The most effective canopies have a reversible window or a transparent plastic peek-aboo which lets you observe your child without causing any disturbance. Some canopies also come with visors that block direct sunlight.

Also, strollers with only one button to release the hand that folds the chassis are much more convenient to use.

When deciding on a double stroller, consider the age difference between your children and the kind of trip you intend to take with them.
