This can be helpful in the event that your children are more likely to fall asleep in the same spot however it is important to remember that they'll only get limited coverage when the window is open.

Confortable

The most important aspect of strollers is the ease of use. Find an upholstered, sturdy seat that's big enough to accommodate both children and also has recline positions.

Also, you should determine the width of any doors which you'll be required to pass through with the stroller in its open. Doors that are standard are between 30 and 36 inches wide. However some are a bit narrower.
