For parents of multiple kids, the double stroller is a godsend
You can’t beat the convenience of being able to haul both kids (or even three of them) to the playground, park, or store. Double strollers for infants and toddlers come in numerous configurations, but no matter the format, the best ones come with features like one-hand folding, front-wheel suspension, extended canopies, and foot and hand brakes. Many double strollers have optional storage expansion, sun shades, rain covers, and cup holders for morning coffee or your sippy cups.

In side-by-side or double-wide strollers, kids sit next to each other, allowing you to best configure each seat separately for naps and personalized comfort. These are best when kids are the same age. Inline models have one seat located in front of the other, and those are better for kids of different ages and sizes, since one seat is always more spacious than the other.
No matter the format, consider how you’ll be using the stroller. If you plan on actually getting a workout, pick one that’s durable and easy to push. If you’re braving public transportation with a double stroller, choosing one that’s lightweight reigns supreme.
