Best stroller?

Hi everyone! I used to be a member when my now 4 year old twins (boy and girl) were babies. I am back again with 2 month old twin boys. So lucky! I never had a stroller I liked with my first two (I tried 3 or 4 different ones.) I am trying to find a great double stroller for my babies. Does anyone have any suggestions. I am looking at the Kolcraft Contour Options Tandem and the Sit and Stand Plus. I appreciate the feedback! Thanks, it's fun to be back!

 

I have the Valco Twin TriMode and like it, but couldn't say I love it. It's a bit heavy to lift, and can be clumsy to collapse, etc. It's very nice, though, when in use.

I've been wishing for the Baby Jogger City Mini Double instead...it looks awesome.

 

wow, twins twice! awesome!!! I use the graco duo glider and really like it. The infant seats attatch into it easily and the stroller collapses easily and fits well in the trunk of my van. Good luck!!

 

I also have the graco duoglider which works well while the twins are young, but we have just purchased a BOB and will be getting it soon - we figure that will be our stroller for the next 4 years, as its a little pricey!

I have a double SNG and the Baby Joggery Citi Mini Double. It IS pretty awesome. Small but big enough. Very lightweight and manuverable. Collapses so easily. We love it.

I looked at the Kolcraft and it is really heavy and bulky. I prefer lighter (and smaller) strollers.

 

I have the Valco trimode twin and I LOVE it. I personally don't think it's heavy or clumsy and that's even with the toddler seat attachment on but that's me. Wouldn't trade it for any other stroller. I have a duoglider which I was fine with but it comes no where near as great as the valco. Congrats on two sets!

 

I have the baby jogger city mini double also... It took me once month of research to pick one... I'm not disappointed. I wish the basket was a bit bigger, and that there was a parent/child console (you can buy some separately though), but otherwise I love it. The wheels are bigger than most strollers so it's easy to move on grass, uneven pavement etc, it's light, easy to fold and pretty compact, which were my requirements as my car has a small trunk.

 

baby jogger city mini here too. Love it. We ordered the parent console too. My only complaint is that I wish the under basket was bigger.

 

I love my Kolcraft Contours! It is so easy to maneuver, so smooth, has a HUGE storage space underneath, and the different seat arrangement options are so cool! My boys face each other right now, and they entertain each other! I never fail to hear compliments on the stroller whenever we are out.

BUT - it is VERY heavy and very bulky. It takes up the whole back of my minivan (and that's with removing the seats before collapsing). If I got pregnant again, I probably wouldn't be able to safely lift it into my van.

 

I have the Graco Quattro Tour and I really like it. It's very easy to fold and unfold and there is a lot of room underneath so it's great for when I have to go shopping and don't have a 2nd adult to help me.

 

I love my Jane Powertwin, but I wouldn't recommend it for infants. For the first year I used a double sng. The one downside of the powertwin is the small basket underneath.

Same from me! Congrats on two sets. That is pretty cool!

Wow Congratulations on all your twins! Fantastic. I have been reading this forum for a while and have only just begun to find time to join in! We have a Phil and Teds sport and it is brilliant. It sits one at the front and the other a little under behind and it is so versitile. We used a side by side until they were 5 months (8 months now) and then changed to this one. You couldnt really use the back seat till they are about 5 months. We have had so many comments using this stroller and have met several twin mums who loved it. It is so easy to use and there's no worries about fitting through doors and we have just done so much travelling through airports and it has been great. And there's lots of fun accessories you can get for it too. Would have given a link to show you but no time!

Good luck with your new bundles of joy!

 

I agree with the pp go for the Phil and Ted sport. Make due with a baby carrier then move onto this stroller. It is so much easier to get around with a single width stroller and less attention as well. I wish I had purchased this stroller. Plus it gives you the option to have just one baby in it for those odd days you get to just take one out.
