    We have the Peg Perego Duette with the Primo Viaggio carseats.

    We were given the Duette and bought the carseats new.

    We also have a Norditrack jogging stroller for a little later on that we were given.

    I have been contemplating buying two individual strollers for when DH and I go out together. I just think it will be easier to manage.

    Or am I going totally overboard?

    Any suggestions would be welcome.

    PS. I also like the peg perego aria side by side but shhhh, now I know I am going overboard.

    Overboard?...maybe, but that makes me obsessive!! I have 5 double strollers...3 front and backs (of different sizes)...one InStep jog/bike stroller and a side by side. Plus we have two umrella strollers and one (only recently used) single stroller. All were given to me or picked up at yard sales.

    We've also used our two backpacks and two frontpacks. Plus we have a Radio Flyer Wagon with two seats and seat belts. I think that's all. [​IMG]

    The most I have had at one time were 3... I had a Jeep limo style but it was way to bulky so I gave it to a friend, a Graco Duo glider(Limo) and a Graco Duorider(side by side). I am also thinking of getting 2 umbrella like single strollers so that on occasion we can shop sepperatly.

    We have 2 strollers, we have the snap n go for the infant car seats and we have the Valco side by side. I figured we would spent more money one one that would fit all our needs, then buying a couple different strollers.

    WE have 5 strollers and when I bought the 1st one couldn't understand "why" anyone would need more than one, LOL

    Started with the Graco Duo Glider for infant seats

    Realized how much of a monster the Duo Glider was we bought 2 of the single Snap N Go's since most of the time we went out there were at least 2 adults

    Someone gave us a Double Jogger which I like a lot for walks outside and around our property to visit relatives but it doesn't fold to very small

    Just bought a Twin Savvy Sport side by side and very happy with it so far. It doesn't have lots of storage underneath like the Duo does but I bought a mesh bag and couple of hooks and problem solved.

    We have 2. The duoglider and a SBS umbrella that my SIL gave us. I prefer the duoglider as it is easier to push and steer, IMO. It is heavy to get into the van, but it's a double stroller you have to expect that. I can do it just fine though.

    We have...
    1. The double snap-n-go, which I could not live without. It is the only stroller that I have used so far.
    2. The Duoglider - I think that will be good for shopping and stuff
    3. Side-by-side jogging stroller
    4. Two single umbrella strollers, but I also bought this thing that can snap them together. It was about $10 so I figure it couldn't hurt to try. If it doesn't work I will be buying a lightweight sid-by-side stroller

    We also have backpacks and the wagon with the two seats that flip up.

    This is so funny! Why do we all have so many strollers? So funny.

    I have 6 strollers: a Graco Travel system from my 1st born, a Snap n' go, a Peg Perego Double, a Jeep double stroller and two umbro strollers. I have stroller clips so I can clip various ones together to make a triple stoller

    I have 3 front-packs and 2 back-packs as well.

    And I use them all! Different occasions call for different things.

    We have a Duoglider, a double umbrella stroller, and one single Graco stroller. I use the single when I take one of them individually somewhere.

    That being said, we don't take them out very often. If we did, I might have gone with a second single stroller and/or a SBS. So far what we have works just great for us though.

    We have 3, the duoglider and two chicco umbrella type strollers that I lOVE! We haven't used the duopglider since I got the separate umbrella strollers. I imagine that there will be times that we need them in one stroller, but I like that the umbrella ones take up so much less space in the cargo area of our SUV. DH or I rarely venture out alone with both of them, so the separate strollers work well for us, especially now that they can ride in the buggy while shopping!

    We have a double jogger and a combi twin savvy. We also have one single Chicco umbrella stroller. Natalie has had a bit more drs/testing than Brooke has had to have and I kept borrowing one of my friends single strollers when I had to take just Natalie to the dr. But right before Natalie's surgery in May of 06 we bought the Chicco to bring with us to St. Louis for Nat's surgery. It was a godsend then, as we took her for walks around the grounds - BUT we haven't used it since!!

    Too many LOL! I have 4 doubles and 2 singles.

    1) Simo double pram - classic pram with the big white tires, like many of our moms and grandmas pushed. Navy and yellow plaid, just beautiful, had to have it [​IMG] Now I'm selling it since I got...

    2) a Valco Twin Runabout - great all-terrain stroller. Steers one handed, handles well enough for me to go shopping with. Keeping this one til my girls won't ride anymore LOL!

