Strollers for twins
A new baby is always a delight, however, when twins are in the picture it can bring additional challenges to the everyday routine. Finding the perfect stroller for two children can be a difficult task. There are plenty of options for twins and toddlers to get around. If you're looking for a tandem or side-by-side stroller there is one that is suitable for your family's lifestyle. Some strollers are able to accommodate twin car seats for infants and bassinets.
When you are choosing a twin stroller, the age of your children is the most important aspect to take into consideration. Newborns need seats that fully recline, allowing them to lay flat. They should also have a canopy that extends far enough to provide shade and include an open window. Some models also allow breastfeeding, and have an especially designed recliner that allows mothers to feed their twins.
If your twins have the same age and are in the same age range, you might want to consider a stroller with a side by side. This will prevent sibling fights over who is where and will make them feel more connected. If they are very different, whether in temperament or age, then a tandem stroller might be the best option.
The majority of twin strollers can be used for babies from birth. However for babies older than six months you'll require a stroller that accommodates infant car seat carriers or newborn bassinets. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double, for instance, has seating that can be connected to a pair infant car seat carriers. It will fit two newborns. It's important to note that this model is on the pricey side which is why it's a good idea to look for an option that is more affordable for your twins if you're planning to begin using strollers from the time they are born.
A stroller that is modular is a good alternative. It features an entrance seat in the front and a platform for standing children in the back. Although they're not as flexible as other dual-seat options but they're great for older kids and can be used for a number of years. The UPPAbaby vist v2 double is a good choice for this as it accepts two infant car seats and has an option running board for older children.
Strollers for multiple children
A double stroller is a must when you have two kids with similar age. They tend to be bulkier heavier, heavier, and more expensive than single strollers, but are much easier to maneuver with two children onboard. These strollers are especially useful for families with infants and toddler. They can be used together instead of facing one another, allowing them to see the world around them.
The right type of stroller will depend on a variety of aspects such as the distance between your kids are and whether they can sit without help. If you have twins, it is advisable to use a tandem stroller as the best choice as it is also suitable for siblings who aren't yet old enough to get out of a car seat. If you have a wide age gap however it is best to opt for a convertible stroller that is able to adapt to your children's needs and can accommodate infant car seats (not all do).
It is important to think about the amount of space you have in your home and/or vehicle for double stroller s. They can be large and heavy when folded, and they're difficult to fit into tight spaces or in the trunk of an automobile.
Think about the location you live in, because city dwellers often face narrow sidewalks, tiny apartments, and narrow hallways and doors. Side-by-side strollers that are narrow and inline doubles are the best choices for those scenarios. If you live in the suburbs, on the other hand you'll require a spacious, comfortable stroller with plenty of storage space and an extra-wide base to handle rough terrain.
While any stroller can perform admirably on smooth surfaces but the quality of its wheels and suspension will impact how easily it glides over uneven or unpaved surfaces, carpeting, grass, and other obstacles. A double stroller with swivel-lock front wheels and a smooth suspension is likely to provide the most stability.
If you're on a budget, the G-Link 2 is an excellent double stroller that is lightweight and has luxurious features that make it easier to get up and down stairs than you'd expect. It's remarkable that it weighs less than 22 pounds and that's not even considering that it comes with two large baby seats as well as plenty of storage space for them both.
Strollers for older children
The bulky strollers from the 1980s that some parents may remember are a thing of the past. Double strollers of today are sleek, and they offer a variety of options for customization that can help families on numerous family outings. They can be used by children from birth, if used with a bassinet, or infant car seat. They can also be used with side-by-side and tandem seating options.
Side-by-side strollers are smaller than tandem strollers and typically easier to maneuver, particularly in store aisles that are crowded and tight sidewalk corners. They tend to be less expensive than convertible strollers. double pram and pushchair are larger and have smaller spaces for the two seats and might require additional clearance in the garage to park. These models can accommodate children from birth to age 4 or 5. The most effective tandem strollers have a stadium seating build that places the child in front more so that both children can see. Some of these seats also recline or come in standing positions for older children.
Consider how long you plan to use the stroller for. Most of the strollers we tested last for a few years, but you'll want to consider your family's growth as well as your budget. If you intend to use it for a prolonged period of time, you'll need to consider the cost of replacing the stroller's tires and perhaps accessories like the child's snack tray or canopy as your children grow older.
Before making a final decision, ensure that the stroller has been inspected by the Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association (JPMA) and has locks that can be locked and simple-to-use breaks, as well as being free of recent recalls. Alli Cavasino, a certified child passenger safety technician also advises stroller pushers to look for adjustable handlebars as well as the ability to move the seats up and down the frame quickly using simple frame clips, particularly for parents who are not in the typical height range. Any stroller worth its salt must fold almost effortlessly. Of course, it's important to practice proper posture while pushing the stroller so you don't get back pain or other health issues.
Strollers for Joggers
If you're a parent who likes to stroller jog and jog, a double stroller with an outstanding suspension system will provide your kids with a smooth and comfortable ride. Choose a stroller with adjustable seat heights, reclining seats, and spacious cargo areas that can store all your equipment and kids' essentials. Also, you should consider a stroller with a reliable braking system and a canopy that can block the sun and wind to ensure your child's safety and comfort.
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 a toddler to sit up straight and enjoy the view.

You'll also appreciate the ample storage, convenient plastic trays for both the drinks for kids and adults and the large UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.
If you are planning to travel with a double stroller, you should choose one that is able to fold quickly and compactly. This allows it to fit in the overhead compartments of planes, trains and cars. Our top picks are the Thule Caboose Ultralight Graphite stroller folds in one hand and can be pulled around like rolling luggage.
