stroller

We are looking for a new stroller. We currently have a Graco but I would like something that has the girls facing the same direction. Any suggestions?

I would suggest that you go to a store- BRU, Buy Buy Baby- and look/test out some. You will get all sorts of answers - but I always take what others say as a guide- if I am going to spend money on something I want to actually touch it and try it out to see if it lives up to all the hype. I also think people think they need these elaborate strollers to only find out that they are a PITA to get in their car, fold down, or are too heavy to manage- then you blew a bunch of money on something that takes up space, and you can only resale at a loss ( because I don't care what brand your stroller is or how many times it has been used- it is USED and to me only worth 50% of what you paid if you used it once and in great shape)

We registered for the Chicco together stroller. It goes with the Chicco Keyfit car seats that snap on to the stroller.

Went to BRU to try some out last weekend and was totally disappointed--they had ZERO twin/double strollers on site to try out. It was so frustrating! Going to try Buy Buy Baby this weekend...

I adore our BJCM GT. But also second the Buy Buy Baby suggestions

My boss, who has twins himself, recommended the Mountain Buggy Duet to me when I told him we're having twins. It just arrived, so I haven't tested it yet, but they face same direction and it fits thru most doorways!

Like cookiesmac I also have the Mountain Buggy Duet. If I lived in a place with nicely paved streets and sidewalks and wide doorways I would most likely have gone with a double umbrella stroller. Not a reality for me. The main things I was looking for were air filled tires and something not obnoxiously large. I have had my Mountain Buggy for about a month now and love it. The wheels and turning ability are great, especially on uneven surfaces and I can push, turn, control it with one hand. The seats recline well and the sun shades are very generous. There is a large basket underneath and it folds up to a nice size. There isn't a parent console, maybe this can be bought as an accessory, but this was not a big concern for me. There is one soft sided drink holder cup and a wrist safety strap. I had a jogger before and loved having a hand brake as I live in a hilly location but I can easily control it going downhill without a brake. When I first received it there was definitely a learning curve in learning how to collapse it but once I figured it out it is nice and easy.

We have the Combi stroller and it's very light and easy to push, however I still wish I would have bought the City Mini. They had both when we registered and I really liked the way the City Mini felt. We ended up with the Combi b/c online it appeared you could put both carriers in it at once but the pics we misleading. From talking to other moms, we weren't the only ones that thought that.
