Tandem or Side by Side Stroller?

ELsMom

I'm trying to decide if I want a tandem or side by side stroller. The side by sides are nice for when they get older, but they seem like they wouldn't fit everywhere.

 Which did you go with, and why?

 Thanks

We will soon have both since it seems they both have their own pros and cons!

I have a tandem stroller and I love it... it is great to go shopping with.  It is long but I don't have to worry about the width.  I think when they get older I may end up getting a side by side umbrella stroller if I can get a good deal but I really like my Graco!

both.  If you can't afford both new- you can always find great deals on craigslist or consignment stores and yard sales.

it's handy to have different types of strollers for different occasions.

SBS. We have the tandem DSNG now and I just find it awkward how it goes so far out in front of me; it's like pushing a bus. I also think it's getting harder to steer as they get heavier. We just got our City Mini Double today and it's so easy to push and steers like a dream!

Oh and you can get Graco Duogliders pretty cheap on craigslist if you want to do what Goldie said and have one of each. I think that's smart. A friend offered to loan me her Graco tandem since she only has one stroller-age child now and isn't ttc again for a while.

We are looking at the side by side Bumbleride Indie Twin.  It only holds one car seats however I emailed the company and they said that it is designed for 2 infants using the Snuzzler from Kiddopotamus.  It is also holds 2 carrycots which are similar to the bassinet feature that the Buggaboo has...just not as big.  I have read great things about the stroller and it looks like the way to go.  One stroller that will grow with the twins!
