Whether you're out for a stroll in the sun or going for your morning jog with the kids, a double stroller could make life with twins or two kids of different ages much easier. What are the best options to choose from the many options available?

Our new team member, Kerry, got her stroller's feet wet when she tried it out with this expandable model that allows you to alter the seating configuration for different needs.

Safety

Your stroller must be secure no matter if you're out running the town with your kids, going to the zoo or trick-or-treating. It's important to have a sturdy frame as well as comfortable harnesses that are easy to grab handles for toddlers. It should also to pass through doors, be simple to fold and move, and be easy to maneuver. It should be worth the money.

Each double stroller we tested went through rigorous testing in our laboratory at the zoo, in our lab and on city streets. We also took them out for family outings to suburban areas. Our lab tests evaluate the stroller's stability and maneuverability as well as ease of steering and handling as well as the comfort of suspension for the driver and the rider the capacity for weight and seat canopy heights and storage space.

We ask parents to provide feedback on each model as well as the routine safety check carried out by our team. We then consider all of this information when making our recommendations.

Begin with our top choices to help you find an excellent stroller that is secure and durable. These strollers are versatile and can be used with infant car seats. They come in single and double stroller or tandem stroller designs, and are suitable for children ranging from birth to elementary school.

The best double strollers are designed to adapt to the needs of your family. They are stylish and sleek, offer a range of customizations and can be used by infants and toddlers by providing side-by-side or tandem double buggy (single file) seating. Many also come with an enormous storage basket as well as a handlebar that could be adjusted telescopically, and one-handed folding mechanisms.

Consider a tandem stroller with benches at the back to accommodate a third child if you have twins or a child who is similar in age. They're a great option for siblings who want to be social with one another however they may not be in a position to sit close to one another in a stroller with a side-byside feature which could result in them ending up arguing or fighting. There are also convertible models that permit you to take off the bench seat once your children are ready to go for a ride without using a car seat.

Comfort

The best double strollers feature comfortable child seats that are well-padded and supported. They also have ample storage space, spacious footwells for children's feet and legroom and UPF 50+ canopies that provide great sun protection. Seats should be able to recline at an angle to ensure that children are comfortable. They should also come with adjustable calf bar that allow parents to independently adjust each seat. Alli Cavasino is a certified child safety technician. She says that the handlebars need to be ergonomic and easy to maneuver. The handlebars must be close enough to the kiddos' seats that you can reach them and grasp them. If the handlebars on the stroller are not close enough it will be a challenge to keep your balance and maintain good form when pushing them.

The ride should be smooth, even on rough or uneven surfaces. Some of the models we tested come with shock absorbers to ensure that the ride remains steady. Some have rear and front suspension, which can reduce the amount of force you need to push them, and increase the control you have over them. The wheels should be made of high-quality rubber with a robust tread that can withstand many years of wear and tear.

We looked for the most flexible double strollers that can be used from birth until toddlerhood and beyond. Some of the double strollers we found can be converted into tandem double buggy Twin Strollers For Newborns or side-byside strollers. One of them is the Uppababy Vista V2, can even be converted to a single to double stroller-file infant stroller. That model costs three times more than our primary tandem model, but it's of higher quality and will last longer because of its durable materials.

The best double strollers are lightweight double buggy and easy to maneuver for long walks, errands, and trips to the park or zoo. The double strollers are typically bigger than single strollers, and can be difficult to fit into narrow aisles in stores or doors. Some of them cost more than single-seaters, but that's reasonable since you get a lot more for your money. The models we recommend are safe for kids and adults alike and will grow with your family.

Convenience

If you're planning to invest money in double-strollers, they should be easy to push and store. Ideally, the stroller will be light and easy to store in the trunk of your car or in the space at home. It should be able to navigate rough terrain and make tight turns. Some of the best double-strollers have adjustable calf supports, as well as seats that recline. They also come with UPF sun protection. The canopy should be wide enough to cover two children. If you're worried about the sun's rays getting into their eyes, choose the stroller with a peek-aboo window.

The age and stage of your children will determine the type stroller you need. Parents with twins can opt for a convertible stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously, while families with an older child and toddlers may prefer side-byside doubles. You'll also have to decide whether you want a stroller that fits through narrow doorways or crowded aisles of the grocery store and can be used on airplanes.

In our Lab tests, we found that the best double strollers are relatively easy to fold and carry. The majority of double strollers fold in one or two steps and are compact enough to fit into the majority of cars that are compact. They're also designed to be stable when folded, making them much easier to put back together.

Some of the top double-strollers include convenient features for parents, like a cup holder for one parent and a large storage basket. Be sure to check if the stroller is equipped with locks on the front seat, to prevent your child from climbing out. Some of the better strollers include a universal car seat adapter and can be converted to one-seaters as your children get older.

Some of the best double strollers are a bit expensive, but they offer higher quality construction and higher resale values than lower-end models. They're also easier to maneuver and can withstand the toughest terrain, such as urban sidewalks or parks.

Style

When parents are looking for a double-stroller they're looking for much more than just a means to carry their two children. They're looking for a stroller that's light that is easy to move and has enough space to expand with their children. Since they will be carrying more children, the stroller must be easy on their back and shoulders.

The top double strollers are sleek and offer many different customization options. They can also be able to accommodate infant car seats to provide a smooth transition from baby-to-toddler. They are available in tandem (single-file seating), side-by-side, and even lightweight enough to use for jogging.

Apart from size, one of the most important considerations for parents shopping for a double stroller is whether it'll fit through doorways and other tight spaces. Fortunately, the majority of models we tested in our latest update can pass through standard exterior doors that measure 36 inches wide. The the majority of them can fit inside doors that measure 28 to 35 inches wide.

When evaluating the top double strollers, we also take into consideration how easy they fold and unfold. We also consider how comfortable the seats and canopy are. We also take a look at how comfortable the seat straps and buckles are for seated children, and how easy it is to access and adjust the height of the handlebar.

For example our top choice one, the Uppababy Vista V2, is lightweight and offers plenty of storage for both children. It has one parent cup holders, reclined seats that can be reclined independently, and a large UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. Its padded seat straps and buckles are among the most comfortable we have found in our tests and we found the seat to be among the easiest to secure for children of all different ages.
