I am looking to purchase a double stroller and need help. I want something that has all the bells and whistles: Cup holder and tray for kids and mom, easy to get around in, able to attach an infant seat, light weight, collapses small so it could fit in my honda accord. Will take any advice

I love my Combi Twin. It folds compactly and easily, is one of the lightest double strollers made (so easy to carry and push), has fully reclining seats for both kids, can be steered with one hand, has 2 separate baskets on the bottom and attachments for the top, cup and snack holder bars for the kids, etc. Our nanny has an accord and it fits very easily in her car. It doesn't hold an infant seat, though we "balanced" our Graco SnugRide seat on it for the rare occasion that we needed to for quick transport.

There are not many double strollers that will collapse small enought to fit in your trunk. You might want to try Evenflo Take me Too, but the Deluxe model, not the regular model. You might want to measure your trunk space & then go to Babies R US or Target, and see how see how small the strollers fold.

I really like my Graco Duoglider. It is super easy to push and has the trays for the kids and can snap the infant seat onto it too. It also has a nice big basket under! The only thing is I feel it is a little heavy, but I don't know how heavy it is compared to other brands.
Good luck!

There is a device that is a double bike trailer and can detach from your bike and become a double jog stroller that has a yellow cover for the rain. I don't remember the brand but it is available at bike stores.

We have a Graco Duoglide stroller - bought it in July 2005 for (at the time) my 15 month old and new born. I have loved it but have never been able to fold it up - I figured it out but found it too cumbersome. SO, we just have the back seat out of our minivan and i just lift it up into the van. It glides really nicely, turns nicely and has all the bells and whistles. I like the fact that you can just lift the carseat in and out of it. And, now that they are 18 months and almost 3, I make sure to put my older one in the back and son in the front - my son will pull my daughters hair if he sits in the back. - another reason i would get one that isn't side by side is that the little ones are a little more separated. and it's sooo much easier getting in and out of doorways while shopping with the front and back kind. I hold open the door with one hand and glide right through the door. So, I recommend this type, just look for one that has better reviews on folding up. I actually did see on target.com that this one wasnt eay to fold before i bought it but some of the others had issues with difficulty in turning and wheels falling off. Ive been very happy with ours!

Hi,
I have the Graco Duo Glider, and I love it!! It has all that you are looking for! And it is reasonably priced. You can get it for cheap at Sears. Hope this helps!

I just ordered this stroller, it does not accept baby seats, but the seats recline far enough back to lay a infant in there. It is sort of heavy, but both seats recline which is super hard to find. It is on sale right now b/c it is 2006 model. Check out the reviews on amazon.com, they were great!

I use the duoglider. My 70 something year old grandmother was able to push my twins with ease....
The duoglider also comes with an infant carrier.

I just ordered a Chicco C5 Twin Stroller...not sure if you are looking for side-by-side or tandem. I have heard MaClaren are REALLY nice too. Good luck!
