Easy to Fold
The best travel double stroller double strollers are easy to fold, whether you're trying to stow them in your car or fitting them into an entranceway. Most models have an lever or button that flips the seat back and folds up the base to make it a compact storage. Some models have an upper handle that you can use to lift the stroller up and carry it, while other models include a kickstand to hold the stroller when folded.
If you have twins or plan to have additional children in the near future A double stroller that has two infant car seats and an add-on board is ideal option. The Baby Trend double tandem pushchair Snap-N-Go is a popular option. It can be used with all brands of infant seats and has a stadium seating for both children to enjoy the sights. This model does not "snap" the car seats into place; instead, you strap them in with strap nets and the rim of the car seat rests on the edge of the frame.
If you want to go shopping or walk on a city sidewalk look into a stroller that has front and rear wheels that lock for more secure maneuverability over uneven terrain. The parent tray comes with two cup holders, a covered storage space, and a padded handle with three positions for comfort and control. Some models come with an basket that is larger and can hold more equipment.
A jogging stroller is a great option for outdoor enthusiasts. However it can be a challenge to lift and carry without a handle. Some jogging strollers come with hooks that can be used to attach to a car seat for infants, which can give parents up to eight months of time to walk. However, this could be risky for infants who are younger than six months. It is recommended to discuss this with your doctor first. 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 is able to seat one child in the main seat or two toddler seats that can be converted to bassinet-style seating.
Sturdy
When families are on the go, a double stroller can be an invaluable tool. It must be sturdy enough to withstand various surfaces, like parks and sidewalks in suburban areas. It must also be comfortable for toddlers and infants who may want to play and sit up. Ideally it should be able to accommodate various seating arrangements for children at different age groups. It can also be easily tucked away in the trunk of your vehicle.

Convenient Storage
It's important to consider the amount of storage strollers offer, particularly if you have two children and their gear. Some of our favorites come with plenty of storage. They include an extra-large basket that can be used to store adult gear and children's snacks. The UPPAbaby's easy fold with one hand means you don't have to strain your back when it's time to put it away.
Other models, such as the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller, have less space, but provide decent flexibility for a reasonable price. This model is compatible with 23 different infant car seats and cradles each seat, which is a huge advantage compared to other twin frames that simply strap cars into place and aren't designed to last as long as the car seat that is used for infants.
Many parents of twins opt for a tandem model that is able to handle both infant car seats simultaneously, but these strollers often cost more than single to double buggy strollers and come with a shorter lifespan as kids grow out of them. If you're looking for a cost-effective alternative, but one that can still function as your twins get older, consider a vehicle that is designed to carry two child car seats. It should come with two canopy options and a user-friendly tray for parents that has cup holders.
While it's important to ensure your stroller is capable of handling all the weight and motion that you'll be placing on it, you'll also need single to double pushchair ensure that your kids can sit comfortably. Our testers looked at padding, shoulder straps that were simple 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 are equipped with reclining seats that let children snooze comfortably while others such as the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite or Graco Duet, have seats with only a few recline options.
The number and location of the sunshades are also important. Some models, like the UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot have two canopies that cover both seats, while others, such as the Joovy Caboose and Graco Duet have only one canopy, with windows that open to let the rear passenger in. This can be helpful for parents who have children who are more likely to fall asleep in the same position however it is important to remember that they'll only have only a small amount of coverage when the window is open.
Confortable
The most important aspect of a stroller to think about is its comfort. Choose a seat that is large enough to accommodate both children and also has recline positions. The canopy should provide enough shade and the tray for parents should have two cup holders. Other useful features include the foot brake, lockable front wheels and a parent organizer that can hold snacks and diaper bags.
The top double strollers for cars also have safety features to make your child feel safe. Select a stroller with a 5-point harness that holds your child's hips and shoulders, which are the most rigid parts of their body. This shifts the extreme forces of an accident away from the abdomen and into the seat, making this type of restraint more secure than a simple lap belt.
It's also a good idea to think about how the stroller will fit in your home. Most parents have a limited amount of storage space, so be sure that the stroller will fit into your trunk or closet before you buy it. Also, you should measure any doorways you will have to cross when the stroller is open. Standard doorways are 30 to 36 inches wide, however some are narrower.

A handy compartment with a zipper is located under the large cargo basket for larger items. The front and rear swivel wheels have suspension that ensures an easy ride on all terrains.
