Strollers for twins
A newborn baby is always a joy but when twins enter the picture, it could bring additional challenges to everyday life. Finding the right stroller for two children isn't easy. There are a myriad of options for twin babies and toddlers. You can pick tandem strollers or a side-by-side model that will meet your family's needs. Some strollers can accept twin car seats and bassinets.

They should also have an extended canopy enough to offer shade and the option of a peekaboo window. Some models are also able to support breastfeeding and come with an especially designed recliner that allows mothers to feed their twins.
If your twins are similar in age, it could be a good idea to choose a stroller that is side-by-side. This will stop sibling rivalries over who sits where and makes them feel more connected. In contrast, if they are very different in terms of age or temperament, a tandem stroller may be more appropriate.
The majority of twin strollers are suitable from birth, however if your babies are older than 6 months, you will need to find a model that accommodates infant car seats or newborn bassinets.