    3) Maclaren Twin Traveller - great umbrella fold, used it a lot for errands til I realized my back pain was from hunching to reach the handles (I'm 6'1). Getting ready to sell it.

    4) Maclaren Opus Duo - older model back when they were made in the UK instead of China. Great solidly built umbrella stroller. Handles are taller too, probably going to keep this for when the Valco is too much to deal with.

    Also have a single jogger that someone gave to us and a single Maclaren Techno Classic in pink that I bought simply because it was pink. [​IMG] It's been great tho, sometimes I do go out with just one baby, or I wear one in the wrap and push one.

    I didn't count the double snap n go since we don' use it anymore. I'm going to sell it with our carseats once Annie outgrows hers.

    Lol - now I feel so much better!! Not going as overboard as I originally thought.

    Thanks for all the feedback.

    Not enough. [​IMG]

    1 - Maclaren Twin Traveller. Lightweight, folds nicely, but didn't perform on sidewalks as well as I expected.

    2 - Mountain Buggy Urban Double. Our primary stroller. Killer on sidewalks, gravel trails, etc. Not so good for the mall, though.

    3 - Very old (like 10 years) double Baby Jogger that a friend gave us, that we have never used (but I have to count it because it's still sitting in our garage, argh).

    4 - Double Snap & Go that was awesome for the mall and the doctor's office, before they grew out of their infant carrier (though, again, not so good on sidewalks).

    5 - El cheapo single umbrella stroller ($12 at Target), for getting them in & out of daycare (Sarah rides in the stroller and I carry Amy).

    But my stroller desires are not satisfied, because I really want a decent (not super high-end, but decent) single jogger for those days when I am occasionally home with just one of them. I'm addicted to the Mountain Buggy but it feels sort of silly to push it with just one child in it!

    Am I the only one that only has one??? [​IMG] So far it is all we have needed (the Duoglider), but undoubtedly that will soon change! [​IMG]

    you aren't the only one...I have just one too (duo-glider)

    We have
    Graco duoglider - Great for the beginning and we used it for a while for walks around the block...hated it for the mall.

    Double umbrella Kolkraft - TOO wide to fit nicely through most doorways but good for older kids at parks and stuff. Don't recommend it though!

    InStep Mall Cruiser - LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Double jogger with swivel wheel and VERY affordable! The only thing I would change about it is I wish the seats would sit up more. Kids love it AND it has a front "shelf" that sits over the front wheel where a preschooler can sit! My 4 yr old loves it! Fits through doorways just fine! Great at the mall (hence the name). We also brought it to Disney and it was GREAT!

    Bike Trailer/double stroller - Great for bike rides and for long walks

    Two single umbrellas - Don't really use them anymore...

    Think thats it!

    Just got rid of the Double Snap N Go. They outgrew it.
    But now moving onto the Graco duo glider, also have a Jeep umbrella SBS and two individual Avalon umbrella strollers.
    Lately I find myself taking the shopping cart cover and just putting them in the carts if I go anywhere to shop now. Or putting one in my snugli and the other in the cart.
    I guess it just depends on what we're doing.

    1. We had and loved the snap-n-go and were sad to see it go when they outgrew their infant seats last summer.

    2. Yakima double jogger-mostly for DH since the parks I walk at are nicely paved but he jogs to the park on gravel shoulders.

    3. Combi Twin Savvy EX-love it and use it almost all of the time.

    4. A single Kolcraft stroller for the days DH or I go out with just one baby.

    5. We also had a Peg Duette but sold it since it took up sooo much space in the van and wouldn't go in the car at all.

    So, had five at one time last summer but we are now down to just 3!

    It is funny to have this many but, I have the Metropolitan and the Green Gingham Duoglider. 2 Kolcraft side-by-sides, 3 singles and I just gave away the an Eddie Bauer double it was just too heavy.

    I just have 2:

    The duo-glider - they still fit into their snugride carseats so I just snap them in the duoglider when we go on errands, etc...

    The BOB Revolution Dualie - for when we go on walks (which is every day for us!!), to the zoo, when my husband jogs with them...etc...

    We have the Twin Savvy in the SUV, a double jogger in the entry for walks around the 'hood and the Jeep (pink and blue) single strollers. We bought the singles because we went on a cruise last month and were told that side by sides wouldn't fit down the hallways. We also bought that adapter for the singles that makes them a double.
