Get a single file one not a side by side. I had 3 toddlers when we used to go to SeaWorld (we live in Florida and had annual passes so we went at least once a month) they are much easier to travel with. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Baby-Trend-Sit-N-Stand-Double-Stroller. This is the one we had.
We have a Baby Trend Sit N Stand double stroller that we got free from our neighborhood buy nothing group. We only use it for walks in our neighborhood because it is so heavy and bulky. For anything involving a car trip we baby wear and take a single stroller for toddler or have the toddler walk and have a stroller for baby. Have you considered a wagon as another route? Expensive but you would be able to use it a lot longer!!
In the beginning we did the baby trend snap and go. We had so many appointments to go the first 2 months and didn’t want anything bulky especially recovering from c section. Then after babies turned 6 months we switched to mockingbird (tandem seating) for days where we will be out longer than usual. The seats lie down for them to sleep. But it really is up to you and your preference and how it’ll work for your family. The side by side was just too bulky and heavy for me and going through doors was a hassle. Some places the doors weren’t wide enough. However, we also have the baby trend sit and stand for easy travel with twins and it’s more foldable and portable than the mockingbird.
For reference we love our Zoe for travel if you're looking at it, but it doesn't fit all of your criteria. We've upped the storage capacity with a carabiner on the handle and purchased the side mesh bag attachments for it. We also looked at the Baby Trend Sit n Stand and the Joovy Caboose for compact double options.
Hi! We have the baby trend double stroller sit and stand. I love the stroller. It’s really easy to close and open, I just don’t like the straps for when my twins start to actually use the seats. The car seat however it gets really hot during the summer. My twins just turned 6 months and I just bought them a Grace convertible stroller. But we’re keeping the stroller.
I had the graco premier stroller for my first and it was definitely luxurious but it was HUGE. I would recommend something smaller and easier to get in and out of the car. Once my son turned 1.5 I switched him to a $20 umbrella stroller and I’ve loved it. Now he’s almost 2 and we’re about to welcome our second baby. We purchased a BabyTrend SitNStand second hand. I can’t give much of a review yet because baby #2 isn’t here yet but it seems like it’s going to be great. Lighter weight than our first stroller despite being a double.
We brought the baby trend sit/stand stroller when my kids were 5 and 3. We did use it for the airport to keep them together and when walking around the ports. It was hot at the ports so it helped to provide some shade. While strollers are annoying to lug along, I was glad I had it. The younger one napped in it and it was a place to stow all the stuff when walking around. It stored under the bed easily. We took another cruise at age 6 and almost 4. That time I just brought the single small stroller for the 3 yo. It was much easier to deal with and the 6yo was fine with walking. Next time it will be no stroller.
I have this one too for my kids who are 18 months apart! after stressing myself out researching the best possible stroller and hounding fb marketplace I bought it for $100. Is it the most luxurious smooth ride ever? No, but it does the trick for now even though turns are a workout haha. We use it at least 4x a week. When my youngest was really tiny I was able to get the car seat secured on it and now she’s steady enough at 3 months that she’s ok in the back seat fully reclined. We use it for neighborhood walks and will probably go with the wagon when my youngest can sit. But I like that my oldest will have the option to sit/stand eventually too. When I take them out I usually have a car seat caddy stroller for my youngest and let my oldest walk. Sometimes I hold him and let his butt rest on the stroller handlebars if he gets tired.
