It's a favorite for many parents who drive smaller cars and its clever design shortens the overall length to fit better into smaller trunks. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, and they recline to a variety of positions at the press of one button. The buckles were among the most simple to fasten and undo in our tests.

It's still a great option for families who wish to run, and its tough construction means that the frame won't wear out as quickly as some other tandems we've tested.

Seating
If you're thinking of using car seats for twins who are infants A stroller that can accept these seats is essential. Our top-scoring strollers work with the most popular car seat brands. For example the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double works with two car seats and the Joovy Twin Roo+ accommodates one car seat and bassinet (sold separately). We prefer strollers that work with multiple infant car seats since you can choose from a wide range of prices and not be locked to one brand.

A side-by-side twin stroller provides an older-fashioned seating arrangement and is easier to maneuver -- especially in restricted spaces or when crossing curbs.

In addition, the different seat heights can lead to sibling rivalries, which is why we suggest that you select a tandem stroller only if your children are nearing age.
