If you want to shop or walk on a city sidewalk, consider a stroller with front and rear wheels that lock for better control over rough terrain.

Many parents of twins choose a tandem model that is able to take care of both infant car seats simultaneously, but these strollers often cost more than single strollers and come with shorter life spans as children get older.

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, have only one canopy, with a window that opens for the rear passenger. It is a good idea to consider this if your child is prone to falling asleep in a certain position. However, it's crucial to remember that the window will only offer minimal coverage.

Comfortable

The most important aspect of the stroller you should consider is its comfort. Find a sturdy, well-padded seat that's large enough to accommodate both children and includes reclining positions. The canopy should be large enough to allow shade and there should be a parent tray with two cup holders. Other useful features include a foot brake, lockable front wheels and a parent organizer which can store snacks and diaper bags.

It's important to consider whether the stroller can fit into your home. You should make sure the stroller can fit in your closet or trunk before purchasing it. You should also measure the width of any doors that you'll need to pass through with the stroller in its open. The standard doorways are between 30 to 36 inches wide. However some are narrower.
