Buying a Small Double Stroller

Double strollers are a big investment that will last for many years. That's why you need to choose carefully.

Our testers looked at strollers that offer great mobility and a smooth ride on any terrain. They also examined whether the models were easy to fold and move.

Size

There are a variety of styles of double strollers on the market, from side-by-side to tandem (single-file seating) and wagons. The type of stroller has evolved from the vintage 1980s models some older millennials may remember. Today, they are sleek and offer a variety of customizations that make traveling with kids more enjoyable for all.

For parents with infants or toddlers in tow, an extra stroller that has a car seat can be extremely useful in getting them from A to B. Some of the most sophisticated strollers available feature frames that can accommodate two infant car seats or convertible toddler seats which allows them to be used from birth up until kids reach the age of kindergarten. They are generally more expensive than a simple double stroller frame, but they also provide the convenience of an integrated car seat system as well as an ample undercarriage basket that can accommodate both car seats.

Parents with fewer children could opt for a single-to double-stroller, which is more simple and less expensive. These strollers are generally lighter in weight, and a few moms have shared with us that they're still using their old stroller years after their children outgrew it.

Another excellent feature of some of the smaller double strollers we've tested is the compact fold. They can fit in spaces where larger strollers won't and are generally more maneuverable once folded.

Finally, most of the small double strollers we've tested come with a decent-sized sunshade, but the it's possible to have nothing to a cocoon cover. If you're on a budget it's a good idea to check out secondhand strollers on auction websites like Facebook Marketplace. Just make sure to inspect the stroller for signs of wear before buying it.

Weight

When looking for a compact double stroller, parents must be aware of the amount they wish to spend and if it's a good fit for their family's lifestyle. For instance, a lightweight stroller might not provide enough space to store bulky 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 journeys.

The best double strollers are sturdy and easy to move that helps ensure that the children remain comfortable in their seats and don't move around while riding. Strollers with cushioned seatbacks and adjustable leg rests get higher scores in our tests of comfort than those that do not have. The best double strollers also provide reclining seating options that allow kids to relax on long walks.

Innovative designs and thoughtful features have made strollers that can be used in many ways more popular than ever. Some of the most effective options are able to accommodate multiple car seat installation and offer a wide range of seating options from infant to preschool. Some are so light that they can be used for jogging or for travel.

When choosing a small double stroller, it is important to know if the stroller will fit through narrow doors and other spaces. Most older models of side-by-side strollers and tandem strollers have an overall wideness which makes them incompatible with the majority of doors. The best double strollers are typically smaller than the standard models, and are able to be pushed through most doors.

You should also consider whether you need a stroller with additional features such as an holder for your cup and a snack tray. These are useful for longer trips, but they can add to the total weight and cost of the double stroller.

Folding

A small double stroller is designed to fold compactly, fitting easily into tight spaces and making it easy to store. Its lightweight design makes it easy to carry and maneuver.

Before you decide on a small double stroller consider where you'll use it and how often. The answer to these questions will help you decide the features that are the most important. If you plan to run in the stroller, you'll want one with an easy suspension so that it can glide over rough roads and uneven terrain.

Take into consideration the age and temperament of your children too. If they're of the same age, a side by side stroller might be the best option. However, if they're at different stages of development then a tandem model may be better suited for your requirements.

A double stroller may be expensive, but it's an investment that will pay off in the long term. A high-quality model that meets your family's needs will make traveling with kids easier. It will also provide you and your children with years of convenience.

If you have limited storage space, you might want to consider a small double stroller that can accommodate both infant car seats and toddlers. The Evenflo Pivot Xplore Wagon is a great choice for families with two small children and can hold twins. It has two canopy options, a storage bin that attaches, and a tray for the child with cup holders. This lightweight, budget-friendly stroller folds easily and can be carried with only one hand. It is worth pointing out that the majority of double infant strollers modular strollers require you to remove the second seat before folding them.

Maneuverability

The best small double strollers are easy to maneuver and have smooth, responsive wheels that glide across all types of surfaces. They also have comfortable, reclining seats and ample storage space for children's gear. In addition they can accommodate car seat carriers and infant toddler seats. These features make them an ideal choice for families who want a single stroller that can grow with their family.

Alli Cavasino, a certified child passenger safety technician who provides parents with advice on travel gear and strollers, recommends choosing a lightweight twin stroller that is easy for children to push. She warns that heavy strollers can cause frame fatigue and injuries. "If your stroller feels heavy and difficult to push, think about adding a ride-along deck or reducing 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 accommodate two infant car seats or toddler seats simultaneously and converts to a three-seat configuration with the help of the RumbleSeat. It also comes with a fashionable inline design with foam-filled tires that won't flatten, as well as an adjustable handbar that telescopically adjusts. Its seat buckles are among the easiest to unfasten and fasten, and its generous UPF 50+ sunshades come with peekaboo windows.

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

Safety

The best double strollers are equipped with multiple safety features. They have adjustable handlebars that provide an ergonomic grip, as well as a wide base so it won't fall over when children get out of their seats. They also have large canopy that cover both kiddos in even rainstorms. They're also simple to use, says Alli Cavasino, a certified child passenger safety technician. "Look for an easy one- or two-step fold that is easy to carry and has a space where the straps can be placed," she says.

The narrowest double strollers that are compact can fit through doors with ease, which is a huge benefit for those with a small car or limited living space. The smallest models are considerably lighter than normal double strollers, making them easy to move from one place to another--no more straining your arms and back when you carry a heavy stroller over your shoulder.

Parents who have kids who are close to their age can consider the side-by-side stroller, such as our top pick one, the Joovy Kooper X2, which includes two child seats which can be adjusted for recline and width separately. In our tests, we discovered that the seats were very comfortable, and the reclining was quick and intuitive. Each seat has only one lever. It also has a huge storage basket, a one-step linked parking brake (to reduce hand fatigue while stopping), and some of the best harnesses in our tests.

If you have kids far from each other in terms of age, then a sit-and-stand stroller, like our top pick, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, could be a good fit. It can accommodate two infant car seats, and it also has two modified seats that serve as bassinets.
