Easy to Fold
The most comfortable double strollers are simple to fold, whether you're trying to put them in your car or stow them in the doorway. Most models have an lever or button that flips the seat forward and folds up the base for storage in a compact space. Some models come with an upper handle that can be used to lift the stroller and carry it around, while others include a kickstand that can hold the stroller when folded.

This model however, doesn't "snap" the car seats in place instead, you simply strap them on using strap nets and the edge of the car seat rests on the edge of the frame.
If you're planning to go shopping or stroll along a sidewalk in the city, consider a stroller with front and rear wheels that lock for more secure maneuverability over uneven terrain. The parent tray features two cup holders, a covered storage area and a padded handle with three positions to provide comfort and control. Certain models come with an basket that is larger and can hold more equipment.
For outdoor enthusiasts A jogging stroller might be a better choice over a standard stroller but it can be awkward to carry and lift with no designated handle. Some jogging strollers have hooks that can be used to attach to a car seat for infants, which can give parents up to eight months more time to walk. However, this could be dangerous for babies younger than six months. You should discuss it with your pediatrician first. BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 2

Sturdy
When families are on the move, a double stroller can be an indispensable tool. It should be strong enough to withstand different surfaces, including the suburban sidewalks and parks trails. It should also be comfortable for both infants and toddlers, who might want to explore and sit up. Idealy it will be able to accommodate different seating arrangements for children of different age groups. It can also be easily tucked away in the trunk of your car.

Convenient Storage
It's important to take into consideration the amount of storage strollers provide, particularly if you have two children and their toys. Some of our top models come with plenty of storage. They have a huge basket that can be used to store food and adult items. The UPPAbaby's one-hand folding is easy and doesn't burden your back.
Other models, such as the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller, have less space but offer decent flexibility for a reasonable cost.

Many parents of twins choose tandem strollers that can carry both infant car seats at the same time however, these strollers usually cost a lot more than single strollers, and have shorter life spans as children get older. If you're looking for a cost-effective option, but one that will work even as your twins get older, think about a wagon designed to carry two child car seats. It should have two canopies and an easy-to-use tray for parents that has cup holders.
It's crucial that your stroller is able to handle the weight and movement that your children will be doing, but you also want them to be seated comfortably. Our testers looked for padding, good adjustments to the height of the straps on their shoulders and buckles that do not require two hands to operate. Certain models, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand have recline seats that let children rest comfortably. Others such as the Joovy Caboose Ultralight graphite and Graco Duet, have seats with limited recline options.
Another aspect to consider is the number and position of sunshades. Certain models, like the UPPAbaby Vista v2 or Evenflo Pivot have two canopies to cover both seats. Others, like the Joovy Caboose or Graco Duet have a single canopy that has an opening for the rear passenger. This is a great option if your kids are more likely to fall asleep in the same position but it's important to remember that they'll only get minimal coverage when the window is opened.
Confortable
The most important feature of a stroller is how comfortable it is to use. Find an extremely comfortable, well-padded and sturdy seat that is big enough for both kids and has reclining positions. The canopy should offer enough shade, and the tray for parents should include two cup holders. Other useful features include the foot brake, locking front wheels, and a parent organizer that can hold diaper bags and snacks.
The most effective double car seat strollers also include safety features to make your child feel safe. Choose a model with a 5-point harness that holds your child's shoulders and hips, the most rigid parts of their body. This kind of harness is safer than a lap belt since it transfers the most intense forces from an accident away and into the seat.
It's also a good idea to consider how well the stroller will fit in your home. You should make sure the stroller can fit in your trunk or closet before you buy it. You should also take measurements of any doors you need to pass through when the stroller is in use. Doors that are standard size are 30 to 36 inches wide, however some are narrower.
