Whether you want a tandem or side-by-side stroller there is one to suit your family's lifestyle. Some strollers are able to accommodate twin infant car seats and bassinets.
When you are choosing a twin stroller the age of your children is the most important thing to take into consideration. The seats for babies should be fully reclined to allow them to lay flat. They should also have a canopy which extends far enough to provide shade and a peekaboo feature. Some models also support breastfeeding, and have an especially designed recliner that allows mothers to feed their twins.
If your twins are near in age, it may be best to opt for an asymmetrical stroller. This will stop siblings from fighting over who is in which position and make them feel closer. If, however, they're quite different in age or temperament A tandem stroller could be a better option.
The majority of twin strollers can be used from the time of birth. However when you have children less than six months old then you'll need a model which accommodates infant car seat carriers or newborn bassinets. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double, for example, has seating that can be connected to a pair infant car seat carriers. It will fit a twin newborn.

A modular stroller is another great option. It features a seat at the front, and a platform for standing children in the back. They're not as versatile as some other dual-seat options but they're great for older children and can be used over many years. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double is a great choice for this, since it can accommodate two infant car seats, and also has an optional running board for older children who are mobile.

It's also important to maintain good posture when pushing the stroller in order to avoid back discomfort and other health issues.
