Local stores to test drive double strollers

Since we'll have 2 under 2, we're looking in to our stroller options.  We have no idea if we want a sit and stand or double wide (as I call them) or something else.  Any good places to go in NoVA to test drive a bunch of strollers?  I am sure BRU has a bunch, I just haven't looked at the selection.

    I live in NoVA, but when it comes time for us to do things like test strollers, I plan on making the trip up to Gaithersburg to New Beginnings. The store is roomier than any other baby store I've been to, and they have a sufficient "test" area.

    Great Beginnings in Gaithersburg, MD is AWESOME but if you don't want to travel that far at first, check out Baby Blossom in Fairfax (off Pickett b/t 50 and 236).  It is a small store but the owner and his wife really know his stuff.  But before you go, check the hours b/c they close early and I think Sundays too?

    It is definitely worth the trip to Great Beginnings in Gaithersburg.  The staff is really knowledgable and there is no pressure to buy one stroller over another. 

    Have you considered a Phil & Ted's stroller?  It can be a double or single and it is considered an inline stroller, so one is behind the other.  But it is kind of pricey $400+ depending on what model you get.

    Buy Buy Baby in Springfield typically has a good selection...better than the BRU that I have been to (at least the one on Rt. 7 in Arlington).

    I'd go to Great Beginnings - Gaithersburg off 270 Exit 11.  It only takes 25-30 minutes to get there from Arlington - so shouldn't be much more for you.

    I went to baby blossom and they are great, not push, and very knowledgeable about strollers. You can test drive them outside as well.

    Great Beginnings is having a 20% off storewide sale (excludes furniture) thru the 17th of January.  We picked up our mattress, and few other baby items.  Also, we ordered our glider there.  I think they will also take competitors coupons for a number of items (I was able to use a $50 coupon BBB coupon on our glider)
