    I am pregnant with twins and was looking online at the twin strollers / travel systems. I wondered if anyone particularly loves their strollers or car seats or the combo and why? I hear the side by side joggers don't fit in doors. I like the idea of just hooking the car seat to the stroller but its not necessary probably more of a hassle to put the car seat in and out than the kids. Thanks and your suggestions are appreciated. I'm new to this board. Leza

    If I had to do it over again I would have gotten the Double Snap and Go to use with my Graco Snugride seats. I had the DuoGlider and it was huge and cumbersome. I got the Combi Twin Savvy SBS stroller when my girls were around 8 months old, and I love it! It is narrow enough to fit through doors, and it's super light and compact. GL with your decision!!

    We had the Graco Snug Ride car seats with the Graco Quattro Tour stroller. My girls are 21 months now and I am still using the Quattro Tour, I like it!

    I have the Graco Snugride seats and the Quattro Tour Duo stroller - so far so good - easy to snap in the seats and fairly easy to maneuver (considering it is a double stroller). We had a Graco travel system for my older DD and loved it!! We used it for a long time and I like that we were able to use the same stroller when she was an infant and when she got older (unlike the Snap n Go). But I have heard great things about the Snap n Go and I am debating getting a SBS to use in some instances in addition to the Quattro Tour. Good luck with your decision!!

    I did get the double snap n go and LOVED it!! I hated to give it up! You'll be surprised how nice it is to transport a sleeping baby in and out and about without waking them up in their infant seat! Sounds nice not taking the seat, but it seriously is a pain to buckle and unbuckle a tiny little floppy newborn several times a day!

    I also got the combi twin SBS, when my babes were 3 months old, and we use it pretty much every day! Easy to open and fold, fits great in my vehicle, and the babes enjoy it! The only downfall is it has small canopies (easily fixed with a bigger canopy bought at babiesrus) and it has a tiny basket underneath (fixed by using a messenger bag hanging on the handle). :)

    Same here. I sold the Duoglider as soon as I could. We did splurge and buy a Valco Twin Trimode with a toddler attachment and I love that stroller. But for the first few months the Duoglider and Combi were great. We have had no problems getting either SBS through doorways. Now getting down the aisle of some kids clothing stores is a different story altogether :gah:

    I have the Snap-n-Go. We didn't use it as much as we thought we would. This is partly because we really didn't go out that much in the beginning with the babies. Also, they HATED being in their car seats, so they didn't like to go for walks in the stroller. It is handy not to have to take them out of their car seats, though, especially if they are sleeping. Those infant car seats get really heavy once your baby gets to 15 lbs. or so. We just bought convertible car seats because we weren't taking the infant car seats out of the car much any more. If you plan on taking your babies out a lot you will probably want the infant car seats and a compatible stroller, such as the Snap 'n Go.

    Now, they finally like walks, but they much prefer their lightweight side-by-side stroller. They like to sit up straight and look around. I'm glad we have the side-by-side, and we use it every day, mainly for walks to the park. I'm glad I didn't get a huge travel system. I'm not a fan of big, heavy strollers.

    GL with your choice!
