DOUBLE ALL-TERRAIN STROLLERS

BASIC FEATURES
basic features for the parent

My achy breaky back: For many parents there is the risk that the all-terrain stroller they purchase will end up giving them lower back pains as a result of extended hunching over the handles-make sure the height of the handle(s) allow you to walk with a straight spine. Those parents with a longer stride may also end up kicking the stroller frame. Most all-terrain strollers tend to be designed with less "kickable" frames and height adjustable handles, but for the tall parents out there: make sure you can walk comfortably without hunching or kicking when pushing the stroller.

Everything but the kitchen sink: When it comes to all-terrain double strollers you should expect a good-sized under-seat basket that can carry a standard-sized diaper bag and hopefully a place for your keys and cell phone near the handle bar(s). Also, try to find a model that allows access to the under seat basket even when the seat is reclined.

The shiny happy stroller pusher checklist:

1. Look for good storage space
2. Uncomfortable handles for your wrists & hands: Don't buy it!
3. You're hunched over the stroller: Don't buy it!
4. The stroller frame intrudes on your natural stride: Don't buy it!
