Oh, so darned cute. You know, we returned our double stroller, so I'm back to researching them. Do you find in the side-by-side that the weight discrepency makes steering a bit difficult? I've heard that.
I haven't noticed that at all. One thing I've done (because of the recommendation from other moms) is to put the heavier child on the right (my right) side of the stroller since I'm right handed. The model I have is called the Macclaren Twin Techno. Most parents seem to love it. I love that it folds up so compactly, fits through a single set of doors..my complaints are that it doesn't have trays and there are no cup holders (though I did purchase a cupholder I could just snap on). Some parents don't like that it can't fit a newborn bucket seat into it, though you can place a newborn just in the stroller since the seats recline all the way back. Jules won't stay in any stroller for very long (unless he's asleep) since he's just the kind of baby I can't put down, so I end up carting Leo in the stroller and using it for storage while I carry Jules in the sling. I'm hoping when he's Mary's age he'll like the stroller more. Some moms also don't like side by sides because the kids can touch each other, but I've been able to solve that with Leo through gentle discipline (also, if the newborn is reclined all the way back, there is a barrier so the toddler can't touch them. If I were you, I'd look type Twin Techno into an Amazon search and read the reviews from other moms. I'd also research other strollers and do the same thing :-)
