If not for them, I would have had a hard time on my way here in Uncle Sam. They were the savior for my handcarry luggage and, it does not complain.
It save our energy (and our back) when we go malling or in places like Disney. A plus since we can just hang our other things on this tiny but mighty seat.
Here are some of the strollers I like.
The Valco Baby Runabout TriMode Twin has an attached seat that allows it to hold three kids at once! ($660 plus $100 for toddler seat). (I would want this since my son, age 6, still wants to sit in the stroller when his brother is not).
BOB's Revolution comes in fun, modern colors; FYI: it's for running errands, not jogging. ($360; $50 for car-seat adapter)
For comfort, the seat on the Silver Cross Pop reclines with no fuss and an extra-long footrest pops up. ($200). (I like this one better because of the extra-long footrest)
A carry handle on Graco's Ipo makes it an easily totable umbrella stroller -- but with a cushier seat. ($80 to $90)
The Combi Spoleto weighs next to nothing and folds up tight to keep life simple; kids like the snack tray. ($200). (I simply like this)
A "room to walk" rear center wheel and two cupholders make the Baby Planet Unity Sport a pleasure to push. ($290). (I don't have twins, but the boys can really sit here).
Maxi-Cosi Perle
You can fold, unfold, and push this with one hand, and it gets kudos for comfort.
A Plus: Easy to throw in the car (In blue perhaps?)

Combi Twin Sport EX Stroller ($230)
If being able to easily fold and store your stroller is a priority, that's Combi's specialty. And this can hold the Combi Shuttle car seat. It doesn't have much storage, but the fact that you can carry the folded stroller over your shoulder with the strap makes it ideal for travel.
A Plus: Lightweight double

Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System ($270)
Graco has a best-selling travel system largely because of its popular car seat, the Snugride 32. But the company's made the stroller appealing as well, with new colors (here, "aubergine"), a huge basket, and a handy snack tray.
A Plus: 2-for-1 bargain

Baby Jogger Summit 360 ($400)
Not everyone who buys a jogger wants to run with it. This is a running stroller that's also a great, not-too-heavy everyday stroller. "It's got the easiest fold, and it's great for keeping in the trunk of the car in case you get a chance to sneak in a run," says mom Barbara McDonough.
A Plus: All-wheel suspension
