Need suggestions for double stroller

[2iowaprincesses]

My 2 girls are almost 1 and almost 2 I need suggestions for a double side by side stroller. We have a graco front to back and we like the side by side better but don't know what one to get. Have been looking at Maclarern, Peg Pergo, Joovy, Chico and Combi. We are going to WDW Dec 2009 and may take this stroller but really need advice on a good everyday stroller..Thanks so much!

I have a Maclaren Twin Techno. I love it! It is a little expensive but I got an 2007 at the end of the year before the 2008s came out and it was on sale. I like side by side better than tandem. It's a little heavy to carry when folding for me anyways. I have to boys 1 and 2 1/2. The 2 1/2 hated the other stroller but rides in this one great! I've never had any problems getting in any doors either, a few aisles at the malls maybe but that/s it. Plus it come with feet warmers and raincovers!

We have a Combi which works well. It folds up compactly and comes with a carrying strap. Taking it with us to Disney tomorrow!!!

I second the Mac Twin Techno. We bought one when DS was 3 months and have been using it ever since. The only problem I see with it, and you'll have this problem with all side by sides, is my boys now fight since they are sitting next to each other. It's quite frustrating, I didn't think I have them fighting already at 4 and 1.

If you can swing it you might want to look at the Phil & Ted's. That is the stroller I REALLY want. It's not side by side but it can convert to a single by taking the double kit off the back. Doesn't hurt to check it out.

My girls will be 4.5 and 3 next month and I've been using a Phil & Ted's E3 for 4 years now and it's been worth every penny (and the new ones are nicer!). My girls still LOVE it and so do I!

I picked up a Combi Twin Savvy for Disney this winter because the E3 is not practical for flying and buses, but if you're driving that won't be an issue and it would be perfect. The Combi has a great small fold and carry strap so it's perfect for buses. My older DD is almost too tall (but she's only 31lbs) - but she fits well enough (still fits great in the E3!!) and I got it for $65 second hand so I can't complain. It's very nice, but it's very plastic - for the price I'd a get the E3 or a Mac any day.

Have you looked at the Baby Jogger City Mini Double? If I were in the market for a new side-by-side that's what I'd get. It's way better in person than the pictures.
