Choosing a Double Travel Stroller

A double push chair stroller is a godsend for parents who are busy with several young children. Pick a stroller that is lightweight and can be folded up compact enough to fit in the trunk of your car or into an overhead bin.

Make sure you check the manufacturer's weight guidelines and be sure to not exceed them to avoid frame fatigue. Other must-haves include adjustable canopies, versatile seating for children of different age groups, and plenty of storage.

Comfort

A well-padded, high-quality and comfortable seat is essential for ensuring your children's comfort during strolls.
