How to Choose the Best Double Stroller

There are a variety of options when it comes to double strollers. Katie Billingsley, a child development expert and mother, was able to help us select the best one for you.

Find a stroller that's relatively easy to fold, push and carry. You should consider a stroller that can hold two infant car seats or a toddler that has a riderboard.

Safety

If you want to keep your children safe on your walks, look for a double stroller with features like all-terrain tires as well as a hand-operated brake. These wheels and brake aid you in traversing trails as well as sidewalks, gravel, and other paths without the risk of your children sliding or slipping away. The best double strollers offer plenty of storage space to store equipment and essentials for kids like snacks and toys.

The best double stroller for your family begins by determining how old and far apart in age your kids are. Many double strollers only accommodate one child seat, but those do come with different configurations, so you can pick the seating option that is most suitable for your children and your lifestyle.

Side-by-side doubles are a classic choice, and they're perfect for kids of similar ages that like to be social with one another. Certain models feature a double-decker style, allowing you to place one seat above the other or attach an extra rider board for older siblings. Babies can be placed in a bassinet, which is attached to the frame or in a standalone attachment that gives you an unobstructed view of your baby. If you are expecting twins or already have twins, then a twin stroller will be the best option.

Choose a stroller with two wheels that can handle off-road terrain, and even hiking. Many of these strollers were designed with active parents in mind, and include features that allow you to take your children on any adventure, no matter how rough the terrain or how steep the climb might be.

In addition to all-terrain tires the top double strollers come with thoughtful features that make getting around difficult terrain and weather more enjoyable. This jogging stoller, for example, has wrist loops so that you can ensure your child's safety while going downhill at a higher speed or in harsh weather conditions. It also has an all-over canopy that's ventilated to keep your children cool in the summer heat.

This model is a light and compact double stroller from Joovy. It weighs less than 23lbs. It's perfect for air travel and storage in trunks or overhead compartments. Plus, it has a huge storage basket and a parking brake that is linked in one step that is simple to use.

Seating

Double strollers today are sleeker and can be configured in a variety of ways to suit your family. Some double strollers can be used as side-byside models, while others, such as the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Dual Stroller can be used as a base for car seats, toddler seats as well as bassinets. They are available in a range of widths and weights that can accommodate children from newborns to kindergarten.

A good double stroller must be a breeze to move and fold, while permitting you to adjust the handlebar's height to make sure you're able to walk comfortably throughout your excursions. A great handlebar should be comfortable to grip, and it should invite you to walk in a proper form (ask other parents for advice on this). It should also provide a variety of storage options that will accommodate all the essentials you'll need for your children.

If your twins are close in age, you might find a tandem stroller works best for your family. The seats on these models are placed together, allowing you to engage with them both and keep an eye on them simultaneously. They can also recline separately so that one child can sleep while the other is awake and ready to go.

The drawback of a twin stroller is that it can be larger than a single-occupant model and can make it difficult to maneuver around the aisles of shops, sidewalks and narrow doors. But for certain families, the advantages are worth the extra size and effort.

If you are looking for a small double-stroller, then the UPPAbaby V2 Double is an excellent alternative. Its shock absorption, sleek design, and capacity for two infant car seats--plus an optional running board for mobile older children--make it an ideal choice for city living.

Another alternative is a wagon-style double stroller, such as the Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller. This bare-bones model offers a lot of seating space and storage, plus sturdy wheels that can handle any terrain. It also has an umbrella with 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. Some parents complain that the seats are too low and can't recline to a fully flat position, which makes it difficult for children of smaller sizes to sit comfortably or reach their snack trays.

Simple to Use

Double strollers are typically a large investment that you will use for many years. When choosing a stroller you must ensure that it's easy to use and clean. Luckily, the most effective double strollers are designed to be as user-friendly as they can and come with plenty of useful features for parents.

All the strollers that we tested could be folded easily and compactly using just one hand. They're also lightweight, making them ideal for traveling. Many of them can be gate checked on airplanes and fit in most trunks. Furthermore, the majority our test subjects found that their strollers folded down to smaller dimensions than the single seat models, and some even came with a carry strap for convenient carrying.

If you're looking for a versatile double stroller that can grow with your family take a look at the Valco Snap Duo Trend. This side-byside stroller works with infant car seats and other accessories. It can be used from birth to the age of preschool. Each seat features a 5-point harness with a large canopy, as well as plenty of sun protection.

Another highly-regarded option is the Joovy Twin Roo. The stroller is light and incredibly compact, measuring just 22 pounds and 26 inches wide when it's folded. The front seat reclines almost to a flat position, and the back seat can be adjusted to fit every child. There's a large storage basket and an easy, one-step linked parking brake that makes this stroller simple to move and use.

The only negatives of the Joovy Twin Roo were minor and specific to the model in question. Kerry says that the packaging is innovative and fun, however it comes in five boxes, which can be a little cumbersome to carry around. She also noticed that Genuis's magnetic buckle was a little difficult to master. She was happy with the stroller, however, and would recommend it.

Stores

Strollers are available in various sizes and designs and styles, including tandems (single-file seating) as well as side-by-side doubles and many that allow you to customize the setup with a car seat or bassinet attachment. Some have even added rider boards for older children. They're not created equal. Some are light and easy to use while others are heavy, bulky and difficult to fold.

If you're looking for a Lightweight Twin Buggy double stroller, take a look at the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite. It was the lightest choice in our tests at close to 23 lbs and is also easy to fold, but it has all the features parents require to have a great time out with two kids.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double is a different model that our testers loved particularly for its sleek design and ease of use. It can accommodate two infant car seats, a toddler's seat, and a bassinet with no adapters needed. The rear seat can also be removed to make it triple or quad stroller. It comes with a large basket for storage, and it can be upgraded by adding an organizer for parents as well as all-terrain tires, as well as storage bags for the sides.

Billingsley says that the most suitable double stroller for a toddler is one with numerous options for customization. This includes a bassinet or seat that can be removed. This is due to toddlers having limited endurance, and having a stroller that has the bassinet attachment can provide them with a safe space to nap. She suggests that a double stroller must also have a comfortable harness and recline position and plenty of storage space for toys and snacks.

The ZOE Twin+ is a popular choice among parents because of its light weight and versatility. It is airline gate-check friendly and fits through the majority of doorways (without removing the wheels on the front) and can be made to a triple or quad stroller by adding an extra tandem. Its nearly flat, independently reclined seats, extra-long sun canopies and footrests that can be adjusted are other highlights, while its spacious underseat storage basket and inclusion of parent and kid cup holders complete the impressive list of features. Taylor states that the only downside is that it has a large profile when folded, and it can be difficult for parents to stow.
