I'm your girl, J.. I have twins and another on the way. I have two double strollers-a side-by-side jeep umbrella and a front to back Graco. I absolutely love the jeep and it was only $80 at Babies R Us. It's lightweight and easy to steer. Downside - can't fit easily through alot of doors, no storage space and not great in the winter. Perfect for days at the park, the zoo and daily running unless you want a workout lifting the tandom. We use a bookbag as a diaper bag so we either hook it over the handles or on my husband's back. The tandom is great but heavy and awkward to get in and out of the car. Once it's open, there's a good amount of storage, good sun shading, and it's nice at the mall to get in and out of stores easily. I paid $180 on sale at Babies R Us. My advice with summer coming - start with a side by side umbrella and if you need to make adjustments after summer do so. Hope this helped!
