Does anyone have a Combi Twin Savvy double strollers or know someone who does? Or a MacLauren Stadium Seating Double stroller, the one that uses a frame similar to a single stroller size frame?
If you have any other great recs for double that are side by side or stadium seating style, please let me know too!
I know a lot of people use and like their Graco doubles, but I can't stand them due to how they push and having nerve damage in my right shoulder and arm, the long frame just doesn't agree with me! [:p]
I like the sound of the Graco side by side, my only problem is that it says it doesn't hold an infant car seat carrier...know of any side by sides that do take car seat carriers? Especially with a winter baby due, I know I'll keep them bundled in the seat a lot those first months for protection from the elements!
It's so hard to tell from the adds, especially when there aren't many reviews on them.....

Thanks all for any tips and help!

Sorry Bree but i don't know of any. I tried a few and got a graco double stroller (stadium seating). Because i don't know of any side by side strollers that carry infant car seats. I really like my graco double stroller a lot! Sorry it didn't work for you. Maybe you could try it again after you have the baby and see if it's still to rough for you or not.

Hi Bree, and congrats on your pregnancy...
I too had the Graco DuoGlider (in-line, stadium seating) and really loved it...it was narrow enough to navigate ANYWHERE. (Sweet hubby got me a side-by-side later, and I rarely used it...even though it was much lighter weight...)

Have you thought about going into a BabiesRUs (or whatever baby store near you) and "test-driving" some on the sales floor? Explain to the associate your shoulder challenge, but make it clear you need narrow and dual-car seat accomodating....

Stroller selection is SUCH a subjective choice, I'd not pick one without "trying" it at least on the sales floor first...

Good luck, and let us know what you find!
Best and blessings to you!

I had the Graco in-line stroller, as well. Mine pushed very well. I do so much shopping, etc, that the side-by-side wouldn't have worked in many situations.

I like Cheryl's suggestion of test driving a bunch of different styles, if you haven't already. While test driving, it's good to put something in the stroller (bout 10 pounds), they push differently with weight (sometimes better), and push the stroller all through the store. Gives you an idea of what you'll be dealing with.

Good luck! :D

Even if you don't have multiples the multiple birth association may be able to give you some ideas and advice on where you can get something suitable and what is good and perhaps even let you know of a client selling one second hand. They may even hire you out something suitable.

Those side by side full on twin prams can be horrible - we went through two and they wouldn't even fit into a disabled toilet so if I was out shopping and had a call of nature and was on my own I had no choice but to go home holding on all the way there LOL.

Thanks for the tips...yes, I've been to babies r us here near us and they don't have any side by sides, just a couple of doubles at all, and both are the inline Graco and Jeep.....thanks.
