Strollers For Twins and Toddlers
When you're taking your children for a stroll in the park or heading out on the road for your morning run, a high-quality double stroller can help you get to where you want to get to. Our favorite products are relatively simple to use, come with comfortable harnesses for children who sit and provide some flexibility depending on the needs of the day.

When twins are added to the mix, it could be an issue for parents. One of them is finding the right stroller that can meet two children's requirements. Thankfully, there are many options for twin babies and toddlers to get around. You can choose tandem strollers or a side-by-side model that will meet your family's needs. Some strollers can accept twin infant car seats as well as bassinets.
The most important consideration when selecting a stroller suitable for twins is the age of the children. Newborns should have seats that fully recline to allow them to lay flat. They should also have an extended canopy that is enough for real shade, and the ability to peek behind. Some models also support breastfeeding and come with a specially designed reclining chair that allows mothers to feed their twins.
If your twins have the same age range it is possible to consider a stroller with a side by side. This will stop siblings from arguing over who gets which position and make them feel closer. In contrast, if they're quite different in their age or temperament the tandem stroller might be more appropriate.
The majority of twin strollers can be used for babies from birth. However when you have children older than six months, you will need a model which accommodates infant car seat carriers or bassinets. For instance the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double has seating that can be connected to an infant car seat carriers and will fit a newborn twin. The model is rather expensive, so you may want to consider an affordable stroller for your twins.
Another great choice is a stroller that can be rearranged, that has a seat at the front and a platform in the back for standing children. While these aren't as versatile as other double-seat models, they're suitable for older children and can be used for a number of years. The UPPAbaby Vist V2 Double is a great choice to use in this regard, since it can accommodate two infant car seats, and also has an optional running board for mobile older kids.
Strollers for multiples children
If you have two children close in age, a double stroller could be a necessity. Double strollers are larger heavier, more expensive and heavier but they are also easier to maneuver when there are two children on board. They can be particularly helpful for families with one infant and a toddler as they can be used close to each other instead of directly in front of one another and allow both to see the world around them.
The best type of stroller will depend on a variety of factors such as how far apart in age your kids are and whether they are able to sit up on their own without assistance. If you have twins, an tandem stroller is the best option and can also be a good option for siblings who are not yet old enough to get free of a car seat. If you have an extensive age gap, it's best to choose a convertible stroller. It can grow with your kids and even accept an the infant car seat (not all of them do).
It is important to think about the amount of space you have in your car or home for double strollers. When folded, they can be heavy and bulky. They are also difficult to fit into tiny spaces or the trunk of your car.
Think about the location you live in as city dwellers typically have to deal with narrow sidewalks, tiny apartment living spaces, as well as tight doorways and hallways. Inline strollers or narrow side-by-side doubles are the best options for these situations. If you live in the suburbs, on the other hand you'll need a large comfortable stroller with plenty of storage space as well as an extra-wide base to handle rough terrain.
While all strollers can perform reasonably well on smooth surfaces but the quality of its wheels and suspension will determine how well it glides across uneven or unpaved paths, carpeting, grass, and other obstacles. A double stroller with swivel lock front wheels and smooth suspension is likely to provide the most stability.
If you're looking for a low-cost option, the G-Link 2 is an excellent double stroller that is lightweight and has high-end features that make it easier to schlep up and down stairs than you'd think. At just under 22 lbs it's even more impressive when you consider that it comes with two baby seats as well as plenty of storage for both of them.
Strollers for older children
The bulky 1980s strollers that some parents may be familiar with are a thing of the past. Double strollers of these days are sleek and they offer a variety of customizations that will support families on numerous family outings. They can be used by babies from birth (if they are used in conjunction with an infant bassinet or car seat) until age 4 or 5, and are available in tandem or side-byside seating designs.
They are smaller and easier to move around than tandem strollers, especially in crowded aisles of stores and around narrow sidewalk corners. They tend to be cheaper than convertible models. Tandem strollers are more spacious, have more confined spaces for the two seats, and might require more space in the garage for a park. They can be used for children from birth until age 4 or 5. The most effective tandem strollers have a stadium seating build which places the child in front of them higher so that both children can see. Some of these seats also recline or are in an upright position for children who are older.
When you are choosing a stroller to fit your family, consider the length of time you plan to use it for. The majority of the strollers we tested last for a number of years, but it's important to think about the growth of your family as well as budget. If you plan on using it for a long time, you will also need to consider the cost of replacing tires as well as any other accessories, such as the snack tray or canopy.
Before making a choice, ensure that the stroller has been inspected by the Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association (JPMA) with locks with swivels that lock and has easy-to-use breaks, as well as being free of recalls from recent times. Alli Cavasino, a certified child passenger safety technician, recommends stroller pushers to prioritize adjustable handlebars and the ability to move the seats up and down the frame quickly using straightforward frame clips, especially for parents who are not in the typical height range. A close-seam fold is a essential feature for any stroller that is worth its value in gold. Also it's essential to practice good posture when pushing the stroller so you don't risk back injuries or other health issues.

If you're a parent who prefers to stroller or jog and jog, a double stroller with an excellent suspension system will provide your kids with a smooth and comfortable ride. Choose a stroller with adjustable seat heights, reclining seats, and large cargo areas that can hold all of your equipment and kids' essentials. You'll also want to consider a stroller with a reliable braking system and an adjustable canopy that can block the sun and wind to ensure your child's safety and security.
If you have children of various ages, a stroller that can be used for both will allow an infant to lay flat as well as an adult to sit upright and enjoy the view. The Vista V2 stroller from UPPAbaby allows for a variety of seating configurations that lets you combine the included Toddler Seat with an add-on RumbleSeat to accommodate a maximum of two children. You'll also be impressed by the ample storage space, convenient plastic trays for both the adult and kiddo's drinks and the large UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.
If you have a child who needs to travel with their double stroller, you'll want a unit that folds up easily and compactly, so it can fit into small trunks or overhead compartments for planes, trains and automobiles. The Thule Caboose Ultralight Graphite is one of our top models. It folds with just one hand and can be pulled along like rolling luggage. The seats can be reclined in various positions, and the harnesses are simple to adjust without the need to change the shoulder straps.
Whether you're stroller jogging around the neighborhood or through the bustling city, a good-quality double stroller is a purchase will be used often. Choose a sturdy frame with strong suspension and wheels. Choose a model that allows smooth movement on a variety of surfaces and that is easy to maneuver. We also recommend strollers with swivel wheels that lock, making them easier to turn or park in narrow aisles.
