Do you love to power walk or are you a runner? Do you find it difficult to run or walk because you have two young children? The answer may be a double jogging stroller that will accommodate both your kids and allow you to stay or get fit.

Double joggers are first and foremost safe and secure for your children as they ride in the stroller. They are constructed with a fixed front wheel and two rear wheels. They track straight as you run and they are easy to push since they are very lightweight.

There are lots of choices on the market - so deciding which one is best for you is not always easy. Here is a list of 10 things to consider when looking to purchase one.

1. Wheel type. The way that jogging strollers assure a smooth ride and an easy push for the runner/walker is the large wheels. The wheels on your stroller should be 16″ in diameter and they should be similar to a bicycle tire - air filled tires and spoked wheels.

2. Comfort for passengers. Part of a smooth ride for your baby is having them be as comfortable as possible. The seats for your babies should be padded and ideally be made of a lightweight, breathable fabric. Make sure the seats recline so that baby can have a nap while you jog.

3. Handlebar that can easily be adjusted. If both you and your partner plan on using the stroller - and if one of you or your partner is much taller than the other - make sure that the stroller you choose has a handlebar that can be adjusted with a simple touch of a button. This feature will make the double stroller much more comfortable for anyone that will be walking/running with the stroller.

4. Light-weight. The lighter your stroller is the better (35 pounds or less). You will inevitably be lifting the folded-up stroller in and out of your car - and you want to make sure that it can be easily done. And, obviously the lighter the stroller the easier it will be to push.

5. Long lasting. Today’s strollers will either be welded aluminium frame construction or will be constructed of metal tubes connected with plastic joints. Look for one that has a welded aluminium frame - it will be more expensive, but they are noticeably lighter and much sturdier than strollers with metal tube frames. Also, look for a stroller that has wheels made of alloy - they are lighter and rust-resistant - compared to steel wheels.

6. Safety - the most important aspect of your purchase is acquiring a baby jogging stroller that is safe for your babies. Look for one that has a five-point harness for each of the seats. This will keep your children secure in the stroller when out for a walk or a jog.

7. Brakes. Your double jogging stroller must have a parking brake (usually a bar near the rear wheels that is engaged with a flip of your foot). In addition, the better jogging strollers will have a hand brake (situated on the handlebar) which is similar to a bicycle hand-brake and is used to quickly stop the stroller when running or walking.

8. Sun canopies. Sun canopies on strollers are there to protect your kids from the damaging rays of the sun. With a double stroller there should be two separately-operated canopies. Each of them should be independently positioned so that each of the riders is protected from the sun being in their face.

9. Folds easily. You will want to fold the stroller to store it away or to put it into your car. Make sure that you can fold it yourself since in many situations you will be on your own with your kids. It should fold to a small enough size so that it can fit into your car’s trunk. Also, look for a stroller that has easy pop-off and pop-on wheels so that it can be even smaller when folded down.

10. Stroller capacity. You’ll want a stroller that can hold up to 100 pounds of passenger weight. If not you run the risk of not getting enough use out of the investment you made in the stroller.
