City Mini Double VS Valco EX Double

So after lots of research I've had my heart set on the City Mini Double for the twins but now I may be able to get my hands on a used Valco EX Double stroller in very good condition and at a good price.  Any MoM's have experience with both of these and can share any pros/cons for both and their preference??  Double strollers are such a big purchase- I want to get it right!!

TIA!!

    I went with the city mini gt it's a huge purchase I know what you mean! I don't spend 620 daily! In my case I've hoarded all giftcards I've received and in the end still have money on them, so really its from gift money. I went to the Buy Buy Baby near me and tested all of them. They have the largest selection out. It was between the citi mini and the combi twin. While close in weight, folding up ease and drive, in the end the citi mini literally glided and I even tried it through doorways. My husband said why waste time its the best. We need the GT tires because we hike. I think if you go and try them all you will see for yourself. Our reasoning for spending that much is the GT is supposed to last till they are 5 yrs old and the resale value is amazing! So that helped us with such a big purchase. Good luck!

    We also have the CM GT and loooove it. It beat out all the others because of the easy fold and awesome ride/maneuverability.

    I haven't used it for my twins since they aren't here yet. However, after testing out many strollers at buy buy baby, I fell in love with the city mini double and so that is what we went with. It is such a nice stroller, pushes and turns very easily. It is a little cumbersome to get into my car folded up but I am also very pregnant so I am guessing it will be a little easier once they are here.

    We have the regular City Mini double and love it. Still use it once in a blue moon if we're going to be doing a lot of walking. Great stroller. I love how lightweight it is, easy to fold, easy to steer, amazing sunshades ... I've not seen a Valco in person though so I can't compare.

    I was also going to get the city mini but ended up getting a valco zee two.I used a BBB 20% off coupon and had free shipping.So far I really like the stroller and I think it is worth looking at online.
