Moms Options For Avoiding a Double Stroller
Adding a sibling to the family mix brings lots of excitement and a bit of fear to families already crammed for space. A new addition brings more toys and the need for additional sleeping space and a way to transport multiple children. While some families opt for double strollers, budget and space limitations have others looking for alternatives.
Strollin': Double Stroller Roundup
This week rounded out our month of stroller reviews. The double strollers were a delight to test drive, especially since I'm in need of one myself. Check out my slideshow to see which ones I reviewed this past week.
Strollin': phil & teds Vibe
I won't say that I saved the best for last, but the phil & teds Vibe is pretty darn sweet. Lightweight aluminum frame strollers have been dominating the market in recent years. New to the party is the fabulously sleek and functional Vibe.
Strollin': BOB Revolution Duallie 12-inch Stroller
When running after your kids isn't the only exercise you count on, the BOB double stroller enables jogging mommies to keep their running regimen up — even with double trouble on their hands.
Perfect for sidewalks, bumpy roads, and tattered trails, the BOB Revolution Duallie 12-inch Stroller keeps parents on track and their wee ones secure. While it's a bit wider than some others in the same class, the BOB offers families peace of mind that their lil honey is getting treated to a classy ride, as cushy reclining seats and air-filled suspension wheels provide a smooth run even over the bumpiest of roads.
Strollin': Maclaren Twin Techno XT
As you may remember from my Maclaren Volo review, I am a Maclaren fan. They are easy to manage, lightweight and practical. For those reasons alone, I was sure the Maclaren Twin Techno XT would win me over — even at $380!
Strollin': Joovy Caboose Ultralight Stroller
Double strollers can be double the pain as they take up more space and often weigh more than a single option. However, when you've got more than one tot, they are usually a necessary evil.
As I quickly approach my due date, I am eager to find the double stroller of my dreams.
Strollin': Double Seaters
On a personal quest, I was especially fired up to explore the world of double strollers. Thanks to Right Start, I've got a pretty good idea of what's out there and hope that I can pass on some of what I learned to you.
I found it daunting to find the perfect single stroller two years ago.

Double Check Your Baby Goods!
Subsequent babies get lots of newborn hand-me-downs, but parents should double check their items to make sure they are still safe. In the time that passes between one tot's use and the next, goods may have been recalled or held to new safety standards.
- Car Seats: Car seats are manufactured to last approximately six years, so be sure to check the manufacture date before installing it in your vehicle. It's also imperative to check the brand's website for news and to make sure the straps and harness are in working order.
- Cribs: Make sure the slats are not cracked or missing and that they are not spaced more than 2 3/8 inches apart. The mattress should also be checked to see that it fits snugly into the crib.
Best Stroller for Wheeling Two
This morning's poll showcased 2007's strollers for those wheeling around one child. But, as a mom on the constant go with two — I'll say that the latest and greatest of 2007 strollers for hauling around a lil load of precious cargo is Phil and Ted's Sports Buggy.
The genius buggy from New Zealand is a single stroller ($400) that has the option for baby to lay flat or bundled up in a cocoon ($65) and to sit upright when they get older.
Strollin': Taga Gets New Mamas Moving
There's always an excuse to get out of exercising — especially when there's a new baby in tow. The Dutch, who take their bicycle riding rather seriously (check out their balance bikes) and are known for their innovative stroller design (think about the Bugaboo), are at it again with the Taga — a combination high-end stroller and bicycle. Though the Taga has yet to make its American debut, we wonder if it will be a hit when it gets here.
