When deciding which double stroller to buy take into consideration the age gap between your children and the kind of trip you're planning to take them on. For instance, if your children are in the same age range and you want to opt for an incline-to-low tandem stroller so that they can interact when outings are planned. On the other side, if your kids have a large age gap then you may want to consider an option that is side-by-side, which gives them more privacy.
