Jogging stroller for outside and travel stroller for errands is the best combo IMO.
We have a Veer jogger and a Joolz Aer that stays in the car. I love them both for their purpose but would hate them both if I expected them to do it all as a single stroller.
Felt the same way when I was researching. I ultimately decided on the following set up.
Joie Nutmeg and Mint Latch Infant Car Seat - affordable and great reviews - this will be my quick in the car and on the go stroller . I also really like that the seat has a bassinet mode and not another $200/300 attachment needed. This set up and price tag allows me to have a bigger budget for a convertible carseat which will last years compare to 6 months before it gets too heavy.
Veer Jogger - this is more so for our lifestyle and where we live - this will be my stroller for the house and big planned day outings. I like the versatility of this jogger.
All of my friends started with a big travel system stroller that grows with the family, but have all switched to a travel stroller as its more convenient. I did not worry about a stroller that converts to 2. Once baby #2 comes along im sure we will be a wagon stroller family or a side by side two kid stroller.
I would look at Veer's Switchback Strollers. They are designed for all-terrain, super smooth, hose washable, rugged wheels and still look so good for indoor use. The jogger also has a reversible seat, which I think is the only one I've seen.
I absolutely LOVED my double bob. I’ve had the og veer, xl veer and uppababy vista. I always picked the bob. It’s so smooth. Easy to turn and drive one handed and pushed easily even when overloaded. Only negative is the fold.
Also have 7-month twins with Nuna car seats. We don’t live in NYC but a mid-sized city and travel often. I was more indecisive about the stroller system purchase than anything in my entire life, and finally went with the Veer switchback with Nuna adaptors. I didn’t purchase the Nuna Trvl Dbl because you can only click one car seat and I wanted the option for both. We put them in with car seats for airports and quick outings/errands, and the actual seats now that they have good head control for longer outings/walks. Not that I’ve experience the narrow set up, I wouldn’t function with anything wider and definitely not side by side. You have to remember it’s not only doorways but inside anywhere - narrow restaurants, stores, etc. Agree with other comments to chuck two carriers in the bottom of whichever stroller you have so that’s always an option too.
So we went a different route and got the Veer Switchback w/ car seat adaptors, and the Veer wagon w/bassinet attachment. So for the first 4 months, I just had the stroller frame in my car for doctor’s appointments and errands in their car seats, and all our walks were in the wagon with the bassinet. Our switchback setup was also perfect for early travel - we just gate checked the whole shebang. Now that they are 8 months and it’s getting warmer in MT, we’ll have the wagon for most outings and have almost transitioned to the stroller seats. I truly can’t imagine having anything less narrow than the stacked stroller. It’s not just doorways when you are entering completely straight but cafes, stores, busy aisles, etc. We also got the Veer Valet bag, which allows us to ship most of their actual stuff we need for trips to our destination for $79. We are a true Veer family, LOL, but their stuff is so thoughtfully made and versatile. Really recommend!
I was super undecided about this too. And my Husband was adamantly against both. Ended up going front/back. Now that we have the narrow set up in the wild, I can’t imagine having anything even an inch wider. You have to keep in mind it’s not just doors. Maneuvering around crowds, shopping aisles, smaller stores, parking spaces. I also go most places solo, so it’s a lot of whipping the system around with one hand where it helps to have some extra inches of clearance in those doorways. We have the veer system FWIW. It felt more nimble than the vista with much better wheels. We travel often and live in a mountain town.

Travel-friendly, city-nimble, but tiny storage and struggles off-pavement.
