How to Choose the Best Double Stroller

There are many options available in the field of double strollers. To help you choose the most suitable one for your family, we spoke with the expert in child development and mom Katie Billingsley.

Choose a stroller relatively easy to push, fold and carry. Also, consider a stroller that's versatile enough to accommodate two infant car seats or a toddler as well as a rider board.

Safety

If you want to keep your children secure on your walks, look for double strollers that have features like all-terrain tires and a hand-operated brake. These wheels and brakes help you navigate trails as well as sidewalks, gravel, and other paths without your children falling or rolling away. The best double strollers also come with plenty of storage space for gear and essentials for kids, such as snacks and toys.

The first step in selecting the right double stroller is to figure out the age of your children and how far apart they are. A majority of double strollers are designed to accommodate one child seat, however, those that do come in a variety of configurations so you can choose the type of seating that is most suitable for your children and your lifestyle.

The classic doubles are perfect for children of similar ages who want to play. Certain models feature a double-decker style, allowing you to put one of the seats above the other or add a rider board for older siblings. Newborns can either be snuggled in a bassinet that is attached to the frame, or in an attachment that lets you play peek-a-boo with your baby. If you have twins or are expecting twins, a twin stroller is the way to go.

For families who are more adventurous consider a double stroller that can take on off-road terrains or even hiking. A lot of these strollers were developed with active parents and their children in mind. They come with features that will let you take them on any trip, no regardless of how difficult or steep the climbs might be.

The best double strollers have intelligent features that make it easier to navigate through difficult terrain and in bad weather. This jogging stoller, for instance, features a wrist loop, so you can ensure your child's safety when running at higher speeds or in harsh weather conditions. It also features a canopy that covers the entire area and has ventilation so your kids stay cool in the summer heat.

If you're looking for a lightweight, compact double stroller, look at this model from Joovy. It weighs less than 23 pounds., making it ideal for air travel and storage in overhead compartments or trunks. It also has a large storage basket and an easy-to-use one-step parking brake.

Seating

In contrast to the massive strollers of old these double strollers are sleek and can accommodate various configurations to fit families. Some work as traditional side-by-side strollers while others - like the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double Stroller - function as a base to which car seats, toddler seats, or bassinets can be plugged into. They come in a variety of widths and weight limits, allowing children from birth through kindergarten.

A good double stroller will be easy to fold and move and allows you to adjust your handlebar height to ensure that you feel comfortable on all of your excursions. A great handlebar should be easy to hold, and it should allow you to walk with proper posture (ask parents for advice on this). It should also offer various storage options that can accommodate all the essentials you'll need for your kids.

If your twins are similar in age, you might consider a tandem stroller that works best for your family. These models come with seats that are side-byside, which means you can interact with them both while keeping an eye on each of them at the same. They can also recline independently which means that one child can rest while the other is ready to grow double stroller to go.

The disadvantage of a twin stroller may be that it is wider than one designed that is designed for a single double stroller occupant. This can make it more difficult to navigate narrow aisles for stores, doors or sidewalks. But for certain families, the advantages are worth the extra size and effort.

If you're looking for a compact double stroller, the UPPAbaby Vista Double is a great option. The UPPAbaby Vista Double is an excellent choice for city living thanks to its shock absorption capabilities, elegant design, and ability to accommodate two infant car seats. It also has an optional running board that can be used by older children who are mobile.

A wagon-style double stroller like the Delta Children LX Stroller Side-by-Side is another alternative. This bare-bones model offers plenty of seating space and storage, plus sturdy wheels that can handle any terrain. It also has a canopy with a 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. Some parents complain that the seats are too low and they don't recline completely to a flat position, making it difficult for small children to sit n stand double stroller comfortably or reach their snack tray.

Simple to use

Double strollers are usually an investment that will be using for a long time. When shopping for one, you want to make sure it will be easy to use and clean. The top double strollers are designed to be easy-to-use and come with many convenient features.

To start, all the strollers we tested fold easily and compactly (with one hand!). These strollers are lightweight double pushchair and are ideal for traveling. A lot of them can be gate checked on airplanes and fit in most trunks. Furthermore, the majority our testers found that their strollers folded to a smaller size than their single-seat counterparts and some even came with an adjustable carry strap for easy carrying.

If you're in search of a multi-purpose double stroller that can expand with your family, look no further than the Valco Snap Duo Trend. This side-by-side stroller works with infant car seats, a bassinet, and other accessories, meaning you can use it from birth until the age of preschool. Each seat has five-point harnesses, a large canopy and ample sun protection.

The Joovy Twin Roo is another option that's highly praised. This stroller is lightweight compact and weighs only 22 pounds when folded. The front seat reclines almost to a flat position, and the back seat can be adjusted to suit each child. The stroller is simple to use and maneuver thanks to its large storage basket, simple parking brake that is one step and a large storage basket.

The only negatives of the Joovy Twin Roo are minor and specific to this model. Kerry states that the packaging was enjoyable and clever, however it was also packaged in five boxes which could be trouble to carry around. She also found the Genuis magnetic clasp to be somewhat awkward and it took her some time before she could get it to work. In the end, however she was extremely pleased with this stroller and would definitely recommend it.

Storage

Strollers come with a variety of sizes and shapes, from side-by-side doubles to tandem (single-file seating) styles, plus many allow you to modify your stroller with a bassinet or car seat attachment. Some have even added rider boards for older children. They're not all created equal. Some are light and easy to use while others are heavy, bulky and difficult to fold.

If you're seeking a stroller with a light weight that can accommodate two children, the Joovy Caboose Graphite is a great choice. It was the lightest option in our tests at around 23 pounds and is also easy to fold, but it still has all of the features parents need to have a great time out with two kids.

The Vista v2 double from UPPAbaby is another model that our test subjects loved. They were particularly impressed by its sleek design and user-friendly. It can fit two infant car seats or a toddler bassinet and seat without adapters, and its rear seat can be removed to transform it into a triple or quad stroller. It comes with a large storage basket and can be upgraded to include a parent organizer, all-terrain wheels, and side storage bags.

Billingsley states that the ideal double stroller for a toddler is one that offers multiple customization options, like an adjustable seat or bassinet. Toddlers are typically weak in endurance, and strollers with an attached bassinet will offer a safe spot for them to nap. A double stroller must also come with a sturdy harness system and recline positions, and plenty of storage space for snacks and toys.

The ZOE Twin+ is popular with parents due to its lightweight and flexibility. It is airline gate-check friendly, fits through most doorways (without taking off the wheels at the front), and can be made into a quad or triple stroller by adding an additional tandem. The near-flat, independently reclining seats and extra-long sun canopies that are adjustable are among the other features. A large underseat basket as well as parent and child cup holders complete the impressive set of features. Taylor says that the only downside is that it has the largest profile when folded, and it can be difficult for parents to stow.
