Two Under 2

What stroller do you recommend?

My LOs will be 17 months apart, I'm trying to figure out what stroller I will use.

I have an Uppa Baby Vista that I LOVE and can purchase the rumble seat for.

But I'm also looking into double strollers, any suggestions?

TIA!

Re: What stroller do you recommend?

  • I love my City Mini. It's light weight, easy to push, and even though it's a side-by- side, it fits through doors.

  • Many of us here have a city select. It is a single that can convert to a double, you can get a toddler board for the back, car seat attachment, basinet attachment, and seats rotate into different positions. This is a great stroller for toddler +baby.

    I also have city mini GT (more rugged than city mini) for a side by side and I prefer this one with two toddlers. They were able to "harass" each other more in the city select and if someone needed a nap in city select ( with two toddlers) it was nearly impossible and so were diaper changes. but now days we use a stroller for longer trips like the zoo and use the city select for quick trips (mostly single +glider board) for the mall or somewhere without a shopping cart.

  • I don't have a second yet but this is the list of strollers I am looking at and I am research nut about things like that.

    Jovvy X2

    Baby Jogger City Mini Double (or GT)

    Bumbleride Indie Twin

    Baby Jogger City Select

    Valco Baby Trimode

    Mountain Buggy Duo

    Bugaboo Donkey (I want this one but it's just so darn expensive)

    Check out Baby Gizmo youtube reviews.  That's what helped me come up with this list.  I think I want the City Mini GT double but we'll see when we go check them out in person.

    We got a Joovy Ergo Caboose.  It is a sit-n-stand style that allows the older child to sit in the actual seat b/c the infant carseat is in back by mom.

    I really like this design. What's the space in the back (where the carseat goes) like when it's not being used for an infant in a carseat? Can a child sit or stand back there once you're not putting an infant in a carseat anymore?

  • We LOVE our Bumbleride Indie twin.  We mostly use it for walks outside because it is big and a pain to load into the car for a trip to the mall or store.  But it is a great all-terrain stroller, and you can also use it to jog with.  

    When DD was a newborn, I wore her and pushed DS in the stroller or shopping cart at the store.  For quick trips, we put DD in the snap and go, and DS helped me push.  

    When DD got too big to be worn and for the snap and go, I got a maclaren twin techno from Craigslist for $50 to keep in the car for mall or shopping trips where I wasn't putting them in the cart.

  • I am kind of in love with this stroller, it looks so cool! I can't get the City Mini becuase it won't fit Britax car seats, so I'm looking for a different one.

    Q: is it super heavy? On amazon it says the shipping weight in 43lbs. and I'm hoping it's not that heavy in real life. Where did you buy yours? Do you know if there are stores that carry them so I can take it for a test drive? I haven't seen them anywhere.

  • I have the P&T Promenade which I like because the toddler can sit in the front without the baby being in a carseat.

    I love my City Mini. It's light weight, easy to push, and even though it's a side-by- side, it fits through doors. 
    This. Love our City Mini!

    The Bumbleride Indie Twin and the Britax B-Ready work with the Britax car seats. We have them both, but I love them for different reasons

  • Mine are 17 mo apart, too. I loooooove my baby jogger city select! It's soo versatile. And its pretty easy to load in our car. Just FYI... I bought mine from Buy buy baby. Because they match prices I found the stroller on amazon and they matched the no tax and no shipping flat price. Took a little convincing, but they did it. When a stroller is that expensive, it's worth the fight!
  • I got the Baby Trend Sit 'n' Stand Ultra. It's like the Joovy shown above where the infant seat goes in the back. DS doesn't like sitting for very long and prefers to walk most places. I figure that once the baby is out of the infant seat, DS will be walking majority of the time so the Sit 'n' Stand works best for us.
