Double Stroller - Lincoln,CA
I am about to have another baby and I am looking into double strollers. My babies will be 18 months apart. I would like a stroller that I can snap a carrier into. Any advice on the best stroller to get?

I have the Graco Quatro. It is a bit heavy, but accesories are awesome both for when the baby is in the infant seat and for when they start sitting in the stroller by themselves. It has cup and snack holders for both seats, double cup holders for the adults, and a HUGE basket!!! We took it to Disneyland and it was just awesome.
the ONLY thing is that it is a bit heavy, but for the ride quality for the kids....it's great.

Hi B.!
My only experience in this particular area is what I WISHED I had done the first time :O)
I bought a BIG double jogging stroller that folds easily when my kids were 6mos & 6yrs. I wished I had bought it when my older son was younger. It the best investment for me.
It works wonders for Disneyland, Fairs, or anything! I loved it because the kids could sleep comfortably in it, and it could even accomodate my older one at 10yrs old when he was too tired to walk at a theme park.
It doesn't have any carseats that snap into it, but I absolutely loved it and I still consider it the best "mom" purchase I ever made........next to my full-size van :O)

Hi B.,
Depends on your needs, and your kids. Mine are 23 months apart, and the older one isn't too happy to be sitting in a stroller these days, so I got a Joovy Ultralight. It has been perfect for us - baby is secure (and can nap) while my 2yr old can pop on and off as we move through the zoo, etc. The back seat also has a belt if you need to secure the older kid. I also considered the Phil & Ted's tandem, but it was not worth the price for the amount we would have used it. I may have gone that route if we lived in a "walking" neighborhood, if I jogged and if I were a SAHM. :) I hear it's a great stroller... but I am very happy with the Joovy for our needs.
Happy Shopping!

We love our Valco twin... it's a side by side jogger that fits through all doorways and accomodates an infant carrier. http://valcobaby.com/products/strollers.html?tx_productca...

i have a phil&teds and love it. it is tandem (not side by side) and now that the kids are older, i have had no problems with the kids 'fighting' over who gets what seat. we lived overseas for a while & found that the tandem stroller was easier to get through doors, on sidewalks (and not take up the entire sidewalk) and over cobblestone streets and uneven terrain. it has a locking front wheel so you can jog with it if you'd like to.
in general, i'd go with a stroller with NICE wheels, especially with the weight of two kids on a stroller. you'd be amazed how combi and peg perego wheels get stuck with the smallest uneven sidewalks...

My kids are 17 months apart. I just bought a double jogger, and I love it! This one has the kids side by side--similar strollers are made by quite a few companies. Mine is a Dreamer Design--but they just went out of business & sold the last of their stock to Costco--who sold it for a very nice price. Which is how I got mine.
