can you help me decide on a stroller??

I registered for the Graco duoglider double that accepts the snap n go infant seats. I like it, but know it might get bulky. Anyway, they did make improvements on it as far as the fold and size. My SIL is suggesting I get this double for the snap n go and she would get it for us. Now, would I need both? I eventually want a jogging stroller since I'm a runner, but figured I'd hold off on that since they really can't go in that immediately anyway - I feel bad b/c my MIL already bought the Graco for us. Plus, I need to see if this baby trend one (picture below) is compatible for the graco seats so we don't need to change the infant seats on our registry - it says "fits most seats". My thought was maybe get the baby trend snap n go and then just use the jogging stroller later....any ideas?? Thanks....

i would just get the snap and go for now.. i had the duo glider.. when they came out of the car seats and sat in the stroller it was a fight whoever sat in the back kicke the front.. also the front doesnt recline a anywhere near as far back as the back one does.. i felt like we ha to get tomany strollers.. i then bought a side by side (jeep) and the boys loved it and it reclinedd....

I am leaning towards that. DH feels we should go w/ the duo glider b/c his mom already bought it. I still think we can keep both and use the duo glider more for later on after the infant seats and exchange it for a lighter stroller if we end up finding it too heavy.

I know you're probably right; I sort of convinced DH to let my SIL get us the snap n go and said we'll keep the duo glider as well. This way, at least whomever takes care of them while we're at work has the option of the lighter snap n go and if I'm out alone w/ them, I don't have to lug the big stroller. He seems to be ok w/ that. My thought is maybe he'll see how big it is and agree to swap it out. But I don't want to do it now b/c he is so worried his mom will get offended! So it's one of those "after the shower" things. Thanks for the tip though, I will check out that recline. We did see it in the store awhile ago and I was fine w/ it and it got great reviews, so I'm not stressing over it yet.
