Double Strollers

Does anyone have a recommendation for a double stroller??  I'm particularly interested in the City Mini Double.  If you have that one, what are the pros/cons?  If you don't have that one, do you have another that you would recommend?  (I'm trying to stay away from the sit and stand type models as DD will be 17 months when LO2 is born and I'd rather have her sitting facing front.)

TIA!

Re: Double Strollers

  • We have the Chicco Cortina Together double stroller and love it!  We really wanted something that we could snap our Chicco infant seat into for M without having to buy extra things.  I happened to get it when it first came out and that thing has gone everywhere with us, including Disney World!  It's really nice to have the space below the seats, and it's awesome that they designed it to where it is still accessible if you have the back seat reclined. 
    Our biggest thing with getting a double is that we did not want a side by side.  We found that it was hard to get through some places in stores and whatnot with a side by side, and having a "longer" stroller worked better for us.

  • You can prob get away with carrying baby in ergo or something like that for a while. I have city mini single and problem is not much room underneath. I like in a city within walking distance of a supermarket and wish I had considered that . I get what PP says about double being too wide for places but I always feel like its sad when the kid in the back has to face the back of his her sibling .
  • Thanks ladies!

  • I had a CitySelect, but by the time DD came, DS wanted to walk everywhere. (They are 3 years apart.) You can use it as a single, or configure it multiple ways as a double. You should at least look into it, even though they are expensive. It may be worth it for you. It has a huge basket underneath also.

  • I have 3 kids...when my older two were 1.5 and 3.5 we moved to NYC for my husband's job and we got a city mini double. (prior i had a front/back double and hated everything about it).   I LOVE the city  mini double.  It is super light weight, easy to fold, fits through any regular doorway.  When my 3rd was born, I bought the car seat bar and put the baby and my middle daughter in the double. I also bought a new city mini single for the baby (they weren't out when I had my older girls).
    Highly recommend it.  I have nothing bad to say about it.
    Good luck!
