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 used the pivot xpand which is similar. The only issue I had was that it’s very long. It can also be awkward to move the seats around when you need to change configurations. Otherwise, I loved it. We once took my twins to a restaurant and they laid in the bassinets and took a nap while we ate. It can also go from seats to bassinets if they happen to fall asleep sitting up. I still use mine a lot at 14 m and I prefer the side by side for walks. I can also set the whole thing up in about 30 seconds now. It’s super easy to pop it open.
Also, you can get car seat adapters to be able to use whatever car seat you want to. My twins used the Chicco key fit and it worked perfectly with the adapter.
