STROLLERS, STROLLERS, STROLLERS!!!

Its like mommy of two crack. CB still really needs to have a space to ride in the stroller. I  need to be able to strap his cute butt down so he doesn't run off. Which, I'm assuming with two children, will be incredibly important.

I want a side by side double stroller. One that folds almost completely flat. Has enough storage for 2 kids worth of crap + mommy shopping. Jogger is preferable because I feel like they handle better than non-jogging strollers. Affordable. Almost all double strollers come with a hefty price tag, but for someone thats on their third stroller in less than 2 years, well I just want a stroller that is gonna last and that I'm going to enjoy using.

The front runner of the Doubles:

City Mini Double

  • Pros: 
    • Went in store and folded it up. Folds flatter than our current single jogger
    • I like that I don't have to uncover both kids if I want to check on Bean
    • Easy fold system (Easiest I've seen in a stroller) 
    • High weight limit (100lbs)
    • VERY light weight which will be good for pushing 2 kids in a stroller + shopping bags and stuff
  • Cons:
    • Relatively expensive at 400$ + 50$ for the bar attachment to clip the car seat onto it. 
    • Wide (but that comes with wanting only a side-by-side) 
Peg-Perego Double (I have yet to test drive this stroller)
  • Pros
    • 60/40 split seating - Bigger side for older child 
    • Has child trays already built in
  • Cons
    • The shade kind of sucks
    • For the price its not that great of a stroller
    • Very little storage
Joovy Scooter Double (I have not test driven this stroller)
  • Pros
    • Built almost exactly like the City Mini Double
    • Smaller price tag at only 230$ which makes it a big bonus in my book
    • 90 LB total weight cap 
  • Cons
    • Reviews say it doesn't turn as sharply as City Mini 
    • Unsure if it would work with our infant seat
    • Can't seem to locate the actual website
Good lord there is a Micro City Double yeah I think I need to look around but I think I want this one. Its got most of the features I loved in the city mini, but with a price tag of 270$ its doesn't have that sticker shock factor. 

If anyone has any of these strollers or a seriously good suggestion for their own. I would love to hear about it!
