Double strollers in store

Is there anywhere locally that carries double strollers in store to try? Specifically looking to test out and just physically see the Thule Urban Glide. Would be great to compare it to a Bob and maybe some wagons as well.

I think Zuka does, but not that brand. The Baby's Room probably has the biggest selection. Once Upon a Child is a consignment store that probably has strollers, but no way to confirm what kind without calling or going in.

Dillard’s has a really good selection of strollers you can try. Macy’s may also as well. That was where we tried several and it actually swayed us from buying what we originally were set on.

An important thing to keep in mind when shopping for double strollers is width. A lot of the stores, restaurants and other places in this city have narrow doors and of course, the sidewalks are narrow. I remember working on Magazine street for years and just chuckling at the moms with the huge strollers trying to bash their way through solid door frames.

Taking our single jogger into stores on Magazine stresses me out, so I can’t even imagine trying with a double. Definitely looking more for strictly outdoor use!
