[blparent] double strollers? (child locators)

Hey Jo Elizabeth,

I have been looking for this exact thing. At first I was thinking about 
using one of the key finders, but can't find it anywhere. I thought this 
type of thing would be great for when we r at family events, and Brianna is 
playing with all her cousins. She is getting the hang of answering us when 
she is called, but a lot of times she will stop playing and come to us. I 
was thinking that if we just wanted to make sure she was where she is 
suppose to be without bothering her we could use something like the kid 
finder. I will have to look on amazon.com for this item.

>>I have never seen these strollers, but am curious if they have a seat
