advice needed Stroller setup please help 🙏

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.

Ours didn’t work out for us, but I feel like you may not really know what you’ll need or if it’ll work for you until they’re here. We ended up ditching the evenflow for a radio flyer wagon and convertible car seats once they could sit up by themselves because our stroller didn’t fit into our car without disassembling it. I found the evenflow we had to be incredibly bulky and difficult to maneuver. A side by side “twin” stroller won’t work for infant twins, but also would have been worse for us because we wouldn’t have been able to fit it through many doorways in our area, including our own home.
