Ugg, my first stroller was a Britax, I hate it. The fold is clunky, it doesn't fit through an airport scanner without taking the wheels off. I also don't like the fact that mine didn't have air filled wheels.

i've been looking into double/transition strollers too. i've seriously considered the Uppa Baby Vista and Phil & Teds, but my eye is on the Britax B-Ready these days.

my neighborhood is chock-FULL of double strollers everywhere, and the Baby Jogger City Select is the most common one around here. It doesn't fit my needs though as my toddler is tall and their seats don't have much room to grow for tall kids, but I'd suggest you consider it if that's not a problem for you.

if you are looking for something lightweight though, that will be tough as doubles are rarely lightweight, especially the ones mentioned above. for a side-by-side double, the City Mini double is very popular around here too.

definitely go to a real store and try out these strollers. things look so good online, but there is nothing like going to a store and checking it out yourself. also consider how much you will really use the stroller day to day and what features you will really need and which are important to you.

@looch... i think air-filled wheels are annoying! i have a 2007 bugaboo with air-filled tires and it's so annoying when they deflate. in 2008 or 2009, bugaboo came out with foam-filled ones which get way better reviews.

@elisat thanks for writing about that tip about BuyBuyBaby and their price match program. Interesting that Britax is not on their exclusion list on their coupon. I would've never guessed. If I go w/ this stroller, I'll use your couponing skills

@looch i see what you mean. an all-terrain stroller does make a difference. last year with the amount of snow we got on nyc streets, i coudn't have gone anywhere without ours.

Not really, they are both travel systems. as far as I can tell by the video on the baby gizmo youtube channel, the fold is the same, which leads me to believe it has the same limitations based on the chassis.

Anywho, a great site, if you're not already familiar with it is babygizmo. They do great videos that really showcase the features of the strollers. Highly recommend it!

There's nothing like going to the store and seeing your options for yourself. I have seen the B-ready in person and many moms in my neighborhood/moms group love it as a single and double stroller. It has 14! different seat configurations and 4-wheel suspension for rocky terrain.

it's NOT lightweight, it's a "heavy" stroller as most doubles of its kind are. Stroller shopping comes down to what your needs are, so definitely see for yourself at a real store when you can.

Although I don't have any experience with a double stroller (just a mama to one right now), I have heard great things about the Joovy Caboose. I currently have the Joovy Scooter & love it!
