Strollers for twins

A newborn baby is always a delight, but when twins come into the picture it can bring additional challenges to the everyday routine. Among them, choosing the best stroller that can meet two children's needs. There are plenty of options for twins and toddlers to get around.

The most important factor to consider when selecting a stroller suitable for twins is the age of the children. Newborns should have seats that fully recline in order for them to lay flat.

Another option is a stroller that can be rearranged, that has a seat at the front and a platform in the back for standing children.

It's important to take into consideration the amount of space you have in your car or home for a double stroller. When folded, they can be heavy and bulky. They are also difficult to fit in small spaces or in the trunk of your car.

Consider how long you plan to use the stroller. Most of the strollers we tested last for a few years, but you'll want to think about the growth of your family as much as your budget.

Before making a decision, make sure the stroller is certified by the Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association (JPMA) with lockable swivels and easy-to-use breaks, in addition to being free of recent recalls. Alli Cavasino, a certified child safety technician also suggests stroller pushers prioritize adjustable handlebars and the ability to move seats up or down the frame easily with simple frame clips, especially for parents who fall outside of the average height range. A near-seamless fold is another essential feature for any stroller that is worth its weight in gold. It's also important to maintain good posture when pushing the stroller in order to avoid back pain and other health issues.
