Re: opinions from girls with 2 or more children
I like side by side (Combi is a good one). The reason is there is less fighting over who gets to sit in the front.

Re: opinions from girls with 2 or more children
I got the Sit N Stand one. I have not taken it to a store, but have gone to the park and around the neighborhood...I really like it and so does Katherine! I'm not sure how old your older one is, but Katherine will be 2 in September, so 22 months now, and she does really well on it.

Re: opinions from girls with 2 or more children
we just got the peg perego twin aria and i love how light it is. we also have an eddy bauer front to back but i wasn't crazy about it. its much heavier and harder to move.

Re: opinions from girls with 2 or more children
I have the sit and stand. I am partial to the front to back ones because its easier to get in and out of stores and such. Although I do like the Peg Twin Aria.

We have the Gracco Duo Glider. While I like how easy it is to manuever, it's kinda bulky. When the baby is out of the infant seat, I'll probably get a Sit N Stand.

Re: opinions from girls with 2 or more children
We are going with a side by side jogger. this is the one we are getting, it fits through doors and you can use it inside and out. I can't tell you how many hours of research and testing went into choosing a double stroller!
I can't wait to use it!

Re: opinions from girls with 2 or more children
how far apart are your kids?
I had both side by side and front to back, and like the sit n stand better than both.
The side by side was difficult to maunver and awkward when shoppping& going thru doors, the front to back seemed so bulky & heavy.
I looooovvve my Joovy!

[my daughter will be 1 year and 5 months when my new baby comes..so im not sure if the sit and stand will work with her..but also im not sure how much ill be going out considering im having a december baby. there are way too many strolllers out there
i have 2 winter babies also-
they are only 11 months apart,
and im telling you, i wasted waayy too much $$$ on different types of double strollers that I wound up hating & using for a very short time!
(my dh wanted to kill me!)
i would suggest that you get a *cheap* front-to-back that you can fit the infant carrier in for the beginning (like you said, you probably will only use it a handful of times bc it will be winter)
(i got the graco duoglide really cheap at Kmart-Its ok,I guess I would say it was the best one out there-but this is coming from a double-stroller hater!)
and then get the Joovy sit n stand-
by the time the nice weather comes, your DD will almost be 2( that was how old my son was when I first used the sit n stand-he looooved it& felt like a big boy sitting on the back!)
and your new baby will be out of the infant carrier&ready to sit in a reg stroller by then! just wanted to tell you what worked for me, and hope my mistake of wasting $$$ could help ya!

I am getting this one if the infant seat attachment comes out by the time they say other wise I am getting the Urban Mountain Buggy Double since they already have the attachment out. I didn't want to waste getting so many strollers and I really wanted a good stroller for walking.

Re: opinions from girls with 2 or more children
We tried the Peg Perego Aria (side by side) within minutes our daughter was poking and pushing ou son. We went with a front to back one.

Re: opinions from girls with 2 or more children
We tried both styles and my conclusion was that we could NEVER use a double stroller ever 
My boys have always been pokey touchey bother little brother.
So I never used either of them. I mean MAYBE 5-10 times tops, if even that.
Even when we rented the double in Disney, now that theyre both toddlers
 and last time we went, they were 14m, and 2 1/2 and we purposely brought 2 single strollers.
So I made sure to never go on any outings that required both to be in a stroller. Big brother walked most places (parks/farms). IF we were on playdates during the day. and when daddy was with us, he usually carried the oldest. It worked out pretty well that way actually. phew! 
But I do hear more raves for the side by side. My sister has had the Peg Perego Aria and loved it.

Re: opinions from girls with 2 or more children
Side by side - front/back they are always kicking each other. It is also easier to feed two at once when they are side by side. I love my front/back too but I prefer my side by sides.
