[blparent] double strollers?

[Leanne Merren]

I've had both a tandum double and a side by side, and I much prefer the side 
by side.  It is too hard to go around corners with a tandum, plus the other 
child seems too far away for my comfort.  I have a double jogger and I like 
it, though it is a bit heavy for long trips.  My husband uses it more than I 
do, but I will use it on short trips like just going walking in my 
neighborhood.  If you're thinking of longer trips, I would probably use a 
stroller for the toddler, and carry the baby in a carrier.
Haven't read all messages yet because I'm behind, but that's my 2 cents.
