Design

One of the first things to consider when shopping for a stroller is where you'll be using it and the way you'll use it. This will help narrow down your options. If you plan on taking it to the park for long walks, a more rugged design may be important. It could also be the case for those who wish to use their stroller with a car seat travel kit.

You can convert most models into tandem strollers, allowing one child to be in the rear and the other one to sit in the front.

The most important aspect of a compact double stroller to consider is the ease of use.
