advice in double stroller

I am new at this forum, usually I posted in expecting twins forum. I am 6 months pregnant and i am looking for a stroller. On the baby stores they don't have a large variety that we can choose but on internet we can find many models but i am afraid to buy it without seen it!
I saw this ones on amazon! Does anybody have one like this or can advice me?

number one

number 2

numer 3


number 4

 

I have the Graco Duoglide, which is the lower version of choice #4. I wish I'd researched a little more before buying, because that Quattro looks awesome! That's my vote, anyway.

 

What kind of carseats are you getting? There are a few strollers that are compatible with car seats, the Graco Quattro is compatible with the Graco seats, the Double Snap and Go are compatible with several types of seats I believe.

I had an older Graco tandem with Graco car seats and that worked out nicely however, it was bulky and didn't hang out nicely in my trunk.

 

I have the Graco Double Quattro Tour and love it. However I highly recommend buying the Graco car seats to go along with it. You can snap them in the stroller. If you're not buying the Graco car seats then you will want to use the Double Snap & Go for a while. The Graco is a great stroller but the front seat doesn't recline far enough back for a small infant. It's not until they reach 4-5mos before it's easy to put them in that seat.

 

I like Graco! Actually my daughter's stroller was a graco and the car seat, too. The car seats that I have are Graco!

 

That's perfect. Since you have Graco seats already I would go with the Graco Double Quattro Tour. I'm not going to lie it's hefty but it's a nice solid stroller. It also folds pretty compact for a double. If you buy it through BabiesRUs you can buy the extra one year warrenty through them and if anything happens to it you can get your money back. It's worth it when it comes to strollers. Just watch for some free shipping codes for them. Right now I believe they have spend $100 and get $20 free in shipping. Not sure how much it costs for it to ship. I bought mine in store at BRU.

 

Check on walmart website. If it has it (I'm pretty sure it does), its always cheap. Plus you can choose free ship to store. You just come and pick it up. We checked babyrus, target,.. Nowhere can beat walmart price. I know walmart has graco quattro. Good luck! Its a good one. But if you take the twins out yourself. Its a bit work. We have 2 strollers: graco and jeep compact. I love the jeep.its light but has good support. We use it since the twins were 2 months until now. Its good for groceries shopping.to be honest, we have been using jeep more than graco though.

 

I have the city select. They don't give them away but well worth the money.

 

I went with the simple Baby Trend Double Snap & Go that fit the Graco SafeSeat's that we had. I LOVED that stroller... mainly b/c it was lightweight and fit in the back of my car. none of the tandem strollers would fit in our car.

anyway, definitely get something that two infant carriers will fit in.

after we finally moved from the carriers at 20 months! (yep we were still in them at 20 months!) we went into a side-by-side. I like that they are side-by-side and each have the same view. but I'll be honest shopping isn't quite as easy w/a side-by-side. if you can fit the stroller down the aisle then the kids are way too close to the stuff and they start pulling things off the shelves.

anyway, if you go with one of the strollers you found, I don't have any opinions, though I will say that I loved being able to face my twins towards each other so that's a neat option with the ones that do that. (I was able to face the SafeSeat's towards each other in the DSNG - you're not supposed to, but with those seats you could, you just had to reallly use the strap on the one nearest to you.)

 

I do think the ones where you can have the kids look at each other is pretty neat. But if you already have Graco infant seats, then I would definitely go with the Graco one. We had the Duoglider for the boys and I had no complaints. I really don't know of a double stroller that isn't big and bulky. LOL!

 

I had the Graco Quattro Tour and it is a luxurious stroller, however, it is very heavy and bulky and I became frustrated with that. I used it when they were little in carseats and that was handy, but I really wish I had known about the double snap n go. It is a lightweight frame that the car seats clip into. Many say that you have to move to another stroller once you stop using the car seats and that is true, however, it is about $150 cheaper than the Quattro and you can find them even cheaper on eBay, Craigslist, etc. I eventually got rid of the Quattro - it was bulky to store, a pain to put in my trunk of my SUV and then I couldn't take anything else sizable in my car with it in there. Also, no girl ever wanted to sit in the back seat of the stroller. I got an umbrella side by side and have been thrilled with it. I think it depends on your kids also. Mine are not stroller sleepers (unfortunately) so the one stuck in the back was frustrated constantly at not being able to see in front of her. Now, if they loved the Quattro then I would probably still have it - the tandems seem to be more equipped comfort-wise than the side by sides. I think you have to look at what are you going to use it for...just short trips here and there or long days shopping,etc. I really only ever made short trips and in my opinion the Quattro was too much stroller for that. I walk the park a lot and my jogging stroller was the best thing for me. So many variables and in hindsight one of the more difficult decisions. Good luck to you!

 

I have the Contours Options Tandem Stroller - Ruby and I love it!!

We originally had the Baby Trend Double Snap & Go but I had the Baby Trend car seats and I hated them. They were super heavy to lug in and out of the car, the bar was not easy to move around and the belts were hard to harness. The harness they have sucks and I was so unhappy that I returned it after two months. And that was with my husband telling me that whole time that it would get easier. Not.

Anyway, we bought this stroller and it has been great. It is super maneuverable and it is not too bad to put in the van. The seats actually come off so the frame is easy to carry. Also, the seats can face forward or backward and they also tilt at 3 different angles. This is great because I always lay my babies almost flat since they're small and I don't feel like they are hanging too much. Their little heads don't hang to the side and they sleep just fine in it. The shade has a velcro to hold it in place but you can also pivot that without changing the seat around. The long basket in the bottom is great to stick all kinds of things in. Also, I have a 3 year old and the stroller has the thick handles on the side that older kids can hold on to.

I do have to mention that we bought the type of carseat that does not come out of the car (instead of the infant car seats). It was a little more money but definitely worth it because the carseat is like a cocoon and it's perfect for the babies to just lay there. The sides are super soft and it's cushiony all around. For this reason, you can't just take the carseat out and place it on the stroller. But after the hassle with the Baby Trend carseats, it has worked out just fine for me.

By the way, I bought this stroller at Burlington Coat Factory.
