twin mommies tandem or side by side????
What did you choose and why?? I saw two different ones i liked but didnt know which one I should ask for. I found the baby jogger city micro for real cheap and I also liked the Safety 1st two way tandem. But I have no clue. Share your BTDT experience please!!

I plan on using the Snap N Go while they are in infant carriers.
Once they are out of them I registered for a side by side...this combi:

Re: twin mommies tandem or side by side????
I plan on using the snap n go for as long as possible too (thanks to Deanna) but then when they graduate out of that I wasn't sure which one to use. I kinda like that the baby jogger one in all its reviews says how easy it i to maneuver, but I love that the tandem I can have them sit facing each other. so confused

Re: twin mommies tandem or side by side????
I used double snap and go for when they were younger, but bought a tandem. It was recommended by my sister, because you can't get into some stores or go through some stores with a side by side when the isles are too narrow.
Honestly, I rarely go anywhere with a stroller now. WE mainly use a stroller for walks and if we go to the mall (rarely go with the girls, they want everything they see).

Re: twin mommies tandem or side by side????
I used the snap and go and then went to the bumbleride indie twin and I LOVE it.
I would def go side by side. I feel like I was pushing a train with the snap and go

Loved it in the store!
Plus I figure with a side by side they'd be able to share snacks/toys/etc.

Re: twin mommies tandem or side by side????
i knew i wanted the city mini double. so i just waited until we were close to outrgrowing the snap and go.
its expensive but i love it.. i am sure the city micro is very similar. i love the side by side .
but think about it and after you use the snap and go for a while.. see how you like the tandem! then go from there!

Re: twin mommies tandem or side by side????
I am mostly using the Snap N Go now (it is soooo much easier when you are out), which is tandem. But, I also have a Bumbleride Indie Twin, which is side by side. I guess I just felt like I didnt want one to be in the back. With the side by side, they both have an unobstructed view and can also see eachother.

yep and the guy told me that it's the same width as a wheelchair so it fits pretty much anywhere and you don't have to worry about kicking or hairpulling!!! it's sooooo easy to fold too!!!!! in fact this is the 2nd time i've had this stroller. i had it with my boys(they were 16 months apart) and loved it then too!! i remember people telling me wow you fold that thing so easily!!! and it folds twice which is great and has a shoulder strap to carry it. we used it in Disney and it was fabulous!!!!!!

Combi has 3 cupholders, no tray. But you can put snacks in the center cupholder.
There is no parent tray either and the underneath storage is small, but I have the stroller and love it. I bought an attachment for the parent tray. I love how light the stroller is and how it is very compact (for a double) when folded up.

i looked at it in the store and like it, but is it sturdy enough as the babies get bigger? Mine are 15mths and I feel like its a little flimsy. I have to go back and put them in it, I was out with the 3 kids and didn't feel like doing it@ LOL

my friend has 2 yr old twins and still uses it, so I assume its ok for older kids! But obviously I havent tried myself yet.
