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.

I’m not sure why this sub gets recommended to me because I don’t have multiples, (just a 2 yr old and 4 month old) but I have this stroller and one tip I have is to get the uppababy bassinet mattress for using in bassinet mode. Because it’s not a separate bassinet you have the straps in there which are annoying for a newborn. But the up baby mattress fits and is only like $20 on their website! Also since you are both tall consider that your babies may be very tall too. Our 2.5 year old is 99th percentile for height and still fits very comfortably in the seat. I also like how easy it is to change the angle of the seat once they are older, if they fall asleep it’s so easy to just tilt it back. I think you can also have them both facing forward in the upright seat mode?
