I need help finding a stroller for my 20 month old twins. I have gone through 3 strollers so far: A Peg Perego, which is nice except that it is so huge its like driving a boat, and it won't fit in my car (an Expedition); A Jeep side-by-side, which is decent but it is just about impossible to maneuver through store aisles or doorways; a Kidcraft with "stadium" seating, which was a good price but is way too hard to navigate. I am considering spending the big bucks and buying a good jogger stroller. Does anyone have suggestions for a super stroller for twins? Thanks!

Both of mine had stopped using the stroller by that age, preferring to walk - so I can't help, sorry!

I'm looking for one, too. My son was walking at 8 months, he's almost 16 months now, but just because he is capable of walking, doesn't mean he wants to walk all the time. Also, we sometimes have discipline issues, so he sometimes has to be contained whether he likes it or not.

Sarah (Peculiar Lady) and Sandy (BlessedMommaofMany) have some really good suggestions, so I hope they'll pop in here.

My boss has THIS and it's great. Folds up easily and it's very compact, easy to maneuver through doorways, etc. They got it for going to Disneyworld and it worked great in the park and also folding up to go on the plane.
Kind of expensive though.

I would recommend a Dreamer Design stroller. Their double strollers fold in both directions, and everyone I know who has owned one was very happy with it.

What do you mean they fold in both directions?

I am not sure how else to explain it, lol. They collapse side to side and top to bottom...like if you folded a piece of paper once, turned it and folded it again. At least some of their designs do--I have seen it in person (they made them where I used to live) and it's way cool. Makes it so much easier to fit places!

yeah we had one like that....it folds down normal, then can fold in half length wise too so that it took up less room. I can't remember if we still have it...I think we threw it away because something broke on it...I will get Paul to check the storage area and if we do I can take a pic of how it folds.

Well if you are willing to spend the big bucks the BOB stoller or the Phil & Teds are both awesome! I have used both for my one year old and the child I babysit sometimes and they are like pushing a Cadillac compared to my InStep Safari (which I *love*)!

The BOB is especially nice, I have taken it grocery shopping, to the library and tons of other places and I love it!

THIS is the double stroller we have. I love it ... it's easier to fold, and very easy to maneuver in stores. A lot of stores I've been to lately actually tell parents to not bring their side-by-side strollers, as they won't be able to fit them through the aisles and displays. Ours gets used daily ... and a nice perk is that the back seat of it fully reclines, AND will accomodate pretty much any company's infant seats (should you choose to have another child). Also, when it folds down, it is the same size as a single stroller. The basket underneath is easily accessible as well (which is always a bonus!) The price is nice too!!!
