I invested big $ for the Eddie Baurer Tandem stroller and right now it is collecting dust in my basement. It was way to heavy and hard to steer. I finally got the Evenflo tandum stroller at Target for $89 and LOVE it. My 3 yr old prefers to walk most of the time too, but I also want a spot for him to sit when I need him too. Our 1 yr old fits great in the front. It's a great stroller for quick trips or walks. The bummer is that it doesn't have a parent tray or a second tray in the back for snacks.
Good luck!
