Need stroller that can go in and out of car easily. Light folds small. Has ability to click a carseat in for the newborn baby so it's easy to transfer baby from car to stroller but also has a toddler seat for bigger baby.
Bonus if it also has a bassinet option instead of carseat if I do want to take that rare walk.
Money not an issue ...someone offered to buy. They want to get a bugaboo donkey for me..
Just wondering if its practical for car style living where I use the stroller to go places in car.

No. The donkey is not practical for cars, it is great for walking. My sister-in-law, who has twins got two Doonas and a contraption to connect them outside of the car.

The mockingbird also takes two car seats and can do a basinet. I dont know if it can do 2 bassinets

There is no direct equivalent unfortunately!! Your best bet is a double that's good for cars and can accommodate a car seat. I don't personally know if one since I don't have a car. 2 doonas clipped together is an option but quite clunky compared to a real stroller, I have done it before but it's hard to do by yourself...

Not twins..2 babies.. older one almost 1 and newborn. So the older baby I can transfer from carseat to stroller seat he doesn't need to have a car seat that clicks in. He's old enough to sit in a regular seat and doesn't usually fall asleep in car. But newborn would need to be able to transfer easily car seat clicked into stroller and stroller that's easy to lift in ans out of car.

How do people get around with 2 babies in a city that's just car to house and car to store etc ?

I have a donkey and it's a great walking stroller but super annoying in and out of the car. I would get something light like a double city mini with a car seat adapter if you really want baby to stay in the car seat.

you need a double stroller that has a car seat adaptor. Which car seat do you have?

The doona is not made to go onto another stroller. it has its own wheels and works on its own. you are better off getting a graco or similar car seat and a stroller that has an adaptor

I had the mountain buggy duet. You can get car seat adapters for it.

Looking for lightest double stroller that folds small. But also can have a carseat click into it.

Everyone with twins seems to have 2 doonas now. If you have irish twins, not sure what the best option would be.

I had 2 doonas for a while but I never went anywhere alone until the older one got a bit older TMI

They are heavier than other ones mentioned here, but a few pounds lighter than the donkey. They don't fold very compact but they have an excellent push and are nice and narrow for navigating aisles etc.

Do you have a store near you where you can check out a few options? Doubles can vary widely in how easy they are to fold, lift, push etc. Personally I prefer one that's a little heavier but has a better push, but it really depends on your priorities.
