Shopping for a double stroller is no easy task: There are dozens of options on the market and hundreds of available features, each seemingly more important than the last.
So, what’s the bottom line? Here’s an overview of what to consider:
There are two basic designs: side-by-side and front-to-back double strollers; the latter often offer stacked “stadium-style” seating, so your rear-rider can enjoy the view, too. If you choose a side-by-side version, opt for a narrow/compact (usually, under 30” wide) style that will fit through standard doorways. Stand-and-go systems offer double seating, as well as standing platforms for kids (usually age 2.5+) – a great choice for families with older kids who still need a stroller assist.
If you lug your buggy around often, then look into the ultra-lightweight strollers that come in at under 20 pounds. And, as far as stroller uses go, your choices boil down to basic umbrella strollers, urban adventurers, and rugged jogging strollers that can handle most on- and off-road terrains.
And with that, here we go:
Boasting a stroller and second seat, the Baby Jogger City Select bills itself as the most versatile tandem stroller on the market.

It’s not just about adjustability, though; this slick and fully featured double stroller is a snap to use with a one-step fold for convenience, an adjustable 5-point harness, and more.
Key Features:
