Combi twin savvy or Mountain buggy twin?

[aidansmom]

I apologize for posting a stroller question, but I'm really confused and due in just a couple of weeks! :
DH and I thought we had decided on Mountain buggy urban twin for second baby (ds is 2yo), particularly because it has the option of carrying an infant carrier. With my son, the snap 'n go was one of my favorite things, and I can't imagine having to wake the baby every time you take them out of the car, so this was an important option for me. Also, if I was going to spend this kind of money, I wanted something that would do well for long walks around the neighborhood, as well as for trips to the mall, WDW, etc. The problem is, while it folds up relatively easily, it barely fits in the back of our Camry and is pretty heavy.
In the meantime, I discovered that the new Combi Savvy twin will now be able to accomodate an infant carrier. My concern is that this will not be a good outside, long-walk stroller.
Anybody had either of these??? Any opinions???
We plan on using whatever we get in Disney in December, so if anybody has travelled with either, that would be really helpful to hear about!
THANKS!!

I'm also due w/ #2 soon and in the process of deciding on a SBS. I did not like the Combi. It felt very cheap and rickety. I could hold the handle and sway it side to side w/ all wheels on the ground. I also did not like the Mac SBS due to the umbrella handles. It is a bit more difficult to steer w/ 1 hand which I need to do a lot.

I'm going w/ the Peg Aria double. It officially does not accommodate a car seat but at the mall this week I ran across 2 women who had it and they both had car seats attached. I stopped them immediately and talked to both about the Peg. They said they've had no problem resting the car seat securely in the seat. Unless you're going up or down a curb it should not be an issue. It's soooo lightweight and folds easily after being shown and tried it 2X's.

I have a MBUD but not a Twin Savvy. They are 2 very, very different strollers. The MBUD is a bit cumbersome to use as your "everyday" stroller. It's relatively light/flat folding for what it is (an all-terrain) but it is no fun to lift up and out or put into what I drove then (a Nissan Maxima). It would also be harder to travel with, especially if you are flying. We took our MBUD with us to WDW but we drove that trip and also drove to the parks on the days we used it so that we didn't have to worry about using it on the bus transportation. We also took along 2 single lightweight strollers so we would take those on the days we used Disney transportation. Combis are generally not great outdoor strollers. I do also have a Combi Savvy single and it does not perform well outdoors and did not work well once my older son was past 3 years of age. It got harder to push and his feet dragged on the ground. The MBUD works well with larger/older kids. My now 7 year old can ride in ours if he wants/needs to and it is still a breeze to push. If it is in the budget, you may want to buy both.....if not, I would probably say go with the Combi Twin....unless you will be doing lots of outdoor treks. If you will be in/out of the car and doing more mall crawling, you will probably get more use out of the Twin Savvy, especially if you want to take it on a trip. BUT, the MBUD outperforms the Combi and will probably serve you better in the long run if your kids ride in a stroller for years to come. You do realize that the Combi will only accept the Combi infant carseat, so take into account that you would need to purchase their carseat. BUT, if you want to fly with the MB, you would most likely want to purchase their travel bag.
