Double stroller? Kolocraft?

Hello,

I am sure you get this question all the time, but are double strollers a good idea?  I know I am asking early, but I saw the Kolocraft contours stroller on craigslist and am wondering if I should get it.  The seats swivel so that the kids can face each other if they want.  My 2 will be about 18 months apart.  Thanks!

If you like the look/function of the kolcraft, try looking for a Baby Jogger City Select (on craig's list of course, it's way to expensive new!).  I've had both, and the kolcraft (while a great price) is very heavy, longer, and harder to push.  The BJCS might cost you a bit more, but it's so much easier to use, take in and out of the car, and the seats accommodate larger children.

As for needing a double or not, it's really up to the family.  A lot of 2 under 2 mom's wear the LO and just use a single. I live in my double (in fact I have several doubles) and I can't imagine going out without them.

While the Kolcraft looks nice, it's SO HEAVY (around 50lbs!). I'd recommend the Baby Jogger City Mini (25ish lbs) or the City Select!
