Anyone want to talk double strollers?

[sosayweall]

I am debating which double stroller to get. My LOs will be about 20 months apart. We have a single Bob stroller and a Britax B Safe infant seat. I love the Bob and I am debating whether to get the double Bob or something else. I also thought about the Britax B Ready and the City Select. I mainly use the stroller for walks, jogging, and the park, so I like something more all-terrain. Is anyone else looking at double strollers?

You can't jog with the city select. I don't think you are supposed to with the B ready either. I'd get a side by side if you're looking for outside all terrain type.

@ismellbooks I like how the bassinet sits higher and gives more room to the toddler. I found it on amazon and it has more pictures of the different configurations.

+1 (obviously! ). C doesn't mind the stroller this year, though he loves walking around, too. But I have no clue how he'll be in another year. Maybe I'll just wear 2.0 and keep C in an umbrella stroller in the early months.

I AM debating a double jogging stroller, but by the time 2.0 is 6 months old and can safely ride in one, C will be 3 and unlikely to want any part of it.

tgrimes1980 - That sounds like the general ballpark the consignment shop by me sells double strollers. Singles are usually ~$100, doubles from $150-200 depending on brand. Hmmm, maybe they'll let us out early before the long weekend, then I can stop by on my way home...

We bought the Britax B-Ready when pregnant with our first, with the intentions of using it as a double down the road. I love the stroller and think it will be great when we have two little ones. DS will be 22 months when #2 is born, so I definitely think we'll make good use of a double stroller. As he gets a little older, we also have the option of using the stroller board accessory if he doesn't want to ride in a seat.

In this boat. . I will wear newbie a bunch. I'm thinking about getting a sit n stand. DD not a huge fan of the stroller

We love our double BOB! We use it jogging every week with my 2 girls, 1 and 3 years old. It is tough while shopping or in big crowds but great for running. Now we are looking at a single BOB so my DH and I can both push a jogging stroller.

Adding for all terrain I love my bob single so I would think a double would be as great

This. We have a single that converts to an inline double with a second seat or a ride on board (Phil and Teds Navigator). I prefer the Bob ironman for jogging but by the time this LO gets here DS will want nothing to do with it. I also don't think I would enjoy jogging with 2. I miss my arms being free when I run with just one.

Ugh. I've been stressing about this all week. I'm a stroller hater but know I'll need one with 3 kids. At first I wanted a City select, but the cost is just crazy high for something I feel like I won't use a lot.

Right now I'm thinking a Chicco double umbrella stroller and keeping our B-agile. I'll get something bigger if I feel like we need it down the road.

Do you know if you have to buy extras to have all those options?

I believe so! Which is why it's probably out of my budget.

This is the one we bought:
www.amazon.com/Graco-Ready2grow-Connect-Stroller-Glacier/dp/B00UVW3PSQ/ref=sr_1_1?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1441476255&sr=8-1&keywords=graco+ready2grow

It's a little more cost-efficient and it's easy to use. The only thing I don't like is that the second seat only faces backward. DS2 is not cool with that right now. We can switch to the sit n stand option, though. It's pretty easy to maneuver. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase and we didn't spend a fortune.

My oldest just turned 5 and I like having the stroller option for her.

We have a City Select. Love it. And we will be purchasing the standing bar on it since this is baby #3.

+1 DD is 2.5 and she uses her stroller all the time still. But she'll be 3 years 3 mo when LO arrives and DH reminded me the other day that I wore DD everywhere until she was 1 year (we didn't own a stroller until her birthday) so I think I'm going to try to push it off. 

DD is an incredibly slow walker so putting her in the stroller is more for me than her. We walk a lot because of the neighborhood we're in but if we didn't walk/used the car more I wouldn't even consider getting a double at this point.
