought.
