Re: best double stroller??
I just got one! It fits my kids best with a 4 month old and an almost 2 year old with shoulders too broad for macclarens.. Except for the bumbleride indie twin... But that's too $$ for me. I liked the citi mini except for the way it fit my younger one.
In addition... The amazon reviews are great.

I just ordered the Joovy Scooter X2, we're picking it up tomorrow. It's supposed to be somewhat comparable to the City Mini double but with bigger baskets and it's a lot cheaper. I'l give a review next week 
PLEASE DO! I have a single Joovy (for over 2 years) & love it. So I'd love to know how this is. I hate the price & poor basket of the citi mini.
We took our Joovy out for its maiden voyage yesterday, I have a 2.5 year old and a newborn (put a little snuggler in her side) and it was good. My only complaint which is completely livable is the single sunshade for both seats. Its a bit tough to push on an incline, but i think thats the 25lb difference between DD1 & DD2 making it uneven! For the price difference (especially after coupon) I am very happy with my purchase.

I was concerned with the single visor too. Where did you buy yours?
I don't know where you're located, but I got mine at the Huntington Buy Buy Baby. They had one on display so you can try it out.

Re: best double stroller??
So I took the Joovy Scooter X2 out for its maiden voyage today 
I loved the way it handled. The kids seemed very comfortable. The baskets are HUGE and easy to get to. I had heard that some felt the handlebar was too short, but my DH is 6'2" and he was very comfortable pushing it.
My only complaint is the brake bar in the back - I was walking sort of fast, which meant I was taking longer strides, and I kept bumping it with my toe. I know this will be a huge issue with DH because he has a very long stride, so my guess is that I'll end up pushing it mself 90% of the time 
The single shade wasn't a problem, and I love that there's a big "window" I can look at the kids through. The coverage is awesome - it comes all the way over their knees.
The seats can be completely upright or almost totally reclined which is fantastic.
I know some others have complained that when you fold it, the belly bar hits the ground and gets dirty, but I found it very easy to fold and not let the belly bar hit the ground. The belly bar is also super easy to remove.
Overall, I love it so far. The real test will be taking it shopping and seeing how it fits through doorways.

I have the Joovy x2 as well and am SO happy with it. I was going from a city Elite (single) so I was nervous.
It was between the city mini GT and the Joovy X2.
The only winning point on the GT were the wheels.
Love the huge baskets on the X2, I could actually fold it one handed, whereas on the city mini you need two hands one to pull each seat tab.
Comes with the belly bar, cup holders, and I felt like the single sun shade actually looked nicer/neater then the two separate. Also if you look at both you will see even though the strollers are the same width the X2 seats are roomier. My kids looked much more comfy in them.
Both stroller seats reclined easily, brake easily. I was surprised how nicely the joovy maneuvered. The X2 also laid slightly flatter when folded then the mini.
Also I read some reviews about it being uncomfortable for taller people. DH is 6'2 and has no issues so far with the height or stepping on the brake bar when walking.
Feel free to FM me if you have any other questions!

Yes you can! You can even use a non-expired bed bath and beyond coupon, that's what my mom did. Came to just under $200 with tax.
I love this stroller so much! I just wish we had gotten it sooner
The Garden City BBB didn't have it, so they had to call some stores. Ours was sent from MA, and shipping was free since they were out of stock in the store. Took 6 days total to get to us (3 shipping days).
They only have the black in store, green is sold online and orange is totally sold out everywhere.
