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

Whether you're taking your toddler out for a walk or jogging with your twins, having the best double stroller will make it easier for everyone to get around. However, finding one that is easy to push and fold is essential.

Our Lab experts recommend side-by-side models that have equal recline, plenty of storage and car seat adapters to fit infants.

Seating

Seating options are crucial when choosing a double-stroller. You may want to think about a tandem stroller that allows one child to stand while the other one sits, or a side by side model that lets your children sit together.

The seating arrangement also affects your comfort while walking through busy streets and sidewalks. Consider looking for a stroller with reclined seats, footrests that recline and generous canopies that provide shade for both of the passengers. Avoid hanging bags from the handlebars, as they can alter the stroller's centre of gravity, double Pram and pushchair causing it to tip.

Double strollers that are of good quality will also come with convenient storage compartments for your essentials. Look for storage spaces under the seats or behind the seats. These are great places to store snacks, toys, and other essentials. You can also make use of organizer bags and consoles for parents affixed to the handles of the car to keep items handy during walks or outings.

For parents with children close in age, a side-by-side stroller might be the best choice. They tend to be more stable and offer better visibility for both of the passengers than strollers that stack. Some options also accept two infant car seats that allow you to transfer your sleeping kids from the car to the stroller and not wake them.

Sit-and-stand models are a good option for parents with older children who don't mind their children sitting separately and who like some freedom. They can also allow a larger child to ride in the front. This kind of double stroller generally isn't compatible with newborns and may require more maintenance as years go by, however it's an excellent option for families with active children who want the versatility of a single stroller that converts to a two-kid version.

The best double strollers are durable and easy to maneuver, even on rough terrain or in tight spaces. They're also light and fold for compact stowing in your trunk or garage which makes them easy to transport and manage while traveling. They are also built to last and meet the safety standards of the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP).

Canopy

A canopy protects both the passenger and the sun's rays, and some models also come with the option of a visor that can further protect kids' faces. Our top-scoring canopy options were the BOB Revolution Flex v3.0 Duallie, and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Dual. Both come with huge shades. Both models have ample coverage and cover children from head to toe while inline models often lack shade or have a single canopy that only covers one seat. This could be a problem for siblings who need different levels of protection.

A good canopy should also be able to fit comfortably on the lightweight stroller, and a lot of our top-rated models accomplish that. Check the dimensions of the canopy prior to buying, as some may require additional space to extend fully and avoid hitting the handles.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that includes a bassinet and car seat adapters as well as other accessories that give them more options in the future. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double, for example, comes with an infant seat as well as an additional RumbleSeat. This makes it an ideal option for families with twins or small children and require transportation at the same time. This stroller is a versatile model that offers the unique sit and stand configuration for older children who prefer to ride on their own.

Other accessories that can make your stroller more functional include parent consoles and bags for organizing, which can help keep things in reach. These bags are particularly useful when you need to keep snacks and toys away from the view of. Some of these accessories are attached via a strap or snap that makes it simple to take them off when you're ready for the stroller to be used again.

If you're looking to make investing in a long-term plan consider a double stroller compatible with infant car seats. It can also grow into a toddler stroller complete with the option of a bench seat or a glider board. Both the Graco Travel System RoomFor2 and UPPAbaby's Vista Duallie feature a bassinet that is compatible with car seats, a toddler's seat and a RumbleSeat. Both can be converted into a triple stroller with the addition of a running board which is perfect for families with an active child who is active.

Wheels

The type of wheels that a stroller comes with makes a difference in how it is easy to push. Generally speaking, larger wheels are easier to maneuver and are able to handle more terrain. The material that the wheels are made from also determines how easy or hard they are to push. Rubber wheels, for instance, are typically more durable and are able to withstand rougher surfaces than plastic wheels.

Stroller wheels come in a variety of styles sizes, dimensions and materials that can meet the needs of a variety of people and conditions. For instance, swivel wheel can help navigate narrow spaces and make tight turns. Fixed-wheels offer more stability and are ideal for smooth surfaces. If you plan to use your stroller on uneven terrain or off-road, air-filled tires are a better option than standard rubber tires. These tires are similar to bicycle tires, and absorb shocks to provide better comfort on the road.

Double strollers that are side-by-side are more spacious than tandem models and can be more difficult to navigate through narrow doors or crowded aisles. However, they offer your children equal seating and let them stretch their legs. They're generally also more maneuverable and easy to steer than tandem strollers.

If you want to use your stroller to run or bike consider double joggers that have all-terrain or jogging tires. They are larger, more robust and feature sealed ball bearings for a smoother ride over uneven surfaces. Certain models, such as the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller are compatible with car seats, which allow you to jog with your children securely strapped to their car seats.

Other strollers that are all-terrain and jogging like the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X accept a second child in front but are too bulky to qualify as umbrella doubles. And in our testing the restraint buckles of this model were among the most difficult to secure, which could be a challenge when trying to fit two kids in the stroller at the same time. The stroller is more expensive than the top single to tandem model, but it comes with high-quality materials as well as a reasonable resale price.

Stores

A quality double stroller will have enough storage space for the children as well as the parents. Insufficient storage can make it difficult for parents to complete errands or take all the necessary equipment on an outing with two children. In our Lab tests we found that the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double performed excellently in this metric it has a large and easy-to-access basket that can hold up to 30lbs.

Strollers with multiple compartments or pockets can help families keep track of small items, like phones, keys and wallets. A parent console or organizer bag that attaches to the handlebars of the stroller could be a convenient way for parents to store their personal belongings when out with their children.

Along with a spacious basket The UPPAbaby Vista also has two infant car seats (though not both bassinets) and also has a telescoping handlebar as well as brakes that are easy to use. It also has the biggest weight capacity in our line-up and a fold that fits most standard door frames.

On the other hand, our testers found that the wagon-style Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite has an excellent handlebar that can be adjusted, perfect for parents of different heights. The wagon has two UV screens that fold down to ensure complete sun protection, and its cup holders as well as snack tray can be used to hold a variety of kid's bottles and snacks.

The biggest issue with any stroller is folding it and bringing it back to its original shape after use. This is especially the case for those who have a baby or toddler with you. It's essential to pick one that folds quickly and smoothly. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand both have an easy-to-use, single-handed mechanism that allows parents to quickly and efficiently fold their stroller, no matter which configuration they're in.

Double strollers might seem like an expensive investment however, parents who intend to use it for a number of years will be paying more than single strollers. Also, you should consider whether the stroller can be disassembled for storage and transportation. This is essential in the event that you only have a small amount of space in your home or vehicle.
