Author	Topic: Twin Strollers - Tandem or Side-by-Side?

	My wife and I are expecting twins. We've started looking at all the baby stuff we have to buy, but we can't decide what we want to do about the stroller. Right now we're thinking tandem because you can use the car seats with them. But is the convenience for just the first few months worth being the deciding factor? I know there are several parents on this board, but have any of you had to get a double stroller? If so, I'd like to know your choice and why. They're just so expensive, I'd hate to get one and then regret it. -----signature----- Proud father of twin girls! May the force be with me...

	Sweetie, I would think with twins, convenience IS the deciding factor. I dunno, I think the tandem would be better because it wouldn't take up as much space as a "double-wide". Plus with using the carseats it would be great and most models have the option of not using the carseat when they get old enough to sit by themselves so you're really getting a two in one option. My son is 4 months and we're still using the carseat in the stroller so you'll be using it for a bit. Plus the fact that with two of them you'll want to make your lives as easy as possible. Go to babiesrus.com and check out the double strollers. There are some good reviews on the Duoglider Travel system from moms of twins. It's $250 but it does have the car seat option. Congratulations and good luck! -----signature----- For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

	Tandem, then they can pretend to be jet fighters. I'd assume they're also easier to get through doors and other such openings than the side-by-side type. -----signature----- Vader's Mousedroid Society Fanfic links in my bio My fan art: http://boards.theforce.net/fan_art/b10020/26961879/ Bei der Instalation ältere Versionen aktualisiert # Boards: -1 \| # Messages: -1 (-1 today)

	The downside to tandem would be, the one child can make fun of the other if they learn who usually got the front seat except if you switch around every so often ... but where's the fun in that? -----signature----- We do what we must Because we can For the good of all of us Except the ones who are dead

	Thanks for the advice! I did see a tandem that you can turn around the front seat so they can face each other. Tandem, then they can pretend to be jet fighters. moosemousse - I think you sold me with that. I work in the fighter industry and love jets, so I could have (too much) fun with that, too! -----signature----- Proud father of twin girls! May the force be with me...
