Sleek

Agreed! Maybe walking is your child's preference, but it will not always be yours! My oldest daughter is 2.5 and even still if she wants to walk it is slow as mud trying to get from place to place. Toddlers dilly dally and if you need to get some place fast you will want the option to contain them. As far as what I'd recommend as someone who sees a LOT of double strollers: Side by side: Zoe Twin, Bombi Bebee Twin, or Valco Trend Duo or Valco Slim Twin (more of a splurge) For in-line strollers: Mockingbird, Thule Sleek (more of a splurge) I also personally haven't tested these yet but the MomCozy stroller and the new Gladly Grasshopper look really versatile! By the way, I work at GoodBuy Gear where we sell open box and secondhand strollers, and I'm writing from this account. Holler with any other questions!

We had the Thule Sleek Double and LOVED IT! Well made, durable, fairly lightweight. There’s a ton of different configurations, including option to use a seat + car seat for baby.

20 month age gap and absolutely love my Thule sleek

We have the thule sleek that works well in almost anything. We did get the Osprey Poco Plus backpack and my daughter loves that. We also have a couple of baby carriers that we used.

I have the thule sleek and the chicco attachment for it! We've owned it for 3 years and it has been nice. You can probably find one used for fairly cheap.

I bought the Thule Sleek with all of the extra seats/bassine, etc., thankfully second hand because my goodness that all would have cost me a fortune. I had essentially the same experience. It sounds like they are designed almost identically. I didn't mind the stroller as a single stroller, minus the fact that it took up a ton of trunk space. It was actually really nice and we have gotten a ton of use out of it. I was so excited to finally use it as a double stroller when our second was born. Baby hated the bassinet so every time we went for a walk I ended up pushing the massive double stroller and carrying baby anyway. And side note... There aren't any straps in the bassinet. So what is preventing your newborn from getting flopped around when you hit a bump or go up a hill? Seems sketchy lol. We bought the infant car seat adapter and that worked great for us when we took a trip. Toddler sat in the smaller companion/lower seat and didn't seem to notice. The bassinet has come in handy while traveling because I used it in place of bringing a pack and play, even if we never use it on the stroller. Once my baby was 6 months old and we started using the two seats together, that's when I got especially frustrated. I cannot believe they designed it so the larger seat always has to be on top while the younger child needs to be at the bottom/farther away from the parent. It is designed to only face both seats to the front or both seats to the back. In neither configuration can I see my younger baby. I was, however, able to create my own configuration where the lower/front seat faces back and the top/upper seat faces forward. This will only work while my baby is smaller because there isn't much space as toddler's feet are resting on the baby's lap bar thingy. But for the time being, it works great. I can see baby, and he can see sibling and mommy. I wonder if you could do something like that with your seats. https://preview.redd.it/zyolkrhqrqbf1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=f7c9b97a7ac56be8df8d04268797e33130a101a1

2 months into a 26 age gap. I have a double Thule with a bassinet attachment. Got it second hand on FB marketplace and I’m glad I didn’t pay full price because it’s a PITA to push around and get in and out of the car. Glad we have it but idk how much I’m going to use it tbh. I almost feel like 2 strollers is easier on outings when my husband joins.

Hi! Expecting #1 in Sept. We got a Thule jogging stroller with the bassinet attachment. Then we got a uppababy Minu V3 since it is newborn ready and is approved to go in the overhead bin on a plane! We're skipping the newborn car seat/stroller combo and just got a convertible car seat.
