We went for the Baby Jogger City Select. Moo will be over 2 once this baby arrives but he still needs a pram (or is that I still need him in a pram ) especially on big days out. I choose it because the handle extends which is awesome for my tall hubby, the 2nd seat goes at the front instead of under the main seat ITMS, it doesn't seem as wide as other prams we looked at, many seat configurations, great storage, easy fold, steers really well, Moo loved it & looked really comfy in it...downside is the price, think it was about $900 but then we bought a capsule & the extra seat.
i went the mountain buggy double and loved it. hard wearing and the kids get to sit side by side (which they loved, cos they could interact) and still fits through a standard doorway.
I went through a few different prams and tried all the different set ups when DD2 was born and DD1 was 12 months - side by side, one in front of the other, P&Ts. I found that one in front of the other was really hard to push with any real weight at the front. That was a Babylove. I hated the P&T - the baby in the "back" seat gets a lovely view of people's ankles and that's about it. I found going down any sort of hill meant I was constantly kicking the seat. DD2 hated it. Had a side by side stroller - Steelcraft. It was ok at the very beginning with serious lightweights, but after the girls got a bit bigger the little wheels made it difficult to manouevre.
What I was happiest with was a big, heavy Valco side by side that I never ever put in the car, but used for walking. For the shops I had a city mini double which was briliant to manouevre and not too wide. Nice comfy seats and both the kids seemed happy. The Valco was I think about $750 and the city mini about $500.
Baby Jogger City Mini Double! - we have one its awesome! fits through standard doorways and I have a Phil and Ted but much before this one! Also consider Mountain Buggy Duet which is coming out soon which is skinnier than the Baby Jogger City Mini Double and also I think same width as the Strider Plus which is for 2 kids.
ETA they have the new Mountain buggy on sale at Baby Village in Aust for $749 and its only 63cm in width. My BabyJogger Double is 76cm wide
Only thing I found annoying was when DS2 was a newborn it was hard to get him in and out unless in coccoon, but in coccon it was easy and not a problem.
I am SO IN LOVE with my Steelcraft Strider plus, I have the 4 wheeler and its the best pram I have ever used! Best bit being my DD who is 2.5 and my DS who is 4 months can go in either part.. so easy! Check it out on youtube - I look at all of the double prams and thats the one I liked best.
Baby city jogger city select - it's awesome! Two seats that can fit any way or leave one off & have a single pram, you can put a car capsule seat in for the newbie, MASSIVE basket underneath, both kids can see as it's 'tiered' seating when facing forwards,, our little one can be facing backwards lying down sleeping while the 2 year old can be facing forwards looking out at the world.....love, love, love it!
About $900 so pretty pricey but for us, so worth it. Especially as you can take off one seat so will last when the 2 year old decided he doesn't want to be in the pram any more.
