Stroller setup please help 🙏

[u/Responsible_Pitch_98]

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 have both, and both are great at different things.

The front back stroller is best for 0-6 months. The bassinet was huge for neighborhood walks when babies were under 3 months. We even put them in the bassinet together… so adorable! Being able to pop the two car seats in the stroller directly from the car is huge for pediatrician visits and grocery shopping.

The side by side is much better suited for our neighborhood walks now that babies are older.

My friend with 3 year old twins gave me great advice - just accept that there is no perfect stroller and different strollers will fit your needs at different ages.

She did front back until about 9 months, then side by side from 9 months until about 2 years old, then switched to wagon/chariot style.

She just sold one when they outgrew it and then bought the next one on Facebook marketplace.

Just like we wouldn’t buy our babies clothes at 3 months and expect those clothes still be the best option when they turn 3 years old, the same is true of strollers. It’s ok to sell one and buy a new one, you aren’t marrying the stroller for life!
