I had a Graco double stroller that was very easy to push/pull with one hand. I would push the stoller (with them in the car sears) and pull the cart behind me. The staff at the local grocery store still remembers me shopping every week (sometimes more) with my train of stroller and cart. The fun part was shopping at the local wholesale store!!! I eventually found it easier to push the stroller and pull the U-Boat (the flat bed carts). I think I used the snap and go once or twice to go grocery shopping and I found it is harder to turn with one hand than a full size stroller. Im sure you will find you nitch in shopping with the girls.

I do it sometimes when I forget something in the delivery, and it is just no good. I wear one baby in a carrier and push the other in a single snap-n-go, and it's still a headache.robinhttp://polycysticinside.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1574605296259081338.post-77473852261778155562013-02-23T13:03:13.838-08:002013-02-23T13:03:13.838-08:00*and a toddler too, btw, lol!*and a toddler too, btw, lol!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350513793411889740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1574605296259081338.post-79818722143990463762013-02-23T13:02:36.749-08:002013-02-23T13:02:36.749-08:00I have the kolcraft contours tandem and it has TON...I have the kolcraft contours tandem and it has TONS of storage space AND I use the mommy hook with reusable bags on there (yes, even while shopping to put items in) and I can fit everything there and back in there once I have paid and it is all bagged up...for a "real" shopping trip, you know over $150...so not just a quick trip either! It is a great stroller. Right now I am using the car seats with the adapter bars but then I can put the seats on when they get bigger. P.S. where did you go shopping? HA! I wonder if it is the same store I go to sometimes, they are always so impressed with my twin shopping skills!

Of course I wouldn't be able to use my cane when I did that but you do what you have to do. Also, backing into doors and pushing it open with your butt keeps the door open to get the stroller through. We have a Baby Jogger City Mini now, absolutely no storage in that one either. Eventually they get big enough to have them both in a double cart (if you are lucky) or one in the cart and wear the other one (i did this for a long time). I have a friend with triplets and I'm amazed with how she figures stuff out.<br />Carolynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1574605296259081338.post-62917786425405843572013-02-23T05:05:13.772-08:002013-02-23T05:05:13.772-08:00We ditched our first double stroller and bought a ...We ditched our first double stroller and bought a Contour. (at least I think that's what it was called). It is a big beast, but totally worth the extra effort it takes to haul it out of the car. The best thing was that you could face the seats in different ways, or choose to have only one. And the basket underneath was HUGE. We could fit a full box of diapers and two gallons of milk and still have room for more groceries with that thing. It is a very long stroller, but I learned the back up into the door and pull the stroller through technique.

My back hurts by the time I am done, but there aren't a lot of option. Because mine were preemies and we're still in flu and RSV season, I time my trips to be when they are sleeping, so that I can leave them covered and protected from the "public germs."
