Double Stroller Question/Recs?
JillRock96

We just bought covertible car seats for the twins today (cha-ching!), and now we have to buy a stroller immediately, since we only have a double snap-n-go right now.
Now, I know we will buy a double jogging stroller. We don't need it for jogging, but we do a ton of walking as a family, around our neighborhood, at the zoo, on paved trails, etc. We use our single jogging stroller (for Ava) pretty much daily when the weather is nice, so I know that we *will* use a double jogger for the twins.
So, two questions...
1) Should we even bother buying a double umbrella stroller, or should we just plan to use the jogger as our go-to stroller? I know the double jogger will be BIG when folded up, but is a double umbrella really that much better?
2) Any double jogger recs? We NEED to buy one at the lower end (like I said, we don't need it for jogging, so it does not need to be top of the line). The most we can spend (after coupons/deals, etc.) would be $250, so a BOB is out of the question. Can anyone recommend one? We have a Baby Trend for Ava, and we like it...anyone know anything about the Schwinn or InStep ones?
Thanks!!!

Re: Double Stroller Question/Recs?
LOVE our Baby Jogger City Mini. It is super light, easy to fold up and it actually folds up pretty flat
Go test drive it if you can! Maneuvers really well too. It may be a bit more than $250, but shop around for sales online. I think that Albeebaby has some on sale at times. Unfortunately, you cannot use coupons for it at BRU or BBB. It was worth every penny 
It also fits though standard doors!
Also, I wouldn't bother with the double umbrella. I don't have twins (obviously!), but I don't see the purpose of having both. Just buy a good double and you will use that one all the time. Honestly, the City Mini folds a lot easier and flatter than you are probably imagining!
GL!
i would look for a Valco trimode twin used - b/c it has a toddler seat so you can walk with all 3 in one stroller. It's an all-terrain, great for long walks, bumpy sidewalks, grass, gravel, etc. I love mine- esp b/c i can put all 3 kids in it at once.
DS1 doesn't go in a stroller much now at all - we use a hitch hiker board for him now attached to my City Select (which i love- can write a whole post about it!)... but when we had the twins DS1 was only 2y2mo and we used the Valco a LOT. It's not cheap- but worth every penny.
You are probably best off with the City Mini!
I did find Valco Tri Mode Twin on CL with toddler seat for about 300 a few months ago! You just have to really keep looking everyday! It is a heavy stroller though, if you ask me!
