Buying a Small Double Stroller

A double stroller is an important investment, and one you'll use for many years. That's why it's important to choose carefully.

Our test participants looked at strollers that have incredible flexibility and smooth rides on any terrain. They also checked whether the models were easy to fold and maneuver.

Size

There are a variety of double strollers available on the market, ranging from side-byside to tandem (single-file seating) and wagons. The category has advanced from the massive 1980s models that a few older millennials might remember--these days, they're sleek and support various options for customization to make traveling with kids more enjoyable for everyone involved.

For parents with infants or toddlers to take along, a double stroller that includes car seats can be extremely useful in getting them from A to B. Some of the most modern strollers have one frame that can accommodate two infant car seat or convertible toddler seats. This lets them be used by children from birth until they reach kindergarten age. These are usually more expensive than a double stroller frame but they come with an integrated car seat system and an enormous undercarriage basket.

Parents with less children can opt for a single-to-double stroller that is more simple and less expensive. These frames tend to be lighter and some moms utilize their original twin stroller after their children have outgrown it.

Another great feature of a few of the tiniest double strollers we've tested is their compact fold. They can fit in spaces where larger strollers wouldn't and are generally more maneuverable once folded.

Most double strollers that we tested come with a decent-sized sunshade. However, the coverage can range from nothing to the size of a cocoon. If you're on a budget it's a good idea to look into second-hand strollers for sale on sites like Facebook Marketplace. Just make sure you check the stroller for signs of wear before purchasing it.

Weight

When shopping for a small double stroller, parents must think about how much they would like to spend and if it will fit their family's lifestyle. For example, a lightweight stroller might not provide enough space for large bags or other gear. It may not have a canopy that is large enough, or other features to make it more convenient to use during long trips.

The best double strollers are simple to maneuver and sturdy, so that children can remain comfortable and not be confined to their seats. In our tests of comfort we award higher marks to strollers that have adjustable seatbacks and leg rests with padding. The top double strollers have reclining seating positions that allow kids to unwind on long rides.

Strollers that can be used for a variety of reasons are more popular than ever, thanks to innovative designs and clever features. Some of the best options can accommodate multiple car seat configurations and offer a wide range of seating options for children from birth to preschool years. Some are so light that they can be used for jogging or traveling.

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a compact double stroller is whether it can be able to pass through doors and other tight spaces. The older models of tandem strollers as well as side-by-side walkers are often too large to pass through the doors of many. The best small double strollers tend to be narrower than standard models and can be easily pushed into the majority of doors with ease.

It is also important to consider whether you need a stroller that has additional features, such as an holder for your cup and a snack tray. These are helpful for longer trips but will add weight and expense to a double stroller.

Folding

A Compact twin Stroller double stroller can fold compactly, easily fitting into tight spaces and making it easy to put away. Additionally, its lightweight design guarantees that it will be easy to move and carry.

Before you choose a stroller that is small take note of the location you intend to use it and how often. The answer to these questions will help you decide the essential features. If you plan to run with your stroller, you'll want one with an easy suspension so that it can glide over rough roads and uneven terrain.

Also, take into consideration the age and temperament of your children. If they're of the same age, a side by side stroller could be the best option. If they are at different stages of development, then a tandem style may be better suited for your needs.

A double stroller is expensive, but it's an investment that will pay off in the long run. The purchase of a top-quality model that fits your family's needs will make travelling with children easier and will offer years of convenience for you and your kids.

If you have limited storage space, consider a small double stroller that can accommodate infant car seats as well as toddlers. Evenflo Pivot Xplore Wagon can accommodate twins and is an excellent option for Compact twin stroller families with two children. It has dual canopies and a storage bin that can be attached as well as a tray for children with cup holders. This budget-friendly stroller also offers a quick and simple fold, and it can be carried by one hand. It is worth pointing out, however, that most double modular strollers require you to take off the second seat before folding them.

Maneuverability

The most suitable double strollers for small spaces are easy to maneuver and they have wheels that glide smoothly over any surface. These strollers feature reclining seats that are comfortable and have plenty of storage space for your child's gear. A lot of these strollers are compatible with toddler and infant seats as well as car seat carriers. These features make these strollers an ideal option for families who want one stroller that is multi-purpose.

Alli Cavasino, a certified child passenger safety technician who offers advice to parents on travel gear and strollers she suggests selecting a lightweight stroller that is easy for children to push. She advises that strollers that are heavy can cause frame fatigue and injuries. "If your stroller is heavy and difficult to push, think about adding a ride-along board or reduce the number of children in the seat."

Many of the compact double strollers we tried can accommodate multiple infant car seat carriers. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double, for instance, can hold two infant seats or toddler seats at the same time and can be converted to three seats using the RumbleSeat add-on. It also features a stylish inline design with foam-filled tires that will not flatten, and an adjustable telescoping handbar. The seat belts are simple to fasten and undo, and its UPF 50+ sunshades come with peekaboo windows.

Other models come with a variety of seating options. They can be used with twins or triplets, a larger child and an infant or a toddler riding the scooter (sold separately). They also come with brakes that are easy to use and a surprisingly compact fold that fits in the majority of trunks. Some are so light that they can be carried up and down stairs. They require minimal assembly. The Joovy Caboose however, requires a few tools and was the most difficult build in our tests.

Safety

The best double strollers are equipped with multiple safety features. They come with adjustable handlebars that provide a comfortable grip, and a large base to ensure it won't tip over when the children get out of their seats. The canopies are large enough to protect both children in rainstorms. Alli Cavasino is a certified child safety technician. She claims they are simple to use. "Look for an easy oneor two-step fold that can be easy to carry and has a clear, easy place to put the straps," she advises.

The tiniest strollers are able to be pushed through doors effortlessly. This is an excellent advantage if you live an apartment that is small or have a car that isn't as big. The smallest models weigh less than standard double strollers. This makes them easier to carry from one location to the next.

Parents with children of the same age may prefer an X-style stroller that is side by side one of our top choice: the Joovy Kooper X2, that has two child seats which can be adjusted individually for recline and size. In our testing we discovered that the seats were extremely comfortable, and the recline was smooth and simple. Each seat has a single lever. It also comes with a large storage basket, a one-step linked parking brake (to reduce hand fatigue while stopping), and some of the best harnesses we have tested.

If your children are of different ages, a sit-and stand stroller, like our top pick the UPPAbaby V2 double, could be an option. It can fit two car seats for infants, and it has a pair modified seats that serve as bassinets.
