A popular option is the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, that can take any brand of infant car seats. It also has seats that are stadium-style so that both kids can see the sights.

Sturdy

A double stroller can be a valuable tool for families on the move. It must be robust enough to navigate different surfaces smoothly including suburban sidewalks and trails in parks, and is comfortable for infants that may need to lie flat to toddlers who want to sit up and explore. Ideally it should be able to accommodate various seating arrangements for children of different age groups. It should also fit neatly into the trunk of your car.

Convenient Storage

It's important to take into consideration the amount of storage that strollers provide, particularly in the case of two children and their gear. Some of our top picks such as the UPPAbaby V2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, come with plenty of storage space, including a huge basket that can hold the kids' snacks as well as adult gear. And the UPPAbaby's hassle-free fold that is one-hand ensures you don't have to strain your back when you're ready put it away.

Parents of twins often choose a tandem stroller which can accommodate both infant car seats simultaneously. However, these strollers are more expensive and last less when the children get older.

While it's crucial to ensure that your stroller can handle all the weight and movement you'll be putting on it, you'll also need to ensure that your children can sit comfortably. Our testers looked for padding, good adjustments to the height of the straps on their shoulders, and simple buckles that don't require two hands to operate. Some models, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Evenflo Pivot Xpand come with reclined seats, allowing children to snooze in comfort. Others, like the Joovy Cabose Ultralight Graphite and Graco Duet have seats with limited reclining options.

Some models, like the UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot have two canopies that cover both seats and others, like the Joovy Caboose and Graco Duet are equipped with a single canopy with windows that open for the rear passenger. It is a good idea to consider this if your child tends to fall asleep in a certain position. However, it's important to remember that the window only provides minimal coverage.

Comfortable

The most important aspect of a stroller to consider is its comfort. Choose a seat that is spacious enough for both children and has reclining positions. The canopy should be big enough to offer shade and there should be a tray for the parents with two cup holders. Other helpful features include locking front wheels, as well as a parent organizer that comes with snacks and diaper bags.

The top double car seat strollers also include safety features to help your children feel secure. Select a stroller with a 5-point harness that holds your child at the hips and shoulders, which are the most rigid parts of their body. This shifts the extreme forces of an accident away from the abdomen and towards the seat, making this type of restraint much 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 is able to fit into your trunk or closet before you purchase it. Also, you should determine the width of any doorways that you'll have to go through with the stroller in its open.  double pram and pushchair  are between 30 and 36 inches wide.
