Tandem or side by side double stroller?

 Hi there.  I am trying to decide if I should get the Chico Together double stroller or a side by side jogging stroller.  I have a 4 week old and a19 month old and next month I am starting a workout class where I will be bringing my babies in the double stroller to power walk with me at the park.  I don't know if my infant will be able to be in a jogging stroller yet and don't think the jogging stroller will be practical for indoor use.  We won't be using the stroller outside except to take walks at the Park for my class, which is why I'm leaning towards the tandem but I also read that tandem strollers are hard to push.  Suggestions?

    I have a 19-month-old and my twins are due next month, so I am getting a Britax B-Ready stroller.   I can adapt to hold 2 infant car seats, 1 toddler and 1 infant, or 2 toddlers.   This may be a good idea since you'll be able to use it

    Personally I like tandem. My only advice is to go to a store plop your kids in it and take it for a test drive. Some are very hard to push.

    I prefer the tandem vs side by side

    For one reason: doorways.

    Sure you might be thinking "But the doors at the mall aren't an issue"

    yeah until you need to drive that puppy into a dr's office.

    You will build more arm muscle if you push a tandem :]

    I would look at the city select, britax b ready and Phil and teds for tandem strollers. If you think you might like a side by side, I would look at the city mini, city mini gt, or britax

    I bought the Chicco together and after 3 months was ready to push it into the river. It's a beast and with two carseats,good lord.

    I recently bought the City Mini Double GT and can't express how much better it is. I can push it with one hand, hav

    Phil & Ted makes an amazing double stroller. Yes its expensive, but my sister loved it with her boys that are 2 years apart
