Seating

Double strollers of today are sleeker and can be configured in a variety of ways to suit your family.

It should also have various storage options that accommodate everything you need for your children.

If your twins are near in age, you may consider a tandem stroller that works best for your family. These strollers have seats that are side-byside, which means you can interact with them both and keep an eye on each of them at the same. They also recline independently which means that one child can sleep while the other is ready to go.

The downside to a twin stroller is that it's more spacious than a model with a single occupant, which can make it difficult to maneuver around sidewalks, shop aisles and narrow doors. However, for some families, the advantages are worth the extra space and effort.

It also has sturdy wheels that can take on any terrain. It also comes with a canopy with 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. Some parents complain that the seats are too low and don't recline fully flat, which makes it difficult for little children to reach their food trays or to relax.

Ease of Use

A double stroller is usually an investment of a large amount and one you're hoping to use for years. If you are in the market for a double stroller, make sure it's easy to use and clean. Luckily, the top double strollers are designed to be as user-friendly as possible and come with plenty of features that are convenient for parents.

For starters, all of the strollers we tested fold easily and compactly (with just one hand!). They're also lightweight, making them ideal for travel. Many of them can be checked for gate entry on airplanes and fit in most trunks. Many of our test subjects discovered that their strollers could fold down smaller than their single-seat equivalents. Some even came with a carrying strap.

The Valco Snap Duo trend is double stroller with many options that will grow with your family. This side-byside stroller works with infant car seats and other accessories. It can be used from birth until preschool age. Each seat comes with a 5-point harness and an enormous canopy that offers ample shade from the sun.

The Joovy Twin Roo is another option that's highly praised. This stroller is lightweight, compact and only 22 pounds when folded. The front seat reclines almost to a flat position and the back seat can be adjusted to suit every child. There's a large storage basket and an easy, one-step linked parking brake which makes this stroller user-friendly and easy to maneuver.

The only negatives of the Joovy Twin Roo were minor and specific to this particular model. Kerry states that the packaging was fun and innovative, but it came in five boxes that can be a bit of an inconvenience to carry around. She also found that the Genuis magnetic buckle was clunky and took some time to master. She was happy with the stroller at the end and would recommend it.

Storage

Strollers are available in various sizes and designs and styles, including tandems (single to double pushchair-file seating) and side-by-side doubles and many that let you modify the layout using a car seat or bassinet attachment. Some come with rider boards that can be added for older siblings. But, they're not all created equal. Some are sleek and easy to use, whereas others are bulky, heavy and difficult to fold and store.

If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller, take a look at the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite. It was the lightest stroller in our tests, weighing less than 23 pounds. It is also easy-to-fold and comes with all the features parents need for a fun day out with two kids.

The Vista v2 double from UPPAbaby is another model our testers loved. They especially liked its sleek design and easy-to-use. It can accommodate two infant car seats, a toddler's seat and a bassinet. There are no adapters required. The rear seat can also be removed to make it a quad or triple stroller. It comes with a huge basket for storage, and it can be upgraded with a parent organizer and all-terrain tires as well as storage bags for the sides.

Billingsley states that the best double stroller for a toddler is one that has different options for customization, including an adjustable seat or bassinet. This is because toddlers typically have limitations in endurance, and having a stroller that has a bassinet attachment will provide them with a safe space to nap. She says a double stroller should also have a good harness system and recline positions, and plenty of storage space for toys and snacks.

The ZOE Twin+ is popular with parents due to its lightweight and versatility. It's gate-check-friendly on airlines, fits through most doorways (without removing the wheels on the front) and can be expanded to a triple or quad stroller by adding an extra tandem. Its nearly-flat, independently reclining seats, sun canopy with extra-long lengths and adjustable footrests are additional highlights, while its large underseat storage basket as well as the inclusion of parent and kid cup holders round out the impressive list of features. The one drawback according to Taylor, is that it doesn't have an elongated profile when folded, and could be difficult to carry.
