That means an sturdy frame and comfortable harnesses that are suitable for children who sit down, as well as easy-to-grab handles for toddlers who stand. It should also to pass through doors, be easy to fold and move, and be easy to maneuver. It should also be reasonably priced.We put each double stroller we tested through vigorous testing in our lab at the zoo, on city streets, and during family outings in suburban neighborhoods. Our lab tests evaluate the stroller's maneuverability, stability and ease of steering. We also test the comfort of the suspension for both the driver and the rider, the capacity for weight, height of the canopy for the seat, and the storage space.We ask parents to provide feedback on each model, in addition to the standard safety check performed by our team. We then take into consideration all of that information when making our recommendations.If you're looking for a safe, high-quality stroller, start with our top picks. These strollers are versatile and can be used for infant car seats. They are available in single or tandem stroller designs, and are suitable for children from birth to elementary school.The best double stroller s can evolve with your family. They're stylish and sleek, offer a range of customizations and can accommodate infants as well as toddlers with side-byside seating or tandem (single file) seating. Many also have a large storage basket and a telescoping handlebar and one-handed folding mechanisms.If you have twins or an infant who is similar age to their sibling, think about selecting a tandem stroller that has a bench seat in the back that can be occupied by a third child. They're a great option for siblings who want to be social with one another, but may not be capable of sitting with each other in a stroller that is side-by-side which could result in them ending with fighting or arguing. There are also convertible models, which permit you to remove the bench seat for your child when they're ready to ride without the car seat.ComfortThe best double strollers come with comfortable child seats that are well-padded and supported.

The handlebars must be ergonomic and easy to move, says Alli Cavasino who is a certified child passenger safety technician. The handlebars must be close enough to the kids seats that you are able to reach them and hold onto them. If the handlebars on the stroller are not close enough it will be a challenge to keep your balance and good posture while pushing them.The ride should be smooth on rough or rough surfaces. Some of the models we tested have shock absorbers to keep the ride steady. Some models have front and back suspension which increases control and reduces force needed to push them.

A couple of the ones we found can be configured as tandem strollers or side-byside, and one of them is the Uppababy Vista v2, can even be transformed into a single-file stroller designed for infants. The model is three times as expensive as our main tandem model, but its materials are more durable and it should last longer.The best double strollers will be lightweight and easy to maneuver for long walks and trips to the zoo or park and for errands. They're generally larger than single strollers, so they won't be able to fit through narrow entrances or crowded store aisles.

They want a light stroller that is able to move with ease, has sufficient storage space on the inside and thoughtful features that allow it to expand with their children.

It has a cup for parents holder, seats that recline independently, and a large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows.
