  Our "everyday lightweight" mall/errand stroller is now the Maclaren Twin Trimph and our going for a walk by the beach stroller is the Valco Tri Mode Twin EX.
  

  
  After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

  We got a City Mini when the boys were 4m old. We used both for two months (depending on the situation) and retired the DSNG when they were 6m old. The City Mini has been great! I also have a Duoglider a friend gave me when the boys were almost a year old. That comes in handy for shopping at stores without double carts (since it has a huge basket) or places with especially narrow aisles. 95% of the time the City Mini works great for me though.

  The valco trimode twin is a GREAT stroller (i love mine) but not a good every day stroller - it's a PITA to fold up and put in/out of the car....

  we had the Kolcraft Contours when Gibby outgrew the infant seat - so we just started putting him into the regular seat and kept Gray in the snap and go part of the Contour's --- it's a GREAT stroller for that reason!

  Now we have the City Select (which is essentially the same as the Contours, but a smaller footprint).... that is our every day stroller - i LOVE it.

  the Trimode Twin is our "all terrain" stroller for long walks, days at the zoo, etc.

  I have two--a used Combi side-by-side that's super easy to fold and unfold that I use for quick trips into Target, the grocery store, etc.  For longer outings (zoo, botanical gardens, etc), we have a Phil and Ted Sport which I love.

  We also do a couple other things.  If DH and I are both going somewhere, we've started using two single umbrella strollers more.  Also, if I go somewhere with single carts, I have also started wearing one on my back in the Ergo and putting one DD in the cart.

  I got rid of mine when the girls were 2 mos old because we started using the Kolkraft Contours.  It's great and I love the large basket underneath.  We also just got a BOB which we use for walks/trips and we love it!

  I have the Kolcraft Contour Options and LOVE it.  I use it as a DSNG mostly, but I've used it several times with 1 or both regular stroller seats.  I love that stroller, I had the Baby Trend DSNG and it wasn't near as easy to push/steer as the Kolcraft.
