Please recommend your double stroller. Pros/cons of a Sit N Stand - the only problem I see is DD will be almost 3 and she still may want to relax/nap a little bit if we're going to be going for a long walk, but I've heard double joggers are really hard to transport and steer. I need some recommendations, thanks!

We were bought a Kolcraft tandum double when #2 was born. I HATED IT. We used it a few months and sold it. I am really not a stroller Mom and never used it except for walks and it sucked for walks.
We have an In-Step Double Jogger. I use this for walks, to get Alex from school (then all 3 sit on it on the way home) and for going for runs.
We bought a used Baby Trend Sit & Stand before #3 was born. I LOVED that stroller. I had a friend who wanted/needed it and I sold it to her in the fall. I regret it honestly because for mall walking I need to take the jogger which bearly fits in the Target bathrooms. The SNS was awesome while Dylan was still in the infant carrier so I didn't have to disturb her. I could also sit both my girls on the bench initially.
We have this too. The storage underneath is smaller than most travel strollers, however, it has hidden pockets everywhere!
my read shelf:
Not necessarily. When DD was born we bought a BumbleRide Indie Twin and loved it way more (including it's smooth ride and steering) than our single Graco. It's a great double stroller, but is a bit of an investment, so I'm not sure I'd get it with a 3 year old LO (b/c they may not use it very often or for long), unless you plan to have a #3 and can use it with #2 and 3.

Love it!!!!!!!!!
Many different options.
The one I used the most was my Maclaren Twin Triumph~ too bad they are going bankurpt.
I had a Graco DuoGlider but only used that when I had an infant. I hate how long it was. It was like a boat.
I also have a double bob (runner) but found I don't really run much with it though it is a dream to push--it is also very bulky
When DD2 was born, DD1 had just turned 2. I went ahead and got the Graco double stroller. It was nice for about 6 months, but then DD1 got to where she never really wanted to stay in it. I finally decided that I needed something easier and smaller, so we recently got the Joovy Caboose Ultralight. I LOVE it. We just did a weekend trip with it and I really can't rave about it enough. We bought ours on Craigslist and I got a really good deal on it.
Like someone else mentioned, it doesn't have great storage, but it works for us. I also hooked one of those large "Mommy Hooks" on the handle and that really helps.
I bought 3 strollers all new before deciding on one!
First I bought a Valco. It was HUGE and I sent it back. Wow huge!
Then I bought a City Mini but the basket really was unusable and I felt like I was pushing an empty stroller too often.
Next I bought the City Select. It rocks. It stores easily and can be either a single or a double as needed trivially! I love, love, love that feature. I don't have to decide if I want a single or a double until we get out of the car. It can be either! Also I can have the seats in many different configurations which is really cool.
I had bought a sit and stand and I still have it but I'm going to go ahead and sell it. I don't care for it and for longer events where my toddler would actually want to ride for awhile it would kinda suck as she couldn't lean back any and couldn't see forward while riding.
