Double Stroller Recommendation?
SpacemanSpiff:
Looking for a recommendation on a Graco double stroller. Have #2 on the way (kiddos will be about 20 months apart) and looking to get a stroller that would be compatible with the carrier we already have (Graco click connect) so as to avoid purchasing a new carrier and base for the car. DW tends to go for a walk most days so long as there isn't snow on the ground.
Here is the section of their website with their double strollers: http://www.gracobaby.com/en-US/Double-Strollers#facet:&productBeginIndex:0&orderBy:5&pageView:grid&minPrice:&maxPrice:&pageSize:&.
Wanted to see if anyone here had a recommendation (or general advice even if you haven't used Graco in the past).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and let me know if there is any relevant information I have not provided!

I've pushed a Graco double stroller that had two kids in it. It was the kind that was quite long. That thing was a real pain to get over curbs and other large bumps because its lever arm was huge due to its length combined with the weight of the two kid (both toddlers in this case). I have a double stroller that is more of the stacking kind (as opposed to the Graco limousine), and it's not as bad to get over curbs.
My point is that I would recommend the shortest/compact-est/least-long version of a double stroller that you can find.

My bike trailer seats two kids and can convert to a stroller. It works really well as a stroller and is very easy to push over bumps, I think this is due to the large inflatable tires (rather than small solid ones). The down side is that it's pretty large (although most double strollers are very big), and I find it hard to maneuver in enclosed areas.

Good to know - thanks for the advice. Will definitely have to consider that

Will probably stick with ones that folds up to fit in the back of my wife's car since she likes to go to a park when she has the time. Will definitely be keeping maneuverability in mind

The bike trailer actually does pack flat (wheels pop off) and is easy to fit in a trunk . . . it just has a large footprint.
