Look no further - This stroller is awesome!!!

I was in desperate need of a double stroller. When I had a newborn and a toddler, I got a Kolcraft Jeep double. It was heavy and bulky and nearly impossible to navigate. I recently purchased a double umbrella side-by-side, thinking it would solve my problems. While I loved the size and maneuverability, it was simply too wide to handle some door sizes and many store aisles in the city we live (forcing us to wait outside while family got to look around - no fun!). So, I began hunting for something better. I debated between the Safety 1st/Eddie Bauer Transit Tandem, the Baby Trend Sit N Stand, and the Joovy Caboose. After inspecting them all, measuring, and going for test drives, here are my results:

Safety 1st/Eddie Bauer Transit Tandem:
Weight - 33.8 lbs. (according to the Walmart website, but it sure didn't feel that high)
WHEELS footprint (not to be confused with manufacturer dimensions) - 33x20
TOTAL folded/collapsed size (including all attachments such as footrests, canopy, etc. since who wants to remove them every time?) - 47 long x 13 wide x 16 high
Overall impression - I really liked this double tandem stroller: compact size, cushy 5 point child straps, big canopy with peek-hole. The only big problem I had was leg/foot room. My 3-1/2 yo daughter and almost 2 yo son (both VERY low on the height percentile, like 5%) already had very little in BOTH positions. Considering they will only get bigger, I would definitely recommend this stroller for smaller children, like 4-24 months. Also, the basket underneath was quite small. Otherwise, excellent navigation and good collapsed size.

Baby Trend Sit N Stand:
Weight - 25.3 lbs.
WHEELS footprint - 40x21
TOTAL folded/collapsed size - 50 long x 21 wide x 14 high
Overall impression - Not bad, and if I hadn't tried the next one, this would have been my choice (by default). Fairly good maneuvering, although the parent cup tray was very cheap, and the entire stroller seemed quite plastic-y.

Joovy Caboose:
Weight - 24 lbs.
WHEELS footprint - 31.5x21.5
TOTAL folded/collapsed size - 46 long x 21.5 wide x 13 high
Overall impression - Excellent! The very compact wheel footprint makes this a dream to handle. It fits in tight squeezes with ease, which was my main concern. The lack of parent cupholder doesn't faze me, since they're easy to add. Plus, there are convenient little mesh storage compartments on the back of the front seat, which I love.

I have steered it primarily with 2 hands, but also with 1 hand easily as well. I've mostly kept to concrete sidewalks and streets with no difficulties. I don't think this stroller would be overly easy to drive for long periods on unfinished surfaces, but since we're not big on offroading, this doesn't bother us. If you want to push it on grass, uneven dirt, rocks, etc. perhaps a jogging stroller is more suited for you.

What makes this stroller so compact is the setup: the younger child goes up front with the 5 point harness, reclinable seat, and adjustable footrest (I'm not using the carseat anymore, but it has an adaptor included); the older child goes in back and can choose whether to sit down with the 3 point seatbelt facing the driver or stand balancing on the safety strap, handlebars, and standing board facing the front. Also, the canopy is just the right size: depending on the direction of the sun, I have consistently been able to angle it so that both seated children have their faces out of direct sunlight.

I have read some negative comments on the sliding seat in back. While I can see how some people wouldn't like this because it's different, in my opinion, it's not like it slides constantly and easily. Frankly, I like it because while my daughter is sitting on it, I can move her to access the somewhat small but acceptable sized basket underneath. It requires a small [but JUST right amount of] effort to move, so that doesn't bother me or my older child either. In fact, my 3 yo daughter LOVES LOVES LOVES (her words) this stroller, so I let her pick which color (she chose orange). This stroller is by far the most compact, affordable double and well worth the slightly higher expense over the BT Sit N Stand. That is, if you want a better constructed, smaller footprint, easier to navigate stroller.
