What's your everyday stroller? Why do you love/hate it?

I know this topic pops up often...I need something handy for everyday errands.

Would love a rant/rave about what everyone is using.

I have the duoglider. It was perfect when they were in their infant seats to just pop them on the stroller. Now they don't use the infant seats in the stroller anymore and it still works great. I like how the seats recline and there is a large storage bin under the stoller. It is a bit heavy to get in and out of the van, but then again it is a double stroller so you have to expect it to be heavier. That being said I have no trouble though getting in/out of my van. I like that I can still fit through doorways very easily. So far I have nothing bad to say about the duoglider.

 

I have a Duoglider. I like it except that it is really heavy, it's hard to get to the bottom storage when the rear seat is flat and it only has one cup holder.

 

I have the duoglider, too. Like this one. I LOVED it when we were always putting the carseats in. I still use the carseats with it, but mostly if they're already asleep. Without the carseats, I don't like it as much. There isn't a lot of support if they're not sitting well on their own & it's just plain crowded for their legs. The baby in the back is always kicking the baby in the front. However, I think I'd have a hard time with a side by side if I were shopping & trying to get through aisles.

I also love the big basket area underneath & the cubby hole for keys, cell phone, etc.

We also have 2 single umbrella strollers. Sometimes on the weekends if I need to run some errands my DH will keep 1 baby at home & I'll just take one with me. I also use them if I have another adult with me....they're a lot lighter & easier to maneuver.

 

I still use my Snap n Go. I just ordered a MacLaren Rally for the car and travelling, and as soon as the new Mountain Buggy (2007) is out, I hope to buy a 2006 model on sale for walking in the neighborhood. I don't like front / back strollers at all, so that was important for me (I can cope with the Snap n Go for just a little bit ... )

 

I have a combi and its just an expensive rolling coat rack. I use the slings more than the stroller. We have a Bertini Pram but I didn't realize how HUGE it is. We also had a Kolcraft (the black and grey one) and I bent the pole with my foot after having it for 3 weeks, so I do NOT recommend that one.

 

Peg Perego Aria-- Lightweight, compact, decent storage, easy to manuver, fits through doors and most store, kids sit SBS... LOVE it!

 

I bring my Valco Baby everwhere. I love it.

We loved our Duoglider and used it almost daily from birth to 3 years old. I also had a sbs for a year and it just wasn't as practical for me because it allowed the girls to both fight and didn't have enough storage for errands. It took me about 1.5 minutes to get the Duoglider out of the trunk and strap in both girls while it took about 2-2.5 minutes with the sbs because it was more bulky and had 5-pt harnesses.

 

Another duoglider owner here and we're very happy with it! My babies are still in the bucket seats so I don't have any experience with them sitting directly in the seats. My only compaint so far is that to have the back bucket in, the seat needs to be reclined which makes it hard to access the storage basket underneath, but even if I had it to do over, I'd still buy the same one.
