Does anyone have Chicco Cortina Together Double Stroller https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4316460#showReviews It looks like it would work for us when the baby comes this summer, just not sure if I should invest in it.Any feedback on this model? or Suggestions for another double (that's reasonably priced)? Ideally I want one that both can sit in, including a car seat when needed.

    We had a sit and stand and that worked great for about 6 months.  After that, we never used it again.  What we do use is the wagon.  We used that for a solid 2 years, in place of the double stroller.

    I've no experience with that one but I'm not a fan of the front/back thing in general.  If you plan do to a lot of shopping with the stroller than I think it would be a positive but if you use your stroller more for walks and "adventures" than I much prefer a SBS stroller.  We had a used Mountain Buggy that I got for a steal on CL and both my kids and I adore it.  We had a double bob, with all the fancy add on's and while I really, really loved the sun shade on the bob I was not a fan of the single wheel in the front and it went to happily live in the home of another nestieSmile.

    I don't know what's important you besides the carseat aspect but there are lot of great deals out there right now on strollers and personally I think CL can be your best friend.  As much as I love our Mountain Buggy I have considered selling it and getting this... Normal Price =$649....Sale Price =$380Surprise

    If you want something lightweight I know people rave about these, I checked and you can do a carseat adapter.  Great price on the green but if you dont' love it other colors are$20 more.  Regular Price= #299 Sale price -$179

     They also have your option, on sale for $269.

    They have a screaming deal on the City Select, which people rave about, sale-$399

    I like the looks of this graco model, the rear seat seems to sit a bit higher.

    This Peg Perego looks like a nice option.  Also has snack trays, one side is bigger than the other for the carseat and then the thought is big kid moves to big side and little kid moves to little side

     I've heard good things about this Kolcraft one.  We test drove it at BRU before we had #2 and it was the only non SBS we even remotely considered.  Had it been this kind of deal then we probably would have gotten it.  i'm also pretty sure that IheartmyHusband has this for the twins.  Not sure if they've used it yet but you could page her.

    Thank You so much!   I have a few months to think about it and time to save for a more expensive stroller, if that is the route I go. 

    I'mm look into the SBS strollers too, and stalk Craigslist for a deal.

    ok, so obviously not a mom of two so take what I say with a grain of salt. :) In the pictures it looks like the infant seat snaps into the second stroller seat (furthest from you)?? and maybe I'm wrong here, but it seems like you would want the infant seat to be closer so that when you're pushing if you have a spitup/paci/screaming disaster you can attend to it while walking or without having to walk up to the front of the stroller.

    If you're interested in SBS strollers I love our city mini and they make a SBS jogger, they also make the city micro and it's on sale at albeebaby.

    ETA: ok, so I looked at the description and it looks like you can put the infant carrier in both positions, so never mind. lol. but my recommendation for the city mini/micro still stands. :)

    I have a P&T Vibe and I love it.  It is pricey though, but you could probably find a deal on cl.
