A baby jogger is a different option for parents who want to take their children on a running journey. Which stroller is the best for you?

Easy to Fold

The most reliable double strollers fold easily regardless of whether you want to fit them in your car or through a narrow doorway. The majority of models come with an option lever that allows you to fold the base and flip the seat back. Some models come with a handle at the top that you can use to lift the stroller and carry it around, while others include a kickstand that can hold the folded stroller upright.

A double stroller that can fit two infant car seats and an add-on riding board is a good 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 all brands of infant car seats and has seating in a stadium so that both children are able to see the sights. This model, however, does not "snap" the car seats into the frame rather, you tie them into place using an elastic strap and the edge of the car seat rests on the edge of the frame.

If you want to go shopping or walk along a sidewalk in the city look into a stroller that has front and rear wheels that lock to allow for better steering over uneven terrain. A three-position handle that is cushioned provides comfort and control and the tray for the parent has two cup holders and a covered storage compartment. Some models have a larger large basket that can accommodate more equipment.

A jogging stroller is a great alternative for outdoor enthusiasts. However, it can be difficult to lift and carry without a designated handle. Some jogging strollers come with hooks for attaching an infant car seat, giving parents eight more months of walking time, however this could be risky for infants under six months and should be discussed with your pediatrician prior attempting. 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, which can seat two toddlers or a child in the primary seating position is a fantastic choice for outdoor activities.

Sturdy

When families are on the go, a double stroller is an essential tool. It should be sturdy enough to travel over all surfaces from suburban sidewalks to trails in parks, and is comfortable for infants who may require a flat seat or toddlers who prefer to sit up and explore. Ideally, it should also allow for multiple seating arrangements to accommodate children of different ages and fit neatly in the trunk of your car.

This versatile tandem stroller made by CYBEX can be used on various terrains. It has a recliner seat for toddlers, and can accommodate an infant car seat. The footrests and legs that are adjustable ensure that children are in a comfortable position. Its UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows, as well as adjustable leg rests offer plenty of sun protection for both seats. The optional baby bouncer board allows kids to ride in either seat or stand on it. The no-rethread buckles were among the most simple to use in our tests, making it simple to get into and out.

This double stroller is small and light, despite being a two-person stroller. It has plenty of storage space, including a large cargo net underneath the seats and a large bag on the top. Parents are awed by the padded handlebars as well as the way that the seats recline, however some people complain that the backs of the seats do not fully collapse to a completely flat position.

Another barebones, lightweight tandem stroller is this one from Kolcraft which weighs less than 23lbs and can accommodate children as heavy as 40 pounds per seat (80 lbs total). It has large pop-out canopy to give shade, peekaboo windows, and a self-standing folding mechanism with the ability to carry it for easy transport.

This budget-friendly double stroller is the lightest frame that we've have tested, and is ideal for families with two children of similar age. It doesn't work with infant car seats, however, it will fit two of the best-rated convertible car seats and comes with an excellent cup holder for both of the riders. The seats feature a no-rethread safety harness that is simple and quick to secure. They also have plenty of storage underneath the seat without disturbing passengers.

Convenient Storage

The amount of storage a stroller offers is important especially when you're carrying around two kids and their supplies. Some of our favorites such as the UPPAbaby V2 stokke double stroller and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, have plenty of storage, including a large basket that can accommodate both children's snacks and adult gear. Its simple fold that is one-hand ensures you don't have to strain your back when you're ready to put it away.

Other models, like the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller, have less space, but provide decent versatility for a low price. This model is compatible with 23 different infant car seats and cradles each seat this is a major advantage over other twin frames that simply attach cars to each other and aren't built to last as long as the car seat for infants.

Parents of twins often choose a tandem stroller that is able to accommodate both infant car seats simultaneously. However, these strollers are more expensive and last longer as children grow. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option that still works when your twins get bigger, look for a stroller that can carry both child car seats and has two canopy options as well as a parent tray that is convenient with cup holders.

While it's important to ensure your stroller can handle all the weight and movement that you'll be placing on it, you'll want to make sure your kids can sit comfortably. Our test participants looked at padding, shoulder straps that were easy to adjust and buckles that don't require more than one hand to operate. Certain models, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand, have reclining seats that let children snooze comfortably while others, like the Joovy Caboose Ultralight graphite and Graco Duet, have seats with limited recline options.

The location and number of the sunshades are also important. Some models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 or Evenflo Pivot have dual canopies to cover both seats. Others, like the Joovy Caboose or Graco Duet have only one canopy, which has an opening for the rear passenger. It's a good idea if your child is prone to falling asleep in a particular position. However, it's important to remember that the window only provides the bare minimum of coverage.

Comfortable

The most important feature of strollers is the ease of use. Find an area that is big enough for both children and has reclining positions. The canopy should be large enough to allow shade and there should be a tray for the parents with two cup holders. Other useful features include lockable front wheels and a parent organizer that comes with diaper bags and snacks.

The top double strollers for cars come with safety features that will make your child feel secure. Select a stroller that comes with a 5-point safety harness which holds your child's shoulders and hips, which are among the most rigid parts of their body. This shifts the most intense forces of an accident away from the abdomen and into the seat, making this type of restraint safer than a simple lap belt.

It is also important to consider how the stroller will fit in your home. It is important to ensure that the stroller can fit in your closet or trunk before purchasing it. It is also important to take measurements of any doors you need to pass through while the stroller is open. Doors that are standard size are between 30 and 36 inches wide, but some are narrower.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers flexible seating that can be used with two infant car seats and two toddler seats that can either face either forward or backward. This model is comparable to high-end double car seat strollers however, it's less expensive for many families that are growing. The one-hand fold and front foot brake make it easy to maneuver, while the padded 3-position handle is suitable for mom or dad. A convenient compartment that is zippered is beneath the large cargo basket for larger items. The rear and front swivels have suspension that ensures an easy ride on all terrains. The no-rethread belt makes it simple to fasten your child's seatbelts. It's machine washable and easy to spot clean, too.
