Moms of 2+ What double stroller are you using/going to use?

I don't think I want one of the stand & ride strollers but, all the choices are overwhelming.

What are you planning on using?

Re: Moms of 2+ What double stroller are you using/going to use?

  • I bought a Graco Ready to Grow stroller around a month ago. There are 13 different positions for the seats, including a sit and stand option.

  • We have a Baby Jogger City Mini and it's honestly one of my favorite baby gear items ever.  HIGHLY recommend it.  I love that it's side-by-side and I've never had a problem fitting it through any doors, because it's smaller than a standard door anyway.

    Yep.  Love it.

    that has always been my concern with a side by side. Hmmm now you are making me rethink this whole thing.
  • We got the Joovy Ergo Caboose.  Hopefully we'll like it!
  • Uppababy Vista w the rumble seat. I seriously can not wait to use it bc I love this stroller!

  • We have the graco duo as of right now.

    My mother is currently on a witch hunt to get me a triple stroller and is stalking a RunAbout triple jogger on Ebay.

    I just got my Maclaren Twin Techno. I love it so far. I wanted a side by side but not one too big to take to the mall.

  • I just bought the Baby Jogger City Select. I like that it can be used as a single or double depending on what I need.

  • I can't say enough good things about our Bumbleride Indie Twin.  We've been using it since DD was a newborn and it's still in new condition.  Works with a good selection of car seats if you want to go that route, or reclines fully for the baby (which is what we usually did).  It steers just as well as our single Bumbleride, has a huge storage basket, and has fit through any door I've ever tried it through (the only place I don't take it is tiny boutiques, obvi).  Air filled tires are a must, imo.  We bought a cheapie Jeep one with plastic wheels when DH blew out one of the Bumbleride tires the night before a vaca, and that thing sucked x1000.  Plus, Bumblerides aren't fugly, and I think many strollers are.  

    I'm not a big person, and oh yeah I'm pregnant, and I still have no problem folding/unfolding or lifting the Indie Twin into my SUV.  Looooove it!  :) 

    If budget is a factor I do see them on CL from time to time, so keep an eye on that.

  • We have a Baby Jogger City Select and purchased the carseat conversion kit, and we'll be purchasing a second seat when this LO is out of his infant carseat.  Love the City Select!

     I wish I'd done this.  I have a Phil and Ted's,  which is great, but I think the City Select is more versatile.

  • We're going for the Baby Jogger City Mini Double. I'm not buying until the late summer as the 2012 version is supposed to have slightly deeper seats and footrests.

    I can't believe how small this thing can fold up! We went to BBB and compared a bunch of doubles and I was blown away by the features and size.

    I too have an Indie Twin that I love.  Only two drawbacks (that I can overlook because of how much I love it, but are worth mentioning) are that it is quite bulkya and it is on the heavy side. 

     I tried the joovy caboose sit and stand and I absolutely hated pushing such a long stroller.  Very difficult to steer, especially when the kids are heavier. Side by side gets my vote for sure.

    I have the Uppababy Vista too and I don't love it like this - what am I doing wrong? Everyone who has it feels this way (loves it) except me. 

    I ended up getting the City Mini and now I'm not sure if I should get the rumble seat for the UB or one of the other Baby Joggers. I also heard not such great things about the rumble seat (that it wasn't all that big, the kids weren't happy when they were put in it, etc.)

    What to do, what to do. I think I might have to have a wait and see approach on this....
