Tandem

Moms with twins have their hands full — literally. So when it comes to choosing a double stroller, convenience and ease-of-use are essential. Fortunately, these days moms of multiples have a profusion of possibilities: tandem, side-by-side, and the jogger. Each style has its advantages as well as a few drawbacks, (tandems are great for maneuvering through tight store aisles but the front seat doesn't always fully recline, side-by-side models are lightweight and easy to lift in and out of your car trunk, but their wide girth make them a bit cumbersome to direct, and while the jogger is great for moms on the move, they're best left for babies older than six months). So how do you choose? Before making this all-important purchase, decide how you'll use your stroller and what features you value the most.

If you amortize the cost of one of these Best of the Best strollers over the amount of time you spend using it during the first few years of your babies' lives, it comes out to just pennies a day. Moms of twins all agree, a good, high-quality stroller is money well spent. It's just one last thing to worry about in an otherwise busy day.
