Side by Side, or Tandem* Stroller?
Saturday, July 9th, 2005Within the next few months, I will need to purchase a double stroller. If you’ve had experiences with them, please do share your wisdom! Thanks in advance.
If Baby Girl arrives around the due date, the kids will be about 24 months apart. Baby Boy is quite loving and generous, but I have no way of knowing how he will react to having to share everything including Mama and Baba with his little sister. He might get jealous and hit her, like some horror stories I’ve heard. Or he might fall in love with her immediately and protect her like a real big brother would / should.
So my questions. Do you think a Side by Side double stroller is better to have than a Tandem* one? If you have one of the types, why do you like it / dislike it? Do you have any suggestions on brands?
My only concern (and it’s probably not very realistic) for a Side by Side is that, it will too wide to maneuver through narrow isles and so on. Other than that, I really have no opinion / experience with either thus far.
Thanks so much for your suggestions / advice!
* I’m not entirely sure of the correct name for that style. It’s the type where one seat is in front of the other, in a linear fashion.
