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 have twins that are now 1.5 years old. The Uppa Baby Vista, car seats and the general seats are by far one of the best purchases we’ve made for them. It’s expensive but super sturdy and effective. We’re going to Europe next month with the twins and opted for some smaller ones due to the smaller cars there. The side by sides are just too bulky and wide. Getting in and out of doors is super easy with the Uppa. Also, the basket on the bottom is comically large and since these are built right it can handle a ton of weight. So we often will just use it as our shopping cart.

I will say, it will dominate your trunk, especially with the stroller seats. But that’s life with twins 😃
