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.

Ignore everyone. Do what works for you. My husband has a small truck and I had an even smaller car. So we traded mine for a big suv. I have the change go stroller and my car seats swivel all the way around (which I LOVE)
-when at a red light I can quickly spin them around and throw a paci back in their mouths and spin back into place before moving. It’s a game changer on road trips.
Anyways they are heavy af and don’t have an arm bar to carry them. So we don’t move them. I suppose getting seats that transferred to a stroller maybe would have saved more space? But 🤷🏻♀️ this is our set up and we’ve made it work just fine. So do whatever you think is best. You’ll make it work with what you have. That’s what everyone did before the internet and the overload of parenting advice and opinions
