Hi all - I'm new to this forum but have so appreciated reading through many of the posts. We are expecting #2 in August; #1 will be 18 months old and is definitely a happy stroller kid (which is great for my back!).
So we are looking at double strollers. Have loved our Bob Revolution and Peg Si for our single but of course want a double that will be multi-functional. After much research I am leaning heavily toward the Baby Jogger City Mini Double. It seems well liked on this site and others, and I've checked it out in stores and think it's probably the best option (heavily considered the City Select but just think it's going to feel heavy and more challenging to maneuver than I'd like).
But here is my question - for those who have used the BJCMD with a carseat adapter, how uncomfortable is the setup for your older child? We were told by a salesperson that it really encroaches over the other seat (at least a few inches). But none of the floor models I've seen had an adapter set up for us to check out, nor can I find an image online. This is probably the one sticking point, as I want the flexibility to put the new babe in the stroller with a carseat from time to time, so this will be important for probably the first six months of use.
Also curious, because I've heard conflicting reports - can you use the carseat with babe in the stroller alone, or must the older child also be in their seat to prevent the stroller from toppling?
Thanks in advance.
