It's essential to have a sturdy frame with comfortable harnesses, a comfortable and comfortable handles for toddlers. It should also be able to pass through doors and be easy to maneuver and fold. It should also be reasonably priced.

We put each double stroller we reviewed through rigorous testing in our lab, at the zoo, on city streets, and during family outings in suburban areas. Our lab tests evaluate the stroller's maneuverability and stability, and ease of steering. We also test the suspension comfort for both the driver as well as the rider, the capacity for weight, seat canopy heights and storage space.

In addition to the standard safety checks performed by our stroller experts, we request parents to provide feedback on their experiences with each model. Then, we take all this information into consideration when forming our recommendations.

Take a look at our top picks to help you find an excellent stroller that's safe and durable. These strollers are versatile and offer a variety of seating configurations to accommodate infant car seats. They can be used as a single stroller or tandem and are suitable for children ranging from birth to elementary school.

The best double strollers feature comfortable child seats that are well-padded and well-supported. They also have ample storage space, large footwells that can accommodate kids' feet and legroom and UPF 50+ sun-protection canopies which offer great sun protection.

The handlebars must be ergonomic and easy to maneuver, says Alli Cavasino, a certified child-passenger safety technician. The handlebars must be close enough to your child's seat that you can grasp them and hold them. If the handlebars are far apart, you'll have a hard time keeping your balance and retaining good form when pushing them.

The ride should be smooth, even on rocky or uneven surfaces. Some of the models we tested come with shock absorbers to keep the ride steady. Others have both rear and front suspension, which can reduce the amount of force needed to push them, and increase the control you have over them. The wheels should have a sturdy tread and be made from high-quality rubber.

We looked for the most flexible double strollers that could be used from birth to toddlerhood and beyond.
