Another option is a baby jogger which is ideal for parents who wish to take their children on a run. What stroller is best for you?

Easy to Fold

The most comfortable double strollers are simple to fold, whether you're trying to store them in your car or fit them into a doorway. Most models have a lever or button that flips the seat back and folds up the base to make it a compact storage. Some also include a handle on the top of the stroller that enables you to lift and carry the whole thing, while some come with a built-in kickstand which holds the stroller upright until you're ready to use it again.

A double stroller that can fit two infant car seats as well as an add-on riding board is a good choice if you have twins or plan to have more than one child in the near future. A popular option is the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, which can accept any brand of infant car seats and has seating in a stadium so that both children are able to see the sights. This model however, doesn't "snap" the car seats into the frame instead, you simply strap them into place using strap nets and the car seat's rim rests on the frame's edge.

Consider a stroller that has the rear and front wheels that lock to allow for better steering on uneven terrain. A three-position handle that is cushioned provides the user with comfort and control and the parent tray includes two cup holders as well as an enclosed storage compartment. Some models have a larger large basket that can accommodate more equipment.

A jogging-stroller is a good option for outdoor enthusiasts. However it can be a challenge to lift and carry without a designated handle. Some jogging strollers come with a hook for attaching an infant car seat to give parents eight months of walking time. However, this can be dangerous for babies less than six months old and should be discussed with your pediatrician prior to trying. BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 2 Double have lightweight folding systems that can be folded by using one hand. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is also a great option for outdoor activities. It can be used to seat one child in the main seat or two toddler seats that can be converted into bassinet-style seating.

Sturdy

When families are on the move, a double stroller can be an indispensable tool. It should be durable enough to be able to traverse different surfaces smoothly including suburban sidewalks and trails in parks, and is comfortable for infants that may require a flat seat or toddlers who prefer to sit up and explore. Ideally, it should allow for multiple seating arrangements to accommodate children of varying age groups and fit comfortably in the trunk of your car.

This multi-functional tandem stroller from CYBEX is a good choice for tackling many types of terrain. It accepts one car seat for infants and has a reclining toddler seat.

Convenient Storage

It is important to think about the amount of storage strollers offer, particularly when you have two kids and their gear. Some of our favorites such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Chicco OHlalà Twin Double Stroller - Black Review Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, have plenty of storage space, including a large basket that can accommodate the kids' snacks as well as adult items. The UPPAbaby's one hand folding is easy and doesn't cause back pain.

Other models, such as the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller are smaller and have less space, but provide decent range of features for a cheap cost.

It's a big advantage over other Bambisol Twin Pushchair: Birth to Ultra-Compact Design frames which simply put the car in the car. They aren't built to last for as long.

Parents of twins often choose a tandem stroller that can accommodate both infant car seats at the same time. However these strollers are more expensive and last less as children grow. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, but one that can still function as your twins get older, consider a vehicle that is designed to carry two car seats for your children. It should come with two canopy and a simple to use tray for parents that has cup holders.

It is essential that your stroller can handle the weight and movement that your children will be carrying, but you also want them to be seated comfortably. Our test participants looked for padding, good adjustable shoulder height straps and buckles that do not require two hands 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 such as the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite and Graco Duet, have seats with only a few recline options.

The location and number of the sunshades is also important. Some models, like the UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot have two canopy options that cover both seats, and others, like the Joovy Caboose and Graco Duet are equipped with a single canopy with a window that opens for the rear passenger. It's a good idea to use this type of canopy if your child is known to fall asleep in a particular position. However, it's crucial to remember that the window will only offer only a small amount of coverage.

Confortable

The most important thing about a stroller to think about is its comfort. Choose a seat that is large enough to accommodate both children and includes recline positions. The canopy should be large enough to allow shade and there should be a parent tray with two cup holders. Other features that are useful include lockable front wheels and a parent organizer that comes with snacks and diaper bags.

The best double strollers for cars also come with safety features that will make your child feel safe. Choose a model with 5-point harness that secures your child's 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 into the seat.

It's important to consider how well the stroller fits in your home. The majority of parents have a small amount of storage space, so make sure that the stroller will fit into your trunk or closet before you purchase it. Also, you should take measurements of the width of any doorways that you'll have to go through with the stroller in its open. Standard doorways are between 30 to 36 inches wide. However some are wider.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers an adjustable seating option that can work with two infant car seats as well as two toddler seats that can be oriented forward or backward. It's comparable to a few 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 simple to move around, while the 3-position handle that is padded is suitable for mom and dad. Located beneath the oversized cargo basket is a handy back zippered compartment that can be used to access larger items. The swivels on the front and back come with suspensions to ensure smooth riding in all terrains. The no-rethread belt makes it easy to fasten your child's seatbelts. It is machine washable, and is easy to clean it off.
