don't be put off by the name brand but Baby Jogger does a twin side by side pram, you can get them cheaper if you buy them from a place like My strollers in the US they have other brands on that website too. Shipping is exxy but it might still work out much cheaper. My pram was saved close to $300.
McLaren side by side stroller has been great for us. Lightweight, and able to be used from birth. Mainly used for when getting about with car for appointments and going to shops. Fits very well through most doorways.
Have been given a big heavy Emmaljunga which is great for going for walks as it's like a big bed. McLaren not as comfy, and more suited as a means of getting two little ones from A to B. Emmaljunga too heavy and too wide for taking in car for appointments and shopping.
Used from birth with a 2 year old and a newborn. Seat goes almost completely flat, good enough IMO. Folds down umbrella style, i am weak and can lift this in to the boot - from memory its about 8kg. My MIL is 5 foot and tiny and she can lift it too. That was the main selling point for me.
Fits through ALL standard doors, BUT need to go through the disabled aisle at SOME checkouts at supermarkets, i've found some are not as wide as others, it varies from store to store, even same brand stores have different sized aisles. But its not an issue because i don't do a big shop with the stroller so use express aisle.
For its size has decent size under mesh baskets, good functional sun hoods with plastic window optional. Very easy to clean. I've been using it for almost 2 years now and still in excellent condition. I'll probably get a good return selling it second hand. From memory was about $200. Well worth it.
My boys love sitting next to each other and its easy to steer. I've even done it one handed many times, just hold the middle arm! It's a tad heavy going up hills now that i have an almost 2 year old and almost 4 year old but i don't do that often. I really shouldn't have an almost 4 year old in it but its so great for convenience to keep them both "contained" for a quick shop. Because if my almost 4 year old gets to walk, the almost 2 year old wants to aswell and thats chaotic!
