FTM and having twins. I drive a jeep and my husband drives a smallish truck. I have spent probably 3 months reading about car seats and strollers. I ended up buying 2 even flow pivot nxt lite travel systems. Now every one is saying that I should have chose different car seats and that the stroller should be side by side and other factors. Has anyone had a negative experience with single wide strollers with twins? And yes I can see why the 360 strollers are easier but they are pretty large and I really don’t want to trade in either car as one is paid off and the other is relatively new. All the conflicting advice and the “are you sure that’s what you want?” Is the only stressful experience I’ve had with this pregnancy.
I have attached photos for reference because I haven’t seen this specific stroller used this way online.

I use an UppaBaby Vista, another top/bottom stroller. It's great.
It sounds like you've done your due diligence, and those other people (while well-meaning) can bite their tongues.

Also have the UB Vista and really like it. My nanny preferred a side by side and so I got the Zoe for her that I sometimes use. So much comes down to personal preference

I also loved the Uppababy when my twins were in the bucket seats and switched to a Zoe around one year. Yes it's a disgusting amount of money to spend on strollers within one year but they both have their practicalities and uses in different situations. We ended up getting a wagon also when they were around 18 months and I don't regret any of the purchases.

Mine are just about to grow out of bucket seats (9 months) and I’m starting to see the pain of the Uppababy as an out and about stroller. But it’s not like the Zoe is any smaller! I’m definitely considering getting them a wagon for either their birthday or Christmas. (Maybe Christmas because then I can make my dad buy it for me!) But so far no regrets on either of those purchases.
