Choosing a Double Travel Stroller

A double stroller is an essential item when you have multiple children. Choose a stroller with a light weight that can be folded down so that it can fit in the trunk of your car or in an airplane overhead bin.

Do not exceed the recommended weight of the seat to avoid frame fatigue. Other must-haves are adjustable canopies and a variety of seating options for children of all age groups, and plenty of storage.

Double strollers are often criticized as being heavy and difficult to assemble. But they've come a long ways since the 1980s. The best double strollers have sleek designs and can be customized to meet your family's particular requirements, whether it's a tandem (single seat in the file) or a side-by-side configuration. They're also light and can be tucked away in car trunks, as well as on the majority of planes.
