Also looking for opinions on these --the Quattro and the DuoGlider. TIA!

We have the Quattro and honestly, I wish we had gotten the BJ City Mini with the carseat adapters instead. The Quattro is a great stroller but they kick the front seat and whoever is in the back can't see much. It doesn't fold very small either, so it takes up a lot of room in the car if you're going on a trip.

I have quattro and it is is really nice stroller and it "drives" well. What i don't like about it is it is really heavy. I also have a side by side which the twins prefer to be in since they can see everything.

But if i had to pick between this or sit n stand, I would go with this.

Do you only want a tandem?

We pushed them around the store and hated it. Hard to steer, bulky, the toddler seat was not comfy (or so it appeared), hard to fold...I basically hated everything about it. We ended up getting a Bob Duallie and I love it. I Use the infant adapter fir one twin, Paige sits in the other side, and if I'm alone, I carry the other twin in my Moby.

We have the duoglider. There are pros & cons. It's heavy to get in and out at first but you get used to it, plus it fits in my honda accord so that's a bonus! What I don't love about it is that the baby can hardly see out of the back seat esp. when you put the canopy on. What I absolutely HATE about it are the trays and the basket. The trays are a HUGE, HUGE PITA to get on and off, very hard to push. In order to fit in my car I have to take the tray off the front Also if you use the infant carseat in the back you really can't get into the basket or put anything large in there. The basket always has to be rehooked when you open it, sometimes the hooks get stuck. We bought it w/ a gift card so it was basically free. The reason I didn't get a side by side is they seemed very wide in the stores, the one we tested didn't fit in the trunk. I think I will be looking at an umbrella type side by side stroller as the baby gets a little bigger.

Duo glider.

It's a monster.

See your sit and stand post below.

We used it only a hand full of times and then re-sold it on Craigslist (where we bought it).

The sit and stand was a much better option for us.

We got a duoglider really cheap at Walmart.com. For what we needed it for, it was fine. I agree with others that it is really big and heavy, and ours was pretty hard to open. But at the same time, we really only use it for walks occasionally (we have a double wagon that they prefer, and Nolan was able to sit in that starting around 7 months), the mall, and things like the zoo. When we went grocery shopping or to any stores, we just used the carts. So since we didnt use it often I was able to deal with the cons. I didnt want to spend a fortune on a double stroller that wasnt going to get used often.

I think if you plan to use it a lot you might want to spend more money and get a better one. If you is only occasional use, you will probably be fine.

We tried them in the store and they were just huge. The Chicco was huge as well. We ended up with the BJ City Select which I really like so far (we've been using it as a single).

I didnt think that DS was ready for a sit n stand - he needs to be contained. There was one sit n stand that I thought would work for us - Joovy Ergo Caboose - because the infant seat goes in the back and he could be in a regular seat in the front for a while longer and then maybe when she grew out of her infant seat he would be ready for the back. It was getting horrible reviews regarding the tires though and it was supposedly really long so we passed over it. Maybe a new one has come out since then?
