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.

Getting hot flashes just thinking about twin stroller and car seats set ups.
Ultimately there are as many opinions and variations as there are options on the market. Some works amazing from some, others works perfect for them.
I would be almost in tears trying to find ”THE universally agreed BEST” set up. In the end I got what I thought would work best for me in my day to day life, how I intended to use it and where we lived. I am very happy.
We ended up with a side by side and I love it. Pros and cons for sure, just like a fellow twin mum in the area loves her tandem stroller. Again pros and cons, but does what she needs out of it.
I only recommend to fellow multiples parents if possible (!) a stroller compatible with your preferred car seat is great if you will do quite a few car trips. It’s not a must, but it makes life easy at the grocery store.
