The most effective double car seat strollers have safety features that will make your child feel safe. Pick a stroller with a 5-point safety harness which secures your child's shoulders as well as hips - the most rigid parts on their body.

It's also a good idea to consider how well the stroller can fit into your home. Many parents have a limited amount of storage space, so ensure that the stroller fits into your trunk or closet before you buy it. Also, you should take measurements of any doors you have to traverse when the stroller is open. Doors that are standard are between 30 to 36 inches wide. However, some are wider.
