Maclaren - Twin Techno

We had the maclaren twin techno which is a side by side, but the same width as a larger single pram. Much preferred it to our tandem (city jogger), when it was windy the tandem was really hard to control

Everyone is so different and if I had to do it over again I would make different decisions haha. I didn't end up using my fancy big twin stroller barely at all in the first 6 months (was sooo heavy, had stairs) and instead used the very basic snap'n go twin framed stroller because I could stick their infant car seats in there (had Chiccos, I think). So when they were napping, it was so much easier to transfer them that way. Got it off another twin mom for $40. The first two strollers you posted look a lot like my "big" stroller. I like the look of the Zoe twin more tbh (wasn't available here at the time I don't think, but I live in Canada so don't have as much selection) We did make ourselves use the big double stroller (it was a top bottom one, not side-to-side\_ but it just really hurt my back hoofing it around everywhere and eventually, I just stopped beating myself up over the $$$, haha and sold it. Hated the stupid adapters, lol. Wish I had never bought it! haha. Our favourite stroller was a super cheap delta side-by-side because it was SO light and we could travel with it, I think they went in there around 6-8 months? One of my other twin mom friends had the same situation and she converted to a bike stroller instead. Again, everyone is different. I borrowed a Maclaren side-by-side and also really enjoyed that one. I honestly would not rush to buy a stroller at all unless you see a crushing sale or someone else is buying it for you. Used twin strollers are super discounted as well, or last season, etc. That said, what works for one family might not work for another. A lot of people baby carry in the beginning as well, though it's trickier with twins. Good luck, welcome to the club! :)

We started with an evenflo wagon (highly recommend), ended up having to get a side by side double for travelling since the wagon was too big to gate check. We use both of them all the time. Older kid is still going to want to sit, especially just because the younger gets to, and you'll appreciate the option to not hold one or chase one around. Our kids usually both want to ride so they can sit and play together. Also, save some money and buy used off marketplace or something, you can get nice ones there for cheap. We paid $50 for a maclaren side by side that we've had for about a year now. I see the wagons in good shape for $80-120 fairly regularly around me. If you don't like what you get, relist it for what you paid and try again. Whatever you end up getting, make sure it reclines for when both kids need a nap on the move. I doubted my wife but she was 10000% right on that decision.

• bugaboo donkey • GB stroller • Maclaren double travel stroller • babytrend stroller wagon • Wonderfold W4 Hmmm so quite a bit. I have three kids now with youngest just turning 1.

5, technically, but 2 live at the grandparents’ houses. Of the other 3, we use 2 regularly - a Bob jogging stroller and an Uppababy vista. The third was a freebie from Facebook - a maclaren umbrella stroller. While the umbrella stroller is definitely smaller and lighter, I find it more awkward to unfold than the Uppababy, so that’s what lives in the bigger vehicle and what I use on occasion at the grocery store if I only need a few things. The only one we (or the rest of our family) spent any money on was the Uppababy. The rest we were v fortunate to get locally free.

We got a Doona (with isofix) for the first couple of months, still very happy about that decision! We also got a second hand stroller with convertible bassinet (2 in 1). Besides those first purchases for the first couple of months, we got 1-2-3 car seats with isofix for both kids for when they grew out of the Doona (I can't remember the brand). We had our baby registry at Dreambaby and with the extra coupon you got (a percentage of what was sold from the list), we bought the car seat. When they got too big for the second hand stroller, we bought a Maclaren stroller (easy to fold and didn't take up too much room in the car). We always tried to take into account safety, combined with not using up too much room or storage, because babies come with a lot of stuff!

Agree - options are key. We have three and they all get used really frequently. All except one we got used or free. The Cybex Gazelle (one up one down) as our narrow / light everyday stroller, a double jogging stroller for longer walks w the dogs, and a Maclaren umbrella stroller for travel / airport trips. They all have been so useful in various ways!

we have a maclaren.. cheap and good

Yeah, it’s great from newborn till 3 I’d guess… it takes too much room… we also owned a McLaren umbrella stroller that was also great… but to begin with I’d go with the Uppa Baby that also has the bed… it was amazing for us

Living in Europe too and MacLarens are where it’s at.
