How did you make a decision about a multiple stroller?

I have been given a double stroller (but they have to be 6 months before I can use it). And everyone keeps telling me that it is enough. I can take all 3 out with one baby n the baby bjorn and the other 2 in the stroller.
My babies will most likely be born in sept/oct so I probably won't be going out too much in the winter (maybe Halloween?). But, what about when they are older?
Anyway, just wondering what your opinions were.

i knew i wanted a front to back one bc it wont fit through the doors of stores in my neighborhood if i had side to side

My son had just turned 2 when the twins were born. I got a triple stroller. I love it! It doesn't fit through doorways, but it is great for long walks outside. My ds is almost 3 now so can walk, but not walk fast for 3 miles.

My friend has an older ds and then triplets. They got 2 of the double jeep umbrella strollers and attched them with the stroller connectors. That is a great cheap option to get a double umbrella and attach o a single umbrella. And then if you have someone with you, you can each push one.

I asked many people with twins who advised me NOT to get side by side or I would regret it. I am going with the City Select. It has stadium seating also which is great & seats can change to any direction you want.
It is very pricey but think it will be worth it.

i am getting the valco tir mode double - it allows for babies from 0 months up plus it has an add on joey seat for my almost 2 year old on the front to sit - it is one of the most narrow side by side

First off I dont think that you will want to push 2 in a stroller and carry one in a bejorn..... I always had another person with me when I went out with all 3 of them. I have a double and a single and had the kids in the infant carseat in the stroller for the first 6 months then they went directly into the stroller.

I do have the Combi Twin Sport and LOVE it.... I never had any issues with not being able to fit thru any doors.

I also have a triple jogger that I use for walks around the neighborhood and it does fit in the back of my Suburban if I want to take them to the boardwalk or someplace else outside for a walk.

The front to back double stoller I felt was to dam heavy and bulky to keep putting in and out of the car. The Combi is very light and folds up pretty compact.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

I'm due in the beginning of December too with Twins. My doctor mentioned I will probably go too in November. Maybe around 36 weeks. I'm so looking forward to what genders I'm carrying. I also think I'm going with the city select stroller. I was also looking at the Kolcraft Tandem, but is a little longer then the city select.

I did not get the side to side because I was also told it wouldn't fit through doors in some places. Now when I go out I can totally see this happening. Not only that but when I go shoppign with the girls. The aisles are so narrow that I would be hitting the clothes or shoes as I go by if I had a side by side, because I am barely missing them with the stroller I have now.
