01.Introduction
Test results for 15 double strollers priced $230 to $849 plus three platforms
If you have twins, or a baby and toddler close in age, a two-seater stroller could be just what you need for getting the kids from A to B. There are a range of options: side-by-side, tandem (with front and rear seats), and single-seaters with a toddler seat added, plus one unusual model with a seat plus an extra standing built-in platform/seat. You might also try an additional platform (either standing only or with a seat built-in) clipped to the back of the stroller. We put some of each type – a total of 18 products - through our stringent tests based on the Australian standard for strollers, checking their safety, durability and ease of use.
