    I agree with @LittleLady77‌. We keep the double snap and go handy in the car. It is super easy to pop up and back down and fairly light. We use a regular stroller at home for walks though.

    Infant seats w a double snap n go. Around 8-9mo or so, we had a brief moment of using a double stroller and taking them out of their car seats. Now we just use a cart (take them out of their seat). They're 13mo and still in buckets but will likely change soon since one is fairly close to the 30in height limit.

    We used carrier seats and snap and go stroller.,, so much easier and you don't have to wake sleeping babies when going in and out of the store or house. Now they are in their big girl seats and it's trickier getting them in and out of the house by myself.

    Obviously I haven't "field tested" this just yet, but we got the Joovy Twin Roo snap and go and will use it with our Chicco car seats.. At least as long as we are able. I do have my eye on some double strollers but the jogging ones are so expensive!!

    We are switching to convertible car seats right now for my 1 yr olds. When i saw the low starting weight, I thought, "Why didn't I just get these to begin with?" But then I remembered that it would have been impossible to do anything by myself if both twins had to come out of their car seats when we arrived anywhere. Not to mention moving them if they are sleeping.

    I have 6 week old twins. I love the Joovy Roo with the Chicco car seats. You don't need any adapters, the car seats click right in. And it's not as long as the double snap and go so it's easier for me to maneuver by myself through doorways.
