staircases or into the car by myself)<br>5- Easy fold (because this has proven invaluable when Baby Boy couldn&#8217;t yet stand)<br>6- Works for an infant (because I don&#8217;t really want to deal with a car seat contraption)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With those features in mind, I started looking for a side by side stroller. This preference over a tandem has to do with no.1 going more easily up curbs, no.6 working for an infant, and just my general impression that it will be easier to use for two kiddos that are pretty close in age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Double-Stroller-Finalists\"><\/span>Double Stroller Finalists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My finalists (they all work with a newborn, so here are the other 5 criteria broken down):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Baby-Jogger-City-Mini-Double-GT\"><\/span><strong>Baby Jogger City Mini Double GT<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atinytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/city-mini-double-gt.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atinytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/city-mini-double-gt.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.atinytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/city-mini-double-gt-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.atinytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/city-mini-double-gt-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros\"><\/span>Pros:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One handed fold!<br>Lighter at 32 lbs<br>Excellent sunshade<br>Also, we love our City Mini and there&#8217;s something to be said for brand loyalty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons\"><\/span><br>Cons:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Smallest wheels at 8.5&#8243;<br>Neutral:<br>29.5&#8243; wide<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mountain-Buggy-Duet\"><\/span><strong>Mountain Buggy Duet<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atinytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/mt-buggy-duet.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atinytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/mt-buggy-duet.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.atinytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/mt-buggy-duet-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.atinytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/mt-buggy-duet-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros-2\"><\/span>Pros:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Only 25&#8243; wide!<br>10&#8243; wheels should help with the bumps<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons-2\"><\/span>Cons:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>34 lbs!<br>Two handed fold<br>Sunshade just ok<br>It&#8217;s a newer stroller and I feel like they haven&#8217;t gotten the kinks out yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bugaboo-Indie-Twin\"><\/span><strong>Bugaboo Indie Twin<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atinytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/bumbleride-indie-twin.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3098\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atinytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/bumbleride-indie-twin.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.atinytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/bumbleride-indie-twin-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.atinytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/bumbleride-indie-twin-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros-3\"><\/span>Pros:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Good sunshade<br>Seems really well made.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons-3\"><\/span>Cons:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>34 lbs!<br>Two handed fold<br>Neutral:<br>29&#8243; width<br>12&#8243; tires- can definitely handle bumps but might be too big for our city purposes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We haven&#8217;t made any decision yet, but hopefully we&#8217;ll be able to check them out in person before we have to make our final decision!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The absolute first thing I started researching when we found out about Baby Boy 2 was double strollers.
