What's your favorite double stroller? Buggy board question also.

DD will be two in a half when they're here. Since we will most likely not be going a lot of places in the beginning I was going to get the double snap n go used from a friend. I was thinking by the time we need another stroller DD will be almost 3 so will I really need a place for her on the stroller with the twins? I could always just buy a buggy board? I also wanted to ask you what's the lightest and most reasonably priced double stroller out there? Do most strollers and buggy boards fit together?

    With doubles, I think you can usually get 2 of the 3 of cheap, light and good. You can get cheap, light strollers, but they're not the best, or you can get good, light strollers, but they're not cheap. And I'm not even sure a buggy board would work with a cheap double umbrella.  

    I'd suggest using the DSNG for a bit and giving yourself time to figure out what you like/want/need in a stroller. I discovered I liked having a tandem with a larger basket so I got the BJCS. I also have a Combi SBS as my lightweight stroller, and a BJ City Series as an all terrain SBS. Since doubles are, in general, heavier than singles, it's hard to have an all-purpose stroller like you can do with a singleton. Also twins usually stay in strollers longer, because of the running in two directions factor, so it's important to have a good stroller so you can get out alone.

    my favorite stroller of them all (i have owned many) is the BJ City Select.  Love it - and have a buggy board on back for DS1.

    When the twins were infants and I needed to go out with all 3 (i did it often... don't assume you won't go places... you'll go crazy stuck at home every day) I took them all out in the Valco Trimode Twin + toddler seat, which is THE stroller to have if you have toddler + twins.  Valco is about to launch a new stroller that has a 3rd seat, but the 3rd seat isn't avail yet (i think this summer)... and i forget the name... should be on their website or FB page.

    i woudln't use a buggy board until 3yo... that is when our DS was finally able to be trusted on one.

    I used to be Goldie_locks_5 but the new nest is so screwed up that I was forced to start over.

    Our twins aren't here yet but I have worked as a nanny with two families that have had twins.  One family had the Valco Baby double jogging stroller with an additional jump seat.  It was sturdy and worked, but HEAVY!  The older child was under 2 when we were using it with the babies and it was still insanely heavy to push.  The second family used the Bumbleride Indie Twin and I LOVED that one.  We ordered our Bumbleride last week and I'm really excited to use it.  It didn't have the jump seat, but their toddler was 2 1/2 and really didn't need to ride much.  When she did need a short ride I just put her on the foot rest and she would be fine.  I would highly reccommend the Bumbleride, it's not cheap but a stroller is the one piece of baby equiptment you will actually use for years!

    I love my BJCS.   I love all the options it has.  It has been a great stroller.  I don't find it heavy and have no reason to need a lighter weight stroller.
