Buying a Tandem Double Stroller<br /><br />A tandem double stroller can be a lifesaver for parents who have to carry two children around the city. They are sturdy enough to withstand the most difficult surfaces, and comfortable for an infant in a car seat and an active toddler.<br /><br />Testers love the fact that the stroller folds to a slim profile by using one hand. It offers plenty of storage space for both children and adults.<br /><br />Adjustable Recline<br /><br />This stroller is a great choice if you want an option that can grow with your family. It's an individual stroller, but can be outfitted with a second seat, jump seat or stand-on board for older children. It has an adjustable handlebar so even tall parents will find it easy to push and steer (and its rear suspension and three air-filled tires make running easy also).

It can be used with an infant car seat adapter included or with an additional child seat that is sold separately. Both seats have a deep recline, an adjustable footrest and an UPF 50+ canopy with large windows that peek out. The front seat can be turned around to face the back, so older children can see each other better.
