It must also be able to pass through doorways and be easy to move and fold. It should also be reasonably priced.

Each double stroller we tested was put through rigorous testing in our lab at the zoo, and on streets in the city. We also took them on family outings to suburban areas. Our lab tests test the stroller's maneuverability and stability in steering, ease of handling as well as the comfort of suspension for the rider and the driver capacity for weight, seat canopy heights, and storage space.
