However, those that offer a variety of configurations that allow you to pick the seating that is best for your family.

Side-by-side doubles are an iconic option, and are great for kids of similar ages that like to play with one another. Some options have a more double-decker style, allowing you to place one seat above the other or even attach a rider board to older siblings. Newborns can either be snuggled in a bassinet that is attached to the frame or in an attachment that lets you look at your baby. If you are expecting twins or already have twins, then a twin stroller will be the best option.

Choose a stroller with two wheels that is capable of handling off-road terrain, and even hiking.

The top double strollers come with clever features that make it easier to navigate in a difficult terrain or bad weather.

This model is a light and compact double stroller from Joovy. It weighs less than 23 lbs., making it ideal for air travel and storage in trunks or overhead compartments. It also comes with a large storage basket as well as an easy-to-use one-step parking brake.

Seating

In contrast to the massive strollers of old the modern double strollers are sleek and can accommodate various configurations that can be adapted to families.

They are available in a range of sizes and weights to accommodate children from newborns up to kindergarten.

A good double stroller should be easy to fold and maneuver and allows you to adjust the height of your handlebar to ensure you are comfortable on all of your outings. A good handlebar is easy to grip and should encourage you to walk in a logical manner (ask for tips from other parents). It should offer a variety of storage options to fit all the necessities your children will require.

If your twins are similar age, a tandem stroller may be the best option for your family. These models have seats that are side-by-side, so you can talk to them each other and keep an eye on both of them at the same. They can also recline separately so that one child can lie down while the other is awake and ready to go.

The drawback of a twin stroller is that it's more spacious than a model with a single occupant and can make it difficult to maneuver around the aisles of shops, sidewalks and narrow doors. However, for certain families, the benefits are worth the extra space and effort.

If you're looking for a compact double stroller, the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double is a great choice. Its shock absorption, sleek design and the capacity to accommodate two infant car seats - plus an optional running board for more mobile children -- make it a great option for city-living.

This basic model comes with a lot of seating space and storage, as well as heavy-duty wheels that manage any terrain. It also comes with an umbrella with 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. But some parents say the seats are too low and can't recline to a completely flat position, making it difficult for smaller children to get comfortable or reach their snack trays.

Ease of Use

Double strollers are often an investment that will be using for a long time. If you are looking for a double stroller, be sure that it is easy to use and clean. The top double strollers are designed to be user-friendly and include many useful features.

To start, all the strollers we tested fold up easily and compactly (with just one hand!). These strollers are lightweight and perfect for travel. Many of them can be checked at the gate on planes and fit into most trunks. In addition, the majority of our testers reported that their strollers folded to smaller sizes than their single-seat counterparts and some even included a carry strap for convenient carrying.

The Valco Snap Duo trend is a double stroller that has many options that can grow with your family. This side-byside stroller is compatible with infant car seats, a bassinet, and other accessories, so you can use it from birth to the age of preschool. Each seat comes with a 5-point harness and pushchairsandprams an enormous canopy that offers ample shade from the sun.

Another option that is highly regarded is the Joovy Leila 1+1 Twin Pushchair: Lightweight Tandem Stroller for Twins Roo. The stroller is light and compact, weighing only 22 pounds when folded. The front seat reclines to almost a full flat position and the back seat features an adjustable recline for every child. There's a huge storage basket and an easy, one-step connected parking brake that makes this stroller extremely user-friendly and easy to maneuver.

The only drawbacks of the Joovy Twin Roo are minor and specific to this model. Kerry says that the packaging is smart and fun, but it comes in five boxes which can be a bit heavy to carry around. She also found the Genuis magnetic clasp somewhat awkward, and it took her a while before she could master it. In the end, however she was very pleased with the stroller and would highly recommend it.

Storage

Strollers come in a variety of sizes and shapes, ranging from tandem doubles that are side-by-side to (single-file seating) styles, and a lot allow you to modify your stroller with a bassinet or car seat attachment. Some have rider boards that can be added for older children. However, not all of them are made equal. Some are elegant and simple to use, whereas others are heavy, bulky and difficult to fold or store.

If you're seeking a stroller with a light weight that can accommodate two children The Joovy Caboose Graphite is a great choice. It was the lightest stroller we tested in our tests, with a weight of just under 23 lbs. It folds easily and has all the features parents need for a fun day out with two children.

UPPAbaby's Vista v2 double is another model our testers loved. They particularly liked its sleek design and user-friendly. It can accommodate two infant car seats, a toddler seat, and a bassinet with no adapters required. The rear seat can be removed to create a triple or quad stroller. It comes with a large basket for storage, and can be upgraded by adding a parent organizer and all-terrain tires, as well with side storage bags.

Billingsley says that the ideal double stroller for a two-year-old is one that offers multiple customization options, like an adjustable seat or bassinet. That's because toddlers often have limited endurance, and the stroller with an attachment for a bassinet will provide them with a safe spot to rest for a nap. She says that a double stroller should also have a great harness and recline position, as well as ample storage space for toys and snacks.

The ZOE Twin+ is a popular choice among parents due to its light weight and the versatility. It's gate-check-friendly for airlines, fits through most doors (without having to remove the front wheels) and expands into a quad or triple stroller that has an additional My Babiie MB33 Tandem Pushchair - Dani Dyer seat. The nearly flat, independently reclined seats and the extra-long, adjustable sun canopies are other highlights. A large underseat storage basket as well as cup holders for the child and parent round out the impressive features. Taylor states that the only downside is that it has the largest profile when folded, and is difficult for parents to store.
