A double stroller with two car seats is essential for twins and young children. One alternative is the Joovy TwinRoo+, allows infant car seats to be positioned in either direction and has a sit-and-stand option for older kids.

Another alternative is a baby jogger which is ideal for parents who want to take their kids for a run. What stroller is the best for you?

Easy to Fold

The best double strollers fold effortlessly, whether you are trying to squeeze them into your car or in a narrow entrance. Most models have an option to push a lever that flips the seat forward and folds up the base to make it a compact storage. Some models also have a handle on the top of the stroller that enables you to lift and carry the whole thing, while others include a kickstand built into the design which holds the stroller upright until you're ready to take it out again.

A double stroller that can fit two infant car seats and an add-on riding board is a great choice if you have twins or plan to have more than one child in the near future. The Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go is a well-liked option. It is compatible with all brands of infant seats and also has seating for both children to enjoy the sights. This model does not "snap into" the car seats. Instead, you use a strap net to anchor the seats. The rim of the seat rests against the frame.

If you're planning to shop or walk on the sidewalks of a city look into a stroller that has front and rear wheels that lock for better steering over uneven terrain. The parent tray comes with two cup holders, a padded storage area, and a cushioned handle with three positions to provide comfort and control. Some models have a larger basket that can fit more gear.

For those who love the outdoors A jogging stroller might be a better choice than a standard stroller, however, it can be difficult to carry and lift with no handle. Some jogging strollers come with a hook for attaching an infant car seat to give parents eight more months of walking time, however this could be risky for babies less than six months old and should be discussed with your pediatrician before trying. BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 2 Double have lightweight folding systems that can be operated by using one hand. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, that can accommodate two toddler seats or one child in the main seating position, is a great choice for outdoor activities.

Sturdy

When families are constantly on the move, a double stroller is an invaluable tool. It must be sturdy enough to stand up to different surfaces, including parks and sidewalks in suburban areas. It must also be comfortable for both toddlers and infants who might want to explore and sit up. It should accommodate multiple seating arrangements for children of different age groups and fit comfortably in the trunk of your car.

Convenient Storage

It is important to think about the amount of storage that a stroller provides, especially in the case of two children and their gear. 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 be used to store the kids' snacks as well as adult gear. Its simple fold with one hand ensures you don't have to strain your back when you're ready put it away.

Other models, like the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller are smaller in space, but offer decent flexibility for a reasonable price.

Parents of twins often choose a tandem stroller which can accommodate both infant car seats at the same time. However, these strollers are more expensive and will last longer as the children grow. If you're looking for a cost-effective option, but one that will still work as your twins grow older, you should consider a wagon designed to carry two child car seats. It should have dual canopies and an easy-to-use parent tray with cupholders.

It's important that your stroller can handle the weight and movement that your children will be putting on, but you also want them to be seated comfortably. Our testers examined padding, shoulder straps that were simple to adjust and buckles that didn't need more than one hand to operate. Some models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand are equipped with reclining seats that allow children to snooze comfortably while others, like the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite and Graco Duet, have seats with only a couple of recline options.

The number and location of sunshades are important. Certain models, like the UPPAbaby Vista v2 or Evenflo Pivot have dual canopies to cover both seats. Others, like the Joovy Caboose or Graco Duet have only one canopy, which has a window for the rear passenger. This is a great option for parents who have children who tend to fall asleep in the same place but it's important to remember that they'll only have limited coverage when the window is open.

Comfortable

The most important aspect of strollers is how comfortable it is to use. Look for an extremely comfortable, well-padded and sturdy seat that is big enough for both kids and has reclining positions. The canopy should offer enough shade and the parent tray should have two cup holders. Other useful features include a foot brake, locking front wheels and an organizer for parents which can store snacks and diaper bags.

The most effective double car seat strollers also offer safety features that help your children feel secure. Select a stroller with five-point harnesses that hold your child at the hips and shoulders, the most rigid parts of their body. This kind of restraint is more secure than a lap belt as it shifts the force from an accident away and into the seat.

You should also think about how the stroller will fit into your home. It is important to ensure that the stroller can fit in your closet or trunk before you buy it. Also, you should determine the doorways you'll need to pass through when the stroller is open. Standard doorways are between 30 and 36 inches wide, but some are a bit narrower.

If you're looking for a low-cost option this model is a good choice. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers flexible seating that can be used with two infant car seats and two toddler seats that can face forward or backward. It's comparable to some of the higher-end double strollers. But it's more affordable for growing families.

The large cargo basket is a handy back zippered compartment that can be used to access larger items. The front and rear swivel wheels have suspension that ensures smooth riding on various terrains. Additionally, the harness that is not rethread makes it easy and quick to secure your children's seat belts. It's machine washable and easy to spot clean.
