Double stroller...side by side or tandem?

Really depends where you plan to use it.  Side by sides are painful in places like the small, amusement parks, etc because they are so wide.

I think both have their advantages, but get accurate measurements. If it won't fit through your door, won't do much good. Some are VERY wide!

I'm surprised by your poll results so far.  I really think the side by side is so much better than the tandem styles.  Tandem is so difficult to steer, especially if your kiddos are heavy!

I don't have 2 on the outside yet, but I got the Maclaren Twin Techno. It is a side by side but still small.  I only wanted to buy one double stroller and we use our stroller more for day trips to the zoo and museums. I wanted both kids to have a good view and both seats to have a full recline.

At the daycare where I used to work, we had one of each. The side by side one was SO much better; the longer one was a pain in the butt to steer (you had to pick the back up and pull it to where you wanted it to turn). I'm sure if you got the longer one, you'd get used to it and would eventually learn how much space you need to turn it properly kind of like when you park a car, you know the radius of it and how much you can turn into the space before reversing and trying again. I think it would be pretty close to the same thing. 

I think if I had to choose one though, I would ultimately choose the side by side.

I have a sit n stand (with the option of using 2 seats instead of the stand part) and haven't had any problems with it. However I have a friend with a side by side and she is always running into things or can't fit.
