I would go down and check out OC Tykes. they have a huge variety to select from.  Here is an old post on some double strollers. http://www.ocmommies.com/forum/topics/most-awesome-stroller-ever

 

I have a graco double http://www.vminnovations.com/product_11418/Graco-DuoGlider-LX-Doubl...

I have my son and I watch Amy C's daughter Chloe 3 days a week, so for pushing 2 babies (got it when they where 8 monts old, it was fine, and it is ok for 2 toddlers they are now 15 and 17 months old, But I tested out a Bumble rider Indie and it was AMAZING. I dont think it is smaller then the bob, but it was very light weight and easy to push.

Just my 2 cents!!

I agree with Nat's suggestion to go to OC Tykes. I went there and they are amazing. They go over every detail, let you take it out for a stroll down the street and rent them for a day. It's really awesome. They can tell you about all the different features and help you find the one that is right for you.

I am selling a Duo Glider like the one Natalie posted a link to.  It is narrow so it's good for taking to the mall or if you need to fit through doorways.  But it is pretty heavy and not nearly as easy to push as the Bob or other joggers. 

 

I might have someone coming to buy it tomorrow, but craigslist buyers are often pretty flaky, so who knows if she'll show!  If you're interested, let me know.  It has minor damage to the back sunshade, but that doesn't affect how well it protects the child sitting in the back.

Having bought (when we lived in IL) an expensive double stroller that I wish I could've tried more in person before buying, I would soooo go OC Tykes.

OC Tykes is great! Bought both our strollers from them. I have the Bumbleride double and love it. It fits through doors, easy to push, even with one hand. It is a bit big when folded, but we fit it in our trunk and we have a honda Accord.

We have the Bumbleride http://www.bumbleride.com/strollers/indie-twin-home.php and we love love love it!  You need a big trunk though as it doesn't collapse really small. But it turns on a dime, has adequate storage and it lays flat so kids can nap comfortably.  I would totally recommend it.  Let me know if you have any questions...

Lucia, I'm considering the Bumbleride as well.  I have a 15 months old son, who will be 20 months when my second baby boy arrives, so I wanted to make sure that this stroller can be used for infants from the beginning. 

 

Thanks!

Monika

I have the double BOB and I love it. The good thing about the BOB is that it keeps it's value. You can take it anywhere. It fits through all wheel chair access doors, gate, etc.  You can jog with it or walk with it on all types of terain.

Hi Monika

My little guy was 19months when little missy was born and we used it from the beginning.  The car seat snaps in and the seats also lay down flat!  I actually worked it so that the canopy would flip forward, unzip the back panel,throw a blanket over and used it as a bassinet for Nadia.  She pretty much napped there for the first few months -  I like that I was able to keep an eye on her when we went for walks.

Hi Veronica, don't know if you've made your decision, but I bought a Maclaren Twin Techno and I love it. It folds to very nearly flat and is suitable from birth, though I didn't use it for my infant until she was about 4 months old because we used a single stroller with her infant car seat as a travel system or she was in a baby carrier. Besides, I found I didn't go out by myself much when she was very young, so it wasn't an issue to have my oldest walk. :) But IF you chose to, you could put a little baby in it. The difference between a Techno and the Triumph is the Techno has larger wheels and more padding on the seat. Totally worth it and makes it suitable for babies. The part I love about it is that it is thin and lightweight (considering it's a double), folds compact, and actually goes through normal size doorways. Barely, but it does. And it's great now that they're both a little older (toddler is 2 1/2, infant is 6 months). They are side by side and I like that. The toddler comforts the baby and is able to give her toys, etc, and they love to just look at each other. I don't know if that will always be a good thing because they're literally 4 inches from eachother, but for now it's a bonus. The only thing I don't like is that I can't look at them while strolling, which was my favorite feature on my single stroller when my first was an infant, but it's not that big a complaint. I plan to use it many more years. Good luck!
