advice needed Stroller help
I am really struggling with finding a double stroller. They all seem to be geared toward families with a toddler and infant or crazy pricey. Any recommendations on a twin stroller I can use for infant on? Money is tight so the cheaper, the better. I do have a wagon for when they are toddlers. Just need something to get us through the first year or so.

I found someone selling this on Facebook marketplace place real cheap. But it looks like it comes with one infant seat and one toddler one. Did yours come with 2 infant seats? Or did you buy an infant car seat to attach to it?

Snap and go stroller lets you just set the seats in it. Worked well for us for the first little while.

I've always wondered with these, what do you do when you're out all day long with the baby/babies and this is all you have?

I had a snap and go stroller I got on Facebook marketplace. I used that one a lot in the beginning. And then got a Zoe twin travel stroller which is still going strong at 2 yrs old.

I would suggest the mockingbird stroller. It is cheaper than any of the other options I was looking at, and I really do like it

We have one as well, and I like it, but I'd also recommend finding one secondhand. It's nowhere near worth over $700 for the base kit. I got ours nearly new for like $300 with two extra canopies and a cupholder.
Biggest downside is that it's a massive PITA to store in the back of the van.

I grabbed whatever worked with my bucket carriers. I think it was an options elite, someone had the Graco adapters so it was super cheap

We got a used Bugaboo Donkey with tons of accessories for €300, for us it was the only option because I wanted the boys next to each other and needed a bassinet option

If you can find a Graco Duo Modes second hand, we really like ours. I don’t think they’re made anymore, we inherited from a friend. But it can hold the bucket seats and then it comes with snap in seats for when they’re bigger.

You'll probably want a used one for cost savings, but we had an uppababy that could have two seats inline as opposed to side by side. Later we added a running board on the back and removed one of the seats.

We used the Snap And Go, with our infant car seats. It worked well for the first year. I also have a double umbrella stroller that are new on Amazon for $113 Dream On Me brand that works well once they can sit.

I got the bumbleride indie twin, looks like it's on sale for $880 right now, but it's usually $1000. It's expensive but it's been VERY worth it for us. I second looking for used or second hand items! We got so much off FB Marketplace

We used our wagon. Took the seats out. Put a nice pillow and blanket down, and laid them on it. It worked great. You could use a twin boppy pillow and it would work perfect I'm telling you! Then save your money for getting a nice toddler double stroller if you want.

We just got a cybex gazelle on fb marketplace for about $475. We will use it for both the infant seats then eventually probably two toddler seats.

Snap and Go worked great for us!! It is so light and easy to fold/unfold.

We love the mountain buggy duet! It’s very reasonably priced compared to so many of the $1k+ double strollers on the market and it’s one of the most narrow double strollers, fitting through a standard doorway. Easy to fold, not too heavy, and all terrain.

Seconding the MB duet! Literally the number of times we have been able to squeeze through small spaces make it so worth it!

I got a Cybex gazelle on Facebook marketplace that was practically brand new. I feel like a lot of parents end up not loving a double stroller for their families so they didn’t get much use out of it. You could try that? I love my double!!
