Strollers for twins

When twins are added to the mix, it can become a challenge for parents. Among them, finding the right stroller that can meet two children's requirements.

The most important thing to consider when selecting a stroller suitable for twins is the age of the children. The seats for newborns should fully recline to allow them to lie flat. They should also have an extended canopy enough to offer shade and an open window. Some models also allow breastfeeding and come with an upholstered recliner chair that allows mothers to feed their twins.

If your twins have the same age range, you may want to think about a side by side stroller. This will prevent siblings from fighting over who is in which position and help them feel more close.

If you have two kids close in age, a double stroller might be a necessity.
