It's easy to fold and unfold, but it is a bit bulky when folded. However, it fits in the back of my husband's sedan no problem.</p> <p>Couldn't recommend it enough!</p> <p>It only works with Peg Pergero and Graco infant car seats though (with an adapter) so keep that in mind if you want it to hold your infant seat. We bought the adapter and used our graco snugride. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813790 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 11:26:18 +0000 Boogs 1813790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: I got the Mountain Buggy Duet for a great deal off of CL and I've done a test with two older kids and really liked it! In fact, I found it easier to push around than my single Maclaren umbrella! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813751 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 11:13:24 +0000 anonysquire 1813751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I know! Now that I'm thinking about it I meant to say I can open it while holding a baby. Which isn't impressive! Since we use the bassinet I take that off with her still in it and then close it. I don't know. I just like it haha.</p> <p>And she seems to like it :) </p> [attach=1857/14/na96ed.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813750 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 11:12:58 +0000 Trailmix 1813750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: supposedly there is a way to fold it up while keeping the seats on but I haven't been able to do that so I always have to remove the seats. I really don't know how one could fold it up while holding anything, you need a hand on each side to pull of the releasing mechanism. Ours always gets stuck, which is why it is a pain to fold up, along with removing the seats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813744 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 11:11:45 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1813744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still searching for the perfect double stroller, but I would not recommend a jogging stroller for your everyday one. We have a double jogger and it's is wicked heavy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813706 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 10:57:23 +0000 Alivoo01 1813706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I have the Select; and that's impressive you can fold it up with a baby in your arms since it requires both side "handles" to be pulled up to fold!! </p> <p>@Trailmix: We only have 1 LO right now, but purposely selected the City Select as our stroller since we wanted more kids and didn't want to buy another stoller later on. Boo on it being difficult to fold up with two seats. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813654 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 10:32:34 +0000 emg86 1813654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in the burbs and baby #2 will arrive next month and my older little one will be 16mos. We have a City Mini for her and while I like how it handles, I HATE the basket and it's my biggest reason for not liking the double mini GT. I also went to test a few strollers and found that maneuvering a side by side double was way more difficult for me than a double decker like the City Select. I drive a sedan and wanted something easy to fold up and not terribly heavy, the Select worked really well in my trunk and it didn't seem like it was going to be a hassle to deal with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813612 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 10:18:45 +0000 Cole 1813612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Well, it's at just got to know it can be done! I will just have to spend some time playing with it and getting used to it, we are in a similar spot as you where it will live inside so I am not too worried. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813588 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 10:12:00 +0000 sorrycharlie 1813588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just scored a used city mini double for $100 on a yard sale group! I mean, it was pretty used condition but I washed it and bent the awning back and it's good to go :P </p> <p>I have a single city mini and loooooove it. like, cannot say enough good things about it. the double is very easy to maneuver, fits through standard doorways, both kids can recline separately AND flat (!), and each canopy is individual and is one of my fav features (how far down it can cover). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813553 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 10:01:23 +0000 anonysquire 1813553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: ya mine only goes into my car for shopping trips. And then back inside so it's easy access for walks or just hanging in the backyard. I don't know my trick haha. But I'm able to manhandle it alone with my baby in arms. I can't say enough good things about it. We're still using only the bassinet option and sometimes the normal chair but can't wait to try out the 2 seats next month on vacation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813532 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 09:52:37 +0000 Cole 1813532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I think we are going to get the city select but if you have a trick for folding I would love to know! I have a fit with it and I would have ruled it out for that reason but we won't need to put it on the car super often and it can live in our mud room open. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813476 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 09:36:09 +0000 regberadaisy 1813476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: Someone on my local CL is selling a GUC for $100! Waiting to hear back if it's still available. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813475 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 09:35:53 +0000 cheert16 1813475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Trailmix: nope- we have the city mini for our single- so cant add anything to that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813474 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 09:35:52 +0000 Anagram 1813474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: If you hae to get it in and out of the trunk of your car, I would get something SMALL and light weight. Like the McLaren double umbrella (does that one recline? Can't remember). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813472 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 09:35:19 +0000 Trailmix 1813472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually find thE City Select to be very difficult to fold, particularly with two seats on it, and I usually recommend it with the caveat that it's better if you use it for city living and not for the suburbs where you're in and out of the car a lot.<br /> I know the Bumbleride Indie double is supposed to be great, as is the City Mini double. Can you add a second seat to your current stroller? I'd probably go that route if possible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813469 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 09:34:49 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1813469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the UBV with the rumble seat. It works OK for two but who ever is in the rumble seat and falls asleep had to sleep sitting up.<br /> We just got the mountain buggy duet used and I'm obsessed with it. I'm thinking about seeking the UBV and buying a new duet when #2 arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813458 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 09:32:45 +0000 cheert16 1813458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I looked at that one the other day at Target, I liked it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813450 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 09:29:32 +0000 regberadaisy 1813450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still on the fence. If we do it'll mainly for day / family outings. I'm not willing to spend $200 plus on it so I'm looking used and leaning towards the Graco Ready2Grow. A friend has it and I really like the seating options available; the main one being the toddler in the front! And the price is right. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813370 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 09:03:41 +0000 Charm54 1813370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure if we will get a true double or just try and use the rumble seat on our UBV, but if we do get a double I've got my eye on the City Mini double! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813367 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 09:02:22 +0000 anonysquire 1813367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always say it but I LOVE my city select. It's easy to fold up with a baby on your arms. Smooth ride, looks nice. All in all a great stroller in my opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813366 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 09:02:14 +0000 mkp17 1813366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got the City Mini GT double and have used it a couple of times for a newborn and 16 month old. So far so good. LO #2 seems comfy in it laying flat (didn't spend the money on the car seat adapter). LO #1 didn't fuss going into it at all and was comfy the whole time also. Can't use it as a jogger, but did great on walks around the neighborhood and seems like it is going to hold up very well to regular walks, etc. Pushes super easy, is light (or as light as a double can get) and folds up with the pull of a handle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/double-strollers-3#post-1813335 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:54:22 +0000 cheert16 1813335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are looking at double strollers- and I feel like its a way more daunting task than when we chose our single stroller! Looking for some recommendations....</p> <p>Background on us- LO #2 is due in Dec- LO#1 will be 20 months. We live in the suburbs- so it will be in the car a lot. Maybe something that can double as a jogger- but doesn't HAVE too- we can borrow a jogger if needed! </p>
