    I have a Peg Perego side by side. A few times I used my sister's duoglider and I love it. The babies love it too. I want to buy one off craigslist. Not that I really need another stroller, but hey, I gotta push it so I might as well have fun right? Is the duoglider good when the babies get to be toddlers? Or should I just forget it and stick with what I have?

    Side by side hands down! I sold my tandem stroller when the boys were about 19 months as they would fight over who got to sit in the front! Then kick and pull hair. :angry: So I got a double umbrella side by side and its been bliss ever since! They are lighter too and fold up so compactly. The only thing I dont like about my Inglesina is the flimsy backets. But I bought a stroller bag that clips onto the handles and that helps tremendously! Oh andmake sure it is no wider than 29 so it can fit through standard doorways. I got a jeep double umbrella and either I am that clutsy as it would not fit through the doorways w/out much stress. The inglesina and maclauren i borrowed did well. The chicco is just an inch or two too wide too :eek:

    I used my DuoGlider until my boys were 3. It was pretty much the only stroller we ever used. I loved it!

    We had the Duoglider until the boys were 3 and it was ok, but in the end (due to the length and that one of my boys is very big and rather heavy and even the smallest toddler is just not a light weight anymore) I had problems getting it up to put the buggy on the pavement for example. They did fight, but since one boy was much smaller it was clear that he had to sit in the front so he could see and make my job easier. However hair pulling, kicking each other, hitting heads, happened.
    They loved a borrowed side by side (also the Graco... Duorider I think it was called) we had, but it broke when they were 2 (seemed to break due to the weight). And I felt it was too wide!!

    I always use my duoglide.....I hate the side by side....when we use it we can't fit anywhere.

    I have the duoglide, but I already foresee a problem with the hind boy kicking the front seat :wacko:
