FWIW, I did when I was looking, and found that any of the bike shops were pretty close in price to each other. The best deal I found at the time was Sport Swap but now that I think about it, I wonder if it's because I had a 10% off coupon or something. They might have been the same price as the others without that.

For what it's worth ... I found that since they hold their resale value, it made it easier for me to swallow the pricetag of new. They are also, IMO, worth the price. The build quality is just that much better than others, they are really extensible (bike carrier, jogger, stroller).

Mine is the double-wide which IMO makes it a bit impractical for a stroller but had I know that they can work as a stroller even for infants (toddlers I knew for sure, but I guess there's a sling kit you can get for newborns), I would have just not bothered with a stroller and put the money towards this instead (and maybe just gotten the single, but I dunno, if you can handle the fact that it's a tiny bit wide, it's perfectly fine as a stroller). Our stroller has about had the biscuit, we had to buy a new one, but the Chariot is still going strong.

Also with some of the others that convert into joggers, I found that if there's a single arm for the front wheel assembly, then the asymmetry of it gives it a tendency to lean/steer in the affected side, which .. kind of sucks. The Chariot as a jogger runs nice and straight and smooth.

Dunno if this helps. It's not the "here's how you can buy it cheaper" you might have been hoping for, but FWIW, it's a "here's how you can feel better about the price" sort of thing.
