OK, my twin moms out there, I need twin stroller advice. I'm about to purchase one other than our snap and go for the infant carriers and I'm thinking between the Maclaren Twin Triumph and the Combi Twin stroller. Anyone have any advice or experience to share about their twin stroller? What do you like or not like?
The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head. I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true. This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either. Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure. I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week. This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...

we have the Graco DuoRider which i love but it is too wide
And Leigh, I may be slender, but I'm really really strong. I can carry my 65 lb 9-year-old up the stairs to bed when she's fallen asleep on the couch and I can carry 37 lbs of squirmy baby around the house.
I don't know the first thing about strollers, let alone strollers for two. But I remembered Jayme over at Tater Twins wrote about it a while back. Her boys are very close in age to yours. I love our snap and go, but we need to find a new one too. Our little guys tries to sit up and look out now.
Hope this helps.

Here's my checklist for our next stroller
1. One step, easy folding/opening
2. Preferably light weight
3. Tandem
4. Easy, one handed steering
I was anti-stroller till I discovered I was having twins. I hate, absolutely despise, pushing the stroller. I would rather carry them both. I'm forever excusing myself through crowds and bumping into things, plus people are instantly attracted to the stroller like moths to a light!
We also have a Graco DuoGlider - we bought it to go with their carseats - but the thing is a BUS so we gave it to the daycare for the occasional need there.
We had a snap-n-go but converted to the BOB when the kiddos were 5 months old. They love it.
Why I love it:
1 - super easy to fold, one handed if need be
2- easy to steer, has a front swivel wheel and turns on a dime
3 - it's side by side, which was important to me, yet I've NEVER found a doorway it couldn't fit through. Some retails stores (like the GAP) I've had challenges with, but that is very, very rare.
4 - if you are a jogger or walker, it is ESSENTIAL. You will just have to trust me on that.
5 - it carries up to 100 pounds, so can be used until you are completely out of a stroller.
I cannot say enough good things about this stroller. It was pricey, but is truly the only stroller we will ever need. If I had to pick one baby item I could not live without, it would be my BOB.
Sorry I am not much help!
