Recommend you good but inexpensive umbrella stroller please!

I am going to be finally venturing out alone with the twins shortly. I am going to have to put DS in the stroller and hold DD in my arms. My double stroller wont fit thru the door at the ped.

I have the Maclaren Techno. They are super pricey but I bought mine on craigslist for a great deal and it was super clean. I see Maclarens on there all the time, it could be worth checking out. I really did my research when it came to getting an umbrella stroller and really liked the Maclaren because it came up high, I saw a lot of moms bending over pushing their stroller and didn't want to do that. The techno also reclines fully which is a big help when he falls asleep or is sleeping in the car and I transfer him.

what about a double maclaren ? I think they fit thru a regular door.

I love my single maclaren. Considering the double as my next stroller.


but honestly, in your situation I would just get a cheapo $20 single stroller they sell at BRU for those occasional times you need to put just 1 in a stroller. Because I would imagine most times you will have both. JMO

Do they make back/front (not side by side) umbrella strollers? Whatever the cost, I would go with that option because having both babies in the stroller would make things easier for you. When you are juggling doors, diaper bags, etc. you will want your arms free. But if not, we have the Maclaren Volo and even though I like it, the way they designed it when it folds up is annoying because the wheels touch the umbrella part and obviously gets it filthy!

ETA: I found this... and a website with different styles.
