Question Marathon and Bob Duallie questions?

So my second child is due in November, and I have a pretty small family car. I drive a Chevy Cobalt. When we go on trips, we take my husbands Dodge Ram, but other than that, I have the cobalt. I have a 2 year old that just began FF In a marathon, and I was wondering if anyone has two Marathons next to eachother in a compact car? I have a Graco My ride 65 as a spare car seat, and when the marathon and my ride were in my back seat together, there wasn't even room for my PPB. So, if one MA is rf and the other is ff will they fit? I don't know anyone else that owns one, otherwise I'd test, and I just haven't gone to target to ask either. My second question is about the bob duallie. I have my heart set on it. I've seen baby joggers, P&T's etc. at the zoo or the mall, read reviews, and I just want the duallie. The nearest Buy Buy Baby or REI is 50 miles, so I haven't tested to see if it will fit either. I might be kind of lazy. I have a bob sus and it fits though, and an instep safari double fits, and a chicco cortina fits. I know you've probably heard these questions before, and I've googled them, but I just can't find the anything about my car. Any advice, input or anything, before I decide to order a Marathon and a Duallie, it will be helpful. Thanks!

Sorry no personal experience, but did you know you can order from Amazon with free returns if it doesn't fit in your car?

I used to have a Chevy Cavalier and now have a Malibu. I have used a Marathon & Boulevard together in the back seat of both vehicles. There definitely ins't room for a passenger between the seats but the car seats definitely fit easily and don't touch at all.

As for the BOB Duallie, there is no way that would fit in the trunk of my Malibu! My kids are 25 months apart and I don't even use a stroller most of the time. My toddler prefers to walk and if I go running I leave the kids at home with DH. If I am in a situation where I need to contain my 2.5yr old I will bring our Chicco Echo stroller and wear the baby in the Ergo.

That's very helpful, since no one actually keeps a bob in store around here. I also have an echo and contemplated getting the double, but I was really hoping that the double jogger would fit in my truck so I could both job and use it for other trips out.
