It's crucial to have sturdy frames as well as comfortable harnesses that are easy to grab handles for toddlers. It should also be able to fit through doorways and be easy to maneuver and fold. And of course, it should be a good value.
Each double stroller we tested was put through rigorous testing in our laboratory at the zoo, and on streets in cities. We also took them out for family outings in suburban neighborhoods. Our lab tests evaluate the stroller's maneuverability, stability, and ease of steering. We also test the comfort of the suspension for both the driver and rider, the weight capacity, height of the canopy for the seat, and the storage space.
We ask parents for feedback on each model, in addition to the routine safety check carried out by our team. We then take into account all of that information when forming our recommendations.

Style
When parents are looking for a double stroller they're looking for much more than just a way to carry their two children.

In addition to size, parents should also consider whether the double stroller will be able to pass through doorways or other tight spaces. Fortunately, most of the strollers we tested in our most recent update can pass through doors that are standard for exteriors that measure 36 inches wide, and most can accommodate interior doors that range from 28 to 35 inches wide.
Other features we consider when evaluating the top double strollers are the speed and ease with which they fold and unfold, how big the cargo basket is, how comfortable the seats are and how adjustable the canopy are. We also take into consideration how comfortable the buckles and seat straps are for children who sit in the stroller, and how easy it is to adjust the height of the handlebars.
For example, our top choice one, the Uppababy Vista V2, is lightweight and has ample onboard storage for both children. It has a cup for parents holders, reclined seats that can be reclined independently, and generous UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out. The seat's buckles and straps are cushioned and are among the most comfortable that we have tested. We also found it to be the easiest seat for children to fasten.

Be sure to conduct your research prior to making a purchase to buying, examining for indications of damage and checking for recalls that could be possible.
