Stroller question

tarajayne

I feel kind of dumb asking this, but are there side by side strollers that you can fit infant carseats in and then later on use them without?  I only have looked at them very briefly but I have seen a lot of people talk about using 1 for when they are infants and using 1 later.  I really don't want to have to buy 2.  Thanks in advance

2yrs ago there was not- but now there is, but still few and far between.

The Stroll Air Duo does it - i'd probably own this stroller if about to have twins- looks great.

i think the new bumbleride indie twin does but only certain types of seats (i might be wrong on this one).

and i think maybe 1 more? i don't keep up on it as much now that we are ending our time with strollers soon

 but there is nothing as easy as a DSNG frame... and often pushing around a tandem is much easier than a SBS - when shopping, etc... the BJC Select is awesome for this b/c it's frame is a DSNG and also can add seats while infants on full recline, move them around, etc - and use as a single when you only have one child. This is my most used stroller that i own.

I have the Bugaboo Donkey and got it for the same reason, wanted one stroller that takes carseats SBS and then has bassinets and seats that all work with the frame. I also got an umbrella stroller for travel.

those are the ones I can think of off hand, and you have to check which carseat they take

Combi Twin Sport Stroller has car seats that can fit in it.

Thank you all, I am searching them now.

Bumbleride Indie Twin--- the only kind of car seat it will take two of is the Maxi Cosi.   Its what we are getting   So easy to push and maneuver.  It also holds 2 carry cots but the seats recline far enough back to have a newborn lay in them without a carry cot.  I should add that ONLY the 2011 model and newer accommodates 2 car seats.  You can get the upper and lower car seat adapter on amazon or Bumblerides site.  I found Buy Buy Baby was not aware of this new feature and weren't very helpful.  I emailed Bumbleride directly to find out more info.

Our next choice was the Stroll-Air but its not all terrain, and its hard to find a store that carries it to test out.

We went to Buy Buy Baby this weekend to research this.  I am honestly heartbroken that the Baby Jogger city mini cannot take 2 car seats.  The City Elite is freakin amazing but SO expensive and honestly, we could not see 2 2 year olds in it....

The guy who helped us said that most of the doubles that took 2 car seats were really wide and that most tandems took the car seats.  I think we are probably going with the snap and go frame and then the city mini double.   I also love the bumbleride but these are all SO expensive... I hate the idea of spending that much on a stroller... sigh....

We most likely will go with the tandem now that I am looking at them more.  I already have 2 carseats so getting 2 more to fit a stroller is kind of silly.  We don't have a BBB anywhere close so we wouldn't be able to check those out for quite awhile.  Thank you all for the input though, this gives me a lot to think about!

we also decided that the double stroller system was too big for our needs. So, I got a frame stroller with car seats and then I could get whatever double stroller I wanted for use when they're a little older.
