Strollers…Select, Review and Buy!
Looking to buy a double baby stroller? With the growing number of manufacturers getting into the stroller game, how can you decide which is the one for you and your little blessings? Here are the top three strollers on the market today:
The Graco DuoGlider
Perfect for parents with two infants, both seats are able to accept Graco, SnugRide or SafeSeat infant car seats in both chairs. This front-back double stroller has removable canopies over each seat and multi-position reclining. The rear seat even has the ability to fold down completely allowing larger children the opportunity to nap as well. With storage in mind for both parents and children, the front seat has a child’s tray with cup holder, while the parent storage tray has a cup holder and storage compartment for keys. In addition, an extra large storage basket offers plenty of space for packages and diaper bags. And, the one hand fold is a great feature for parents trying to load two little ones into the car quickly and easily.
Sit and Stand
This sturdy front-back double stroller is made with an infant and toddler in mind. While small children can sit in the front with or without an infant carrier, older children can stand on the rear platform, or sit down on the rear bench. The front seat offers an infant tray and is removable, while the parent tray has two cup holders. The lightweight and durable steel frame construction offers a one hand folding mechanism.
Aria Twin MT Stroller
This side-by-side double stroller is lightweight and folds easily and compactly. Once folded, it can even stand on its own. It fits through standard doorways and offers all-wheel suspension, swivel front wheels and rear wheel breaks for a smooth ride. Multi-position seats and dual snack trays make it a good choice for both children. With individual canopies and parent cup holders, this stroller is made with everyone in mind.
While the sheer number of types of double baby strollers can be overwhelming, make sure you know your families needs, your expectations and the best available options on the market today. Then, choose with confidence and enjoy the ride!

I am pregnant with my 2nd baby who will be here in August. My son will be 15 months then. What is the best double stroller. I prefer a front/back one instead of side-by-side.
So far I like this one but would like to search for more:

I am not spending $600+ on a bugaboo stroller
If you can afford a Phil and Teds, get that. If not, the contours is a good 2nd choice. It is difficult to maneuver but no more so that any other tandem double stroller. They are all bad except the Phil in Teds. Not sure about Bugaboo, they are difficult to find in my area. If you don’t want to spend too much, Target has a sit to stand convertible double stroller on sale for $100 right now. I have this one and I hate it but, it has the same issues as all the other tandems. Its still better than the gracos and you can convert it to a stand and sit model when your oldest is just a little too big for the stroller but still gets tired. Thats why I bought it, oh and the price was right. You can put your car seat in it until your youngest is big enough for the seat it comes with. I hate the big strollers so bad I make my 2 year old walk while I carry the baby in a ruck on my back but sometimes I need the stroller when I’m shopping. That’s where the Phil and Teds falls short is the lack of basket space.
I’m expecting my second child soon and I have a 17 month old son so I will be needing a duo stroller. I’d prefer a tandem(I think that’s the right term) over the side by side kind and looking for it to be no more than like $300.
If anybody can help me out with links or names of stores where I can find one and preferably personal experience on why you think it’s the best it will be greatly appreciated!
I would recommend the Sit N Stand Plus Double Stroller. It is a double stroller that can convert into a sit and stand. In a year your older toddler may not want to ride in a stroller any more so this one may last a bit longer. I believe it comes with a car seat adapter too.

I need advice from parents of twins or two young ones. I have a 1yr old with a little one on the way (due in a month). Therefore I will have a toddler and an infant. We want them to ride together, but that would mean our Eddie Bauer carseat has to fit in the duo stroller we pick. I’m pretty sure it would fit in the Eddie Bauer stoller, but I also like the Peg Perego Aria Twin 60/40 (I’m hoping it would fit in that one). I’m not sure which one to pick so I need experienced opinions. Thoughts on other strollers are welcome as well. I do NOT want to spend over $300 on a stroller….just FYI.
Eddie Bauer is crap. All of their products are horrible. They are part of the Dorel Juvenile Group–Safety 1st, Cosco. They’re notorious for recalls. The stroller is bulky, squeaky, and the trays snap off every time you fold the stroller. You couldn’t pay me to put a child in one of their strollers or car seats. Get the Peg Perego–it’s awesome. They make great products. The only downside: I think it only fits their car seats.
The tandem stroller (front/back) is bulky and overall a poor design. They’re hard to maneuver and just uncomfortable. I LOVE my Maclaren stroller and their double strollers are great. But, they don’t accept car seats. Although, it’s safe to say that in the summer it’ll be too hot to put a car seat in there, anyway, and next summer, you won’t need one. So, you may want to look at one and consider using the stroller without a car seat. Plus, they fold up super small (all the others are ENORMOUS and will take over your entire trunk/garage) and are lightweight and easy to push.
It comes in other colors, too!
