A double stroller with two car seats is essential for twins and young children. One option is the Joovy TwinRoo+, allows infant car seats to face either direction and comes with a sit-and stand configuration for older kids.

Another option is a baby jogger, which is perfect for parents who want to take their kids on a running adventure. Which stroller is best for you?

Easy to Fold

The best double strollers fold effortlessly regardless of whether you want to fit them in your car or in a narrow entrance. Most models have a lever that allows you to fold the base and flip the seat back. Some also have a handle at the top of the stroller that allows you to lift and carry the whole thing, while others include a kickstand built into the design that keeps the stroller folded up until you're ready to use it again.

A double stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats as well as an additional riding board is a good choice if you have twins or are planning to have more than one child in the future. The Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go is an extremely popular choice. It can be used with all types of infant seats and features stadium seating for both children to take in the sights. This model doesn't "snap in" the car seats. Instead, you use a strap net to anchor them. The frame rests against the frame.

If you want to go shopping or stroll along a sidewalk in the city look into a stroller that has front and rear wheels that lock for better steering over uneven terrain. The parent tray comes with two cup holders, a covered storage area and a padded handle with three positions to provide comfort and control. Some models come with an oversized basket that can hold more gear.

For those who enjoy outdoor activities A jogging stroller might be a better option than a standard stroller, however, it can be difficult to lift and carry around with no handle. Some strollers with a jogging feature a hook for attaching an infant car seat to give parents eight more months of walking time. However, this is a risk for infants under six months and should be discussed with your pediatrician prior to making the decision to use. BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie, and Thule Urban Glide 2 Double have lightweight folding systems that can be folded with one hand. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is also a great choice for outdoor activities and can be used to seat one child in the main seat, or two toddler seats that can be converted to a bassinet style seating.

Sturdy

When families are constantly on the move A double stroller is an invaluable tool. It should be durable enough to navigate various surfaces with ease including suburban sidewalks and trails in parks, and is comfortable for infants who may need to lay flat to toddlers who want to sit up and explore. Ideally, it should be able to accommodate multiple seating arrangements for children of various ages and fit neatly in the trunk of your car.

The no-rethread buckles were among the easiest to use in our tests, making it simple to get in and out.

This double stroller is small double buggy and lightweight despite being a two-person stroller. It also comes with plenty of storage space, including an oversized cargo net underneath the seats, and a large basket on top.

The seats feature a harness with no-rethread that is quick and easy to secure and the ample undercarriage storage is accessible without disturbing your passengers.

Convenient Storage

The amount of storage that a stroller provides is crucial particularly when you're carrying around two kids as well as their belongings. Some of our top picks such as the UPPAbaby V2 double Stroller with 5-point harness and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, offer plenty of storage space, including an extra-large basket that can accommodate the kids' snacks as well as adult items. Its simple fold with one hand means you don't have to strain your back when you're ready put it away.

Other models, like the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame smallest double buggy Stroller have less space, but offer decent flexibility at a lower cost. This model is compatible with 23 different infant carseats and cradles every seat. It's a major advantage over other twin pushchair from birth frames that simply fix the car into place. They're not built to last as long.

Parents of twins usually opt for a tandem stroller which can accommodate both infant car seats at the same time. However they are more expensive and last less as the children grow. For a less expensive option that will still work as your twins grow, look for a wagon that's designed to carry both child car seats and features dual canopies and a handy tray for parents with cup holders.

While it's crucial to ensure that your stroller is able to handle all the weight and movement you're going to be putting on it, you'll also need to 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. Some models, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Evenflo Pivot Xpand come with reclined seats that allow children to snooze in comfort. Others, such as the Joovy Cabose Ultralight Graphite or Graco Duet have seats with only a few reclining options.

The size and position of sunshades are important. Certain models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot have two canopies that cover both seats, while others, such as the Joovy Caboose and Graco Duet are equipped with only one canopy, with a window that opens for the rear passenger. This can be helpful in the event that your children tend to sleep in the same position, but it's worth remembering that they'll only have only a small amount of coverage when the window is open.

Confortable

The most important aspect of a stroller is how comfortable it is to use. Choose an upholstered, sturdy seat that's big 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 features to consider include a foot brake, lockable front wheels, and an organizer for parents that can be used to store diaper bags and snacks.

The best double strollers for cars also include safety features to help your child feel secure. Select a stroller with a 5-point harness that holds your child's hips and shoulders, the most rigid parts of their body. This shifts the extreme forces of an accident away from the abdomen and towards the seat, making this kind of restraint much safer than a simple lap belt.

It's an excellent idea to think about how the stroller will fit in your home. The majority of parents have a small amount of storage space, so ensure that the stroller can fit in your trunk or closet before you buy it. You should also measure the width of all doors which you'll be required to pass through with the stroller in its open. Doors that are standard are between 30 to 36 inches wide. However there are some that are wider.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly 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 modified toddler seats that can either face either forward or backward. This model is comparable to some more expensive double car seat strollers, but it's more affordable for families with growing children. The one-hand fold and front foot brake make it simple to move, and the cushioned 3-position handle is suitable for mom and dad. A convenient zippered compartment is located underneath the large cargo bin for larger items. The front and rear swivels come with suspensions to ensure an easy ride across different terrains. The no-rethread belt makes it easy to secure your child's seatbelts. It's machine washable and easy to spot clean, too.
