Side-by-side model - In side-by-side model, as the name suggests, two or more children can sit side by side.

How is a Double Stroller Useful?

As parents, you understand that while handling a single child is in itself a significant task, handling twins or more children can be quite overwhelming - visiting a mall with three little children in tow is sure to leave you exhausted. In such cases, using a double/twin stroller is highly convenient and provides great relief.

Why You Need a Double Stroller?

You need a double stroller, if -
  • You have more than one kid in your family and plan to take them all outside together.
  • You are the only person available to push the stroller. If you were to go for two separate strollers, instead of a double stroller, you'll need another person to push the second stroller.
  • You have plans to add to the family. Double strollers offer an extra seat for your second child as an add-on accessory, so you don't have to invest in a second stroller.
