 If you're planning to stay in the city, I might
 recommend a tandem over a double-wide. I know the
 doubles are supposed to fit anywhere a wheelchair can
 fit, but unfortunately I've found SF is a particularly
 tough city when it comes to accessibility. Because of
 the old, pre-ADA buildings and doorways, narrow
 sidewalks, and crowded spaces, you'll find you may be
 limited to where you can take the wider strollers.The
 tandem ride of choice among lots of parents here is the
 Baby Jogger CitySelect. It folds down compactly, and
 the two seats are really flexible, allowing for
 carseats, regular seats, and bassinets (which I found
 were wonderful for the first few months for both walks
 and as travel beds). The best part about its popularity
 on here is that you can often pick up parts and
 accessories from other parents for a fraction of the
 cost if new.You may have your own reasons for getting a
 wide stroller, but after pushing my babes around all
 sorts of places, I've encountered so many situations
 where I would have been stuck in a double-wide (the
 most surprising of which was the Pottery Barn Kids in
 Palo Alto!). Good luck with whatever you decide!

 Hi.Babyworld in San Bruno or Oakland will let you try
 them out and they sometimes have the double ones
 around. :). We LOVE our citimini but we didn't get it
 till they were 6 months old. I could be wrong but the
 carseats adapters don't fit in it side by side with
 two. We just used he snap and go which was easy and
 cheap. A friend had a cooler more expensive one but I
 don't know the name- I ca ask her if you haven gotten a
 bajillion emails yet. :)ErinSent from my iPhone

 lizjohannesen, I was looking at Baby Jogger CitySelect
 and even asked a mom on the street to let me try it
 with her girls in it! It has an additional plus, I
 think, by offering a possibility to be easily converted
 into single stroller when needed (twins moms not always
 take both babies everywhere, do they?) I haven't seen
 any parts for it nor the stroller itself on Craigslist,
 though... Do you know anyone who is selling
 theirs?erinkcox, happy to get a bajillion emails :) I
 think Bugaboo is very cool, but over $1,500... That's
 too much.

 The SF Botanical Gardens are a great escape, and are
 FREE with your SF resident ID. Our little ones loved
 the redwood forest (DS is obsessed with trees), and the
 Cal Academy is just a short stroll away. Also, the SF
 Zoo membership is totally worth it, with great walks,
 and a fabulous new playground area, including those
 bucket swings that our babies started loving at around
 9 months. With the annual pass, you never worry about
 blowing the $ if they start to melt down after only 30
 minutes. Grab a seat on the back lawn at the Park
 Chalet afterward for the ultimate baby-friendly
 restaurant experience (no reservations needed), and
 explore the paved paths behind the restaurant to see
 either of the windmills.For longer road trips, I would
 drive to the Lafayette Reservoir just on the other side
 of the Caldecott Tunnel for a terrific 3-mile paved
 loop trail around the lake. For us it was exactly one
 "nap interval" away, so we would arrive refreshed for a
 fun adventure. Another great shopping adventure that
 is a nap away for us is the Corte Madera Town Center. A
 beautiful drive for mom and dad, and a nice outdoor
 mall with good, kid-friendly restaurants, and Nordstrom
 has the best changing facilities in the state (separate
 mother's room with couches, multiple changing tables,
 and cleanup sinks).On that side of the GG Bridge, the
 whole Cavallo Point area is great, with free parking,
 the Bay Area Discovery Museum, kid-friendly service on
 the porch restaurant at the hotel, and an awesome,
 stroller-friendly paved hike up the hill, right under
 the bridge to the observation area.

 Is there any advantage of using cord blood vs using a
 transplant from identical twin?
