Question double stroller for tot & baby

cmcki737 · Nov 9, 2011

Having a really hard time with double strollers. So far I have had a Combi side by side double, baby jogger city classic, phil & teds vibe, and maclaren twin traveller and found fault with all of them. I need a double that can do mall trips, fit in small cars, behind 3rd rows of SUV's and works for outside walks so I don't mind getting two seperate ones but if anyone knows of one that could meet all these needs it would be awesome. At current I am selling my Vibe tomorrow and will have only single strollers left so I will not be able to go out on my own until I get a new one

What have you liked and not liked about each stroller? Personally, I love my P&T, and it seems to me that it should meet all of your criteria.

The p&t was my favorite so far but it was really heavy to load in and out of the car and I hated the lack of storage when the doubles kit was attached. I thought about getting a classic bc I have heard that it is lighter then the vibe but if I am correct then the lower seat does not recline at all.

To answer the rest of your question I loved how light the combi was but my older child could reach the younger one while in his car seat or when I put him directly in the stroller and she would grab at him and pull on him (they are age 20 months and 4 months), the maclaren did not fit behind the SUV's 3rd row and could not fit the car seat on it and the baby jogger was just so huge and heavy it drove me nuts but I did like how my older child could not touch the younger one.

The Classic is only one pound lighter than the Vibe. 25 vs 26.

Ok so it would not make a difference...maybe I'm just spoiled by the great singles I have had and expect too much from a double

I can't believe the traveller won't fit in your trunk, I keep mine on the floor in between the middle and front seat of the van.

What about the new pp aria twin? I've heard it's actually alot nicer then the old ones, fits and infant seat and comes in pretty colors?

I have a Suzuki XL7 and when the 3rd row is up it did not fit and we need the stroller most when we have 6 or 7 passengers so it caused issues. Is the Aria the 60/40 split stroller? If so I have thought about it but not been able to see one IRL and did not know if my Shuttle 33 would work with it.

I've had alot of pp strollers and I've never had an infant seat not fit. Now, I don't expect them to click on like a travel system but when you recline the seat and put the carseat in, with the bar it nests. And combi seats are pretty narrow, I can't see it not fitting.

I just looked up the double mini and it looks like a nice choice.
