Sturdy
A double stroller is an essential tool for families on the move.

It's important that your stroller is able to handle the weight and movement your children will be putting on however, you also want them to sit comfortably. Our test participants looked for padding, good adjustments to the height of the straps on their shoulders and buckles that don't require two hands to operate. Certain models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Evenflo Pivot Xpand come with reclined seats, allowing children to snooze in comfort. Others, such as the Joovy Cabose Ultralight Graphite or Graco Duet have seats with only a few reclining options.
Another aspect to consider is the number and position of sunshades. Some models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 or Evenflo Pivot have dual canopies to cover both seats. Others, like the Joovy Caboose or Graco Duet have one canopy that includes windows for the rear passenger. This is useful for parents who have children who tend to sleep in the same position, but it's worth remembering that they will only have limited coverage when the window is open.
Comfortable
The most important aspect of the stroller you should consider is its ease of use. Look for a seat that is large enough for both children and also has recline positions.

The top double strollers for cars have safety features to make your child feel secure.

It's an excellent idea to consider whether the stroller fits in your home. Most parents have a limited amount of storage space, so ensure that the stroller will fit in your trunk or closet before you buy it. You should also take measurements of the width of all doors which you'll be required to pass through with the stroller in its open. Standard doorways are between 30 to 36 inches wide. However, some are wider.
