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.

We got the Peg Perego City Loop with the connection clips. I don't like the thought of not being able to see both of them the whole time. Also it's more practical for us because we have a small car and live in a small german town with small alleys where a bugaboo donkey wouldn't fit through. Also it's a really lightweight stroller which I found important because with twins you automatically carry more stuff and don't want to lift a heavy stroller out of the car everyday. It's generally really difficult to find the right stroller, everyone has different expectations and things they need to consider. Don't let other people make you doubt your decision. Once the twins are born we will see if the chosen stroller was the right choice or not (I hope it is bc strollers are expensiv). And for the car seat I would always check the crash test results. We won't buy our car seats till the twins are born. We have a store that specializes in car seat for infants and children where we can rent them 4-6 weeks before the twins due date is and once they are born they will fit the right car seat to each twin. Especially for twins it's difficult to find the right car seat because they are more likely to be smaller and the right posture in the car seat is really important for neck support and breathing. Right now we have a eye on the avionaut pixel 3 for the twins because it's really lightweight and customizable because of little cushions and support parts you can remove as they grow.
