Double Stroller Advice Needed

I'm planning on purchasing a double stroller in March when we are back in the States. So, all those moms of 2 or more little ones, I would love some input! I really like the idea of the sit n' stand stroller. I think one of those would work out well. They seem smaller than a true double stroller. Who out there has a sit n' stand and which one did you purchase? I've discovered the joovy caboose and it seems to have good reviews. Anyone out there with a joovy and what do you think of it? I'll primarily use the stroller for trips to the shopping center. If we go on any trips by airplane I'll be able to take it with us as well. I'd also like input on how they fold up. We have a pretty small car out here - we have a hard enough time with luggage and our umbrella stroller. So, if a double stroller would even fit in our car it would probably be the only thing! Anyhow, any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have the joovy caboose ultralight and LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. It is perfect! There is a basket the front seat reclines -- it does not do so great if both kids need to sleep, but that has only happened like once in 3 years. It is light and small when folded up yet easy to push around

I'm not much help because I bought the Graco one so that I could fit the baby carseat in it. I like it but it does NOT fold up small and getting it into the trunk can be a pain. So only buy that one if your planning on staying in the states.

We have the joovy caboose and we love it too. It turns on a dime! We had a true double stroller and trying to manuever it was a big pain. Mine didn't come with the parent organizer (cupholders etc. on the handle) but I got it for my birthday this past year. Anyway with that addition I would say it's perfect. Dallin can jump in and out and if Emily and Dallin are both tired they can both squeeze in the back seat if they need to--good luck.

I have the Graco double stroller that the baby carseat can fit into. I like it. It is not real compact, but I have been grateful at times that I can buckle Alanna in too so that she can't get out (if she is trying to run around in the mall :) ). Good luck. ;)

If you get the Joovy, definitely get the Ultralight. It's definitely worth the money - it's lighter, slightly shorter, and has more accessories (like the parent cupholder Amy mentioned).

I personally LOVE my Phil and Ted's. If I was only allowed to have one stroller, that's what I'd get. It has a super small footprint, folds up smaller than my Graco single stroller, and pushes one-handed really easily.
