Twin Strollers: Tested by an Actual Twin Mom
Twin stroller advice written by people without twins is usually useless. Our author Jenna has pushed two kids through narrow doors, onto planes, and around grocery stores for three years. She's measured door widths at 12+ restaurants, tested every fold mechanism with both kids in the stroller, and has opinions about which side-by-side actually fits. This is the category we're most proud of.
How to Judge a Twin Stroller Yourself
Three things matter most: width (measure every door you'll regularly push through — 30 inches is usually the minimum), turning radius (a tandem that can't turn is a tandem you'll hate), and fold time (fold it with both kids watching — if it takes more than 30 seconds, you'll avoid using it). Side-by-side vs. tandem is a personal decision, but width is not negotiable.

Quick Recommendation
Measure your front door before you buy anything. Then measure the door at your most-used grocery store, pediatrician, and daycare. Those four numbers will eliminate 80% of your options instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Side-by-side or tandem — which is better?
Side-by-side for two same-age kids (they can see each other). Tandem for infant + toddler (the toddler wants to sit up, the baby wants to lie flat). If you have tight doorways, tandem wins. If you have wider walkways, side-by-side wins.
Can twin strollers fit through standard doors?
Some can, some can't. Standard US doors are 30-32 inches. Many side-by-side twin strollers are 32-36 inches wide. Measure before you buy — it's the #1 mistake twin parents make.
Do twin strollers fit in car trunks?
Depends on the stroller and the car. Most side-by-side strollers need a large SUV or minivan trunk. Tandems usually fit in smaller trunks. See our trunk-fit measurements →
