Hi D., my kids are 17 months apart and I thought I needed a double stroller but in actuality you only use it to go to the mall or disney world, so unless you're a jogger I would go cheap!
Hi, I'm looking at the following double strollers: baby jogger city mini, baby jogger city micro, maclaren triumph. Any reviews, advice, or other suggestions. My sons will be 2 years apart.

Baby jogger! I had the opportunity to borrow one from a friend for the day and it is the Lexus of strollers. Holy cow, I fell in love.
Well, I don't know how much you want to spend but I HIGHLY suggest Phil & Ted. My boys are 14 months apart and all the double strollers out there were just entirely too large to fit in my car. I mean 2 car seat in the back seat and the entire trunk filled up w/ stroller I couldn't even do grocery shopping. Anyways, its great and super light weight and folds up like a dream! I got mine @ USA Baby but I think now Target sells them.

This link is to youtube just so you can see what it looks like. Good luck!
My best advice, from a family who has been through MANY double strollers. Borrow a friend with a small child for your shopping trip. Put two children in whatever stroller you are looking at and push it around. We discovered the hard way many strollers that look great, had features we wanted, etc... were not great when you put two children in them. Try before you buy. Some of the coolest srollers were difficult to manuver or push with two kids in there.
love my city mini! so narrow it fits through all doors i've tried and there's NO stroller that's easier to fold! it fits in my civic trunk with room to spare too. only bummer is lack of accessories for a pretty high price. but i did find that if you get the belly bar (much cheaper than the carseat adaptor), you can still stick a carseat in it...maybe not as secure as possible, but i just keep one hand on the carseat & have had no probs. my kids are 2 years apart too & i love how i can have the infant reclined & fully covered with the shade while the big guy is up & open.
I have the Baby Jogger City Mini for my 2 boys (ages 1 and 3) and I LOVE IT!!!! I had a side-by-side Peg Perego Aria and I hated it so much that I used it once and then sold it on craigslist. The baby jogger is super easy to push and most importantly...fits through doorways :)
I do want to suggest to you to get a side by side rather than a front and back double stroller. It makes a heck of a dirrence and they are both equally comfertable. My niece and daughter are the same age and we are always together so my brother and I decided to purchase a double stroller on craigslist and we got a side by side. My friend has the other kind and she hates it. The child that sits int he front is the least comfertable. Hope this helps.
hi D.,
i've got the baby jogger city mini double and i love it. it fits through all standard doorways, is easy to maneuver and has a lot of room for the kids. we tried the maclaren and it was too narrow for my son who is a big kid. he looked all scrunched up. the city mini also folds extremely easily. i have friends with the maclarens and they all say that while they may like the stroller itself, it is definitely a work out to push it. if you are looking for an easier push, i'd go with the baby jogger. plus, you can put a newborn into the baby jogger, each seat reclines fully. good luck!
I know this isn't one of the ones mentioned but I love the BOB revolution dualie.
Just throwing that out there, sorry if it doesn't help.
