When we had a second (two years later) and were finally ready to have both in the stroller, we got a roller board for the Cruz and then a used Vista with two seats. Our older kid sized out of the rumble seat pretty quickly, and he is small for his size. I hated the Vista compared with the Cruz. It's so big and bulky. When your second is a tiny baby, you can babywear him/her. No need to use a stroller right away for the second. If storage space is AT ALL at a premium, or if you live in a house with steps to the front door, don't get the Vista. It's too big.
I'd encourage you to think of your first stroller as just one of many in this journey. We've owned 4 (Thule jogger, Cruz, Vista, Yo-yo). Each have had their time in the sun. We still use the Cruz with the roller board for our kids (3 and 5) and the Yo-Yo for our younger kid. We now also have a wagon for when we want to bring both someplace.
For another single to double option, consider the Peg Perego Agio. It has a lot of the features of the Vista, with a smaller footprint like the Cruz. I wish I'd known about it when I got the Cruz.
I think when you want a double, you'll want the double Thule.
This is great advice. My husband adores the Vista. I love our travel stroller (Silver Cross Jet) because I’m a very petite but very busy person. We both love our wagon.

I have the Cybex Gazelle but have only used it for one child. We purchased it because we are tall people and it had the longest handlebar extension and was the most comfortable for our height. I really like that it feels luxury and we use the car seats, so it was nice having everything of the same brand and no adapters. That said, my complaints are:
The adult cup holder can be too heavy and spill depending on the style cup you put in it.
The footrest for the baby/toddler seat does no lengthen, so once our child hit about 20 months, we had to turn it under the seat and let his feet dangle. It’s fine but could bother some.
I am debating buying the ride on bird attachment but the reviews are horrendous.
It is big so not something you want to keep in your car for travel if limited on space, although we have traveled with it.
