another stroller question-tandem or sbs?
I already have a double SnG, thanks to a LOVELY LIF'er :)
My question is when registering for one after they grow out of the SnG, should I look into a tandem or sbs stroller? My concerns are fitting through doors, aisles, etc.
I also want something lightweight/easy to manuever.
TIA!

I find my side by side is soooooo much easier to maneuver then the snap and go. It was recommended to me to get a side by side with twins. So far we only use it for walks etc, but I love my bumbleride indie.

We have the Cpmbi twin SBS as well as the Graco Duo Glider Tandum. I LOVE the SBS and absolutely HATE the tandum. The Tandum is heavier and not as east to Maneuver. The SBS is easy to maneuver and i can push it with one had. I;ve never had a problem fitting through doorways with it except for once at my OB's office. They just have old doors i think though. All stores i've been in i have been able to go through the doors with no problem. I also like the City Mini Double. I;m trying to convince DH to get one and get rid of our Graco Tandum.

Thanks, what advantages do the CM double have over the combi twin?
Im actually looking at both of those

Re: another stroller question-tandem or sbs?
I think the CM is slightly easier to handle but there is not much of a difference at all. It looks more comfy for the babies IMO and the canopy's on top cover the sun better. We have the single CM for the new baby when he arrives and even DH says he wished we went with the double at first. But still, the Combi works very well and is more affordable. If i dont get the double CM i wont be devastated. The only downsides i feel about having a SBS stroller is the under carriage. They are not big at all. But we have the Skip hop duo deluxe diaper bag (which has become my pocketbook when i am out with the kids) and it snaps on to the stroller nicely.

Re: another stroller question-tandem or sbs?
So far I love by sbs. I have the Combi Twin Sport. It is relatively lightweight considering it is a double. Folds compactly. And not too difficult to maneuver. I only have a problem in small stores getting around. And I don't think I have come across a door we didn't fit through.

Ive seen a few recommendations for the Combi Twin Sport. Can you use Gracco car seats with this?

Not sure. I used the Snap N Go with the Graco Infant Carriers.

Same here. I have the bumbleride too. Love it. It fits through all doors I've tried. Sometimes I have to take the cupholder off, but then it's no problem.
