A baby jogger is another option for parents looking to take their children on a running journey. Which stroller is best for you?
Easy to Fold
The most comfortable double strollers are simple to fold, regardless of whether you're trying to stow them in your car or stow them into the doorway. Most models come with an lever or button that flips the seat forward and folds it up to make it a compact storage. Some models have a handle at the top which you can use to lift the stroller and carry it around, while others have a built-in kickstand to keep the stroller when folded.
A double stroller that can fit two infant car seats and an additional riding board is an excellent option if you have twins or plan to have more than one child in the near future. One of the most popular options is the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, that can take all brands of infant car seats and features seats that are stadium-style so that both kids can see the sights. This model however, doesn't "snap" the car seats in the frame instead, you simply strap them in with strap nets and the car seat's rim rests on the edge of the frame.
Consider a stroller that has front and rear wheels that lock to provide better steering on uneven terrain. The parent tray features two cup holders, a padded storage space, and a padded handle that has three positions for comfort and control. Some models have bigger baskets that can accommodate more equipment.
A jogging-stroller can be a great alternative for outdoor enthusiasts. However, it can be difficult to lift and carry without a handle. Some jogging walkers have hooks that can be used to connect to a car seat for infants, that can provide parents with up to eight months more walking time. However, this could be a risk for babies less than six months old. You should discuss it with your pediatrician prior to making a decision. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 2 Double are light and feature convenient one-hand standing folds. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is also a great choice for outdoor activities. It can be used to seat one child in the main seat or two toddler seats that can be converted into bassinet-style seating.
Sturdy
When families are constantly on the move, a double stroller is an invaluable tool. It should be strong enough to handle different surfaces, including suburban sidewalks and park trails. It should also be comfortable for both infants and toddlers, who might want to explore and sit up. Idealy, it will be able to accommodate different seating arrangements for children at different age groups. It will also fit nicely into the trunk of your vehicle.

Kids can enjoy the ride in either of the seats or take turns standing on the baby bouncer board. The harness buckles with no-rethread are among the easiest we've tested and make it simple to get them into and out.
This double stroller is small double buggy and lightweight despite being a two-person stroller. It also has plenty of storage space, including an oversized cargo net under the seats, and a large basket on top.

Convenient Storage
It's important to consider the amount of storage a stroller provides, especially if you have two children and their gear. Some of our favorites come with plenty of storage. They include an extra-large basket which can hold both adult gear and children's snacks. The UPPAbaby's one-hand folding is simple and won't burden your back.
Other models such as the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller are smaller in space, but they offer good flexibility at a lower cost. This model is compatible with 23 different infant car seats and cradles each one, which is a huge advantage over other twin frames that simply strap cars into place and aren't made to last as long as the car seat that is used for infants.
Parents of twins usually opt for a tandem stroller that can accommodate both infant car seats simultaneously. However they are more expensive and last less as the children grow. For a more budget-friendly option that can still function when your twins get bigger, look for a wagon that's designed to carry both child car seats and features dual canopies and a convenient parent tray with cup holders.
It's important that your stroller can handle the weight and movement your children will be putting on, but you also want them to be seated comfortably. Our testers looked at padding, shoulder straps that were easy to adjust and buckles that didn't need more than one hand to operate. Certain models, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand, have reclining seats that allow children to rest comfortably. Others such as the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite and Graco Duet, have seats with only a couple of recline options.
The number and location of sunshades are important. Some models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 or Evenflo Pivot have two canopy options to cover both seats. Others, like the Joovy Caboose or Graco Duet have a single canopy that has a window for the rear passenger. It's a good idea if your child tends to fall asleep in a particular position. However, it's crucial to remember that the window only provides minimal coverage.
Confortable
The most important feature of a stroller is how comfortable it is to use. Look for an upholstered, sturdy seat that is big enough for both children and also has recline positions. The canopy should provide adequate shade, and the tray for parents should include two cup holders. Other features that are useful include locking front wheels, as well as an organizer for parents that includes diaper bags and snacks.
The most effective double car seat strollers offer safety features that make your child feel safe. Pick a model that has five-point harnesses that hold your child at the shoulders and hips, the most rigid parts of their body. This shifts the extreme forces of an accident away from the abdomen to the seat, making this type of restraint more secure than a lap belt.
You should also think about how the stroller will fit into your home. It is important to ensure that the stroller is able to fit into your closet or trunk before you purchase it. Also, you should determine the width of any doorways that you'll have to go through with the stroller in its open. Standard doorways are between 30 and 36 inches wide, however some are wider.
If you're looking for a low-cost option for your budget, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers flexible seating that can be used with two infant car seats as well as two toddler seats that can face either forward or backward. This model is comparable to some of the more expensive double strollers. But it's cheaper for families that are growing. Its fold-up feature that is activated by one hand and a front foot break make it easy to maneuver and a comfortable 3-position handle accommodates mom or dad. A convenient compartment that is zippered is located underneath the large cargo bin for larger items. The front and rear swivels have suspension for a smooth ride in different conditions. In addition, the harness with no rethread makes it quick and easy to secure your child's seat belts. It's machine washable, and easy to spot clean too.
