    Hi everyone.
    I currently have the Kolcraft contour tandem stroller with options and have to say, it had been pretty amazing! But it is sooooooooo long! And I am getting tired of what it takes to fold up and put together each time we go somewhere. Especially if we have several stops in one day. I've been considering getting a compact side by side stroller, but would need one that fits through standard door ways! I will also need it to have an under basket, parent tray, and kid snack trays. Also would like one that folds decently compact. I recently saw someone at the mall with a city mini double stroller, and it looked pretty nice. What I don't like is you have to buy all the accessories separately! And they say the under basket is hard to get to. Also I'm looking to not have to spend too much on ANOTHER stroller (my hubby would kill me! lol) So, what strollers have you found work best for you?
    Thanks so much!

    I really wanted the Kolocraft stroller when I was pregnant! We ended up getting a used Graco DuoGlider from a couple who had quits! (Can you even imagine 5 babies all at once?) Anyway, I didnt' get the Contour one, and I must say that the Graco stroller steers very easily, and has been great. The basket is kinda small, but it's doable. I was given a Jeep side by side umbrella type (don't know the actually name) and I think I've used it once. It's much harder to steer and get through doorways. Hope you find one you like!

    ScrappyCindy: Your twins were born 3 days after mine! That's so cool! Hehe.... I'd love to ask many other questions of you! Not really 'compare' but just....curious I guess! Like what do they eat? Are they picky eaters? Do they talk, etc.... LoL
    I had the Graco Duo glider first, and it was good for the carseats, but my girls never seemed comfortable in it, so I sold it and got this one. I do love my stroller, but its just so big and a pain to store, load in the car, etc. I've seen that jeep side by side umbrella stroller and don't care for it much, it seems so....chinsy?! Lol Ya know?
    And....Quints?! LOL.... No I could not imagine 5 babies! I told my husband, I have 2 hands, I can do twins, but if we had triplets, or more.... I just... well Twins is hard enough! Lol Kudos to your friend!!

    Thanks! I actually went with the City Mini Double Stroller. It was a bit pricey, but its a great stroller and I would buy it again in a heart beat! :)

    I'm going to join in and say the City Mini is really awesome. I can't believe how convenient it is and I do think it comes with a lot of great features, especially the extra long sun shade. I can even steer it with one hand with ease. I'm truly happy with it! I hope you like it as much as I do.
