I am searching for a good double stroller. I have seen some interesting ones, like E3 Buggy by Ted and Phil and Valco Runabout. Both have a toddler seat attachment and run slightly under $500 as a whole. Both are 3-wheelers. I have only seen them online and have not inspected how they ride and fold.

I have also seen a side-by-side Macleren, Combi and Peg Perego Aria. Combi and Aria are super light and easy to fold but look “regular.� They run about $100 cheaper then the 3-wheelers.

Have you had experiences with either of those brands, and, if yes, which one would you recommend and why?

Here is how I am going to use the strollers:
1. For walks to the park
2. For drives from one store to another
3. For short walks from the car to someone’s house ï?Å*

When I had a single stroller (1st one was Peg Perego) it was perfect for a newborn since it had a reversible handle and it laid flat and accepted a carseat. All the double strollers I have seen (and liked) seem to not have any of these features. Am I wrong? I know tendem strollers to tale carseats – but I really don’t like the bus look!
