Double Stroller Compatible with Chico Infant Carriers??
Hi fellow moms. We are expecting baby #2 in September and I have started looking into double strollers, but just found out that Chico doesn't have a double stroller that would work with the infant carrier we already have. We tried fitting the carrier onto another model of double stroller, but the only brand the store had (Graco) didn't work. Has anyone out there found a double stroller that will work with Chico? My son will be 20 months when the baby arrives.
Thanks!

I also have this problem. Try Buy Buy Baby, they have a few more options that are compatible with the Chicco carrier. I emailed Chicco directly and this was the response I received from them
We will be introducing a tandem double stroller that will accept 2 of our car seats. This should be introduced approximately December 2009. We suggest that you check our website at www.chiccousa.com for updates on these products.
The Contours Options Tandem made by Kolcraft will accept one of the Chicco infant car seats. We also suggest the Joovy Standon Caboose or the Joovy Big Caboose. Our car seats can be buckled into these strollers.
Hope this helps.

We had been dealing with the exact same problem nearly 2 years ago. We ended up using the Sit and Stand (deluxe, I think). It worked well for us but in all honesty, I ended up using my Chicco single stroller more because my oldest daughter decided she didn't want to be in a stroller anymore. (My girls are 12 months apart.) I think Babies R Us has a Sit and Stand in stock that you could try. Good luck and congratulations on baby #2!

Well it looks like we have a LOT in common (including the stubborn husband ;)). I have an 18 month old son and I am due with my second in October. I have been doing a TON of research (I also have the Chicco carrier) and finally found the stroller I plan on purchasing. It is the Sit N Stand Elite Double stroller found in the One Step Ahead catalog (although you can get it online, too). It is item #13129 and is 189.95. It can be front to back with the carrier, with both as seats, or the back can be a sit and stand. The only thing I read that I didn't like was that it didn't have a cup holder, but you can always get one seperately if necessary.
I hope that helps! I have been searching like a crazy person for 5 weeks now and doing lots of research. Yuck. I hope it works out as well as I'm hoping.

I LOVE my One Step Ahead sit and stand stroller. Alot of other companies make that type of stroller you might want to check that out. Our kids are now 2 and 4 and we still use it!

I have een looking into double strollers as well since I have a 2 1/2 year old and am due in August. I found the Baby Trend Sit and Stand. It says it works with most strollers. Walmart, Targer and Babies R Us all carry it. Here is a link to one of the ones Walmart has just so you can check it out.
