Tandem strollers can be a blessing to any mother with two small children. Whether they are twins, minutes apart or siblings with a year or two between them. Either way, when you want to go somewhere, they both have to come with you.

When selecting which style or model of tandem stroller you are ready to purchase, keep a few things in mind. How big the children are is a main concern here, as some strollers will not fit infant carriers very easily. The other is transportability, if you have a small car, then you may want to find one that folds up very compactly for easy storage in the trunk.

Peg Prego Tandem Stroller This is a side by side style stroller with a built in brake on the handle. The main advantage to this particular stroller is that one seat is slightly larger than the other to accommodate two different sized children. The one drawback is that if you have twins, this will not hold car carriers on both sides.

Safety 1st Tandem Stroller The Safety 1st model is a front to back style stroller with a front seat that can be turned to face the parent. This stroller lets you use either one or both seats to hold infant carriers, very handy with twins. The covers and storage bags are removable for easy cleaning too.

Combi Tandem Stroller The Combi Twin Sport stroller is one of the finest side by side strollers on the market. This stroller can be used as is or combined with any of the Combi infant seats available. This model can also support children weighing up to 45 pounds and it has a full line of available accessories.

Whichever tandem stroller you choose, pick one that suits your needs not just at the outset, but for years to come. Look for ones that hold infant seats in the beginning and can be used when the children are a little bit older. The need to buy new strollers as they grow will be reduced greatly if a little forethought is applied.
