Thanks! That's one of the ones I have been looking at online. I haven't gone into any stores to really look at them yet but have viewed some online. Is it easy to maneuver thru doors being a side by side?

Do you want to actually jog with it? If so the bumbleride indie and the city mini aren't for jogging - you should look at the BoB Dualie.

I have the Baby Jogger City Select. You can jog with it. It is a MAJOR arm workout though!!! I haven't jogged very far yet but it works. I would assume any jogger will be quite a workout.

I jog/run with my indie twin all the time. it is great. Also, there has only been 1 interior door that I haven't been able to navigate. I do also have a double umbrella that I use in a pinch. The bumble ride is HUGE, but amazing!!!!! I don't regret buying it at all. We bought ours on ebay. It was a floor model and we saves $300 on it

Re: Which double jogging stroller do you recommend?
Thanks everyone!
Lauren- no, I don't want to jog at all lol, but I know DH will. He's mentioned it a few times now but I wasn't sure if they have an "everyday" stroller that's a jogger too or if we would need a diff stroller for that... In which case I would think we would try to get a used one in good condition & buy it rather than register for a second one... Some of them are $$$

Which double jogging stroller do you recommend?
I love my bumble ride indi twin, but never use it for regular quick trips out. It is way too heavy to lug around. I only use it for big trips like to the zoo or when we are walking the neighborhood. Most of the time it is in my garage. For local trips I can not say enough good things about my combi. I went to buy buy baby to buy a twin umbrella stroller and after some time talking to the sale guy he totally sold me on the combi. It is super light weight, it is a 3 second open and close. The seats recline and the sun shade is better than on an umbrella. Weight wise I think it is a little lighter than a twin umbrella and it has cup holders for snacks.
With the bumble ride, you have to make sure the seats are in the right position, make sure the feet are in the right position. The latches to collapse the stroller are in an awkward location. It is super heavy and the wheels are bulky. It also takes up a ton of room in my truck.
My combi is a fraction of the weight, it folds in half and then has a big strap so you can carry it or you can tip it back like a golf bag and roll it. It ROCKS. I wouldn't give up my indie twin because it is built to last and is gorgeous. It handles much better. You can push it around with one finger. However, it stinks for quick trips to the store.
I got my bumble ride on ebay I got the 2010 model because it came with all the accessories that now you have to but separately. I saved about $250 buying it off ebay. You can also check craigslist.
I used 20% coupon for my combi.

I'm selling my Maclaren Twin Techno if you're interested. But you can use the jogger as an every day stroller. I use the BoB for both. If you're in the mall or something though with a double jogger you'll have some issues in tight aisles and possibly getting through doorways because the wheels stick out.

Re: Which double jogging stroller do you recommend?
Thanks Lauren! Yours is a side by side, right? We are going to go look at strollers and hopefully talk to someone. I keep feeling like I prefer a front/back, but where you can face them any way so they can face each other or both forward, or both towards me, etc... We have a front and back stoop to get into our house so I am not even sure how we will maneuver this lol... We still have some planning to do  will check w DH and my parents an his as well and see if anyone is interested

Re: Which double jogging stroller do you recommend?
Yes, it is a side by side. I wasn't a fan of the tandem strollers, I felt like I was pushing a train! Now there are a few more options though, like the phil and teds that has stadium seating.
Honestly - you should just get the snap and go for now and get a different stroller once they are here and a little older.
