PSA regarding double strollers!

[lolaburns]

This is awesome news. I've been stressing the double-stroller already. They look so ginormous.

I think I like the seating options better than the Joovy Ergo Caboose we have. Does the Graco accept other brands of infant seats?

The reason we got the Joovy was b/c we have a Peg perego infant seat and I wanted baby in back by me. (And our budget was under $350)

The graco is heavier than the Joovy but only by 4 pounds as far as I can tell. The dimensions are similar, but wow the Graco is long when folded.

FWIW, I love my City Select.

I like them too - just not the price tag.

The graco is under $200.

Ugh, I wanted that one SO badly. We just couldn't swing it though. For what we've used it for, mostly just daily walks and occasional trips to the pedi, etc. our city mini double has worked really well. I impressed someone who saw me pushing it with one hand while talking on my phone with the other. But I would still love the city select more. Sigh...

ETA: We live in the country and there aren't any baby stores within an hour + to try them out so I had to go by reviews alone. The CMD fits in our small Ford Focus trunk with room for bags and stuff too. Just fyi since you said the ready2grow is a little bigger. I was worried since I'm not even 5 feet tall and have a little car.

I'm a fan of the Joovy Caboose, which is similar. I for sure would love a City Select, but just not swinging that price tag.

Is it city friendly? Aka small?

I have a similar stroller - but by looking at the dimensions, i would say that it (the graco) is not small. It is as narrow as a single stroller, but LONG.

I am OK in the mall or at the zoo or on a walk in the burbs with mine, but it is obnoxious in smaller shops b/c you need a big turning radius and at 33 pounds that stroller is pretty heavy when loaded up with kids, so steering could be challenging.

If I had to be in the city with 2 kids in a stroller, i would go for a single that can add a rumble seat or something that is more stadium seating and shorter from front to back.

That's my 2 cents.

I will say, I got my City Select on sale in a discontinued color and the deal was basically getting the second seat for free. And since with two tinies, I literally have to use my stroller even just to get them into and out of day care, it's worth it to me.

However, when we were thinking of moving, I was wishing I had the City Mini double instead, because it folds all in one piece, instead of having to take a seat off, and being able to carry it up and down stairs all in one would have been clutch. Still, I'm happy with my "double decker bus" as I call it.

This is why I got the Uppa baby vista Glad you like it though!

I love my CS. It was cheaper than a new car. I almost bought the Graco Quattro Tour Duo but that shit is tall when you fold it and wouldn't fit in my huge trunk. I can fit 4 cases of diapers, a case of paper towels, a case of tissues, two cases of wipes, 3 huge bottles of laundry detergent, along with the rest of our BJs run.

I do love my CS, its light, DS loves it and climbs in himself, I can keep DD facing me. Yes, we spent $750 on it, we got all the accessories. We got it at our local children's furniture store and put it on the same as cash financing with DS's new furniture.
