Best double stroller?

I have the double snap and go to use right now with my twins infant seats. Eventually I'll need something new. Recommend your double stroller. Price isn't an issue and not planning to use with infant seats since I have the snap and go

Best double stroller?

Do you want tandem or side by side?

I prefer tandem... I guess? I suppose it's easier to navigate in the store?

Best double stroller?

I love my joovy x2. Its side by side though. It's the width of a wheelchair so it fits through standard door openings. Baskets underneath are huge. Easy to maneuver and fold.

I know a lot of people like uppababy vista which is tandem.

Best double stroller?

I did a ton of research. Side by Side is sooo much better and I had been set on tandem stroller. I have the citi mini double and altho pricey it is worth every penny. It is smoother then my single and honestly fits through almost all doorways. It is great for walks etc.. I think the joovy x2 is another good option if money is an issue.

I agree. When we had dd1 we bought a stroller that would covert to a tandem double. Well I hated it as a double and bought the joovy side by side. It's a great stroller for the price. Especially since we only use it at zoos, parks, etc.

Was there a reason tandems were worse? I have the double snap and go which rides as a tandem. Is it I guess harder to push and turn as they get bigger? Price doesn't matter I just want a good quality stroller since I'll be using it a while and something that is easy to maneuver!
Thanks for the recommendations!!!

Pushing it is much harder (imo) and eventually one of them really struggles to see. My daughters love to sit next to each other and be in full view of what is going on. I thought maneuvering with a tandem would be easier but it really isnt.

Someone gets the "better" seat while the other is on the bottom. It's harder to push and folding with the extra seat which for most, if not all?, you have to take off first.

My girls love sitting next to each other and there isn't a better seat which avoids fights.

Thanks for pointing this out! I didn't think about fights over the "better seat" lol I'm going to go to babies r us and try out the city mini and then buy online. They have 20% off this weekend including the strollers so I figure it's a good time to snatch up!

Best double stroller?

i really like our Graco Modes Double Stroller. But, I should state that my dd is 3 years older than my son and uses the sit and stand ledge more often than the actual seat anymore.

I don't have the coupon book, but baby jogger is often excluded.
If you want to try out a few different strollers, buybuybaby has a better selection. They also have some sand bag babies to add some weight to the stroller.

ETA- I like the side by side better than tandem.

if you decide on the baby jogger, check out diapers.com or allbeebaby they offer discounts on this brand from time to time

I got 30% off when buying additional pieces for my city select when DS was born

I got my britax double from kohls. They don't allow coupons on most baby gear but you can get a good chunk of kohls cash and money back from ebates if you time it right.

love my city select. It's a tandem, but the kids can face each other, both can face in, both can face out, etc. I like that I can attach my bassinet or infant car seat on the top when I have my 2nd as well
