    They both seem reasonably priced but not sure which to go with. I hear a lot of people saying they love thier duo although I can't seem to find it in any other color other than the blue color (not that it REALLY matters but I like a choice). The Jeep canopy seems so pathetic. I also like the Kolkraft umbrella double but someone gave me hers and I hate that when the wind blows the sun shade flips up and back. I want something lightweight, and while storage space would be nice it's not essential as I can just add a bag or 2 over the handles. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my jogging stroller but they just don't seem comfortable in it for a long period of time. The fact that they are always leaning back seems so annoying for them and also I think they just get plain hot in the thing. I want something for the mall, or going to the park, something that fits through most doorways and that won't fall apart on me for at least a year or so. So what are your opinions?? TIA

    Also, if anyone has any of those wagon type things, would those be good for SixFlags? Or a long day out? Thanks

    I love my duoglider - it manuevers well & the girls are comfy. I have a MacLaren SBS & A Peg Perego SBS - they sit in the garage because I don't go anywhere without my DuoGlider.

    I have a duoglider but I just bought a jeep (it hasn't come yet so I haven't used it). I like the duoglider but I think it is REALLY heavy (35 pounds). Also with both trays and both sunshades it takes up most of the back of my 4Runner. I got the Jeep because I think that they Duoglider is a pain to run errands with. I guess I will know soon if the Jeep is any better.

    We have a DuoGlider, a jogging stroller AND a side by side. We have an Inglesina SBS and it is really great. It was $200 but is comfy and compact. It is lightweght and sturdy. IMO - we need all three (plus our wagon!!) b/.c they all serve different purposes...

    If $200 is not too much to spend - look into Inglesina. Also - they make huge canopy extender's that go over the original canopy. I think they are at BRU and in all those kids catalogs..

    We have the Jeep sbs Here is my opinion

    Cons:
    We got ours last Oct and it has some parts that are rusted
    Sun cover pops us and doesn't cover much, we don't use ours
    Its hard to get thru doors
    No storage the "saddle bags it does have will hold like a sippy each and when you go thru a door the sippy will get knocked out
    straps get horrible twisted
    adult drink hold does not stay in place. It pops off and spins upside down

    Pros:
    Easy to unfold and fold
    Takes up very little space in my trunk
    back panels roll up and make pillows allowing air to flow thru the back(has netting)
    it's cheap and was a gift

    sorry, i think i should clarify that the duoglider that i was looking at was a side by side. i prefer the side by side strollers over the tandem ones.

    I had the tandem Duo-glider. I really liked mine. It was sturdy and never gave me any problems. It was on the heavy side but it maneuvered well etc.. I have no experience with the side-by-side though.

    My Jeep SBS works great. The only con that really bothers me is that it doesn't have 5-pt harnesses. Now that my kiddos are getting bigger, they bend at the waist and make it difficult to maneuver sometimes.
