When families are on the go, a double stroller is an invaluable tool. It must be robust enough to be able to traverse various surfaces with ease, from suburban sidewalks to trails in parks, and is comfortable for infants that may require a flat seat to toddlers who wish to sit up and explore. Idealy, it should be able to accommodate different seating arrangements for children of different stages of development. It can also be easily tucked away in the trunk of your vehicle.

Convenient Storage
It is important to think about the amount of storage a stroller provides, especially if you have 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 both snacks for children and adult items. The UPPAbaby's one hand folding is easy and doesn't cause back pain.

They're not built to last as long.
Many parents of twins select a tandem model that can carry both infant car seats at once However, these strollers typically cost a lot more than single strollers and come with less life span as kids get older. If you're looking for a low-cost option that can still function when your twins grow older, think about a vehicle that is designed to carry two car seats for your children. It should have two canopy options and a user-friendly parent tray with cupholders.
While it's crucial to ensure that your stroller can handle all the weight and motion you're going to be putting on it, you also want to make sure your kids can sit comfortably. Our test participants looked at padding, shoulder straps that were easy to adjust, and buckles that don't require more than one hand to operate. Certain models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Evenflo Pivot Xpand come with reclined seats, allowing children to sleep in a comfortable position. Others, like the Joovy Cabose Ultralight Graphite and Graco Duet have seats with limited reclining options.
The number and location of the sunshades is also important. Some models, like the UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot have two canopies that cover both seats, and others, like the Joovy Caboose and Graco Duet have a single canopy with windows that open for the rear passenger. This is a great option in the event that your children tend to sleep in the same position but it's important to remember that they will only have only a small amount of coverage when the window is open.
Confortable
The most important thing about a stroller to think about is its ease of use. Find a sturdy, well-padded seat that's big enough for both children and has reclining positions. The canopy should be large enough to offer shade and there should be a tray for parents with two cup holders. Other features that are useful include locking front wheels, as well as a parent organizer that comes with snacks and diaper bags.
The best double car seat strollers have safety features that will help your children feel secure. Select a stroller with five-point harnesses that hold your child's hips and shoulders, which are the most rigid parts of their body.
