Double Stroller?

Does anyone have any recommendations on a good double stroller. It seems all that I look at are for toddler/baby. Any suggestions?

 

How old are you twins? Are you looking for Side by Side/Jogging/Front-Back??

They are 3 months old, preferrably a front/back.

 

I have the graco duoglider and I really like it. I has worked well for us. and the graco snugride carseats click into it.

 

I have the Graco Quattro Duo & love it. It is BIG and a little on the heavy side, but it has worked wonderful for us (and still does).
I used my Graco SafeSeats with it (and still do at 7 months!). The girls like being in their car seats while we are shopping instead of sitting in the actual stroller seats I think they still like looking at Mommy instead of all the other people :blush:
I also just got - yesterday! - the Combi Twin Savvy Side By Side which seems awesome, haven't tested it out besides in my driveway!
I think they will LOVE both being in front!

We have the Graco Quatro Tour Duo and really like it - we can clip both carseats it, it maneuvers well, folds easily, etc.

 

i have Peg Perego Duette SW, and love it... i can snap in their car seats and the steering wheel makes it easy to carry the baby who decided he didn’t want to go to the mall and push the other... i plan on getting a side by side jogging stroller as well... but I’ve gone out with a friend who has the side by side and her twins... couldn’t get around any rounder’s at the mall...

When they were young and in the carseats I had the Duoglider (Graco). Then once they were sitting in the stroller I had one that never liked being in the back so I bought the Combi Twin Savvy SBS. Love that. Nice and lightweight and easy in, easy out of the trunk.

Now I do have a stroller fettish and I have a Valco Twin Trimode that is my favorite. It is heavy, a bit pricey, and a SBS jogger, but its the best out of the 3 IMO! Good luck with your search.

 

I have the Mountain Buggy Urban and I *love* it! Worth every penny! Very durable. I highly recommend!

 

Another Graco Quattro Tour here - mine are 9 months old and we still use it just about every day with the car seats. (it's easiest that way when we're only going a short distance). We love our Quattro Tour - it's so easy to fold.

 

I had the Graco Duo Glide for their first year and it worked well. I liked that I could snap the car seats right in and the huge basket underneath. When the kids got bigger though it became much more difficult to steer and the one in the back kept kicking the one in the front. Plus, that thing weighs a ton!
Now I have a Baby Jogger City Mini and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!! It's wonderful and I can't gush about it enough! It's a SBS and the seats recline individualy (on an adjustable strap for any angle!). it weighs only 26 lbs, steers on a dime, has extended sun canopies for extra shade (even has windows with flaps you can roll up so you can see each other!) and has 3 storage bags (the one underneath is a little difficult to get to, but there is one on the back of each seat as well.) The harness straps are adjustable to the height of your child and can hold up to 50 lbs in each seat. It's also narrow enough to get through all standard size doors. It folds and stores like a dream, too. There are straps in the middle of each seat in the front that you just pull and the whole thing collapses in on itself to no thicker than 8 inches or so. It's so much faster to get out and put away.
It is a bit pricier, so we asked for their 1st birthday for family and close friends to put money towards gift cards for us to buy them. We still had to put in about $100 (it cost around $400 new) but I couldn't be happier with the purchase.

We use the snap n go! I love it!

 

another one with the Graco DuoGlider and the carseats can click into it... been working for us so far

 

I am doing a stroller test for Kolcraft using their Countours Options Tandem... I have to say I am in LOVE! You can get this stroller with 2 infant seat adaptors so you can use it w/ 2 car seats and the seats can be arranged in any way you like... Personally, I love facing them toward each other... The recline is not a flat recline, but it is basically like a cradle swing (like the Nature's Touch by Fisher Price) you could definately put an infant in the stroller seat itself. I will say it is heavy, but i have a duo glider also, which I hate by the way, and it is just as heavy. It will also work on many different terrains as the back wheels are 10" and the front are 8" I have used mine in the park, in stores, in the doctor's office and it is super easy to manuver and if you have any older children there are big kid handles on the sides for them to hold so they don't wander too far! I think the stroller is about 200.00 at BRU which is about average for a double. By the way, I also have a BOB, which I love, but it is not good for stores or small areas. I have actually had to remove a wheel to get through doors, not an easy task. I use the BOB on walks and on rough terrain, and though I LOVE it I will say if I had tested this first I would not have gotten the BOB since I am not actually using it to run... If you are a runner, however, you need to get a BOB! I also had a Double Snap-n-go which is Awesome, but once they are not in infant seats anymore then you need a new stroller... I hated to retire mine, but it was definately time!

 

I also have the Kolcraft Contours Options Tandem. Its great and under $200. I purchased it because its stadium style seating so they are both able to see the same things without being blocked by the twin in front.

 

I had no complaints about my duoglider. I think it's a perfectly good stroller. Then I had to get a valco trimode out of necessity and I love that beyond words. I only used the duoglider for a few months they were still in infant seats so I don't know if I would have loved them tandem and not side by side.

 

If you have the Graco Snugride carseats, you can clip both of those into the Graco Duoglider. I loved that stroller and we used it until just past 3 years.

 

I have the DuoGlider, DH and I both love it. We are out of the car and on our way in less than 2 minutes now!

I have this stroller too and like it a lot as well

 

I also have the Graco Duoglider. I love it. I wantedd a stroller that would hold both car seats. If you have the Graco Snugrides they fit into it perfectly. Would not leave the house without it!!!!!

 

have the snap n go for now, but finally breaking out our side-by-side (inglesina twin swift-- it's looooovely!), after having gone thru the stroller-process w/ ds1, we knew we wanted to get into a more "umbrella-like" stroller as soon as we could- the inglesina reclines fairly well, very sturdy, nice canopy/shade cover, folds up well, not too heavy-- anyhow- that's my vote

 

The double snap n go is about 99 dollars, has a great under-storage compartment, and nice drink holders for mom. We'll use it until they're no longer in their infant carseats. I have heard great things about the contours though, and it is definitely cuter than the SNG. We are most likely getting the Combi Twin Savvy or Baby Jogger City Mini Double once they are out of their infant seats.

 

I have the Graco Duoglider and love it for the fact that you can snap the carseats into it. Makes traveling much easier and the babies prefer being in the carseat then in the stroller. We are looking into a jogging stroller, something a little lighter, the duoglider is heavy! But I would still recommend the duoglider!

 

I liked my Snap N Go for when they were younger. The DuoGlider was just WAY TOO HEAVY and BIG! The Snap N Go frame is wonderful!

 

We also have the Graco Quatro Tour Duo II, which we love, but I do plan on getting a lighter weight SBS for when they go to the park and such. I've been eyeing a Combi Savy and a second hand store, really good condition, but I can't justify spending the money yet as they are still so little.

 

I have the double snap n go. I feel it's getting too heavy and hard to steer (boys are 3 mo. old). I just bought the Maclaren Twin Triumph after lots of research. It's fantastic!
