Double stroller?

devynnk · August 2011

I have a 1 year old and am 33 weeks with number 2. Planning on getting my double stroller this week while the BRU trade in is going on, but id love some insight on which one to get. I'd really like to stay under $300 since i still have a $250 circumcision to cover. I'm liking the chicco, but i just want to be sure its the right one. Also want front - back, no side by sides. Thanks!

I took a look in baby bargains at barnes & noble the other day, and it recommended the kolcraft options II. I don't think BRU sells it though. I looked on their website and only saw the option I. They also recommend the chicco one, but that one doesn't have the seats that swivel so that the kids can face each other.

Personally, I vastly prefer a SBS (I have one of each and use the SBS 95% of the time). I think having one of each really comes in handy; you could get a cheap Graco Duoglider on Craigslist and then a nicer SBS. If you're sure you want a tandem, I'd consider the Kolcraft that pp mentioned. The City Select is REALLY nice, but pricey.

I too prefer the SBS. We have the Combi Twin and I use it even when I have only 1 kid with me. I prefer it over the single Chicco (cubes) stroller that we also have. It is SO light, folds easily, fits through every door and aisle, and even rolls well over the grass and gravel. Seriously, it is easier to navigate than the single stroller. LOVE IT!!!

I have the Chicco and I REALLY like it. It may not be a jogging stroller, but it is surprisingly easy to maneuver.

True, the seats do not swivel but if you put the infant car seat in the front and have your older LO sitting in the back, they will be facing each other.

I know a lot of people prefer side by side strollers, but I personally like the tandem configuration better.

Here are two video reviews that I found useful when I was researchig the Chicco together stroller. I hope you find them as useful as I did:
