Twins? I don't know much about that, but I have two kids, back to back. When we had our first little one, we were of course, the over joyed, over prepared parents!
EVERYTHING was planned down to the tiniest details! Then, around two months into the endless, sleepless nights of Parent hood, we discovered ANOTHER little bun in the oven. We of course, were overjoyed.

However, we as excited as we were, we quickly realized, our cute little plan of every last expensive baby item pulling double duty as a hand me down' to the children to come was now obsolete.

Price tags dangled before our eyes. Double diapers. Two beds. Two high chairs, and oh yeah, what about our much beloved stroller?

There are side by side strollers, front to back strollers, sit and stands, joggers, two single strollers - the options were exhausting! There was pricing to consider, and size. What could we fit in the back of our small trunk for longer road trips? What if, the one behind pulled the other one's hair? Would the sun shade cover the front of the stroller too?

Finally, our salvation came! With a little inspiration, we turned to the internet. Surely there would be SOMETHING out there comparing strollers! Jumping on our trusty search engine, we typed in, compare strollers.' A wealth of information was magically at our fingertips. Pricing, pictures, it was all there!

We realized while there might not be a perfect stroller' that boasted every single imaginable trinket, there were viable, affordable options available. When we found a type that would work for what we wanted, we saved big dollars by finding a baby consignment shop. Not only did we get the stroller we wanted (they would have found one for us, if they didn't have one in) for cheap, we got to trade our stroller in for some money off!

Twins or busy, stroller shopping doesn't have to be a headache (you'll have plenty of those in days to come!), with a little research, you'll learn what's best the best addition to you and your family!
