I don't have a strider to compare to but I have a MB double. I've never had a double before (was dead against them actually), but it was given to me. It just lives out the back (never put down) and I only use it to walk with. Made my life sooo much easier. Steers well and is light enough. I push a freshie and a 3.5yo as well. DS entertains DD2 (since she's right there with him and all is good. Only prob I find is the sunshade is pittance. I live in the desert so the sunshade is important lol.
