Toddlers: 24 Months+

recommend your favorite double stroller please!

As you can see from my tickers, we have an almost three year old and a new baby. We weren't going to get a double, because our older daughter is kinda over the stroller.  However, now that baby sister is in HER stroller, she's more interested... and wants one when she's tired (we end up carrying her which is getting old!)  We have a BOB single jogger and love it, but I'm not sure we want to spend for that... Please recommend your favorite stroller if you're in a similar situation w/your kids age wise.  We'd use it for neighborhood walks/jogs, zoo trips, etc.  Thanks in advance!

Re: recommend your favorite double stroller please!

  • Great side by side options, City mini. Bumbleride and Bob. Tandum would be the City select, b-ready. I good inexpensive option, the combi umbrella. I love it. But yyou have to know it is a stroller that is not going to work like a bob.

    I have a 3 year old and a newborn.  We have the joovy sit and stand stroller, it is much less bulky than a double stroller.  It also fits my Chicco carseat perfectly.  I have pushed it with the carseat attached and my 3 year old sitting on the seat and it is smooth and easy to maneuver. 

  • I have a 2.5 year old and a 4 month old. We have a Phil&Teds Explorer Double. Love it. I have DD on the bottom jump seat and DS on top (still in the infant carrier). DD loves riding in the stroller still, and I didn't really want to bother with the bulk of a sit 'n stand. I also really like that if one of the kiddos isn't with me, I can easily just pop off the bottom seat (which I've done several times already).

  • I love my double BOB.  I also have a single but wasn't sure about getting one because DD isn't always into the stroller, so we got it off Craigslist.  Its so worth it and if I had bought it new I wouldn't regret it at all.  I had been carrying and running around with DD quite a bit, but with DS I can't do that, so I use the BOB all the time.  I've been using it at the mall, even though I hadn't used a stroller at the mall since DD was about 1 1/2, and I've been running with the car seat adapter (Dr oked it) since DS was about 4 weeks.  DD has a special back pack for the stroller and when we go out to eat that has her leap pad, play dough, nail polish, and a few other treats that keep her very happy and busy.

    This. We bought the Ultralight Joovy caboose sit and stand.

  • Check out the Mountain Buggy Plus One. It is an inline jogging stroller that can convert to a single or a double, with either two toddlers or a baby cocoon with toddler, and also has a sit & stand attachment. It is pretty dreamy I must say. It's on my wish list!

  • City Mini.  It fits through all standard doors, it's light, and it folds up great!

    Only complaints: bottom basket is awkwardly shaped and hard to fill/remove items from, no hard plastic parent console and it doesn't "STAY" folded when it's upright. 

    Hate Tandems...  Put a heavier child (like a 3yo) in the front of a standard tandem and your pivoting/turning is USELESS.

  • Depends on what you're going to use it for.  We ultimately decided to get the BOB Sport Utility Duallie, but that's really because I wanted to start running again.  If I hadn't been so interested in using a stroller for exercise, I really liked the look and price of the Joovy Scooter x2 ($230!)  I got the BOB on Amazon for ~$400.

  • I love our Schwinn double jogging stroller. It is a much cheaper alternative to the BOB. I have a two and a half year old and a newborn.
