Following. I have a tiny almost 3 yo and a 3 month old

Not one of your top 2, but we bought the City Select when my son was born. My daughter is 16 months older. It was great for putting the car seat in but when the car seat was up top I couldn’t see my daughter. Then when they got bigger, my daughter wanted to ride on top and it got a bit top heavy. It’s great for navigating small spaces like stores and I can fit the whole thing in my Corolla, but I was less pleased in general with the front-to-back configuration then I hoped to be.

I have the MB duet and I like it. My kids are 18mo apart and at 2.5 and 1 they still love riding in the stroller. It's not as bulky as some doubles and I don't have a problem with putting it in/ taking it out of the car. I like the side by side because I think it's easier to push and manuver, you don't have to take out the seats to fold it, and the kids can interact.

A stroller that I have been eyeing for travel is the Zoe double. It's super super light with a big basket underneath. This could be a good option is light is a priority.

@erinbaderin: Good to hear you like your Vista!

@Gin: I would have probably gotten the Duet if I didn't intend to use it for actual jogging. I also just like the look of the Thule so I wanted that in case my kids prefer side by side instead of tandem. I've heard the same complaints about the Vista. I in no way wanted it as a single stroller. (Hindsight is 20/20 and I should have gotten it because I'm getting it now anyways.) I hope I like it! I'm all in with all of the accessories. Interesting you didn't like the Keenz. I think it looks awseome but I'm not sure where I would use it at. I want the Veer wagon, but can't justify that purchase with the two strollers I"m getting. I like the nano you mentioned. Is it more like an umbrella stroller? I would love an umbrella stroller, but not sure where I would use one now that I have two kids who will need the stroller.

I am expecting twins and purchased a MB Duet. I also got carrycots and infant seat attachments. I don't know if you can fold the stroller with the infant seat attachments because I haven't tried yet, but I suspect it folds but the result is bulky. However I also think it is easy to remove them. We are going construction and I can't easily pull the stroller out for another week or so, but I can check for you then. Lmk if that would be helpful.

We live someplace urban and use the stroller a lot around our neighborhood. I have a preference for a SbS rather than a tandem, and this is the narrowest option and most likely to fit through doorways, etc. It is also one of the few double SbS strollers which can accommodate two infant seats. We park our car about five blocks away so that is critical for us.

The main downside is risk that the girls will outgrow it by 2.5 or 3. We may need something bigger at that point. But I was willing to take that tradeoff due to the other conveniences during the first few years of twin insanity.

I have an older UB vista and my kids were almost 2.5 years apart. It was fine as a double, though the baby had to be in the top seat for the first 6 months- having the bigger kid in the front/ bottom made for a really front heavy pushing and it was very hard to turn. We lived in the city and I walked everywhere with that thing though. It was much easier once I could put the baby in the lower seat facing her big sister in the top seat. But it’s hardly a stroller I would get with the intention of putting it in the car all the time. We almost never folded t and just left it open in the garage. And I think
On hills any tandem stroller is going to start feeling really heavy. I know there were some big improvements to the new one so maybe it’s better.
