Want something less than an all-terrain double stroller but more than a twin umbrella stroller? We’ve got some options for you.
So, you love the great push and ability to use a Valco Trimode Twin, Bob Duallie or Mountain Buggy Urban Double outdoors but want something like a Maclaren Twin Triumph to throw in the back of your vehicle so what do you do? Now there are a few new options of what we consider “hybrid” strollers that are a cross between and all-terrain and an umbrella. Two great options to consider are the Valco Twin Latitude and the Baby Jogger City Mini Double. Today I’m talking about the double versions, but both models come in a single model, Valco Latitude and Baby Jogger City Mini as well.
The Valco Twin Latitude is a gorgeous double stroller. It weighs in at about 29 lbs. and has two independent seats and canopies. It can take a Graco or Peg carseat (adapter purchased separately) on one side (although it is a bit tight and you need to take the canopies off and attach a small canopy on the toddler side). The stroller has a full recline so it is suitable from birth. The storage basket is very generous. It has an adjustable telescopic handlebar great for taller parents and comes fully loaded with a raincover, bumper bar and coordinating boot that covers both seats. The quality is true to Valco style. Not for jogging but can handle more than the mall- the Valco Twin Latitude is a great new option for parents.
Another great option is the Baby Jogger City Mini Double. The Baby Jogger City Mini Double has a 100 lb. total weight limit and a terrific push. It fits through a standard doorway and has that great Baby Jogger “quick fold” that they are famous for. It weighs in at only 23 lbs. and is suitable from birth. We liked this stroller so much that we recently added it to our store because we heard such great things about it from our parents. Now we love it, too!
Both strollers have 8″ wheels that allow them to handle outdoor walking better than a traditional umbrella/lightweight twin stroller. So, if you need a bit more than a lightweight, but don’t have the space for an all-terrain, these two strollers might be a great fit for your family.
