The tandem strollers are becoming very popular because most offer independent seating and many different seating configurations so that infants and older siblings can be seated comfortably. Here are the types of double strollers below:

Standard Double Stroller: Is typically a mid weight stroller that offers side by side seating that allows children to interact with each other and typically works well for twins since both seats recline fully.

Lightweight Double Stroller: Similar to a standard stroller but in a lightweight version, this is usually used as a second stroller for light errands and travel, and are typically used for children over age 1 as they do not fully recline.

Umbrella Double Stroller: The most basic and lightweight stroller that is perfect for use as a travel stroller that will not be used for long periods of time. If you are willing to spend more, you can buy a model with more high-end features to make the ride more comfortable. Typically this type of stroller is used for age 1 and older, but some more expensive models feature car seat adapters for infant seats.

Jogging Double Stroller: A double stroller that is used by serious runners or joggers built on a lightweight frame, with air filled tires, and a heavy duty suspension system that can handle many types of terrain. Typically these can be used from infancy to the toddler years.

All Terrain Double Strollers: A more versatile stroller for parents that like to take trips to the mall or on hikes, not for runners or joggers. With improved suspension, larger air filled tires, and comfort features this stroller can go anywhere in style. Typically used from infancy to the toddler years.

Combination Double Strollers: These are strollers that offer versatile seating of options, some feature seating for infants and older children and some accommodate two infants. They offer adapters for an infant seat, or bassinets to be used in combination with a second seat which is usually a toddler seat. These strollers which can be side by side, in line, or tandem are a great option that will grow with your family.

Some popular double strollers today are Phil and Teds Vibe, Uppa Baby Vista, Britax B-Ready, Peg Perego Duette or Aria Twin, Bob Duallie Strollers (available in different models), Bumbleride Indie Twin, and the Baby Jogger City Select, and so many more.
