I have to agree with the above poster. Some of the gift shops are a very tight fit with a single, so a double sometimes just doesn't work. When we used a double (side by side) there were many stores it was difficult to look around. So, usually I or DH would go inside to browse and the other would stay outside with the stroller. A front to back double might be slightly easier, but those things are so hard to turn in tight spaces, it might be just as difficult.
