Hi Moms! I have an almost 3 yr old with another on the way. I am looking into tandem strollers and have narrowed it down to 2 models, the Mia Moda and the Joovy tandem ultralightweight. Does anybody have any tips, advice on these strollers. No stores have both in stock so i can't take them for a "test drive". Any experiences you'd like to share would be grately appreciated!!
I have a Phil and Teds. They are expensive, but completely worth it.
I have the Joovy Caboose Ultralight and absolutely love it. Can't tell you how often I get stopped; people asking me about it. I do not have any experience with your other choice. I usually try and read reviews both at Babiesrus.com and amazon.com before I buy any product.
I have an 18 month old and watch a 16 month old. At first I used a tandem stroller, but between jamming in the car and then getting out, I was getting aggravated. Now I WEAR my son in my BabyHawk and just bring along an umbrella stroller that lays flat if a nap is needed for one of them. I put the boy I watch in the umbrella stroller. Much easier! That is what I would recommend - looking for a really good umbrella stroller that lays flat and is light and getting a BabyHawk or Ergo.
Cheers!

It's been a few years since I've needed the tandem stroller but I suggest going with the lighter weight if it is proven to be sturdy. I COULD NOT have survived without mine!! The only issue my tandem gave us was that it WAS heavy. Congrats on the new baby! Enjoy.
