I have a Graco duoglider and I really like it. I insisted on getting one that my carseat could lock into.
i really like the graco duo glider too. albeebaby.com usually does free shipping and cheaper than other places.
I don't have this stroller, but I want it when the time comes to need a double... its called the Contours Tandem, by Kolcraft. The thing I LOVE about it is all the options... your children can face each other, both can face you, both can face forward, or they can face opposite directions. I've test driven the stroller and the seats change position very easily. The seats fully recline, which seems to be a rare thing these days, and there is one infant car seat attachment which is suppose to fit most brands. I'm starting to sound like a commercial, but I really love this stroller... check it out at http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2646209.
I looked at the contour one that claire is talking about and was way excited about it but we looked at it yesterday and it totally sucks. It doesn't fold up hardly at all. It's heavy and you have to remove the back seat of it to fold it up. I love the options of seat positions to but I don't think it is worth it. You would have to have a huge trunk and be willing to take a lot of time getting it out and putting it away. I like the graco glider ones but I think the one we are going to get is Joovy Caboose Stand-On Tandem Stroller - Black/Grey. It has a little seat behind the actual seat with a buckle. We tested it out and Cedric loved it. I have seen a lot of people with them and they are awesome for your kids getting older because if they are restless they can just stand. I have even seen really big kids standing on them. I wish I had it though so I could swear by it but thats the one we have decided we are going to get so hopefully it is as cool as it seems.
We have a duo glider (haven't used it yet) but I love it because it was a free hand me down!
Sit and Stand is an amazing stroller!
Well now I'm sad Susan!!! But its good to know that it doesn't fold down well. I have a huge trunk, but I don't want my stroller to be the only thing I can take!!
We have the Maclaren Twin Techno double stroller...it's by far the best...lightweight, folds up like an umbrella stroller, maneuvers every corner easily and fits through EVERY doorway...It also comes with nice accessories like a complete rain cover to keep the kids dry...check it out!
the cousin I got my free stroller from has one of those where the toddler can stand in the back or sit on a bench. Not sure of the brand or model. They love it but they have a full size SUV and it STILL takes up the entire trunk! The Graco took up a big chunk of my Accord's trunk but we were still able to get all our luggage in around it.
We just bought the Schwinn Free Wheeler 2008 Sport Double Stroller, and I love it! I insisted that we had to have a jogging stroller so I can continue running with the girls. Some of the great things are: the front wheel locks for running and unlocks for walking, it fits through doorways, the canopy actually covers my girls, it has a weather shield that completely covers the girls, it folds relatively small for a double stroller - I can fit it in my G6 trunk, and both of my girls love it. We use it almost everyday!
I own the Kolcraft Cobtours Tandem stroller and it is awesome for certain times and places. I use it for all my walks from home for exercise or to go to the park or church or whatever. Its really easy to set up and down and to me, its not a big deal to take the seat on or off. It is a beast to lift in or out of my CR-V so I only take it when I'm going somewhere where I know I'll be walking a ton or want great maneuverability. It turns on a dime, had huge sun shades, and comes with a baby seat adapter. I now have a 2-yr-old and 1-month-old twins, so I can put one baby in the car seat in one seat of the stroller, my son up front, with the other baby in a snugli over my shoulders. For anyone with twins, the Baby Trend Double Snap N Go is a must have. I take that with me everywhere and snap both babies' car seats in to go in to the doctor or the bank or anywhere!
I am a huge Maclaren fan, but if I wasn't in the city I would look into:
Safety First tandum
Joovy
Phil and Ted
I LOVE the Phil and Ted strollers... they are just super pricey. So nice though...
I decided not to get a double stroller. My kids are 4 months and 1 1/2. The older one rides in the stroller and I carry the other in the baby backpack. I know that won't last much longer. I bought two Maxi Cosi "umbrella" strollers. That way if Jason is taking one child somewhere, I can take the other somewhere else. I bought stroller clips (from One Step Ahead, I think) that attach the strollers together "at the hip" basically. So, when I go on walks or to the zoo I can snap the strollers together. The only downside to having them side by side is that they won't fit through regular doorways. Another reason I decided to get two strollers was because not one of the double strollers I found would fit in the back of my saturn.
