I LOVE starting out with the snap and go stroller. So easy to just take the care seats out and plop them in the stroller for a quick run to the store or coffee shop. I tested the double mockingbird once and didnât like it. It just didnât feel sturdy.. the Zoe is a great side by side stroller that do not take two car seats at once but I would consider this as a second stroller once your babes have better head control. Though the wheels arenât the best for rough terrains in which case if itâs an issue, Iâd go for a jogging stroller like the Bob or Thule.
As someone who has tested DOZENs of double strollers (profession) and am about to be a mom of 2 myself, I would highly recommend the Zoe Twin with the upgraded wheels. Alternatively, have you considered the Bombi Bebee Twin? The Bombi or the Zoe would be what I would get for wanting something that you can fold up and take with you. The Bombi has a bit of a different fold, more akin to a Bugaboo Butterfly (push down with the handle and it tri-folds, VS Zoe where you pull the strap at the seat and folds in half). Also a big fan of the Valco options, however it's heavier than I think you're looking for. By the way, I work at GoodBuy Gear (which is how I know so much about strollers) and I'm writing from this account. Double strollers sell out quickly especially side-by-sides!
Once twins hit that stage, the Vista starts feeling *real* cramped! If youâre looking for a solid side-by-side that wonât break the bank, Iâd recommend checking out the Zoe Twin (especially with the upgraded wheels) or the Bombi Bebee Twin. Both are lightweight, travel-friendly, and easy to fold. The Bombi has a push-down tri-fold similar to the Bugaboo Butterfly, while the Zoe folds in half by pulling a strap on the seat. By the way, I work at GoodBuy Gear (where Iâve tested more double strollers than I can count đ ). We often have these models in gently used or open box condition for an average of 55% off retail, and we will have lots of great stroller sales happening this month, so it might be worth a peek if youâre hoping to save a bit!
We use the Zoe side by side now that theyâre older. I feel like tandems are only good for the first year at most. We did the cheap baby trend double stroller frame for the first 4-6 months. 2 bouncers and the twin Z pillow. Also baby brezza formula dispenser if formula feeding.
Neither. Both are total pains to get in and out of car and if youâre like me you take it everywhere. We went with the Zoe. Uppababy now had a minu duo thatâs like the Zoe but in my opinion itâs not as nice as in smaller canopies, less accessories, and the wheels are horrible.
We have the bumble ride indie twin and have loved it. My boys are now 3 but we still use it. Fits though doorways. Off roads great. We got the adapters for nuna car seats. Itâs very heavy and big though so when they were around 1 we got the Zoe double stroller for traveling and quick daily things.
I couldnât use my vista as a double. My oldest is very tall and couldnât fit in the lower seat, which is intended for the older one. We quickly moved to the Zoe double, which I love.
Let me preface this by saying we have a 14M age gap and the kids are newly 4 and almost 3. You need to PLAN AHEAD. Zoe Double is the GOAT. Itâs lightweight and you can use it for pretty much anything. We use it for travel, Disney and everyday stuff. Buy the stroller bag for more storage. The Vista is more streamlined, but it is a POS with the bassinet on the bottom and itâs so bulky. We had to hack it with the snug seat on top and the older kid on the bottom. Whatâs worse is that once your kids are approaching 2.5, depending on their height and weight, the rumble seat gets too small and the canopy is tight over their heads. The older kid also puts their feet on the rumble seat canopy if both are FF, so we have to keep the top kid RF. Also FWIW, if youâre realllllllyyyyy in need or traveling, a cheapo umbrella stroller with a higher weight limit for the eldest kid. If we have a third and we need to, this is the plan.
