My kids are almost exactly 4 years apart, so we primarily used it for Disney trips when the big kid needed to use the stroller. I like that each side can hold 55 pounds, plus it folds easily and compactly and has been very sturdy.<br /><br />I should also note that despite having the double stroller, I mainly carried my younger daughter in a Moby wrap the first time we took her to Disney (she was about 7 months old at the time). If you don't have a wrap carrier, they're terrific!<br /><br />Both my single strollers were Maclarens, and I absolutely love my Triumph, although it is not suitable for infants. I bought the Combi double on the recommendation of the guy at my local baby equipment store (they've been around forever and he sold me my first Maclaren before my now 7 year old was born) because he said he likes the Combi double better than the Maclaren, although I can't remember why at the moment.Dawnhttp://www.fake.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216032720606615547.post-69800219008680083332011-03-22T11:45:47.998-05:002011-03-22T11:45:47.998-05:00Hi!

My guess would be to wear as long as possible - get a good wrap or carrier (ergo/beco), but goodluck!! Love to know what you choose.

Both seats recline, so I put my baby in the front seat with it reclined, and my older child in the back. That worked great. (I also had a front carrier for the baby if he wanted to sleep, but my older child was already asleep in the back. It worked great. It is sometimes a struggle to get it into small places or up steep ramps, but over all I'm glad I had it. <br />I used it a second time about a year ago, and my children were 3 and 10mo. They were both able to see very well. We went in May, so it was much hotter, but both seats have awnings, so that wasn't a problem. We had three adults with us, and took turns pushing it. It did get heavy to push both times... <br />I definitely recommend taking a double of any kind if you have small children who wont want to walk all day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216032720606615547.post-87165932142819832432011-03-21T10:14:57.767-05:002011-03-21T10:14:57.767-05:00We have the Maclaren Twin Triumph and LOVE it!

It works really well at the parks and in "real life", but I wouldn't recommend it for running/jogging.

The seats also hold up to 45 lbs each which is good for WDW, when you need a stroller later than the rest of the world. I'll get with you on dates this week. We have some moving stuff going on in the next couple of weeks. It's crazy. I'll explain later.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03641220881140363689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216032720606615547.post-52193376173155100592011-03-21T07:59:30.912-05:002011-03-21T07:59:30.912-05:00My friend with twins was a big fan of the Combi do...My friend with twins was a big fan of the Combi double. When she passed it on to another friend (also with twins) that I helped last summer I can vouch that it rocks. Let's start talking a weekend as Baby arrival is closing in.

We just bought her 4th double stroller yesterday (for an excursion to the parks & hopefully for use in some 5Ks). She also has three single strollers. Her stroller experiences could be a blog itself. I will sit down with her and come up with some suggestions for you. How old is your Tink?jmouse71http://www.twitter.comnoreply@blogger.com
