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

A good double stroller will allow you to move around, whether you're walking with your toddler or running with your twins. It's important to find one that's easy to fold and push is a must.

Our Lab experts recommend side-by-side models that have equal recline, ample storage space and car seat adapters that can fit infants.

Seating

When looking for a double stroller, the seating options are crucial. You may want to consider a tandem stroller that lets one child stand while the other sits or a side by side model that lets your children sit together.

Seating configurations can also impact your comfort when you're navigating busy sidewalks and streets. You should consider strollers with reclined seats, footrests that recline and generous canopies that provide shade for both of the passengers. Beware of hanging bags from handlebars, as they can alter the stroller's centre of gravity, causing it to tip.

Double strollers of high-quality will also have convenient storage compartments for your essentials. Check for compartments in the seat backs or beneath the seats to keep toys, snacks and other essentials in one place. You can also make use of organizer bags and consoles for parents attached to the handles of the car to keep items in your hand on walks or outings.

If you have children nearing their age A stroller with a side-byside design could be the best travel pushchair choice. They tend to be more stable and provide better visibility for both of the passengers than strollers that stack. Some models can accommodate two infants in a car seats, which allows you to move your sleeping children from the car to the pram and not wake them.

Sit-and stand Toddler Stroller models are a great option for toddler stroller parents with older children who don't mind their kids sitting in separate places and want a little independence. They can also permit a larger child to ride in the front. This type of double stroller usually isn't newborn-compatible and might require more maintenance as the years pass by, but it's an excellent option for active families that want the versatility of an individual stroller that converts to a two-kid version.

The most effective double strollers are robust and easy to maneuver even in a rough terrain or tight spaces. They're also light and fold for compact stowing in your trunk or garage, making them easy to transport and manage when traveling. They are made to last and meet the safety guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP).

Canopy

A canopy helps protect both the passengers and the sun's rays. Some models come with an visor to further protect kids' faces. Our top-scoring models for canopy options were the BOB Revolution Flex v3.0 Duallie, and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Dual. Both have huge shades. They both offer plenty of coverage and cover kids from head to knee, whereas inline options tend to skimp on the shade or offer only a single canopy that covers one seat, which is problematic for siblings who want different levels of protection.

The majority of our top-rated canopys fit onto strollers with ease. Be sure to verify the model's dimensions before you purchase, as certain canopy may require additional space in the basket for full extension and to ensure that the handles don't get hit when they're folded.

Some parents prefer a double stroller with a bassinet and car seat adapters, as well as other accessories that give them more options in the future. For example, the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double features a toddler seat and an additional RumbleSeat, making it a perfect choice for families with twins or young children who might require the transport of more than two kids at once. This versatile stroller also offers a unique sit-and-stand configuration for older children who prefer to ride on their own.

The organizer bags and consoles for parents can help your stroller be more efficient. They keep essentials close in your reach. They're especially useful for strollers that don't get used often or when you want to keep snacks and toys away from prying hands. Some of these accessories are secured via a strap or snap, making it easy to take them off when you're ready for the stroller to be used again.

If you're planning on a long-term investment consider a double stroller that is compatible with infant car seats and will be converted into a toddler stroller complete with a bench seat or glider board. The Graco RoomFor2 Travel System and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Duallie both come with an auto seat-compatible bassinet, toddler seat and RumbleSeat. Both are able to be expanded to a triple stroller by the addition of a running board, which is perfect for active families with one child who is active.

Wheels

The kind of wheels a stroller comes with makes an impact on how it is to push. In general, larger wheels are easier to maneuver and can handle more terrain. The material that the wheels are made from also plays a role in how hard or easy they are to push. Rubber wheels, for example, are typically more durable and are able to withstand rougher surfaces than plastic ones.

Stroller wheels come in various styles, sizes, and materials to meet a range of environments and needs. For instance, swivel wheels aid in maneuvering narrow spaces and make tight turns. Fixed-wheels offer more stability and are ideal for smooth surfaces. If you intend to use your stroller on uneven terrain or off-road air-filled tires are more suitable than standard rubber tires. These tires are similar to bicycle tires that absorb shocks to provide better comfort on the road.

Double strollers that are side-byside are larger than tandem strollers and can be more difficult to navigate through narrow doors or in crowded aisles. But they give your children the same amount of space and allow them to 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 it as a double jogger, you need to choose one with all-terrain tires or jogging wheels. These tires are bigger and more robust, and also have sealed ball bearings that provide an easier ride on rough surfaces. Certain models, such as the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller, are compatible with car seats which let you jog with your children safely strapped in their car seats.

Other all-terrain/jogging strollers like the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X can accommodate a second child in the front, but are too heavy to qualify as umbrella doubles. In our tests the restraint buckles of this model were among the toughest to secure, which could be a challenge when trying to get two kids into the stroller at once. The stroller is costly with a price that is hundreds higher than our top single-to tandem model, but it comes with top-quality materials and an excellent resale value.

Stores

A good double stroller will have enough storage space to accommodate the children as well as the parents. Insufficient storage can make it hard for a parent to run errands or bring all the equipment needed on an outing with two kids. In our Lab tests we found that the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double did very well in this measurement, with a large and easily accessible basket that can accommodate up to 30 pounds.

Strollers that have pockets or compartments that are multiple can aid families in keeping track of small items, like keys, phones, and wallets. A parent console or organizer bag that can be attached to the stroller's handlebars can be a convenient way for parents to store their personal belongings while outing with their children.

The UPPAbaby vista has a large basket and can carry two car seats for infants. (Not both bassinets, though.) It also comes with an adjustable telescoping bar as well as brakes that are simple to use. It also has one of the biggest max allowable seat weight ratings in our collection, and an easy fold that fits through most standard door frames.

On the flip side our test participants found that the wagon-style Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite has an adjustable handlebar that is perfect for parents of different heights. The wagon has two UV screens that fold down to provide complete sun protection and its cup holders and snack tray can accommodate various bottles for kids and snacks.

The biggest issue with any stroller is folding it and bringing it back in shape after using. This is especially the case if you have a toddler or infant with you. It's the reason it's essential to select a stroller that has a smooth and easy fold. Both the UPPAbaby Vista v2 stroller and Evenflo Pivot Xpand have a single-handed, simple-to-use mechanism that allows parents fold their stroller quickly and efficiently, no matter the configuration they're in.

Double strollers may seem like an investment that's expensive, but parents who plan to use it for many 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 if you only have limited space in your home or vehicle.
