Here’s the truth about tandem double strollers: Not all of the conifgurations work for a baby and older child on a tandem stroller, and once you add a second seat to a tandem stroller, it does get harder to maneuver and harder to break-down/store. Kids also grow out of tandem strollers faster, so by about 4 years old, a lot of kids have grown out of many tandem strollers out there. ARGH. Unfortunately at this stage there are no capsules approved for use on the city mini GT2 Double stroller in Australia. We know this is a feature parents would love to see so we have continued to safety test the city mini GT2 Double with Australian model capsules. However currently there are no capsules or adapters available for the city mini GT2 Double in Australia. Is the city mini GT2 Double suitable for newborns? Both strollers are compatible with car seats, so you can turn them into travel systems. Moreover, they can be converted into a double stroller in case you have a growing family. The City Mini’s headroom can be stretched up to 23 inches while the Mini GT’s goes up to 26 inches. This helps provide more space for your kid to make them as comfortable as they can be.

It also has a single-wheel design to make it more maneuverable through crowds and tighter spaces. Safety The City Mini GT has a few features not available on the standard City Mini including all-terrain wheels, a hand-operated parking brake, and an adjustable handlebar. We love all of those features, and I think those things make the GT upgrade totally worth it!

Side Note: if anyone has the secret sauce for getting all of their kids to smile in unison for photos, that’d be great! Until then, please enjoy Scarlett hamming it up for the camera (for ONCE!), while Emmeline shows her obvious displeasure at being made to pose in the sunshine.

By the way, if you’re looking for a single stroller travel system, the Baby Jogger City Mini GT Travel System Stroller is an amazing option. The weight: this stroller is heavy, and getting it in and out of trunks, etc. can sometimes be a bear (though in truth, it’s no heavier than most of it’s competitors.)

Deciding on the Right Double Stroller for Your Growing Family

When we first found out we were pregnant with baby number two, I immediately thought about the possibility of a dedicated double stroller. And then I researched like a madwoman. Truth is, we have and love the UPPAbaby Vista– which can convert into a double stroller – and it was one of the main selling points when we settled on that stroller. I still love and adore (and sometimes worship) our UPPAbaby Vista as both a single and double stroller, and you can read my full review here; but, I couldn’t help but wonder how much a side-by-side double stroller might help things.
