A double stroller that has two car seats is essential for twins and children. The Joovy TwinRoo+ allows infant car seats to face either way, and also has a sit-and stand configuration for older children.
A baby jogger is another option for parents looking to take their children on a run journey. What stroller is the best for you?
Easy to Fold
The most comfortable double strollers are simple to fold, regardless of whether you're trying to store them in your car or stow them through the doorway. The majority of models have an lever or button that flips the seat back and folds the base for compact storage. Some models have a handle at the top which you can use to lift the stroller up and carry it, while other models include a kickstand that can hold the stroller upright when folded.
A double stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats and an add-on riding board is a great option if you're a parent of twins or are planning to have more than one child in the near future. A popular option is the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, that can take any brand of infant car seats and features seating in a stadium so that both children are able to see the sights. This model does not "snap in" the car seats. Instead you utilize a strap net to hold the seats. The frame rests against the frame.
Think about a stroller with front and rear wheels which lock to allow for better steering on uneven terrain. The parent tray has two cup holders, a covered storage area, and a cushioned handle with three positions to provide comfort and control. Some models come with an large basket that can accommodate even more gear.
For those who love the outdoors, a jogging stroller could be a better choice than a regular stroller, but it can be awkward to lift and carry with no handle. Some jogging strollers come with hooks to connect to a car seat for infants, that can provide parents with up to eight months of time to walk. However, this can be dangerous for babies who are younger than six months. It is best to discuss it with your pediatrician prior to making a decision. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 2 Double are lightweight and have convenient one-hand, standing folds. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is an excellent choice for outdoor activities. It is able to seat one child in the main seat or two toddler seats that can be converted into bassinet-style seating.
Sturdy
A pushchairs double stroller can be a valuable tool for families who are on the move. It must be sturdy enough to withstand different surfaces, including parks and sidewalks in suburban areas. It is also necessary to be comfortable for toddlers and infants, who might want to explore and sit up. Ideally, it should be able of accommodating different seating arrangements for children at different age groups. It will also fit nicely into the trunk of your vehicle.

The stroller is packed with plenty of storage space, including a huge cargo net underneath the seats as well as a big bag on top.

Convenient Storage
It's important to take into consideration the amount of storage that strollers offer, particularly if you have two children and their equipment. Some of our top picks such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, come with plenty of storage, including a large basket that can hold both children's snacks and adult gear. The UPPAbaby's easy, one-hand fold means you don't have to strain your back when you're ready to put it away.
Other models, such as the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller, have less space but offer decent flexibility for a reasonable price. This model is compatible with 23 different infant car seats and can be used to cradle every seat. It's a major advantage over other twin pushchairs frames that simply strap the car into place. They aren't built to last for as long.
Many parents of twins select tandem strollers that can take care of both infant car seats simultaneously, but these strollers often cost a lot more than single strollers and come with less life span as kids grow out of them. If you're looking for a cost-effective alternative, but one that will still work as your twins get older, consider a stroller that can carry two car seats. It should have dual canopies and an easy-to-use tray for parents that has cup holders.
It's important that your stroller can handle the weight and the movement your children will be carrying, but you also want them to sit comfortably. Our test participants looked for padding, good adjustable shoulder height straps and buckles that don't require two hands to operate. Some models, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Evenflo Pivot Xpand have reclining seats, which allow children to sleep in a comfortable position. Others, like the Joovy Cabose Ultralight Graphite or Graco Duet have seats with limited reclining options.
The size and position of the sunshades is also important. Some models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 or Evenflo Pivot have dual canopies to cover both seats. Others, such as the Joovy Caboose or Graco Duet have one canopy that includes a window for the rear passenger. It's a good idea if your child tends to fall asleep in a specific position. However, it is important to keep in mind that the window will only provide only a small amount of coverage.
Comfortable
The most important thing to consider when choosing a stroller is the ease of use. Look for an extremely comfortable, well-padded and sturdy seat that's big enough for both kids and also has recline positions. The canopy should provide adequate shade, and the tray for parents should have two cup holders. Other useful features include the foot brake, locking front wheels and a parent organizer which can store diaper bags and snacks.
The best double strollers for cars have safety features to make your child feel safe. Pick a stroller with a 5-point safety harness that holds your child's shoulders and hips - the most rigid parts of their body. This shifts the force of an accident away from the abdomen and into the seat, making this type of restraint safer than a lap belt.
You should also 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 determine the doorways you'll have to cross when the stroller is in use. The standard doorways are between 30 and 36 inches wide, but some are a bit narrower.
Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a great budget-friendly option. It comes with two infant car seats, and two toddler seats which can be positioned either backward or forward. This model is comparable to some of the higher-end double strollers. But it's more affordable for families with growing children. The one-hand fold and front foot brake make it easy to move, and the 3-position handle that is padded is suitable for mom and dad. Under the large cargo basket is a convenient rear zipper access compartment for larger items. The front and rear swivel wheels have suspension to provide smooth riding on various terrains. The belt is not rethread, making it easy to secure your child's seatbelts. It's machine washable, and easy to spot clean too.
