If your twins are near in age, you might find a tandem stroller works best for your family.

The only drawbacks to the Joovy Twin Roo were minor and specific to this particular model. Kerry says that the packaging is innovative and enjoyable, however, it comes in five boxes, which could be a bit cumbersome to carry around. She also found the Genuis magnetic clasp somewhat awkward, and it took her a while before she could get it to work. However, in the end she was very pleased with the stroller and would definitely recommend it.

Stores

Strollers are available in various sizes and styles, including tandems (single-file seating) and side-by-side doubles and many that allow you to customize the configuration using the use of a bassinet or car seat attachment. Some have rider boards that can be added for older children. They're not all created equal. Some are lightweight and easy to use, whereas others are heavy, bulky and difficult to fold.

If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller, check out the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite. It was the lightest option in our tests, weighing around 23 pounds and is also simple to fold, but it has all the features parents need to enjoy a great time with two kids.

The Vista v2 Double from UPPAbaby is a different model that our test subjects loved especially for its sleek design and ease of use. It can accommodate two infant car seats, a toddler seat and a bassinet, with no adapters required. The rear seat can also be removed to make it a triple or quad stroller. It comes with a large basket for storage, and it can be upgraded with an organizer for parents and all-terrain tires, as well with side storage bags.

Billingsley says that the most suitable double stroller to use for toddlers is one that offers multiple customization options. This includes a seat or bassinet that can be removed. That's because toddlers often have limitations in endurance, and having a stroller that has the bassinet attachment can give them a safe place to nap. She suggests that a double stroller should come with a sturdy harness system and recline positions, and plenty of storage space for toys and snacks.

The ZOE Twin+ is popular with parents due to its light weight and versatility. It's airline gate-check-friendly and fits through most doors (without having to remove the front wheels) and can be expanded into a triple or quad stroller with an add-on tandem seat. The near-flat, independently reclined seats as well as the extra-long sun canopies that are adjustable are other highlights. A large underseat storage basket as well as parent and child cup holders make up the impressive features. Taylor says the one disadvantage is that it has a a large footprint when folded, and can be difficult for parents to store.
