double strollrs-Citi mini or similar or sit and stand-Which is better??

I dreaded deciding on the strollers for DC#1 I feel like this is so much worse since now there are more options.

Which do you feel is better a Citi Mini or something similar or a sit and stand?

Ideally, I would like to use the infant car seat within the stroller. Can you do for most options?

Also, which is better side by side or front to back strollers?

I'm in the same boat.
think we're going for the citi mini.
DS will only be 26 months when the baby is here and still takes naps. I don't see him standing too long.

We are getting both the city mini and the Joovy sit and stand. Ds will be 27 months and we tested them both and loved them both for different reasons. We will use the City mini for outdoor stuff and places that space isnt limited and the Sit n stand for the grocery store or mall and such places that space is limited.

I have the City Classic double and love it! My DDs are 14 months apart and we have been using it since DD#2 was 3 months old. Now at 29 and 15 months, they still love to go for walks in it. Highly recommend it or any Baby Jogger doubles. Chat Icon

We got the combi sport double side by side over the citi mini since it fit my older DD much better. Ours are 13 months apart and we've been using it for the past 8 months ans still love it.

I was thinking of doing this. But wonder if its worth it being that I already have three strollers already.

Are the side by side City minis extremely wide to go through standard doorways?

We have both

We use the side by side citi mini when both kids may get tired from being out and walking around

We have the Bugaboo with the standing cart for when DS#1 wants to stand and ride for shorter trips

my friend just bought a one step ahead double stroller. you can use most car seats with it. it converts to a sit and stand i believe.

I think I read they fit through most door ways but I noticed while I was at the mall and such what a hard time mothers had maneuvering a side by side.
I currently only have 1 stroller for DS so I think buying two is totally worth it.

Really? That is my concern if they can fit through a standard store door.

My boys are 23 months apart---I have a BOB double and have gotten a ton of use out of it. The sit and stand, not as much, my older DS would prefer just to walk when I have the sit and stand, he doesn't like being in the back, but I guess every kid is different. So I primarily use my BOB double or my pliko3 single that has a little standing board on the back for quick rides. I tried out the city mini and the BOB, in the end I chose the BOB because I liked how the infant seat went on better, the steering and my older DS liked the seat better.

My boys are 23 months apart and we decided on the citi mini and we bought the infant attachment for it. I think it's a great stroller, I know I will love it even more when they can both sit in it and I don't have to use the infant carrier any longer but for now it's really convenient and I would definitely recommend it to my friends.
