help... they don't like the stroller!

[abseptember]

My DD was never a stroller fan which wasn't ideal but since there was only one of her it wasn't too big of a deal. Well now the twins aren't fans of riding in the stroller either (i.e. at least one is screaming/crying 90% of the ride). Since there's 2 of them and my DD is only 2, this is a big deal! I have to have them in it to do anything. I've tried putting toys and stuff for them to look at but that doesn't really help. They are just over 2 mths. Thoughts, suggestions?

I don't have any suggestions, just sympathy! MY DS has always hated the stroller and like you with my singleton I just made do since with one baby you can get away with that. I'm terrified of these babies hating the stroller like DS! Do you have a snap n go for their carseats? My DS hated his carseat so the snap and go wasn't a great option for us, but I'm hoping if the twins put up with their carseats they will put up with the snap and go.

I have the graco ready to grow and their carseats snap into it. They do a little better with the carseat configuration rather than just riding in the stroller but the stroller weighs a ton with the carseats in which isn't good in our super hilly neighborhood.

My twins weren't big fans of the stroller either, but that wasn't until they were older. plus, since there were two of them and two of us we just carried them. At 2 months we snapped their carseats into the snap-n-go and they slept most of the time they were in it. All that to say, I'm sorry, I have no working advice.

Are the seats completely reclined when the babies are in it? Maybe they'll be more comfortable if you incline it a bit? Have you tried those snuzzler insert things so they're more cozy in the stroller seats? Maybe there's too much space for them to feel secure?

One of the seats doesn't change position. For the one that does, it doesn't seem to matter what recline we set it on. I haven't tried the snuzzler insert but I could.
