Our top choices are simple to use and have comfortable harnesses that fit seated children. They also have the flexibility to be used based on the needs of the day.
Strollers for twins
A new baby is always a joy but when twins come into the picture, it can create new challenges to daily life. For instance, finding the right stroller that can meet two children's needs. Thankfully, there are many options for twins and toddlers to help them get around. If you're looking for a tandem stroller or a side-by-side one there is one that fits your family's needs. Some of these strollers even are able to accommodate twin car seats for infants and bassinets.
When you are choosing a twin stroller the age of your children is the most important thing to consider. The seats for newborns should fully recline in order for them to lay flat. They should also have a canopy that extends far enough to offer shade and include a peekaboo window. Some models also support breastfeeding and come with a specially designed recliner chair that allows mothers to feed their twins.
If your twins are similar in age, it could be best to opt for a side-by-side stroller. This will prevent siblings from fighting over who sits in the same seat and will make them feel closer. If they are very different in terms of temperament or age or temperament, then a tandem stroller could be the best double strollers option.
The majority of twin strollers are suitable at birth, but when your children are younger than 6 months you must find an option that can be used with infant car seats or newborn bassinets. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double, for example, has seating that can be connected to a pair of infant car seat carriers. It will fit two newborns. The model is rather expensive, so you may want to consider an alternative stroller that is less expensive for your twins.
A stroller that is modular is a great option. It has an entrance seat in the front, and a platform for standing children in the back. Although they're not as versatile as other options with dual seats but they're great for older kids and can be used for many years. The UPPAbaby vist v2 double is a good option as it can accommodate two infant car seats, and also has a running board for older kids.
Strollers for multiple children
If you have two children similar in age, a stokke double stroller stroller may be necessary. They are generally larger heavier, heavier, and more expensive than single strollers, however they are more maneuverable with two children onboard. These strollers are especially useful when you have an infant and toddler. They can be used together instead of facing one another, allowing them to see the world.
The type of stroller you select depends on a number of factors, like the distance between your children are in age and whether they're capable of sitting up on their own. If you have twins, it is advisable to use a tandem stroller as the best option as it is also suitable for siblings who aren't yet old enough to be out of a car seat. If you have a wide age gap, on the other hand it is best to opt for an convertible stroller that will adapt to your children's needs and accept infant car seats (not all terrain double buggy do).
You should consider the space you have available in your vehicle or home for double-strollers. They can be heavy and heavy when folded and they're often difficult to fit in small spaces or the trunk of the car.
Think about the location you live in as city dwellers typically must contend with narrow sidewalks, cramped apartment living spaces, and tight doorways and hallways. In these circumstances narrow side-by-side or inline strollers are the best choices. If you live in the suburbs, however you'll need a large stroller that is comfortable and has plenty of storage space and an extra-wide base to handle rough terrain.
The quality of the suspension and wheels will determine how smoothly it glides on uneven surfaces, carpeting grass, and other obstacles. A double stroller that has swivel-lock front wheels and a smooth suspension is likely to provide the most stability.
If you're on a tight budget, the G-Link 2 is an excellent double stroller that is lightweight and has luxurious features that make it much easier to schlep up and down stairs than you might expect. With just 22 pounds this stroller is even more impressive when you consider that it comes with two baby seats as well as plenty of storage space for both.
Strollers for older kids
The bulky strollers from the 1980s that parents might remember are no longer in use. These modern double strollers are sleek and offer many options for customization to help families get through many family outings. They can be used by babies from birth (if they are used with an infant car seat or bassinet) up to age 4 or 5 and are available in tandem or side-by-side seating designs.
They are smaller and easier to move around than tandem double buggy strollers, especially in stores with crowded aisles and at tight sidewalk corners. They tend to be less expensive than convertible strollers. Tandem strollers can be larger, and have more space for the two seats, and require additional clearance in garages. They can be used for children from birth until age 4 or 5 The best tandem strollers have the stadium seating which places the child in front higher so both kids can see. Some of these seats recline, or even are able to stand.
Consider how long you'll be able to use the stroller for. The majority of strollers we tested last for a number of years, but it's important to keep in mind your family's growth as well as your budget. If you plan to use it for a long time, you'll need to consider the cost of replacing the stroller's tires and perhaps accessories like the child's tray for snacks or canopy as your children grow older.
Before you make a final decision, make sure the stroller has been certified by the Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association (JPMA) with locks with swivels that lock and has easy-to-use breaks, in addition to being free of recalls from recent times. Alli Cavasino is a certified child passenger security technician. She advises users of strollers to prioritize adjustable handlebars, and the ability to move seats up and down easily using frame clips. This is especially important for parents who do not fall within the normal height range. Any stroller that's worth its salt must fold almost effortlessly. It's also important to maintain good posture when pushing the stroller in order to avoid back pain and other health issues.
Strollers for Joggers
If you're a parent who likes to stroller or jog or jog, a double stroller that has an outstanding suspension system will provide your kids with a comfortable and smooth ride. It is recommended to choose an infant stroller with adjustable seat heights, reclining seats, as well as a huge storage area that can hold all your gear and the essentials of your children. Also, you should consider a stroller that has a reliable brake system and a canopy that blocks out the sun and wind to ensure your child's safety and security.
If you have children of various ages, a stroller that is able to accommodate both an infant to lie flat as well as an adult to sit upright and take in the view. The Vista V2 stroller by UPPAbaby allows for a variety of seating configurations that allows you to pair the included Toddler Seat with an add-on RumbleSeat to accommodate a maximum of two children. You'll be pleased with the ample storage capacity and convenient plastic trays that hold both the drinks of the child and adult, as well as the extra-large UPF50+ canopy with the peek-a-boo window.
For parents who need to travel with their double stroller, you'll require an item that folds quickly and compactly, so it can fit in small trunks or overhead compartments for trains, planes and automobiles. Among our favorite models, the Thule Caboose Ultralight Graphite stroller folds with one hand and can be pulled around like rolling luggage. The seats can recline in different positions and the harnesses are simple to adjust without the need to rethread the shoulder straps.
Whether you're stroller jogging around the neighborhood or navigating a bustling city, a quality double stroller is an investment you'll use frequently. Make sure you choose sturdy, durable frames with strong suspension systems and wheels that are built to last.

We recommend strollers that have locks that rotate, making them easier to maneuver in narrow aisles, or when parking.
