    Okay the twins just turned a year old but already I have bought and sold a Joovy caboose, Graco Quattro and a Baby Trend jogger. All were tooo big and heavy! I am kind of small and need something light weight that will fit through a stinking door! Geez is that so much to ask for!! I am leaning towards buying a combi side by side. If you have a stroller that you like that is not huge! and preferable around $200-$250 can you let me know what it is.
    Thanks!!

    We have the MacLaren Twin Traveler and I LOVE it. It's really lightweight and folds up super easily. We bought it off craigslist for $100 and it's an older model, like 2005? Anyway, it is very much in "used" condition, but I like it so much, I may buy a newer one within the next year. I just need to sell off the Kolcraft Contour.

    I don't know if the Traveler model is closer to the current Techno or Triumph, but it has many of the features, and the same ease of use.

    Combi twin SBS fan here! :D Love mine, use it all the time, everytime we go out of the house! Easy to fold and lift into the back of my Yukon XL, fits through any doorway that's wheelchair accessible, as long as you hit it straight, don't try to turn as you go in the doorway or the wheels in the front rotate sideways. Other than that, I love mine!

    The lightest stroller out there is the Jeep SBS, but I don't recommend it. It only has a 3 pt harness and the kids try to touch the wheels constantly. I just got a Combi SBS from a wonderful TS member and I love it! It's still cumbersome when folded up, but there is a strap to help you lift it up. The kids love it too!

    I bought a Combi SBS off of Craigslist for around $80 and love it. I had bought the DuoGlider and sold it. I have a jogger for walks, but use the Combi for everyday errands. I haven't had a problem yet with doorways.

    I also have a MacLaren and I Love it. Best features... light, folds easily and small- and the best is the two handles,
    when I do grocery shopping I can just put the bags in each handle.
    Downside.. there is no seperation between the 2 babies and they pull each other's hair a lot...so I give
    ... but is is light that sometimes I take one out and just push the stroller with the other hand.

    I have the combi twin SBS as well as the Graco Quatro. Yes I am a fan of my combi, although I use it mostly for outside walks. It does fit through doorways and it wasn't too expensive.

    When the kids were 4 months old we got the jeep umbrella SBS stroller. It's been great thus far. However, now like a pp had said, my son CONSTANTLY touches the wheels. Tonight we went to Toys R Us and I begged hubby to let us try our kids in the Combi SBS. It is a hair narrower than our jeep, and I love it! Seems so much more comfortable for our children, the sunshades seem better made, and it's a breeze to open and close! Not to mention it has storage, AND cupholders for your little ones! Huge bonuses IMO after having the umbrella stroller. I think I am going to beg hubby a little bit more to get me the combi SBS :) I found it on Amazon for 180 w/ free shipping! Not too shabby!

    Love my Combi SBS. I got it used off Craigslist too. I'm just jealous that the new one's have cupholders for the kids. That's my only complaint about mine.

    I love the baby jogger city mini double. Mostly I wanted bigger wheels so I can push it easily on grass and uneven pavement, and it's still narrow, not too heavy, and pretty compact when folded.

    I had a dreamer designs ditto (sometimes you can find them on ebay for a lot cheaper than new) that was SUPER light. I transported it on the roof-top luggage rack of my 1972 VW beetle, I'm only 5'4" and it was a breeze to swing up there. Fit through any handicap accessible door way. I could push it one handed even with two 3 year olds inside.
