Sorry – I left out information in my previous post. If you encounter a train station in Japan WITHOUT AN ELEVATOR!! The weight issue becomes so important.

Of course now that I have taken the time to relate its wonderful features – they are very specific to an urban life that is not necessarily the reality for most Americans. Everyone has the features they are looking for. The Joovy Ultralight Caboose was definitely a good match for us because of its weight, flexibility, snack tray, and sunshade. And my husband liked the color orange.

Here are some photos of it at work:

Maybe my baby would ride on this kind of stroller, i like the style how they make it. actually this stuff was so fantastic..

Hi,

One quick correction on this article. The BOB Revolution Duallie CAN accommodate a car seat. There’s an optional adapter made by BOB for one or two car seats. Also included are snack trays– if only one infant seat is being used, the snack tray is for the toddler in the other seat.

Thanks for all the helpful information!

I have to disagree with the bad reviews regarding the Graco Duo Glide! I’m sorry, but not every parent has around $500 + to spend on a double stroller. I own the Grace Duo Glide and it has served me well. I have no complaints, and I can steer it with one hand. My sister owned a side-by-side stroller and HATED it. It was hard to manouver, and IMPOSSIBLE to take anywhere due to the width of it. I am disappointed with this post.*

I actually spoke with Jo from Let’s go Strolling about double strollers as well- in particular, I was looking for a versatile all-terrain stroller, and among others, she recommended the BOB Revolution Duallie, which I ended up getting and am very happy with… it’s versatile enough to work as an everyday and jogging/trail stroller, fits an infant seat (with the purchase of an adaptor kit) and is relatively easy to fold up (for a double, anyway!) Definitely worth checking out!

I have the Combi Twin now and LOVE it. I also have the Combi single and can report that it is a dream to travel with and run around an urban environment with (I’ve been coast to coast and BACK with it in the past 15 months). One thing some of the strollers you’ve suggested will absolutely NOT provide is an easy transition from curbside to public transportation (think buses or subways). An urban mother needs to carefully think about what she will be using her stroller for – will she be hopping on buses/subways/taxis or will she be running errands just from her house?? The other thing is that your average urban neighborhood grocery stores often will not be big enough to accommodate some of the bigger strollers in their aisles.
