I have been researching these for months, I have yet to purchase because I keep hoping that BOB will decide to make my stroller in a double option before spring (BOB motion). We have decided on the bumble ride indie twin, I walk a lot with Hayley and I like that it can "off-road". I know it's above the requested price point. I really liked the city mini GT twin but it is not compatible with our infant seat. I almost went with the BOB revolution pro(nicer model is $200 cheaper at REI than BBB or BRU) but it's a few pounds heavier and I would have to buy a car seat adapter, the bumble ride comes with in the box.
Lucie's List has a great breakdown - she categorizes them from side by side to front and back and through all types of terrain abilities, I don't have a link but if you google it with 2014/2015 you'll find her updated list- I found it very helpful!
I don't have a double stroller yet but I'm planning on getting the city select. I watched a couple of YouTube videos comparing double strollers and that's the one that seemed like the best to me.
We are undecided on whether to even get one. My niece and nephew are exactly as far apart as Maggie and this baby will be and my brother and ex-SIL told us they basically never used theirs.
@sing2phins this is my fear. Fortunately, we already had the Britax B Ready, so purchasing the second seat option was not too pricey. I'll let you know what I end up doing when B is here---both kids in the double, or wearing B and keeping Hadley in the lighter umbrella stroller for spring and summer outings. The only 'perk' I can see to the B Ready is that has the standing board for when the kids are older....

I know I don't have 2 but my SIL just had her second and they are 2 years and some change apart. She had to get a double stroller, even though she didn't want to. It became a hassle because the older one got jealous that the other one was in a stroller, needed a nap or just didn't want to walk anymore. That being said, she doesn't babywear so that may have contributed.
Anyway, she got the City Select single stroller and bought the second seat. I love it, I would totally get it for a 2nd. It's small and manageable. It looks sleek too.

Your vista can be converted to a double stroller as well. I didn't know if you knew that.
trtlcrzy I did know that. But I don't know if I would use it for 2, I'm not crazy about the configuration. I have to try it out.
I watched a video on YouTube comparing the vista, city select and the b-ready. I think that Lucie's list may have actually done it. I thought it was helpful.

Fwiw- I decided on a side by side stroller because the convertible options ala the b-ready, vista, etc mostly required one child to be backwards or have their view obscured. Hayley hates it when she can't see, and she loves to kick, I saw a disaster waiting to happen for my family at least with that set up. A friend of mine has 3 under 4 and had a configuration like that for 2 and her boys fought constantly.
So much to consider, I found the stroller decision a bit overwhelming. So many different styles to choose from!
