I think people just assume that a SBS will be more difficult to steer because the tandems are so narrow. I liken it to driving a Suburban vs driving a school bus. The Suburban is a bit tricky at first, but the school bus is a nightmare. ;)

As long as you stay under the 29" mark with a SBS, they're so much easier to steer AND you can get through doorways. Unfortunately this eliminates using a Chariot double except outdoors (so I have a Chariot AND an MBUD)... but there are some good other options too--Phil & Ted's, Valco w/ toddler seat (I just added this to my collection--works great if the smaller child is in the jump seat!), or (if you're short or have a short stride) attaching a board. Nothing beats my MBUD though--and I thought I'd hate SBS but ...when I read that Maclaren didn't make a front/back tandem because they're impossible to steer I really had to trust them--they're pretty on the ball.. The MBUD steers like I have 10lbs of kid in it at most. It's amazing. Having two kids is enough work--you shouldn't have to fight with your stroller.

Exactly. And even my Graco SBS was narrow enough at 29" to fit through standard doors. My double bike trailer/stroller combo is not, however. lol

What brand do you have? again, as someone who walks for most of my errands, I cannot sing enough praise of the Trek, and while it can be tight at 1 store in particular (I have to be sure Im headed perfectly straight), I have not found a single door I cannot get it through. bank, dept store, convenience store / gas station, supermarket, all fine.

um....I'd have to go check. lol We bought it at Toys R Us when my 8 yo was a toddler. Not worth replacing it at this point, it's served us well though.
