And how do you like it? 
We will have a one year old and a newborn in July and I'm brainstorming our best option. My son hated to be worn so I'm not exactly a pro at that and would like to have a good double. We have a single Baby Jogger City Elite so I'm partial to Baby Jogger but am willing to explore other options!

I don't have one but my neighbor has a Phil and Teds Sport that I really like. Its a pretty nifty stroller and pretty small and light, for a double.
-
We have the Baby jogger city mini gt double. I love it outdoors- it handles really well, easy to go up/ down sidewalks etc. ( and that's mostly what i need it for) but I don't like it so much for indoor use like in shops with tight aisles.
-
@Baby Boy Mom: same answer!
-
@loveisstrange: That looks awesome! I've actually never heard of Phil and Teds before but I'm definitely not well versed in strollers! Light is a major plus. And husband might actually go for that one! He thinks any stroller with two wheels in the front looks "stupid." Gahhhhhh
@Baby Boy Mom: that's the one I want! But again, DH is convinced it looks silly with two wheels in the front...drives me crazy! I mostly use our stroller for outdoor purposes, too.
-
City mini gt double. Loooooove it
-
@coopsmama: haha...you should show him pictures of other doubles...a lot of them have (gasp) 4 wheels in the front! Except for P&T and similars, most will have 2 wheels in the front.
-
@Baby Boy Mom: I have and unfortunately the only one he thinks he wants is a BOB. I'm sure BOBs are great but 1) we don't jog with our kids and 2) they are so bulky! I'm not sure why he thinks they are our best option bedsides how they look.
-
I'm leaning towards a Mountain Buggy. Either the +One or the Duet.
-
Britax B Agile Double. Love it! We have a double umbrella stroller, but haven't even really used it since getting the Britax.
-
@coopsmama: hmm...that's tough cuz everyone I know that has a BOB loves it...some advantages of the city mini are: better canopy, can be used with newborn (we used a snuzzler) and tires that don't need to be pumped. Not sure if any of those would convince you DH..,
-
We have the bob revolution dualie and the combi twin sport. Love them both. I don't take the bob indoors (other than our house), but it's a great outdoor stroller. We've actually never had to pump the tires other than the initial assembly, and the canopies are huge with windows to look down at lo's, so I have no complaints there. The price was cringeworthy, but I know I'll get a good chunk of money backwhen I sell it later. Combi is my shopping stroller. It's not fancy but it folds up tight and fits through a standard door when open. And it was under $200
-
We have the BOB dualie and love it. I have a 17 month old and a 4 month old and we've been using it with the infant carseat adapter since DD was born. We were able to buy it at a huge discount at the REI members only sale. It's my only double stroller and I use it for everything!
-
we have an uppa baby g luxe
-
@coopsmama: BOBs are awesome! I love ours, but the double is huge. Which is why we're looking at Mountain Buggy - all terrain that fits through a standard doorway. I may have to donate organs to pay for it, though. Oy!
-
@Weagle: We are looking at the duet as well! Haven't pulled the trigger yet though.
-
I had an Uppa Baby Vista (with rumble seat) that I sold when we moved cross-country. It was great for the time we used it, but our needs changed with the move. Then we got a Mountain Buggy Duet and it served us well too, but I'll probably sell it soon because I want to do more running with the LOs, rather than just light jogging. My dream double is the Bob Duallie and I think we are getting one after #3 is old enough to go running with me.
-
We just bought the City select with 2nd seat...since in a week I will have a DD1 whose 22 months and a newborn son. It is the only stroller that fits in store aisles and allows DD to see everything without an obstructed view
-
We have the Contours.
-
@Weagle: We have the Duet and I am OBSESSED!
We have the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest side-by-side on the market. I couldn't say enough good things about it! The seats can be taken off and you can replace one with a bassinet, a car seat, or even a "storage bag" that you can buy, so it acts as a single with extra storage on one side (which I will totally use! It's slim enough that I wouldn't mind pushing it as a single when the time comes).
-
@lilyann: It truly is awesome.
