Can someone tell me if this will be a good stroller to use once per day to get dd into school in the mornings? I think I would rather have a side by side rather than tandem b/c I don't think my arms are long enough to push a tandem through the two sets of door ways I have to go through, while holding the door and trying to get dd through. It's hard w/ a singe mid size graco. Am I making any sense?:confused:
If not, what would be the "perfect" stroller for my situation? The babies are 6 months and 11 months. I really do not want to spend anymore that $200 since these are daycare kids and not my own. This (http://www.albeebaby.com/chc5litwdost1.html) is the one I'm looking at right now.

I had a c5 Twin and loved it, until it broke. I owned it for about a month and right off the bat the foam on the handle ripped, about a week later one of the buckles broke, and then another one broke. So I returned it.
I did :love: it though, so I think I'm just going to buy another one. The lady at BRU asked why I had returned it because it was a well loved stroller and I explained and she said that maybe I had just got a lemon because no one else had had problems with it.

What about the Combi Twin Sport double? (http://www.target.com/Combi-Twin-Sport-Double-Stroller/dp/B0010BIQ9K/ref=cm_reviews_dp_seemore/601-3895383-3893753?ie=UTF8&coliid=&frombrowse=1&alt%5Fview=custReviews&asin=B0010BIQ9K#R3E0460LR6LCWS) is it any better or worse than the C5?

I have a Chicco Trevi single stroller and I absolutely love it! So from looking at this one it looks very similar. My only complaint is that the sunshade is VERY little and doesn't provide much protection. So for little ones you might want to be careful of that.

:thumbsup: The sunshade won't be a problem since we'll only be in the sun for about 30 seconds from the car to the school.
This would be so much easier if they would just stick a teacher out front to get kids out of the cars in the morning.
When going through a door with a tandem, you just go in backwards. Use your back to open the door, and use your foot to hold the door.
