The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 2 Double are light and feature convenient one-hand, standing folds. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is an excellent choice for outdoor activities. It can accommodate one child in the main seat, or two toddler seats that can be converted into bassinet-style seating.

The amount of storage space a stroller offers is important, especially when you're hauling two children and their supplies.

Certain models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Evenflo Pivot Xpand have reclining seats, which allow children to snooze in comfort. Others, like the Joovy Cabose Ultralight Graphite and Graco Duet have seats with limited reclining options.

This is a great option for parents who have children who are more likely to fall asleep in the same place, but it's worth remembering that they will only have only a small amount of coverage when the window is opened.

Comfortable

The most important aspect of a stroller to consider is its comfort. Find a seat that is spacious enough to accommodate both children and has reclining positions. The canopy should be large enough to offer shade and there should be a tray for parents with two cup holders.

It's also a good idea to consider whether the stroller can fit into your home. You must ensure that the stroller can fit in your trunk or closet before you buy it. You should also determine 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 a bit narrower.
