She also found the Genuis magnetic clasp somewhat difficult to use and it took her some time before she could master it. She was happy with the stroller in the end and would highly recommend it.

Storage

Billingsley says that the most suitable double stroller for a toddler is one that has multiple customization options. This includes a seat or a bassinet that can be removed. That's because toddlers often have limited endurance, and a stroller with an attachment for a bassinet will provide them with a safe spot to rest for a nap. She suggests that a double stroller must also include a harness system that is reliable and recline positions, and plenty of storage room for toys and snacks.

The ZOE Twin+ is a popular choice among parents because of its light weight and versatility. It's gate-check-friendly for airlines, fits through most doors (without having to remove the front wheels) and expands into a quad or triple stroller with an added tandem seat.

Taylor says the one drawback is that it has a large profile when folded, and can be difficult for parents to store.
