Re: I'm looking at strollers and carseats online...
Thanks! I have that but haven't begun reading yet.
I think the snap and go makes sense for when they are small. So then I'd need carseats for when they get older as well as strollers. What's more convenient: side by side or back front? Is it easier to push with just the one wheel in front or are those just for jogging? I think I want light weight so that's mcclaren, right? And some of these strollers are $600!!! Say what!?

you Definitely need a snap and go double with infant car seats!!!
so that means you need convertible car seats for later and another stroller. I did a side by side and so far I love it and yes it is CRAZY $$$ but worth it. For me the bumbleride made the most sense. I love how easily it moves, the wheels are great, the canopy and the storage under. most doubles have a center support for the under storage and the bumbleride does not. However, it is heavy!!
At the moment we are using our snap and go when we are out and our bumbleride on walks/runs.
I also have a single snap and go (craigs list) that I use when I just have 1 baby out. and single and double umbrellas that we have not used yet.

Loved the snap n go which I was able to use until 11 months!
Now I use the Combi Twin Side by Side. Love that it folds compactly. Relatively light compared to other doubles out there. Priced on the cheaper end. And fits through *most* doors. I really only have a problem in like small supermarkets (because their register lanes seem to be smaller) and tight stores.

The snap & Go is Great although my one complaint about it is that if you have tall twins it can be an issue.
My twins are 6 mo nths old & are 24 & 26in in height. I always put the smaller guy in back but he is very squished. We are not almost forced to start using our regular city mini.
Just be for warned..if you are tall people, who will have tall kids, this is NOT the stroller for you.
Maybe you can find the one with stadium seating.

Re: I'm looking at strollers and carseats online...
I have the chicco carseats so they do not "snap" into the snap n go. We have it but never used it. I use the baby jogger city select with chicco carseat adapters. It is a heavy and bulky stroller but it works well for us.
Eta: my girls r 26.5 and 26.25 in. No issues with height. Also for parent height, the handle adjusts easily.
