Another option is a baby jogger, that is perfect for parents who want to take their children on a run. What stroller is the best for you?

Easy to Fold

The best double strollers fold up easily, whether you are trying to fit them in your car or through a narrow doorway. The majority of models come with a lever that lets you to fold the base down and flip the seat back. Some models come with an upper handle that can be used to lift the stroller up and carry it around, while others come with an integrated kickstand to keep the stroller upright when folded.

A double stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats as well as an additional riding board is a great option if you have twins or plan to have more than one child in the future. The Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go is a popular option. It can be used with all brands of infant seats and features stadium seating for both children to enjoy the sights. The model does not "snap in" the car seats. Instead you use a strap net to secure them. The rim of the seat rests against the frame.

Look into strollers with the rear and front wheels that lock to facilitate better control on terrain that is uneven. A three-position handle with padding provides comfort and control, while the parent tray has two cup holders and an enclosed storage compartment. Some models have bigger baskets which can hold more gear.

A jogging-stroller is a good option for those who love to go on outdoor adventures. However it can be a challenge to lift and carry without a handle. Some jogging strollers have a hook for attaching an infant car seat to give parents eight months of walking time. However, this could be risky for infants under six months and should be discussed with your pediatrician before making the decision to use. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide Hauck Duett 2 Double Pushchair - Black Reversible Compact Double are light and feature convenient one-hand, pushchairsandprams standing folds. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, that can accommodate two toddler seats or one child in the primary seating position is a great option for outdoor activities.

Sturdy

A double stroller can be a valuable tool for families who are on the move. It must be sturdy enough to handle different surfaces, such as the suburban sidewalks and parks trails. It should also be a comfortable fit for toddlers and infants who may want to play and sit up. Ideally it should be able to accommodate various seating arrangements for children at different stages of development. It should also fit neatly into the trunk of your vehicle.

The footrests and legs that are adjustable keep children comfortable. Its generous UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows and adjustable leg rests offer plenty of sun protection for both seats. Children can take a ride in either seat or stand on the optional baby bouncer board. The buckles that do not require rethreading were among the most simple to use in our tests, making it easy to get into and out.

This double stroller is compact and lightweight despite being a two-person stroller. It has plenty of storage space, including a large cargo net underneath the seats as well as a big bag on top. The padding on the handlebars is popular with parents, but the seat backs do not fully fold into the flat position.

Another lightweight, barebones tandem stroller is this model from Kolcraft which weighs less than 23 pounds and can carry children up to 40 lbs per seat (80 lbs total).

The seats have a no-rethread safety harness that is simple and quick to secure. They also have ample storage space under the seat, without causing disturbance to passengers.

Convenient Storage

The amount of storage that a stroller has is crucial especially when you're carrying around two kids and their toys. Some of our favorites, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, offer plenty of storage space, including a huge basket that can hold the kids' snacks as well as adult items. The UPPAbaby's one hand folding is simple and won't burden your back.

Other models, like the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller have less space, but they offer good flexibility at a low cost. This model is compatible with 23 different infant car seats and cradles every seat. It's a major advantage over other twin frames which simply put the car in the frame. They're not designed to last for as long.

Many parents of twins opt for a tandem model that is able to handle both infant car seats at the same time However, these strollers typically cost more than single strollers, and have a shorter lifespan as kids get older. For a less expensive option that will still work when your twins get bigger choose a stroller that can transport both car seats and has two canopy options as well as a handy tray for parents with cup holders.

It's important that your stroller is able to take the weight and the movement your children will be carrying However, you'll also want them to be seated comfortably. Our test participants looked for padding, pushchairsandprams an easy shoulder height strap adjustment and buckles that do not require two hands to operate. Certain models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Evenflo Pivot Xpand have reclined seats that allow children to relax in a comfy position. Other models, such as the Joovy Cabose Ultralight Graphite and Graco Duet have seats with only a few reclining options.

Another feature to consider is the number and position of sunshades. Some models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 or Evenflo Pivot have dual canopies that cover both seats. Others, like the Joovy Caboose or Graco Duet have a single canopy that has an opening for the rear passenger. This can be helpful if your kids are more likely to fall asleep in the same spot, but it's worth remembering that they will only have only a small amount of coverage when the window is opened.

Comfortable

The most important aspect of the stroller you should consider is its ease of use. Find a seat that is spacious enough for both children and also has recline positions. The canopy should be big enough to provide some shade and there should be a parent tray with two cup holders. Other features that are useful include the foot brake, locking front wheels and an organizer for parents that can hold diaper bags and snacks.

The most effective double car seat strollers also include safety features to make your child feel safe. Select a stroller that comes with a 5-point safety harness which holds your child's shoulders and hips - the most rigid parts on their body. This shifts the force of an accident away from the abdomen and into the seat, making this kind of restraint much safer than a lap belt.

You should also consider how the stroller will fit into your home. It is important to ensure that the stroller is able to fit into your trunk or closet before you purchase it. You should also take measurements of the width of all doors which you'll be required to pass through with the stroller opened. Standard doorways are between 30 and 36 inches wide, however some are a bit narrower.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly alternative for your budget, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers flexible seating that can be used with two infant car seats and two toddler seats that can face either forward or backward. This model is similar to some higher-end double car seat strollers however, it's much more affordable for families with growing children. The one-hand fold and front foot brake make it easy to move, and the padded 3-position handle is suitable for mom or dad. Under the large cargo basket is a convenient access compartment in the rear for larger items. The swivels in the rear and front come with suspensions to ensure smooth riding in all conditions. The no-rethread belt makes it easy to fasten your child's seatbelts. It can be washed in the washing machine, and is easy to clean it off.
