There is a minimum width that commercial buildings have to have for doors, so we just made sure any double stroller we bought was narrow enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-or-side-by-side-double-stroller#post-1261934 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:58:45 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1261934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: we have a Britax b agile double for our twins and LOVE it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-or-side-by-side-double-stroller#post-1261930 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:58:32 +0000 bunnylove08 1261930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tandum for us. We liked that you could have the kids face each other. The side by side would be hard to get into stores with. We would have loved a side by side but one of us would have to wait outside while the other ran into the store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-or-side-by-side-double-stroller#post-1261917 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:56:39 +0000 autumnlove 1261917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Side by side!

Will probably go with a side by side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-or-side-by-side-double-stroller#post-1261859 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:48:15 +0000 lilyann 1261859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SAHM0811: Mind sharing more info about your MB duet? Does it fold easily? Fairly heavy? I am guessing you would recommend it :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-or-side-by-side-double-stroller#post-1261858 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:48:15 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1261858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>side by sides tend to fold up easier which is essential for city living. definitely prefer a side by side! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-or-side-by-side-double-stroller#post-1261838 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:46:32 +0000 septca 1261838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I had twins, I would absolutely go for a side-by-side. But for two kids close in age, I much prefer a tandem. I have very little room for stroller storage, so it made more sense for us to get a stroller that coverted to a tandem double so that we could use it as a single for LO#1 and then easily covert it to a double when LO#2 makes an appearance. That way I didn't have to buy two strollers. FWIW, we have the Britax B-Ready and I LOVE it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-or-side-by-side-double-stroller#post-1261808 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:41:06 +0000 SAHM0811 1261808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had both. Tandem can get uncomfortable to turn (depends on seating options and weight distribution though). So when we had a tandem in a walking city where we walked everywhere, it didn't work out so well for us in the end (as far as longevity). Perhaps it would have if we had some of the newer and bigger tandems though. </p> <p>We currently have a MB Duet, side-by-side, and love it.... Very narrow for a side-by-side. If we had more space, I'd get a Bob double (side-by-side). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-or-side-by-side-double-stroller#post-1261744 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:30:23 +0000 HabesBabe 1261744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a tandem because the side-by-sides we "test drove" just felt really wide and cumbersome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tandem-or-side-by-side-double-stroller#post-1261740 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:30:04 +0000 prettylizy 1261740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went tandem.