I was nervous since I didn't get to see one in person before we bought it, but I am glad we went for it.
-
We have a BOB duallie (with the adapter) and a Britax B-ready. I sold our City Mini GT since we didn't use it often enough and it wasn't smooth. The BOB is great, easy to handle, glides without any effort but it is big. The B-ready is okay but I'm just not crazy about it yet. It's not that easy to snap the attachment on and it's not as smooth as the BOB (I don't think anything compares to how smooth the BOB is though). I do like that the b-ready is narrow for stores though.
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: Did you get the 2013 model? Your review on IG really convinced me! I just need to go ahead and get it
-
@Weagle: Adding that to my list to research, thanks!
@sunshineandsushi: Maybe I'm crazy but I'm kinda liking the peacock color they have available for this stroller.
@Baby Boy Mom: Oooh didn't realize the BOB strollers needed to be pumped. That may just sway DH off that one!
@MerryC: I think I will end up being like you and wanting a smaller umbrella stroller for shopping, too. I'm not a fan of pushing the larger outdoors ones around the mall and stuff. Such a pain. The combi looks excellent! I like the price point.
@Running Elley: I've been meaning to wall you to find out how life with your little ones is going and for tips on how to manage those early newborn days! Our LO's will be around the same age apart! Mine will be less than 13 months apart and we're having a girl after a boy, too!
@Weagle: Yes, it's the fact that they are so wide that makes them unappealing to me!
@Bao: I like the price point on this! Will look into it more!
@Rainbow Sprinkles: sounds like I really need to get my hands on a Mountain Buggy. I've never seen one in person and live in a small town where I can't go check them out at a BBB or something, agh!
-
@HLK208: Do you use the Britax for, say, the mall then and use the BOB simply for outside? I can see the appeal of the BOB.
I guess there really is no perfect double and they're just going to be bulky and awkward by virtue of being a double!
-
We have a Britax B Ready that I love and a Jovy Caboose that I don't.
-
Mrs. Bee posted on double strollers and loved her Combi:
-
@lilyann: yes, we did!
-
@coopsmama: I'll wall you tonight or tomorrow night
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: You're swaying me towards the Duet instead of the +One!
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: I have a couple questions about the Duet (since I might have to sell the GT when we move): does your older LO have enough room in the seat? and can/could you fit it in the back of a sedan when folded?
-
@Baby Boy Mom: The seats are smaller than a normal side-by-side, but only an inch (or less) than the city mini double. My LO is almost two and she's on the smaller side, but she fits great and still has room to grow. The other day I took her for a ride in a down jacket and she still fit fine.
My husband has a sedan (an Acura TL) but we haven't tried putting in the back of his car yet. It fits great in the back of my car (Honda CR-V), though. I will try and fit it in his and then get back to you!
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: thanks! That's super helpful! My boys are on the larger side so I was concerned about that but if she fits with a puffy jacket it should definitely be no problem.
-
I got a mountain buggy double used off craiglist. I don't techinically have two yet... it is a jogger which I like, but I definitely would have not paid full price for it.
-
The City Elite can be a double, that's what we have and we really like it. You would just have to buy the seat attachment and spare seat but that's cheaper than a whole new stroller
-
@coopsmama: We have a Mountain Buggy duet like @Rainbow Sprinkles:. I love it! @Baby Boy Mom: It fits just fine in the back of our nanny's Civic.
-
@coopsmama: yep. There's no way I could fit both doubles in the back of my SUV so we have to pack one of them depending on the day. But...we're going to have a third row seat up when baby arrives so we're probably going to use an umbrella stroller and wear baby most days while we're out.
-
@meganmp: excellent! Good to know!
-
Baby Jogger is HUGE and I can't imagine using it indoor at all. I tried it and tried to go around the store in it and it was just ridiculous.
We plan on getting a Britax B Ready. The Duet was a contender, but I have had so much trouble finding it in person and I like to test drive things.
I did like the b-agile double and the city mini double. -
I have the baby jogger city select. I think that's what it's called. I don't have 2 yet but I love the stroller already!
