We have a Graco Duoglider and a BOB Revolution Pro. The Graco is fine for casual use for errands and shopping, but our wheels show a lot of wear and tear from my taking the babies for walks everyday on the uneven sidewalks in our neighborhood. Also, it doesn't completely fit in the trunk of our Chevy Malibu, so we have to take the arm bar off in order to pack it.
The BOB is awesome, but expensive. It gets even more expensive when you realize that it doesn't come with cup holder or car seat adapter. Those and other extras that are standard on other strollers have to be purchased separately. It also doesn't fit in our car without taking off the wheels.
I have City select double for my big stroller but right now I use the twin joovy roo because it is so light and convenient especially since I usually have them out and about by myself. We use the Chicco Keyfir 30 carseats.

I have the same two that ksgsmu has. I used the Twin Joovy while they were still okay with sitting in the Chicco Keyfit carseats for longer. Now I use the City select double stroller for everything. Due to the price tag on the City Select, I asked for nothing but a portion of the stroller cost from the three sets of grandparents for Christmas for my husband and I.. then I got lucky enough to find it for that cost on Albeebaby.com for a previous years brand new model I WAS going to cover the rest.
Honestly, I didn't get it because of how nice it was.. I got it because no other double stroller would fit in the back of our vehicle because we use all three rows of seats at least partially when the whole family is in the car.
I found an umbrella style side by side at our twin sale that will fit in my Saturn Ion trunk. We got a Baby Trends snap and go for the car seats that fits in DH Volvo SUV. Snap and go has been great so far did a shopping trip with it :-)
I love our Baby Jogger City Mini GT. Pricey, yes, but we've gotten so much use of it from 4 months on. It's totally worth it. I previously had a combi sport and hated it, pushing it and turning it was annoying and difficult. I have a Delta double umbrella as a back up and it's a pain to push anywhere.
Based on reviews and talking to different people I registered for the baby jogger city select with the extra seat and Chicco key fit 30 car seats. But I also registered for a cheap lightweight umbrella stroller. My twins won't be able to get in that one right away obviously but everyone told me I would be so glad to have it. It's a delta LX or something? Got good reviews I amazon and is only $90 for the green one! Hopefully it works out but even if it doesn't I will still have the baby jogger city select.

This is the umbrella I have. It's decent when push comes to shove and my boys prefer it to the BJCM. However, I paid $15 for it when it hit clearance at Sears last year. I would wait for the price to drop.
I had the Combi Twin Sport SBS. I got it for $200 on Amazon. It was a nice lightweight stroller- like 22 pounds. Folded up nicely (easily without having to take any parts off to fit in my SUV or my husband's Honda Civic) and handled well. I sold it last Spring for $100 at my club's resale.
We got the Joovy Twin Roo to start. It will fit most popular car seats. It was the most cost effective and smallest twin stroller I found. It is only $117.
