I didn't have the GT just the regular city mini double. The GT is more expensive, from what I understand it has bigger/rubber wheels and an adjustable handlebar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-durable-double-stroller-buying-one-used#post-2295945 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 16:01:05 +0000 chopsuey 2295945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.kiwi: I used mine for ~1.5 years and sold it was $300. It was in excellent condition.<br /> I'm not sure if the GT is more durable, but it has more features than the regular. I loved that the handle bar could be adjusted easily, it was soooo easy to fold, I liked the location of the brake (by the handle) and there wasn't anything about the stroller that I didn't like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-durable-double-stroller-buying-one-used#post-2295647 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 08:31:16 +0000 twodoghouse 2295647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.kiwi: I'm 5'2" without much upper body strength (although the heavier my twins get, the stronger I get, ha!) and do ok with the Indie Twin. It is heavy, but more than that it's just a cumbersome size/shape for a small person. I have a large suv so I have to lift it pretty high up. It took a couple tries to get a good strategy for lifting it up so that when I got it in it wasn't sticking up into my rearview mirror while driving. It just does not fold very compact, but I think that's a problem with a lot of large doubles. My sister has twins too and has another double (I'll text her to find out the name). It folds more compact because it has less fabric and less sturdy sides, etc. but it can't fit through her doors! So if her kids fall asleep on a walk she has to sit in her driveway while they nap. So I guess it's just a trade off of what you want/need - a smaller footprint that can get you in and out of standard doors or is your priority something that's light to lift and easy to fold, etc.</p> <p>Eta: my sister's is the baby trend double expedition, but it looks like that might be discontinued! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-durable-double-stroller-buying-one-used#post-2295531 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 03:13:51 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2295531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: @twodoghouse: do you think the bumbleride is ok if I want to take it in and out of the trunk of a sedan often? Both for size and weight/bulk to carry? I'm pretty petite and... Not that strong lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-durable-double-stroller-buying-one-used#post-2295530 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 03:10:46 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2295530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: @Veggiemama: do you mind sharing what a good price is for a used city mini gt?</p> <p>Btw is gt more "durable" than the normal city mini? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-durable-double-stroller-buying-one-used#post-2294382 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 03:12:37 +0000 Kemma 2294382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mountain Buggy prams are pretty damn difficult to kill so I'd recommend one of those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-durable-double-stroller-buying-one-used#post-2294375 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 02:07:50 +0000 Ree723 2294375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my City Mini Gt double - I've been using it for more than a year, almost every day in all kinds of weather and it still looks brand new. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-durable-double-stroller-buying-one-used#post-2294351 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 23:23:32 +0000 mrskc 2294351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We purchased a used Mountain Buggy and it was pretty used when we got it (like 5-6 years old).

We are the third owner on ours, it's 5 years old, and still awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-durable-double-stroller-buying-one-used#post-2294246 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 21:07:47 +0000 coopsmama 2294246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Mountain Buggy Duet and it's been going strong for over a year.

It's sturdy (and heavy) but very easy to push. It maneuvers really easily for a side by side! I've only had it for 1.5 years so I can't really tell you how well it holds up over time, but we're happy so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-durable-double-stroller-buying-one-used#post-2294043 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 18:15:17 +0000 Truth Bombs 2294043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going with a city mini GT. more rugged than the original city mini, but less bulky than the BOB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-durable-double-stroller-buying-one-used#post-2294028 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 18:00:10 +0000 chopsuey 2294028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved my city mini GT double. :) my kids are 20 months apart and we got great use out of it.<br /> I sold it on Craigslist last year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-durable-double-stroller-buying-one-used#post-2294024 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 17:55:14 +0000 Veggiemama 2294024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just sold my city mini side-by-side double locally. I used it almost daily for 3 years and after I scrubbed down the wheels/frame and washed the fabric it looked great! Some minor wear on the seats and from where it folds but otherwise it was in excellent condition. So I think they hold up pretty well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-durable-double-stroller-buying-one-used#post-2294022 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 17:54:16 +0000 shellio 2294022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know how committed you are to a side-by-side... we have a City Select that we love, it is so versatile and has been very durable. We've used it almost daily for close to 4 years now. It is nice to be able to easily remove part of the bulk of the stroller when you only have one child with you. And it folds easily for transport. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-durable-double-stroller-buying-one-used#post-2294021 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 17:52:45 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2294021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Btw they will be 22 mo apart and we are hoping to have more kids (maybe total 4?) so we would like it to last!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-durable-double-stroller-buying-one-used#post-2294018 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 17:50:13 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2294018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need wisdom from the bees!!</p> <p>We are expecting #2 and would like to purchase a side-by-side double stroller preferably used on Craigslist.</p> <p>When I was pregnant with my first son i purchased a used bugaboo frog for $100 even though it was 5+ years old just bc I thought it would hold up well. And it has.</p> <p>Which side by side strollers are known to be made well and last many years? I am looking into city mini but not sure how long it would last if I purchase used... Is a bob better?
