When selecting a twin stroller, the age of your child is the most important factor to consider. The seats for babies should be fully reclined to permit them to lie flat. They should also have a canopy that extends far enough to provide shade and the ability to peek behind. Some models are made to accommodate breastfeeding and come with an upholstered seat that allows mothers to nurse their twins.

If your twins have a similar age range, you may want to think about a side by side stroller. This will prevent sibling fights over who is where and makes them feel more connected. If they are very different, whether in the way they behave or age or temperament, then a tandem stroller might be the best choice.

It's worth noting that this model is on the expensive side, so it might be best to look for an affordable option for twins if you're looking to use a stroller from birth.
