wonderful stroller for twins. They just need to add a clip to keep it closed. the rain hood is attached and that is really helpful.

This Stroller is great. After shopping around and trying them out in stores this is the best stroller value for the price. I spoke with a few parents and 11 out of 12 parents recommended a side by side over the front back style and they were right. When you get into this price range cup holders, parent trays, belly bars are all extra. The next best stroller is [$] more without accessories. We also bought the parent tray for us and the belly bar for our 15 month old to pull himself up and look around. He loves it. Our 8 week old falls asleep as soon as we move and I love that he can be reclined while our oldest can sit up. It also has a great divider and deep seats so that our 15 month old can't reach over and bop the baby by accident. This also folds nicely and fits great in our 4 door mid-size sedan trunk where the front back styles just wouldn't fit and were too hard to maneuver as well as set up. I suggest measuring your trunk if you have a small car. This has a small basket but you can put items behind each seat in the City Mini as well.Love the sage green and grey color. Overall great stroller.

With 10 month old twins I needed a double stroller to use for walking outside, going to the mall and food shopping. This stroller is great for the first, and downright inconvenient and dangerous for the latter. First the good: it only took about 15 minutes to pop the wheels on and adjust the 5-point harness to fit the kids, and it was all set to go. Both of my kids looked comfortable the first time out for a trip to the park. Very easy to open and close - though there is no “snap” when closed so it does not “stand” on its own. It steers very well (easy one-handed steering too) and rolls along smoothly up and down sidewalks, and over bumps and rough terrain. First time out was great! The nightmare came when I took the kids out for shopping. First, the underneath basket is large, but can only be accessed from the sides and will only fit small items one-at-a-time -- no stuffing a diaper bag down there it simply will not fit! This was a HUGE and sudden disappointment, but not nearly as bad as the safety hazard that came up soon after. The stroller tipped back and nearly fell over when I began to push the stroller after reclining both seats for the kids to nap. If I had less of a grip on the bar, both kids would have been dropped on their heads! I went from disappointed to full-out MAD. I quickly figured out that I needed to counter-balance the stroller and bought two three-pound weights and placed them one in each of the footrests. Problem solved. Until the next one... When one of my boys woke up, he flipped over, sat up and nearly fell out of the front of the stroller. That was IT. We wrapped things up and headed home. I'm very upset because I did EXTENSIVE research on double strollers, and I really thought I would love the City Mini, but it’s left me with buyer’s remorse in a BIG way.
