BTDTs with single BOBs: Which double stroller do/will you have?

For 2nd+ time moms who started out with single BOB strollers: which double stroller did you end up getting or do you plan to get?

When I was choosing a stroller for DS#1, I narrowed it down to the Baby Jogger line and the BOB. The BOB sold me on the jogging aspect, how smooth the ride was, and on how ridiculously easy it was to push and turn, especially with one hand. I find the one-handed steering and being able to turn on a dime incredibly useful in this small town with small store entranceways.

That said, I have not been jogging with it because I haven't had time to rehab the ankle that I sprained before I had DS, so do I need a double jogging stroller at this point? No. Do I want a double stroller that steers very well with one hand? Yes. I'm just a little worried that I've gotten spoiled with the single BOB and that getting something that nice in a double stroller will cost big bucks.

For those of you who chose BOBs the first time around, what are you doing/did you do the second+ time around? FWIW, we have the Chicco KeyFit 30 infant car seat.

Btw, my son has never tolerated being worn and has always done well in the stroller so I'm assuming this next one will be the same way. That's why I'm looking at double strollers now rather than planning to wear #2 for a while. Thanks!

  • We have a single BOB and a single city mini. I am seriously considering a city mini gt double[all terrain tires] or just the regular city mini double. The BOBs are nice but the double is way too big IMHO.

  • I do Stroller Strides so I will probably get a double BOB.  Currently I have: BOB revolution (from craigslist), Uppa Baby Vista, and a UppaBaby G-Luxe.  DD will be almost 3 when #2 arrives so I'm thinking about getting the ride along board for the UBV.

  • Double Bob, but I do use it almost daily for walking/jogging. It is incredibly heavy though! I keep it in the back of my Pilot to save garage space and it's annoying to load/unload it. I do love it, because I couldn't imagine jogging with anything else. My oldest 2, walks at all stores so I don't bring it into stores.
