city mini double stroller question!

LISAF1197 · February 2013

Hi-

I hear rave reviews about the city mini double and I'm thinking about going with it. Can anyone of you tell me if the city mini allows 2 carseats to snap in it?? I really don't want to get TWO strollers. I know many people get the double snap and go, but if we can avoid it, then I'll be thrilled.

TIA

I am pretty sure it only fits one. By the time you buy two adapters it is about the same price as the double snap and go.

On a side note I just bought a 2011 orange and gray one on albeebaby.com for $300. The other colors are a little more money but still a good deal.

That's what I was afraid of!

That's the one I have been looking at....how do you like it? $300 is a great price...at BRU they are $400...granted it's the 2012 model. But who cares!

Just buy the double snap and go to start- its cheap and so worth it bc it's so easy! Can you get one used from your twins club? I bought the CITI MINI DOUBLE GT and its awesome and so worth the $. I won't even need an exercise stroller bc the wheels on it are great. I'm glad I had the snap and go too to start.

It does not fit two car sears...but we bought our citi mini when the kids were 9 weeks old, reclined the seats and used it that way, never using a dsng...but we weren't out and about as much as some MoMs are. Now it's invaluable....LovE it! But...You can avoid the dsng if you must...you'll just have to wear one and/or limit trips out in the beginning. GL in your choice. Oh also...you can buy dsng on craigslist or twin sales usually for a very reasonable price...so it may be worth looking into ...then you won't have to keep waking up babies to move them. HTH!

Thanks! Yes, I have browsed through CL but haven't looked really. As much as I HATE to buy two strollers looks I must. I don't know how much we'll be venturing out with them but I loved being able to carry DS in the carrier and zip around without waking him up!

We like the city mini but if we were only getting one stroller we would have bought the GT version.

Agreed. The DSNGs also hold their resale value well since it's just a frame; it doesn't tend to show much signs of wear. You could probably buy one used for $30-40 and resell it for maybe $5-10 less than you paid for it. So worth it!

I'll def try to get a used one...any idea if they hold any carseats? Graco, Britax, etc?

I think it is impossible to just have one stroller. My twins are 11 weeks old and we already have 3. (sigh). I bought my DSNG used off CL for $40 and I could not live without it. i use it with my Chicco Keyfit 30s.

I also have the BJCM double which we will start using soon. And I have a single Chicco Liteway for solo trips.

As the others have said, it does not fit 2 car seats. I bought the 2 mini-prams that can go with it and we used that a lot with walks outside this fall. I figure I can resell the prams, even though I will continue to use the stroller for a long time to come. Although, we also have the DSNG and that is invaluable!! So easy to use, just pop their car seats in whenever we are out running errands.

Get the dsng off Craig's list for sure...
