So, I know there have been lots of discussions on here about strollers. We ordered our stroller which is called Valcobaby Tri-Mode Stroller. I thought it was perfect! We ordered the car seat attachments too to go with it. We just got our car seats and tried to put them all together. It didn't quite go as planned. The stroller with the car seat attachments does not fit two car seats. So now I don't know what to do. I want to keep the stroller as I love it and it will be perfect when they get a little older and out of the car seats but I need to find something that will fit our car seats. Any suggestions????

What a bummer! What about the frame snap strollers? Here is one I found for twins that works with the Graco infant carseats...

We used the Baby Trend double snap n go and it worked great with the infant car seats. However, we just upgraded as our babies out grew their car seats and found a stroller that I wish I would have known about before I had the twins. It is called Contours. It comes with one car seat attachment but you can buy another one. The seats (for when they are older) can be moved to face each other, face towards you, face outwards, whatever combination you want. We love it and it maneuvers way better than our Double Snap n Go. We got the Contours at Babies R Us.

Yeah, I threw a Baby Trend Double Snap N Go Stroller on our registry just in case they don't actually fit the double stroller they're supposedly going to fit in. Plus it's lighter so my friends thought I might find it easier lugging in and out of the car than the full stroller just to sit them in carseats. It's at Target and Babies R Us for $99.99.

SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED TO ME!!!! That Valco is HUGE!!!! I tried to use it for a few weeks, then couldn't return it because it was used. I ended up selling it for a big loss and bought the City Jogger Mini Double Stroller. It is a godsend. I love it. But you should use the Snap and Go first, it is much easier while they are in the infant seats. Once they outgrow it (around 8 months) get the City MIni.

We used the double snap n go until about 8 months. Now I use the bumbleride indie twin.

I have the duo glider and it works just fine. Good luck.

We had the same problem with our bumbleride. I really wanted a side-by-side that fit through doors though, so it couldn't be helped. We used the baby trend snap'n'go until the boys got too long for their infant carseats. I loved it. We used it ALL the time. It fit so nicely in the trunk, was easy to set up and fold down, and held up well. We were going to get one used off of craigslist, but we got one as a gift.

We know have a Combi side-by-side for shopping trips as the Bumbleride takes up too much room in the trunk.
