They should also have an extended canopy that is enough to provide shade and a peekaboo feature. Some models are also able to support breastfeeding, and have an especially designed recliner chair that allows mothers to feed their twins.
If your twins share the same age, you may want to think about a stroller that is side by side. This will stop siblings from fighting over who is in which position and make them feel more connected. If, however, they’re very different in terms of age or temperament the tandem stroller might be better.

They can accommodate children from birth, if used with a bassinet, or infant car seat. They are also available in tandem and side-by-side options.
Side-by-side strollers are smaller than tandem strollers and are generally easier to maneuver, especially in busy aisles of stores and tight sidewalk corners. They are often cheaper than convertible models. Tandem strollers are larger, have more confined spaces for the two seats, and may require extra clearance in the garage to park. They can be used for children from birth up to age 5 or 4. The best double strollers tandem strollers feature an incline seating design which places the child in front more so that both kids can see. Some of these chairs recline, or even have a standing position.
Think about how long you’ll need to use the stroller for. Most of the strollers we tested last for several years, but you’ll want to think about your family’s growth as well as your budget. If you intend to use it for a long time, you will also need to consider the cost of replacing tires and any other accessories, such as the canopy or snack tray.
Before making a decision, ensure that the stroller has been inspected by the Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association (JPMA), has lockable swivels and easy-to-use breaks, and having no recalls in recent years.

A close-seam fold is a essential feature for any stroller that is worth its weight in gold. It is also essential to maintain a healthy posture when pushing the stroller in order to avoid back pain and other health issues.
