How Easy Is It to Push and Fold a Double Stroller?

Whether you're taking your toddler on a walk or jogging with your twins, having the perfect double stroller makes it easier for everyone to get around. It's important to find one that's easy to push and fold is a must.

Our Lab experts suggest side-byside models with equal reclining and plenty of storage space, including car seat adapters for infants.

Seating

When shopping for a double stroller, seating options are crucial. Depending on your kids' age and stage You may want to consider a side-by-side option that allows both children to sit together, or a tandem style that allows one child to stand while the other is seated.

The seating arrangement can affect your comfort while walking through busy streets and sidewalks. Find strollers with reclined seats, footrests that recline and large canopies to provide shade for two passengers. Beware of hanging bags from handlebars, as they can alter the stroller's centre of gravity, causing it to tip.

Double strollers of good quality will also have convenient storage compartments to store your essentials. Look for compartments under the seats or behind the seats. These are great places to store toys, snacks, and other essentials. Parents consoles and bags attached to the handles are also useful to keep things within reach when you go for walks or outings.

A side-by-side stroller is the best option for parents who have children of similar ages. They tend to be more stable and provide better visibility for both the stroller and the passenger than stacking strollers. Some options can accommodate two infant car seats, which allows you to transfer your sleeping children from the car to the pram for newborn without waking them.

Sit-and-stand strollers are a great option for parents with older children who don't mind their kids sitting on their own and prefer some independence. They can also permit an older child to ride along on the front. This type of double stroller typically isn't newborn-compatible and might require more maintenance as the years progress, but it's a great option for active families that need the versatility of one stroller that can be converted to a double-kid version.

The best double strollers are strong and easy to maneuver, even on rough terrain or in tight spaces. They are also light and foldable to make it easy to store them in your garage or trunk. This makes them easy to carry on trips. They also have solid construction to ensure longevity and safety of your children. Additionally, they meet the American Academy of Pediatricians' (AAP) guidelines for safety.

Canopy

A canopy helps protect both passengers from the sun's rays. Some models even offer the option of a visor that can further protect children's faces. Models with giant shades like the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double have earned us top marks for their canopy options. They both provide plenty of coverage and cover kids from head to knee while inline models tend to cut corners on shade or provide a single canopy that only covers one seat, which is problematic for siblings that want different levels of protection.

A good canopy should also be able to slide easily onto the stroller, and many of our top-rated models can do that. Check the dimensions of the canopy before buying, as some models may require additional space to extend completely and not hit the handles.

Some parents prefer double strollers with an infant bassinet and car seat adapters to provide them with more options in the future. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double, for instance, has an infant seat as well as an add-on RumbleSeat. This makes it an ideal choice for families who have twins or young kids and require transport at the same time. This stroller has an unique sit-and-stand configuration for older children who prefer to ride on their own.

Other accessories that can help make your stroller more useful include parent consoles and bags that organize, which allow you to keep things in reach. They are especially useful for strollers that aren't frequently used or when you want to store snacks and toys away from prying hands. Some of these accessories are attached via a strap or snap, making it easy to remove them when ready for the stroller to be used again.

If you're seeking a double-stroller which can be transformed into a stroller for toddlers, with the option of a bench or glider seat and a bench seat, this is the stroller for you. The Graco RoomFor2 pushchair travel system System and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Duallie both feature a car seat-compatible bassinet, toddler seat and Jogging Strollers RumbleSeat. Both are able to be expanded to a triple stroller by the addition of a running board which is ideal for families that have an active child who is active.

Wheels

The type of wheels on the stroller can make an enormous difference in how easy or difficult it is to push. In general, bigger wheels are easier for you to maneuver and can handle a wider range of terrain. The material that the wheels are made of also plays a role in how hard or easy they are to push. Rubber wheels are more durable than plastic ones and are able to withstand rougher surfaces.

Stroller wheels are available in a variety of designs, sizes and materials to suit a variety of environments and needs. For instance, swivel wheels make it easier to navigate narrow spaces and make tight turns. Fixed wheels provide more stability and are ideal for smooth surfaces. If you plan to take your stroller off-road or on rough terrain, think about getting air-filled tires instead of standard rubber tires. These tires are similar to bicycle tires and absorb shocks, making for an easier ride.

Double strollers that are side-byside are wider than tandem strollers and can be more difficult to maneuver through narrow doors or congested aisles. They offer your children the same amount of room to sit and let them stretch their legs. They are also usually more maneuverable than tandem strollers.

If you are planning to use your stroller for a bike or run, choose a double jogger that has special all-terrain wheels or jogging tires. These tires are bigger, thicker, and feature sealed ball bearings for a smoother ride on uneven surfaces. Some models, such as the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller are compatible with car seats, allowing you to jog while your children are safely in their car seats.

Other all-terrain/jogging strollers, such as the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X accept a second child in the front, but are too bulky to qualify as umbrella doubles. In our testing, we discovered that the buckles on this stroller were the most difficult to fasten. This can be a problem when you are trying to fit two children in the stroller at the same time. This stroller is pricey, costing hundreds more than our main top-rated single-to-tandem option, but it does come with top-quality materials and a good return value.

Storage

A quality double stroller should have ample storage space for both parents and children. Lack of storage space can make it difficult for parents to run errands and bring all the gear they need on a family day out. In our Lab tests, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double scored very well in this measurement, with a large and easy-to-access basket that can accommodate up to 30 lbs.

Strollers that have multiple compartments and pockets can assist families in organizing small items like keys, wallets and phones. Additionally, a parent console or organizer bag that is attached to the handlebars could be a handy place for moms and dads to store their own personal belongings during outings with their kids.

The UPPAbaby vista has an enormous basket that can carry two infant car seats. (Not both bassinets, however.) It also comes with an adjustable telescoping bar as well as easy-to use brakes. It also has the largest weight capacity in our collection, as well as it folds to fit the majority of door frames.

Our test participants also discovered that the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite wagon has a great adjustable bar, which is perfect for parents with different heights. The wagon has two UV screens that fold up to provide complete sun protection and its cup holders and snack tray can hold different bottles for children and snacks.

The biggest challenge with any stroller is folding it and bringing it back in shape after you've used it. This is especially true if you have a toddler or infant with you. It's the reason it's essential to choose a stroller that has a smooth and user-friendly fold. Both the UPPAbaby Vista v2 stroller and Evenflo Pivot Xpand have a single-handed, user-friendly mechanism that lets parents fold their stroller quickly and efficiently, no matter what configuration they're in.

Double strollers may seem like an expensive investment but parents who plan to use it for a number of years will pay more than single strollers. It is also important to determine if the stroller can be disassembled for easier storage and transport. This is crucial in the event that you only have a small amount of space in your vehicle or home.
