Stroller
You have a few options when in comes to strollers. The strollers are either side by side or tandem, each with it's own pros and cons.
Side by Side Strollers
The seats of side by side strollers are placed next to each other. The advantage with side by side strollers is that both seats can recline all the way. However, because both seats are next to each other, it is bulkier and may be difficult to take this stroller through narrow isles or narrow doorways.
Tandem Strollers
The seats on tandem strollers are located one behind the other. The advantage of a tandem stroller is that it is very narrow and easily manoeuvrable. However, the twin who sits in the back may not have as much leg room, or the seat of the twin at the front may not recline as much.
Peg Perego Duette offers the ability to reposition the seats, in which the babies can either seat facing each other or one behind the other.
Travel Systems
Tandem strollers that come with at least one infant car seat / carrier are often referred to as travel systems.
The infant
carrier can be very handy when you suddenly have to bottle feed two hungry
babies at the same time.
Jogging Strollers
They are basically your side by side strollers designed for athletes or runners. They have 3 big wheels for easy movement.
Our
choice
We chose the Duo Glider travel system by Graco. It is easy to use and fold. The back seat reclines all the way down, but if you do so, there is no room for the diaper bag. The front seat reclines partially. I wish there was more room in the storage area underneath as well. For some reason it came with one infant car seat and we had to add one more to it. Besides the feeding tip, imagine taking the little ones to the doctors office without them?
* Now that my twins are older, sometimes I wish that I had both types of strollers. Even though side by side strollers are not practical in the stores, my twins have their moments in the tandem type. The twin which seats in the back pulls the hair of the other one or pushes the front seat with her legs, making the other twin mad!!!!! Oh well, never a dull moment with twins.
- Stroll down you will see the stroller we currently use. I really like it.
This is what I call the Cadillac of twins strollers:
I bought this stroller once my twins turned 3 as it was getting difficult to put them in their Graco tandem. This InStep stoller has been great so far and very easy to push. This is meant to be used outdoors. Keep in mind that this stroller is heavy to lift, has limited storage space and is very bulky. Desipite that I still like it.
