Re: Double stroller recommendations please!!

Although it's very expensive, I got the City Select. It's a single stroller that can convert to a double and then back to a single. I too have a 3yr old and an infant. I didn't know how longer my older DD would want to be in a stroller, so I opted for the City Select. I totally love it! There are so many seat combinations! And I can even get a kickboard for the back if I wanted to!

Re: Double stroller recommendations please!!

I have the Joovy Ergo Caboose and am very happy with it. When DD was in the infant seat she was in that in the back with DS up front. Now that she's bigger she goes in the front and he can sit or stand in the back. It's more of a "jump" seat in the back but DS who was not quite 3 when DD was born is very tall and didn't fit in any of the "normal" doubles I could test out. This fit our needs quite well.

I like the Joovy x2

I only saw 1 other person with it (they bought it at a trade show).

It's not expensive & my kids are more comfy in it that Macclaren & Citi mini... oh, and I won't pay $600 or more for a stroller.

Re: Double stroller recommendations please!!

We have the City Select, my boys are 19 months apart. I like it better then a regular double because I just have to keep one stroller in the car. When it's just me and the baby, I pull out the stroller, I have the infant seat attachment. When it's the two boys, it's the infant seat attachment and the second seat. When it's my 2 yr old, it's just the second seat. When DS#2 is out of the infant seat we have another seat for him. I like that it's so versatile. Sometimes we go out and DS#1 is fine with walking and sometimes he isn't so I have many options. The basket is really big and accessible. It's a little tough to get to with the second seat lower but still very huge.

Negatives:
It's heavy and cumbersome. I have a Jeep and when I fold it shut and put the break on the one set of wheels doesn't lock and that's the set on the ground when you fold up so it wiggles and it's annoying then I have to lift it into my trunk.
Every.single.thing is extra. It comes with one seat, that's it. I had to buy the infant adapter, the second seat, and the cup/storage holder by the handles which for me, is a must for my phone, keys, and a sippy.
Then there's the price. It's expensive and we don't have money to be blowing like that but I did months and months of research and felt like it was the best stroller for all of our needs and that we wouldn't need to purchase another one. I waited until I found a great deal online, at the end of the year when the new ones were coming out, I got the 2011 for a steal with a free second seat. We asked for money towards it during the holidays instead of gifts and the infant adapter and the cup holder we got at our sprinkle. So, it was doable for us. I got mine at pishposhbaby.com....free shipping and no tax.

I just ordered Phil and Ted's double stroller. They have it on sale on costco online. It is a couple of hundred dollars cheaper than other places. I like that it isn't bulky.

I love my BOB Duallie. I keep saying that I want to sell it, but my 5 and 7 year olds jump in sometimes! They run next to me and then when they get tired, they take a rest...LOL

I have the city mini double, love it. I used it for my almost three yr old and newborn, last time. Now I'll be using it again for 4 yr old and newborn, for walks, fairs, malls. Since it does pull a little with the weight distribution, most often I'll have my four yr old walk on shorter trips.
