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

In addition to the standard security checks carried out by our experts in strollers, we request parents to give feedback on their experiences with each model. Then, we take all this information into consideration when making our recommendations.

If you have twins or children who are similar age to their sibling, think about choosing a tandem stroller with benches in the back that could be used by a third child. These tandem strollers are a great choice for siblings who would like to get together, but not be able to do so in a standard stroller. They may end up fighting or arguing.

If the handlebars on the stroller are too far apart it will be difficult to keep your balance and maintain good posture when pushing them.

Certain models come with front and back suspension that improves control and reduces the force needed to push them. The wheels must have a durable tread and made of high-quality rubber.
