xp: Double stroller rec's pls?!? City mini?

melissa-n-paul

Im due in March with LO #2! I will have a 3 yr old by then and looking for a double stroller. Any recs? I am favoring the City Mini only because everyone seems to favor it. Its going to be a Christmas gift from my family so Im not worried about the price. I just want something lightweight that has enough room for a toddler, and room underneath for bags, etc. I dont care about name brands, just want something that is durable and side by side.

I dont like the sit and stands and not a fan of the front/back strollers either. Looking for something side by side that will fit thru doorways and is easy to collaspe.

I think the City Mini is great. We love ours. I had a Maclaren that I wasn't thrilled with. I definitely recommend the City Mini. The things I love are the super easy fold, the durability and more than anything else, the amazing sunshades. If price isn't an option for you, you may want to look into the City Select. Not a side-by-side, but it is amazing. If ours were different ages we probably would have gotten that because there are so many options. You can use it with a car seat and when your 3-year old is too big for a stroller, it will still function as a single stroller.

We considered the City Mini, but didn't like 2 different features.  1) The seats don't offer enough support for our liking.  It feels more like a hammock and not a cushy seat.  2) The seat isn't very tall... and with Dh and I being very tall, this was an important feature (nephew tried it out at 2.5 yrs old and he didn't fit too well - and he's very short!).  

We ended up with the Bubleride Indie Twin, and love it!  We have only used it a couple of times, but did take it for a spin to the park last week, and love the way it drives, and the basket is easy to get too.

Last week, we were gifted a used Peg Prego Aria, and really like it.  Not a fan of it for twins personally, but in your situation may be perfect (one side is larger than the other side for a toddler).  It is VERY lightweight and easy to fold.

Really like our city mini but as they're getting older/bigger, my 2 complaints are the soft seat back & also when you put the tray on it is very high. I have two short-ish 16 month olds & they can't get a straw cup out of the cup holder on the tray b/c it is too high so I dont have it on anymore.

However, I have heard the new model that came out or is coming out has worked on the seat support issue so still def worth looking into. Super easy to open & fold, stick in back of car & relatively lightweight, compared to something like the bumbleride, which is awesome but definitely more cumbersome.

GL!
