What is the best type of double stroller?
Baby Strollers
Esther D asked:
I have a 4 yr old and a 1 yr old. Right now I have a double stroller the side by side type but I’ve come to not really like, I find it hard to shop getting in between the isles sometimes. I don’t want a jogging stroller but one for just trips like the mall or zoo that kind of thing.

They make vertical doubles…shop online because they are tricky to find and harder to buy. You may need to buy it from out of the country where they may be more popular.

Try them out at the store, make sure you can fold and unfold it easily with one hand. Also, look for one that is not too heavy, yet is comfy for the kids. I like a cup holder in the back seat ,as well as one on the handle for me.

Have you checked out Phil & Teds? Their sport double stacks two seats with a maximum weight of 88 pounds. (www.philandteds.com) It has three wheels, like a jogger, so it is easy to get around tight spots and comfortable for longer walks.
Thing is, it is also nearly $500.
Plus, your 4 y.o. is probably near the end of riding full-time. So you might want to look at the Joovy Caboose, which features one traditional seat with a space for a second kid to stand or sit behind. (http://www.joovy.com/pages/pd_caboose.php) It runs $180 and is sold at baby superstores. There’s also a lightweight version for a bit more.

We bought a Phil & Teds single pram plus toddler seat. FANTASTIC and versatile. Great for 2 kids of different ages. They’re also really popular…and that’s because they are so good. It is a 3 wheeler, but that makes it really easy to wheel around. I’ve never had a problem with tipping.

I have a JOOVY tandem sit n stand… It’s wonderful.. !! The bar is a bit taller so my husband can push it without slouching ! It folds nearly flat and is not quite as heavy as the Graco nor does it take up nearly as much room.. We don’t have a minivan or SUV so it fits nicely in the trunk of your full sized sedan… It’s easy to fold and unfold.. The only drawback(s) is that it doesn’t have a parent tray/cup holders and the underbasket is on the small size ! Other than that the price wasn’t bad and it’s been a good stroller… ONE STEP AHEAD makes one as well you can go on their website and check them out !

i have the envenflo tandum take me too stroller. and my kids like it. the 1 yr old sits up front because the seat is a little small and my 3 yr old rides in the back where he can get in out easy with the side step. sometimes it still seems a little big compared to the more expensive ones but it works for us. it also has a bar that can be flipped up on the back seat to fit most major brands of infant carriers and lost of storage in the basket.
but if cost isnt a problem i like this one (havent used it but would love to have it)
