For those who love the outdoors, a jogging stroller may be a better choice than a regular stroller, however, it can be difficult to lift and carry with no handle.

Sturdy

When families are constantly on the move A double stroller is an essential tool. It should be durable enough to travel over all surfaces including suburban sidewalks and park trails, and comfortable for infants who might require a flat seat or toddlers who prefer to sit up and explore. Ideally, it should also allow for multiple seating arrangements to accommodate children of various age groups and fit easily into the trunk of your car.

Convenient Storage

The amount of storage a stroller offers is important particularly when you're carrying around two kids and their toys. Some of our favorites, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, have plenty of storage, including an extra-large basket that can hold both children's snacks and adult gear. Its simple, one-hand fold means you don't need to strain your back when you're ready to put it away.

Other models, such as the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller, have less space, but provide decent flexibility for a reasonable cost.

They're not built to last for as long.

Many parents of twins select a tandem model that is able to handle both infant car seats at the same time, but these strollers often cost significantly more than single strollers and have shorter life spans as children grow out of them. For a less expensive option that will still work when your twins get bigger and develop, consider a stroller that can carry both child car seats and comes with two canopy options and a convenient parent tray with cup holders.

It is essential that your stroller is able to take the weight and movement your children will be putting on however, you also want them to sit comfortably. Our test participants looked for padding, good adjustable shoulder height straps and buckles that don't require two hands to operate. Certain models, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand are equipped with reclining seats that let children sleep comfortably. Other models such as the Joovy Caboose Ultralight graphite and Graco Duet, have seats with only a couple of recline options.

Another feature to consider is the number and position of sunshades. Certain models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot have two canopy options that cover both seats, and others, like the Joovy Caboose and Graco Duet, have a single canopy with an opening window to let the rear passenger in. This can be helpful if your kids tend to sleep in the same place, but it's worth remembering that they will only have only a small amount of coverage when the window is opened.

Comfortable

The most important aspect of a stroller is the ease of use. Find an upholstered, sturdy seat that's large enough to accommodate both children and also has recline positions. The canopy should be big enough to provide some shade, and there should be a tray for parents with two cup holders. Other features that are useful include the foot brake, lockable front wheels and a parent organizer that can be used to store snacks and diaper bags.

The top double strollers for cars have safety features to make your child feel secure. Select a stroller with 5-point harness that secures your child's shoulders and hips, the most rigid parts of their body. This kind of harness is safer than a lap belt because it transfers the most intense forces from an accident away and into the seat.

It is also important to consider how the stroller will fit into your home. The majority of parents have a small amount of storage space, so be sure that the stroller can fit in your trunk or closet before you purchase it. You should also determine the width of all doors that you'll have to go through with the stroller opened. The standard doorways are between 30 and 36 inches wide. However there are some that are a bit narrower.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a budget-friendly option. It offers two infant car seats, and two modified toddler seats which can be placed either forward or backward.

A handy compartment with a zipper is beneath the large cargo basket for larger items. The swivels on the front and back have suspension for a smooth ride in different terrains. In addition, the harness with no rethread allows you to quickly and easily to secure your children's seat belts. It's machine washable and simple to spot clean too.
