Double stroller advice

I have been researching double strollers b/c come March I will need one. Do side by side strollers make it possible to put an infant car seat in it? I have only seen the one in back of the other hold the infant seat. I am sure both types have pros and cons. I just would appreciate some opinions from the Moms who have either. What do you like or don't like about your double stroller?
Maybe this will help: the babies will be less than a year apart.

TIA

Re: Double stroller advice

I have the Duo Glider and a Mountain Buggy. I used the Duo Glider w/ infant seats and haven't used it since. I think it would probably be a good option for 2 kids of different ages, but for us, I didn't like the fact that the front seat doesn't recline fully. I still plan on using it on vacations or the like when my MB is too cumbersome to take along...

...which brings me to my next point. I do love my MB (I have the Urban Double). I purchased it b/c I loved how it fit through standard doorways (it's 28.5 inches wide which is one of the narrowest out there) and the versatility that it has. In the future, I can buy a carseat attachement for it, a kiddy board to accommodate up to 3 kids. It also has a great accessory line. On the downside, it's heavy and will take up much of your trunk, depending on what type of car/suv you have.

HTH.

I have the duoglider and like that it is pretty sturdy on the roads, because I walk them a lot, and it is so easy to manuver. I hate that it is so heavy.
I am still comtemplating on whether to get a side by side, but I cant bear to spend $300 on the one I want.
You have to just try testing them out in the stores and see what you like.
Every stroller will have its pros and cons

Re: Double stroller advice

the combi seems easy to manage and you can put an infant carrier in it.

Peg Perego side by side is light and easy to manage..if you will be using for heavy rocky roads i would choose something with bigger wheels.

Re: Double stroller advice

I'm leaning toward the Mountain buggy. I originally wanted a stroller that had one seat in front of the other. I tried to use it today in BRU and had a real hard time gauging distances from the front of the stroller. Since I'm only 5'2", I found it difficult to see over the first seat.
