new (double) stroller

in my “what to exclude” article, i mentioned that our two single strollers had to be replaced when our 2nd baby came along last summer. initially, we bought an evenflo tandem stroller. at the time the “exclude” article was written, i was happy with said stroller, but it didn’t take long for that to change.

i’ll put it this way. if you have twins or two children small enough to require a double stroller, and you suspect you’ll only use a double stroller say a couple times a month, indoors, or outdoors on nicely paved surfaces and not on even the slightest of rough terrain… then the evenflo stroller might be for you.

if like me, however, you need a double stroller to use like a work-horse on almost every outing, skip the evenflo and shell out a little more dough for a nicer alternative.

in my case, the alternative is a combi twin savvy sport. i cannot begin to describe how much easier it is to fold, store, tote, set up, use, push, maneuver…

it’s lightweight and convenient, and as an added bonus it is not dark blue or plaid! :)

it will set you back more than the 89 bucks for the evenflo - i think i paid around 250 at babies r us. you can find them for 150 or so on ebay, with shipping closer to 180-200. but in my experience, it’s probably the best $250 i’ve spent in a long time. i’ve had the combi for several months now, and besides the occasional narrow doorway encounter, it’s a godsend.

    I have a cheapy umbrella side-by-side stroller that I now use most of the time with my twins…this would be a nice upgrade. I kind of miss the old one where they sat in a line, but it was a serious bitch to steer even though it fit through doors better.

    one thing i noticed when testing the side-by-sides is that the ones with 6 wheels were much easier to steer than the ones with 4. but yeah, the tandem stroller was like trying to turn a car in a tight space with no power steering!

  3. Have a case in court to know to visit at, thanks!

    Oh how I wish I had one of these when my kids were younger. We were continuously having to take turns pushing one in the stroller and carrying the other. I love how technology is making things easier for Moms. Go Technology!!

    I had one of these, but it didn’t fold up in such a nice compact way to leave a bit of extra room in the truck of the car. I love this one.

  6. I love this concept, but every compact stroller I have ever known has been so difficult to figure out how to fold and store. I hope this one is easier.
