From the article: Double Strollers for Twins
If you want to get out and about with baby twins, you've got to have a good double stroller. Opinions vary on what makes a "good" double stroller, but all parents agree that it is a must-have piece of equipment when you have twins. Recommend a Stroller
LOVE the Contours Tandem
- I don't know what I would have done without the Contours tandem. I pop the car seats in there, have them face each other (which they love) and off we go. I get constant compliments on it, as it looks great, and while the steering is a hassle as it's long, it's absolutely worth it.

Mommy of twins
- I have a Double Decker stroller. I'm not happy with it for only one reason - it is a bear to turn, since the front wheel is in a locked position (does not rotate). One has to push down the handle, lifting the front tire, to make even the smallest turn. Very disappointing, especially considering it could be great - love the stacking design, big tires etc. It was also the most expensive of the three double strollers I own. I also have the Contours double stroller, which is 100% wonderful in every way except its length - does not fit in my Prius, which is why I bought the Double Decker. We use the Contours around town and keep it in the garage. We also had a double snap n go for awhile, but our girls are in the 95th and 98th percentile for length, and they outgrew the stroller by age 5 months. Otherwise, I loved this stroller! Nice and lightweight, fit in my Prius too. We have Graco SafeSeats. Wish they made this stroller a little longer so we could use it still.

snap n go
- I also am using the snap n go with my twin girls. They are almost 11 months and out growing it of course. I am looking for an inexpensive double umbrella stroller, which I am beginning to realize doesn't exist! I think I'll also buy 2 singles and the kit that attaches them together if needed.

- For the first year, we used the snap n go when the girls were in their infant seats. This is a must have for parents of twins. No need to wake the kids when you get out of the car. Year 2, we used our Graco Duo Glider. Liked it a lot, but is didn't fit in either of our VWs. Only fit in our SUV. Now we just use 2 regular inexpensive umbrella strollers (with a small sun shade and a storage bag in the back), and when we have to, we put them together using a kit we got from Babies R US.

Double Stroller
- We love our Combi side-by-side. We've used it from the time they were born, and my twins will be 2 in a month. It has held up well, and maneuvers easily through doorways and stores. We have a jogger & wagon for outside, but this stroller is great for shopping. I have had to push it while pulling a cart & have not had any problems trying to steer it.

Combi fan here
- We first had the Graco Duo Glider, which was great when they were in their infant carriers. Unlike the snap n go we could put them in it without the carriers once they were 5 mos or so, and they loved it. Once they were around 18 mos, it started getting heavy for me to push and I was tired of struggling getting it in and out of my trunk, so I wanted something lighter. I found the Combi twin saavy side by side. Absolutely loved it! It went everywhere with us including Disney World. Once the boys turned 3, they started to outgrow it so we now use a double jogger, which is way too big and heavy, but it works for when we need it.

MOUNTAIN BUGGY!
- Our Mountain Buggy Urban Double is fabulous! The swivel front wheels make it soooo much better than a standard jogger and it can carry 120 pounds of kids.

Love my Kolcraft Contours
- I have the Kolcraft Contours Tandem Options stroller and LOVE it! The boys are extrememly happy in it - they love to sit facing each other. Handles well outside, in the mall, wherever. It's heavy but I think they all are.

Great Double Stroller!
- My wife and I love this double stroller. Very easy to pull and the kids love it. I can't find another that folds up so flat either. Its called the Fisher Price Utility Stroller. We got a terrific price too from YoungZebra.com {http://www.youngzebra.com/002708432929.html}

Snap and Go
- I have a snap and go. It was great while the girls were little. I didnt have to disturb them by taking them out of their carseats while napping. The storage is great underneath and the mommy cup holder is jsut what the Coffe Dr ordered. They outgrew it as soon as they outgrew their carseats. Worked great for 9 months!

Prefer Side-by-Side
- The tandem system with the infant seats is great for little babies, but once my twins were old enough to sit up and look around, the tandem was misery. They were much happier in a side-by-side where they could see in front of them -- and see each other. We stuck with that for many years.

Live in the McClaren
- I tried the graco tandem and felt like I was steering a cruise ship. Love my McClaren side by side. Although now they are at the point where they whine: "He's touching me, she's on my side." Oh well. Nothing's perfect.
