Stroller Question - help!

I am in stroller / carseat hell! there are so many to choose from!

i have a few questions though:

1) can you use a snap and go with twins? if so, is it going to be too heavy to have two carseats to puch around?

2) cany anyone recommend a good twin stroller?

3) are you getting an infant carseat and stroller AND another one for when they get bigger?

thank you!! Chat Icon

Re: Stroller Question - help!

I can't recommend a good stroller yet, but I can tell you that I registered for the double snap and go (so, yes, you can use it with twins)...all of the posts I have read said that they couldn't live without it having twins.
I also registered for the Double City Mini for when they get bigger. I have heard good things about that one, as well.

I got the Double Snap and Go to use for when they are infants.

I also got the Citi Mini for when they are bigger.

They both seem pretty lightweight!

Re: Stroller Question - help!

I have the double snap and go which I use all the time. I could not live without it. I have two Graco snugride infant seats that I use with it.

I also have a City Mini double stroller which I use for walks and stuff. My boys are just under 6 months old.

ETA once they are no longer in the infant carseats I will retire the snap & go Chat Icon and use the City Mini exclusively. The snap & go is surprisingly easy to push/maneuver, although now that my twins are over 30 lbs combined its getting a little more difficult. I got the regular snugrides as opposed to the snugride 32 because I was concerned about the weight. I'm hoping to get another 4-5 months out of them.

oh that's great news! thanks everyone! I really LOVE the idea of a snap n go, but i was afraid it was going to be too heavy!

this makes me feel better bc i think it's such a great idea to snap the car seat into the stroller.

i have the snap and go and it is pretty much all i use for them. together they weight about 31lbs and i still can maneuver it pretty easily. i actually am able to walk it across a parking lot with one hand while holding my older DS hand Chat Icon (with a little help from my hip here and there)

I was so very Chat Icon when I had to retire my snap and go! It was the best stroller ever! I really loved it! It made my life so very easy!

i registered for snap and go and Combi twin sport for when they are bigger. Definately regsister for two. They are pricey. we plan on storing the 2nd one at one of our parents until they outgrow the snap and go.

i have the baby jogger city select, no snap and go because both car seats snap right into the city select, its just like a snap and go, i took it to the dr and was really happy with it

Re: Stroller Question - help!

I used the snap and go until they were around 6 months, but I could have gone a lot longer. I thought that they didn't really like being on the recline in the snap and go.
I have a maclaren twin techno that I use for everyday and a instep safari that I use for parks, walks, etc.

I have the snap n go for when they are newborns and I got the city mini stroller at my shower.
The sanp n go is a hand me down and from everyone I talk to say that the snap n go is a MUST!
