OT: Double Stroller Recommendation

Hello All Forum Friends...
Looking for recommendations on a double stroller, side-by-side, probably some type of jogger type stroller that will fit through doors. We have a In Step II Safari, like it a lot but doesn't fit thru all doors. Does anyone have the Dreamer Design Double Stroller? How does that do thru doors?
Thank you,
Kristie

I dont know if this is an idea for you but I have two umbrella strollers and these attachment pieces that will hold them together. Then if I need to just use one, I can unhook them. I got them at Babies R Us, they are called "stroller connectors". Just a thought.....

We just ordered a Kelty double jogging stroller. Would Only recommend it for jogging purposes. The 2 seats are pretty narrow and there is a bar over the seats that our son's head will hit probably in a year or two.

Ditto! I love mine and it is the size of a standard wheelchair, so anywhere wheelchair accessible, I am golden!

We do like our Graco tandem. It is a work horse and has a tremendous strage capacity underneath(also things do not fall out of the side when stuffed full), nice trays for each child with cups and for the parent a tray with cup holders and closable compartment up by the handle. It stands up right in the back of my mini van when I snap off the front tray (easy to do). My little ones are about the same age but one is heavier and she sits in the back. They have been using this stroller since they are 7 months old and they will turn three next week. Anna

I have a Chicco side-by-side umbrella type stroller. It fits through most doorways and is very sturdy. It is heavier than your typical umbrella-type, but there is storage underneath, the seats recline independently -- and it takes a beating. I like it much better than my Evenflo tandem. The tandem is a little easier to maneuver, but it is very heavy and bulky getting in and out of the car.

Double stroller recommendations

My friend has this one. I bought the single, I have not used it....since my son is not home yet. She is happy with it. I think its very nice.
