Umbrella Double Stroller?

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know of a good place online or not, to get a light double stroller? I only put "umbrella" because i figured they were the lightest.

Thanks in advanced!

I think Toys R Us carries the Kolcraft/Jeep stroller in a double version for ~$80. We bought the McClaren twin Techno because we wanted reclining seats and something a little sturdier. I think it was $225 at BBB. We've been happy with it. That said, it is not "light," but I don't think any doubles really are. It does, however, fold up quite small and compact for a double, which I love.

Look on Craigs list. For many families these are of use for only a year or so. By the time your oldes it 4.5, they're really not going to be worth the hassle.

We actually bought the Jeep double stroller the pp is talking about, but ended up returning it for 2 reasons. 1. it does not have over the shoulder straps, just a lap belt. This would have worked for my almost 3 year old, but not for my almost 1 year old. 2. it has no baskets underneath. Not a necessary thing, but nice! We ended up getting the Chicco umbrella stroller. I think it is this one:

We like it and it was the cheapest we could find besides the Jeep one.

Funny, but because of the title, there is an advertisment for one on the side of this.

What I did was take two umbrella strollers, and got some Clips from Burlington Coat Factories children sections, and clipped the two together. It wasn't the absolute greatest, but for times when I only need one umbrella stroller, I had it. The strollers cost me $9.99 (each) and the clips were the same price, so I had myself a double stroller for thirty dollars.
