Losing my mind trying to choose a double stroller

Losing my mind trying to choose a double stroller

This is truly the thorn in my side. DD will be 18 months when baby arrives. DH and I have been researching online for what seems like forever. I'm hoping someone here has a suggestion we've overlooked.

Here are our musts:

1) Large basket (this is why the City Mini is not an option)

2) Child snack trays (we found a stroller we really like, but they don't make child trays for it)

3) Nothing with a low seat in the back (i.e., Phil & Ted)

Anyone have a suggestion?

**City Mini is not an option because of the basket.

have you looked into the Britax double stroller. If I remember correctly their basked is much more accessible than the city mini

We went with the Bob, my DD is 3 and would not tolerate the back seat of the Vista we have. Stroll-air (available at BBB) and city mini GT were recommended to us as well.

I love my city mini, if my kids were closer in age I would get a CM double but since my son will be 3 when LO arrives I will get a sit n stand I think

We did the britax b-agile double stroller -- especially b/c of the basket! Added the tray for snacks which is inexpensive.

I have this for my twin boys, it's great!

Same as the city mini but better features like the larger basket with easier access and a handlebar that is adjustable.

My friend has boys 20 months apart and loves her City Select. The second seat can face either in or out, and it's not low at all.

I got the Chicco Cortina Together Double stroller. It has 2 cup holders off the front, or a bar, but doesn't come with a tray. It can take an infant seat in either the front or back. Watch the review on YouTube by Babygizmo to see all the features. My DD is almost 3 & my DS is 5 weeks.

I have the city select and I love it! It has a huge basket and the seat variations are a nice bonus too!

I saw someone with a Joovy today at the library. It has a much better basket than my city mini GT

Re: Losing my mind trying to choose a double stroller

I am in the same situation...my dd will also be 18 months when my ds will be born...I've been looking like crazy also but can't find anything I like...I want some thing than can accommodate my chicco car seat without being so bulky....people have recommended to me the countours tandem double stroller and the joovy caboose ultralight too...I have yet to go look at either because it stresses me out trying to find the perfect double stroller...lol
