Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for growing families and offers parents various seating options to accommodate the needs and preferences of every child. The two stroller seats of the double stroller have reclining backrests, and canopies that are separate. They're also designed to accept one of Chicco's top-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front seat and rear seat (car seat sold separately) using the exclusive click-in attachment without the need for additional bars and straps, like many competing models require.

The tandem double stroller's wheels and suspension ensure a smooth ride on all terrains and the 1-touch rear brakes that are linked and have a toe-tap activated make stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples laboratory tests, Cortina Together received high marks for ease of usage. This is based on the ease with which it is to fold and set up the stroller. It also includes how easy it is to open and close the snack trays and engage and disengage the brakes, lift the stroller when folded and then carry it like an actual trunk.
The model has a few flaws. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded, which puts it closer to the beast end of our metric. In addition, it has a limited view from the back seat when a car seat is installed. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, especially after prolonged usage. Despite these issues we still think that this is a great stroller to have for your family.

Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - an affordable, lightweight stroller for families with 2 children. Its front swivel-lock wheels rotate to maneuver on flat surfaces, and secure for stability on bumpy ones which makes it easy to travel wherever you'd like to go.

This stroller has independently reclining seats for maximum comfort. Its oversized canopy extends to provide UPF 50 sun protection. It also comes with a peekaboo view window to allow for easy monitoring. We would prefer to have the canopy vented for more airflow. We were not happy the fact that the cup holder sits extremely high on the frame. You'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test in our tipping-test, the Jeep tipped over at a 39-degree angle, which is more than the average for double prams. It's heavier than the average and has more storage for the money. The handles and seats are also well-padded.
