A double stroller is an absolute necessity for families with two children of similar age. They tend to be larger, heavier, and more expensive than single strollers, but are much easier to maneuver with two children aboard. They can be especially helpful for families with one infant and a toddler, as they can sit together instead of in front of each other, allowing both to view the world around them.
The best type of stroller is determined by a variety of factors such as the distance between your children are, and whether they are able to sit up on their own without assistance. A tandem stroller can be utilized for twins or siblings who aren't quite old enough to leave their car seats. If you have an extensive age gap, it is recommended to get a convertible stroller. It will grow with your kids and even accept an the infant car seat (not all of them do).

Strollers for older children
The bulky 1980s strollers that some parents may remember are a thing of the past. Double strollers of these days are sleek and come with a variety of customizations that will support families on many family outings. They can fit children from birth (if they are used with an infant bassinet or car seat) through age 4 or 5 and are available in tandem or side-byside seating designs.
They are smaller and easier to move around than tandem strollers, especially in stores with crowded aisles and at tight sidewalk corners. They are usually less expensive than convertible models. Tandem strollers may be larger, with more space for the two seats and require additional clearance in garages. They can be used for children from birth until age 5 or 4. The most effective tandem strollers have the stadium seating that places the child in front more so that both kids can see. Some of these seats also recline or are in a standing position for older children.
Consider how long you plan to use the stroller for. The strollers we tested are designed to last for a long time. However, you should be aware of the size of your family and budget. If you intend to use it for a prolonged period of time, you'll also have to factor in the costs of replacing the stroller's tires, and perhaps accessories like the child's snack tray or canopy as your children grow older.
Before you make any final decisions, be sure the stroller carries Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) certification, comes with simple-to-use brakes, lockable wheels, and is free of recent recalls. Alli Cavasino is a certified child security technician for passengers. She advises users of strollers to prioritize adjustable handlebars, and the ability to move seats up and down with ease using frame clips. This is especially important for parents who do not fall in the average height range. Every stroller worth its weight should fold nearly effortlessly. It's also important to maintain good posture when pushing the stroller in order to avoid back pain and other health issues.

Also, you should consider a stroller that has a reliable brake system and an adjustable canopy that can block out the sun and wind to ensure your child's safety and security.
