    Double Strollers - any suggestions?

    Hello!  I have a three month old and am currently six weeks pregnant (crazy, I know).  Anyway, I'm trying to find an all purpose double stroller.  We live in the suburbs and do a lot of walking (trails) and shopping (malls).  I want something that will be comfy for a newborn and an eleven month old (i.e., seats that fully recline and can also be fully upright), can fit through doorways easily, is stylish, durable, has an adjustable handle (my husband and I are both on the tall side), etc.  I'm willing to splurge because I don't want to have to buy three different cheapo strollers.  So far, I'm leaning towards the Mountain Buggy Urban Double.  Any thoughts or suggestions?  Thanks!

    Have you heard of the Valco Baby twin. sort of like the mountain buggy. Probably a little more luxury. You can attach and infant seat to one side and it fits through a standard doorway. Plus, it comes with alot of extras(tire pump, rain cover, head huggers, strap covers and front bar) It isa beautiful stroller. Good luck!

    I have the Phil and Teds double stroller and love it - I live in London and walk everywhere - I first had the Graco Duoglider and it's like pushing a bus.  The Phil and Teds is great b/c the baby can lay completely flat and the smaller one can go in a seat that snaps on top - baby is quietly hidden below.  They are coming out with two new ones - a sport which has much better options then the past e3 and the new GT should be out this summer - it has a lighter frame.  The only downside is at least the older style is a bit bulky to fold up - but they may be improving this on the new models.  I have bought mine on Ebay and saved at least $100 in doing so.  Another double you see quite a lot here is the Jane brand one - I think www.letsgostrolling.com carries this one.  Best of luck to you!
