Suggestions for a double stroller?

My girls are 2 years apart (currently 3 & 14 months). I'm another one that loves the Sit & Stand.

Hey there...I have 2 kids that are 21 months apart, and did a ton of research on this stroller business!  I ended up with the sit & stand (available at lots of different stores, some have the 2nd seat, and some just have the sitting platform for the 2nd kiddo...just decide which you think you want. My older daughter did fine with just the platform, loved it, actually...). It is great for places that are a little more compact, like grocery store aisles and when you are going into other stores. It's a great one, and fairly resonable. I recently purchased the double Bob, the Revolution Jogger, which has been fantastic....but spendy. We live on a gravel road, so to go on a walk with both kids, I really needed a jogger, and I just love it. Like the PP said, it is the smoothest ride ever, I could go on and on about it. Good luck with 2! It's lots of fun.

I bought the Sit and Stand you can find them at target or babies r us. I love it! The car seat for the infant can snap on in front and your toddler can sit or stand in the back. Once your baby is out of the infant sit you take that attachment off and you can use the seat like a regular stroller. Its wonderful. the only down fall if your toddler gets sleepy their isnt a way to recline him in the back. My daughter is 21 months and my son is 5 months. I think its a great stroller and conveinant for two babies close in age

Hi, I have a Bob Revolution double jogging stroller. It's absolutely fabulous! Feels like it's floating on a cushion of air when I push it along. Also, the front wheel swivels, an important feature if you decide to go for the jogger style stroller. This one has individual pulldown shades so each child can be shaded differently. It is 32" wide, which means that it is ADA compliant, so anywhere a wheelchair can go, this stroller can go. It seems a little bulky for folding and travelling, but Gramma has a Honda Civic and it fits in her trunk. They are a little pricey (I went halfsies with Gramma on ours), but the resale value is also very high when you're done with it.



I was going to choose a stroller with stadium style seating (front and back) instead of side by side, but my girls are only 15 months apart, and I realized that it would never seem "fair" to the one in the back. If they were a little farther apart in age, I would've picked a Phil and Teds, those things are amazing!



Good luck!

hey kristin, the best thing i spent my dosh on was the jane power twin suitable for either twins or a toddler and a baby, its not side by side which means u can get into all shops and its three wheeler and very light weight, u attach the car seat facing u and then yor toddler sits in the front seat or baby can lie flat in rear seat, its fab,it also fits into the boot of a car really easily aswell, have a look on google for  more infomation, hope this helps

We tried two different ones, checked consumer reports, and read a lot of reviews...that said our favorite was "sit and stand, by Baby Trend" not only is it easy to push and manuver it folds up and is very compact. I have a little Toyota Yaris and it fits into the trunk nicely. Another cool feature is the back seat comes out when your older one is too big for it and they can stand on a platform in the back or just sit on a bench. They sell them at Target that is where we got ours and they are pretty affordable. The Graco ones aren't bad but we found they were harder to manuver and turn.

The one where one is behind the other works better when you are going shopping, makes it easier to fit down isles and through doors, but it is a bit heavier. The one where they are side by side is nice too because they can BOTH see more of what is around them, and is easier to pack up and take somewhere. My twins are 9 now, but when they were little I had both kinds of strollers, it was very nice. If you watch rummage sales you can sometimes find either one for next to nothing, makes it easier to own two.

We have the Zooper Tango side by side and love it. It fits through all doorways and is not to heavy at all. I have a Honda civic and it fits perfectly in the trunk with extra room......

We have a great double stroller, it is a schwinn side by side stroller. It is a jogging stroller and turns and folds easily. We love it
