Help me find a double

[Louisa+3]

Hi~
I am chock full of useless carseat knowledge but am lacking in the stroller department so i am hoping you all can help me.

I have 11 month old twins and need a good double, here is what i am looking for

Light weight
folds smallish
has child and parent trays
durable
hopefully not too expensive

thanks for the help!

I have the Baby Jogger City Mini Double (not a jogging stroller) and it is super light, super easy to fold, incredible sunshades... but expensive and doesn't come with the trays/bars (have to purchase seperately)

A new Baby Jogger City Mini Double MICRO is coming out or is out and less expensive and the sunshades are different... but it something like 16lbs, AWESOME and the fold can't be beat.

OR, there is the Phil & Ted with doubles seat. Again, though these are higher priced strollers.

I'd try CL too :)

Maclaren double on your local Craigslist.

How set are you on the child & parent trays? I can't think of a decent stroller with trays. Maybe someone else knows of something. :)

If the trays are negotiable, I'd go with a BJCMD or Mac Twin. :thumbsup:

Inglesina Twin Swift mo parent trays but you can get a Maclaren bag for it that has cup holders and places to hold diapers and wipes and what-not

has child and parent trays

a tandem stroller has 2 child tray and a parent tray but does not fold small

the maclaren doubles are lightweight and fold small but no child or parent tray

i am really more interested in child trays, i can do with out parent ones or attach one of those bag things

for a side by side - Peg Perego Aria Twin

for tandems there are quite a few to choose from but all dont fold small

I wouldn't do an aria twin for twins. The seats are now different sized to accomodate an infant carrier on 1 side.

I would probably do the baby jogger mini double and buy the trays if you feel that is a must. I don't have the double but am buying the single and I don't love the child tray for it, It sits in an awkward position, or at least it seems awkward to me.

Maclaren double on your local Craigslist.

i would recommend these as well but they don't have the parent and child trays. :thumbsdown:

tandems tend to be heavy and clunky, and don't fold compactly like the maclarens. :thumbsup:

Yeah That....and then add one of those add on snack holder thingers, the name escapes me right now...I can't stand snack trays on my strollers...that's like asking my kids to get the stroller filthy.

Plus, as soon as the kids get to toddler age, it's a piece of junk. A very expensive piece of plastic junk. :thumbsdown:

Nope, but the OP will soon realize she can't have it all in one stroller :p

OP, do a forum search of the Sunshine Kids Buggy Buddy, that would make a great parent tray.

Alot of the newer higher end strollers are now giving you the option to add a child tray, OR you can add like a belly bar, then velcro something like this on there: http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Jogger-Belly-Bar-Console/dp/B0013BVYP0

ok it sounds like the maclaren twin will be the winner, it will replace the quatro duo and combi double that i have and hate
Thanks for the help!
