Double Strollers, vol.2

[AMC]

I was wondering if anyone has the E3 stroller. My kids will be 18mos apart and I need a double stroller. What I really want to know is, will a toddler actually enjoy sitting in the bottom seat? I can't imagine one sitting down there!

You know I don't have two babies, but spend so much time on the stroller boards it's easy to regurgitate what I've read.

the only grumblings that I've heard about the E3 is that you have to take off the back seat to fold. there were no complains on other child sitting in the back.

I thought there was a thread about the zooper tango twin that everyone loves since you can use a baby carseat with it as well.


but if you're looking for one that is narrow/umbrella style fold.
the marco sky has the one in the back elevated so both can see, but it's not yet available in the states, but you can probably find one on ebay.


If you're looking for a running stroller here are some other options.

Valco


MBUD


this one is also not available in the US, but looks so nice - Powertwin

I did some research on the E3 when we were thinking of buying one for a friend for her baby shower. Some people said their toddler liked to reach down and grab the wheels, and got ticked about not being able to see. Others liked it fine.

Wow genndan, those are some cool strollers! Where did you find them?
I remember that Zooper thread but with the new models you can't use an infant seat. I think people do anyways, the same with the Peg Aria.

emschwar thanks for the post.

I adore that Powertwin - there's one on Ebay right now - brand new, but it's $465 and hasn't even met the reserve yet! Plus, that doesn't include the $60 S/H from Canada! If I had lots of $$$ to spend, I'd get it though

I know I'm jumping the gun big time here- I'm not due for 71/2 months but I like to plan and this is driving me nuts. Right now we have the Pliko 3 and LOVE it. Ideally, I would like to get the Peg Perego double stroller but the only one that is available that fits an infant seat is this one:



I'm wondering if its going to be hard to get in and out of stores with it being side by side. And does anyone have this one and tried using it with an infant seat? I'm not even sure a snugride would adapt to this stroller.

The other option: The duoglider-



This stroller looks like it might be easier to go up and down aisles with and get around. But we had a graco travel system before our P3 and I wasn't really impressed.

Any feedback would be appreciated! TIA!

my kids are 20 months apart and we got the SBS tango zooper. The 04 model takes/holds the bucket seat. I couldn't be happier w/this stroller. Yes it's on the heavy side but IMO it's a very small price to pay for the quality and one handed steering. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my stroller and got in on sale for $150. It also comes w/all the accesesories like the rain cover, cozy toes and sun cover.
ETA: and since it's a side by side it can be tough to be in small stores like gymboree but I've never had any trouble getting through a door.

We have the Zooper Tango too and LOVE it! It steers so effortlessly even though it's on the heavy side. We live in the city and I put a lot of wear and tear on strollers. I love all of the accessories that it comes with and the customer service for Zooper is awesome. BTW, I have a 6 mos old and a 2 yr old and I've never had a problem with the stroller feeling out of balance. It's a good, sturdy stroller.

There's already a thread on double strollers - http://www.constantchatter.com/showt...ghlight=double

I picked up a used duo-glider. More or less happy with it. It fits down most aisles (mostly only use it for shopping) but it is a bit hard to steer with a 2 year old up front and a baby in a carrier in the back with all the weigh "up front". However I only paid $65 for it so I can live with it's faults.
