This extra width lets them to accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. They also come with other key features that help them stand out, such as spacious pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and windows that peek out as well as swivel lock front tires which help navigate narrow spots like shopping aisles a one-parent cup holder and an innovative fold mechanism that is able to be completed one-handed; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't built for tough terrain but manage city streets and theme parks fairly well.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be cognizant of weight. It's the lightest we've seen in our lab tests but still offers plenty of features, such as nice-sized pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; a quick-release fold that folds flat in just a few seconds; four-wheel suspension that can handle rough terrain and an adjustable front wheel that makes maneuvering tight aisles of supermarkets and shops effortless.
