We have the Graco DuoGlide. I like it but it's a lot more money than that one. One thing I found when we were looking was to make sure the older child had enough leg room. My older is tall so his feet were hanging off and onto the wheels on the Jeep on we tried. Also try putting them in it and pushing them around. I tried one and I couldn't turn it at all once they were in it even though it looked fine. Check my review in the other section for more on the one I have: realworkingmom.proboards106.com/index.cgi?board=baby&action=display&thread=1145560265 |

We have the Urban Double Mountain Buggy - we bought it because I've seen a lot of moms in my neighborhood pushing it around. It IS good for going over rougher terrain (check out the wheels on it) - and living in Toronto where there can be lots of snow, that's a plus. HOWEVER, this beast weighs a TON - lifting it in and out of the car is NOT easy!! I tend to leave it in my side yard, covered with a tarp, and just use it when walking somewhere from my house. www.mountainbuggy.sycamorekids.com/urban_double.htmlIt DOES fit through doorways and it steers REALLY well, and has great storage. However, you'd never travel with it - like to the airport or anything...you'd throw out the poor baggage handlers back! :-) SB |

I didn't get one. We went to the zoo Saturday and I let my 2 yr old roam free. Thank God I had some good friends with me to help keep control of him.
On a side note I went and checked out the stroller at Target a little closer and I don't think I like the handles on that one. I really like the graco duo glider but it's soooo big.

The Graco is big but I don't know what I'd do with out it. We went to Sesame Place over the weekend and it was great to have the space.

I have the Graco and I'm actually going to sell it on Craig's list soon. I just don't love it... it's too big and too heavy, and it won't fit through security at the airport, so I can't use it to travel alone with two kids. So I bought the Jeep side by side. We used it in the airport on our last trip and it fit great, folded up well, it is comfortable to push. I originally got the front and back because everyone told me the side by side would be too wide for stores. Well, I rarely go in stores with both kids in a stroller, and we use it to go to parks, walks, etc, and it works well for that.

We opted against getting a double stroller. We invested the money into a very nice wagon instead. It's got comfy seats, seatbelts, drink holders, and a storage compartment. I figured the double stroller would really only be an issue for us this summer. As it turns out, I've put the baby in the Baby Bjorn (she doesn't like the stroller anyway) and let my 3-year-old ride in the stroller (or walk). Next year they'll both be able to ride in the wagon. I think One Step Ahead makes wagons with canopies and cup holders for mom and dad now too.

We were thinking about a wagon too. My brother actually made a pit wagon type wagon with flames and all for ds but it's so darn big, we've yet to use it. Thought was great but execution, not so much.
