Stroller Debates

When I was pregnant with Ellie, my major anxiety area (besides the whole becoming a parent thing) was the stroller. There are a LOT of stroller options. And people have VERY strong opinions about them. And I'm very indecisive. So it was quite the recipe for disaster.

Finally, after much soul and wallet searching, we settled on this stroller in blue.

I wasn't blown away by the look of it, but it was the lightest model I saw by far, easy to fold up, and with a great basket, so we've been very happy with it.

But now, I'm in a whole new terrain--the DOUBLE STROLLER. If I thought single strollers were complicated, this is quadrupled. There are big decisions to make, namely side by side or front and back? You have to worry about two kids irritating each other (will they be close enough to pull each other's hair? Kick each other's seats?) which makes me a bit anxious about sibling relationships in general:)

My debates finally came down to these two options:

The City Mini GT Double, or

The City Select.

Here are some pros and cons of each.

City Mini

• PROs
• It's the double version of what we have already 
• Each kid has a lot of room 
• Great basket 
• One hand fold 
• CONs
• This baby is WIDE--will it be hard to navigate?
• No bassinet option 
• No option to turn into a single

City Select

• PROs
• Can be single OR double 
• MUCH cuter
• Much more narrow to steer
• Good basket access
• Compatible with a bassinet 
• CONs
• No one hand fold 
• Less basket space than a side by side 
• Each seat has less room

Based on our needs, I think I'm going to go for the City Mini double--but first, I want opinions! Which stroller would YOU choose?
