Car seat/stroller ?

Ok- so my b/g twins are due jan 10 and I have everything ready- but... I got the Britax B-safe car seats- I am now finding out that there are no strollers that will accommodate these car seats- for 2 kids anyway. I did find an attachment that goes w the city mini (which I have) but it only holds one seat- not 2! The only stroller I can find that i can use with these seats are one if Britaxs $600 double stroller! :-( any suggestions? TIA

    We have these car seats and use the double snap and go. They will not snap in place, so you have to use the straps to secure them down tight.

    Do you find that the straps are secure in holding the seats? Things I am reading says if it doesn't click in place it is quite wobbly? But at this point I will take anything- I can't imagine not having a stroller while they are in their infant seats!

    If you have the seats in the right place, it is secure with the straps. It only wobbles and is really unsteady if you have the seats placed incorrectly. We called the manufacturer and they confirmed how to secure them.

    Since our twins are preemies and it's flu and RSV season, we only take them out of the house to go to the doctor's office and it works just fine for that.

    I really like the seats because they are narrower and I can sit between them in the back seat of our car. However, this narrower base is the reason they don't snap in. Worth the trade off for me.

    Which Snap and Go do you have? I notice 2 different ones…one is flat and the other the seat towards the back is raised a bit….

    We just got the Contours Optima with 2 Britax B Safe car seats and love it! You have to make sure the seats are positioned correctly. I had my DH shake the stroller like crazy and they are staying on!
