You'll want to make sure that the suspension system gives an easy ride for your children in the front seat. If your stroller has a handlebar, ensure it's adjustable so that both parents can use it.

A canopy is an additional feature that can shield your children from harsh sunlight or inclement weather. The best lightweight double stroller canopies have the option of a reversible flap, or a clear plastic peek-a-boo window that allows you to watch your children without causing any disturbance to them.

Another important metric to take into consideration is how easily the stroller folds and unfolds. Compact strollers are simpler to store in the trunk of your car and take up less space. Strollers that have only one button to fold the chassis are simpler to use.

When choosing a double stroller take into consideration the age gap between your children and the kind of excursion you plan to take them on. For example, if your children are in the same age range and you want to opt for a tandem high-low stroller so that they can interact during outings. If your children are separated by a large age gap you can select a model that gives them more privacy.

If you're planning to use your stroller to carry baby car seats, choose a model with a high attachment score and that is compatible with top-rated brands.
