Recommend your stroller

I have had about 10 different strollers. Mainly all tandem style. Now that my twins are a little over 1, I'm on the market for a side by side. (They have learned to reach over and grab whoever is in front and it drives them crazy) I currently have the contours optima and hate all the attachments (having to undo it and assemble it every trip) I'd preferably like a SUPER SUPER narrow side by side. With trays in front or without isn't a huge deal. The cheaper the better. Even open to umbrella type.

Google isn't helping me much and I want real people reviews that I can trust from other MoMs :)

TIA!

Re: Recommend your stroller

  • Must fit through standard doorway!

  • I have the contours too and am SO disappointed in it! I ended up getting a Joovy twin for our car seats because I was sick of the pain in the ass set up and take apart of the contours while my girls sat in a hot car. 

    I am eyeing the Maclaren twin triumph, I know its $$$ and I feel like an a$s buying another pricey stroller after already having the contours as my "nice" stroller but if we get 3 years out of it, may be worth it. And I wouldn't get the one that goes from infant on, just the cheaper less fancy one. Curious to see what other people post!!

  • My mom really likes the Combi Twin Sport that I got her, but she mostly uses it for walks around her neighborhood and I'm not sure how it would be in doorways.  Might be worth checking out, though.

  • We have a bob duallie, which fits none of your criteria. HOWEVER, it does fit through all standard doorways - it's ADA width so anyplace that is handicap accessible, it's fine.

    Do they sell SBS that aren't ADA width? That'd be a waste.

  • We have the baby jogger city select which is a tandem but were in the market recently for a sbs as well. We tried the joovy and hated it so much I returned it to buy buy baby. We ended up finding a city mini GT on Albee baby for like $375 and honestly it was worth every penny. We love how light it is and also the fact that it fits through standard doorways. It turns on a dime and is just awesome. Only two complaints are there's no cup holders or any storage on the top which stinks. And our daughter is a little peanut and sometimes slides down a little but they still look pretty comfy!

  • We just got a city mini double, but we haven't used it yet.  It seems very maneuverable for a double though.

  • I have the Britax B Agile and love it. It's very similar to the city mini except the basket is much easier to access. I love it!

    I have used the Combi Twin Sport ever since switching from the Snap and Go.  They are going to be 3 next month and I still love it.  Best part is how it folds in half so its perfect in the trunk.  Lightweight and super easy to maneuver and set up.  I even used a buggy board with it for my older daughter when she was littler.
  • I have the City Select which I hate.  I am currently trying to sell it and want this stroller: https://www.valcobaby.com/products/strollers/model/zee-two.html

    It seems to have everything I want.  SBS, big basket, fits through all doorways, folds easily, etc.
    That being said though there is none locally for me to play with.  Anyone have any real life experience with it?

  • @JodiAriel‌ why do you hate the city versa? I was thinking about getting the twin one and it was the top of my list. Would love to know its flaws before I move forward

    Thanks!
