confused about double strollers

I'm due in September. DS will be exactly 2 years old.

I don't know what I "need". I don't understand what a sit and stand is and I'm not sure if I need that or a traditional double stroller and what I should be looking for.

I like the look of the double city mini - but I read that it doesn't hold an infant seat.... I heard one step ahead has something that converts from a double to a sit and stand....

anyway - can someone point me in the right direction? LOL The more I read the more confused I get!

Re: confused about double strollers

I only have DS, so I can't really help with what you 'need', but I do know that the citymini has a car seat adapter---I have the single and will most likely get this as my double when its time.
Here is the link to the adapter for double or single

Also, check out this link, strollerdepot has video demos of tons of strollers, including many doubles & sit&stands, it will help you get an idea of the different features! GL!

Mine will be 23 months apart when the baby comes. Well I ended up getting 2 strollers - b/c I figured I would have different needs.

I got the bumbleride indie twin - which takes an infant seat. The city mini I believe now does take an infant seat since they added an adaptor bar this year.

I also go the Sit and stand deluxe from One Step ahead. I like that one b.c it has two seats and then the rear seat is removable so that the older child can use it as a sit and stand when you don't want to use the seat.

I looked at it this way - the sit and stand was for shorter trips, shopping where a side by side doesn't easily fit, or for trips where DD will want to run and not sit in a stroller, so I can convert it to a sit and stand. I will use the side by side (which is also a jogger) for long walks, days at the zoo etc where they can both see and DD will be comfortable when she decides she is tired of walking.

My DC are 5 months and 18 months and I bought the Citi Mini double stroller a few weeks ago. I am not using it with a car seat, but I know they sell an adapter. So far I like it, and my DC seem to like it too. Today we were out shopping and they both fell asleep in it, at the same time, for 1.5 hours.
