Choosing a Double Travel Stroller

You might also consider a tandem stroller, which allows you to keep both kids within sight and in earshot.

Comfort

A well-padded, high-quality and comfortable seat is essential for ensuring your children's comfort during strolls. It is recommended to choose an infant stroller with a recline backrest, adjustable backrest, and a wide seat that allows your child to sit up or stretch out. For added comfort, consider a stroller that has a spacious undercarriage that can accommodate bags for storage and other items without compromising the seats' position.

This can result in children fighting over which seat they should take a seat in.
