It was very useful to me!!! I cannot imagine going out for a walk or errands without my double stroller. Mine is tendom and yes, it is longer than normal strollers, but not that much. Mine converts to a sit and stand, too so my older girl sits in the back facing toward me these days. I reserched quite a lot before I purchased my double stroller. And what do I recommend? Tendam strollers that convert sit and stand ones.
