How to Choose the Best Double Stroller

If you're looking for a double stroller, there are a lot of options. To help you choose the best one for your family, we talked to experts in child development as well as mom Katie Billingsley.

Find a stroller that's relatively easy to fold, push and carry. Also, consider a stroller that's versatile enough to accommodate two infant car seats or a toddler along with an adult rider board.

Safety

Find a double-stroller that includes all-terrain wheels as well as a brake that is operated by hand if want to keep the kids safe when walking. These wheels and brake aid you in traversing trails as well as sidewalks, gravel, and other paths without your children falling or rolling off. The best double strollers come with plenty of storage space for gear and kid-sized necessities like snacks and toys.

Selecting the best double stroller for your family begins by understanding how old and distant in age your kids are. A majority of double strollers are designed to allow one child seat, but those that do come in different configurations, so you can choose the seat that is most suitable for your children and your lifestyle.

Side-by-side doubles are an iconic option, and they're great for kids of similar ages who want to play with one another. Some double-decker designs allow you to put one seat over the other, or attach a riderboard for older siblings. Newborns can either be snuggled in a bassinet attached to the frame or in an attachment that allows you to play peek-a-boo with your baby. If you have twins or are expecting twins, a dedicated twin stroller is the best way to go.

Look for a double-wheeled stroller that is capable of handling off-road terrain and even hiking. A lot of these strollers were designed with active parents in mind and include features that allow you to take your kids on any adventure, regardless of how rough the path or how high the climbs may be.

In addition to all-terrain tires, the best double strollers have clever features that make traversing difficult terrain and weather a lot easier. This jogging stoller for instance, features a wrist loop so that you can make sure your child is safe when running downhill at higher speeds or in adverse weather conditions. It also has a full-coverage canopy that is ventilated to keep your children cool in the summer heat.

This model is a light and compact double stroller from Joovy. It weighs just over 23 pounds, making it lighter than most single strollers, and ideal for air travel or storing in overhead compartments or trunks. Plus, it has a huge storage basket and an integrated parking brake that is easy to use.

Seating

In contrast to the massive strollers of old the modern double stroller with infant car seat strollers are sleek and can accommodate various designs to accommodate families. Some double car seat stroller strollers are designed to 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, toddlers seats and bassinets. They are available in a range of widths and weights that can accommodate children from newborns through kindergarten.

A good double stroller must be a breeze to move and fold, while also permitting you to alter the handlebar's height to make sure you're in a comfortable position throughout your trips. A good handlebar is comfortable to hold and should inspire you to walk in a logical manner (ask for tips from other parents). It should come with a variety of storage options to accommodate all the necessities your children will require.

If your twins are close in age, you may find a tandem stroller works best for your family. These models come with seats that are side-by-side, which means you can interact with them both and keep an eye on both of them at the same time. They can also recline independently, so one child can nap and the other is ready to go.

The downside of a twin stroller can be that it's wider than a model for a single-occupant. This could make it difficult to maneuver narrow doorways, store aisles or even sidewalks. For some families, however the benefits are well worth the extra effort and size.

If you are looking for a compact double-stroller, then the UPPAbaby V2 Double is a great option. Its shock absorbers, streamlined design and capacity for two infant car seats - plus an optional running board for 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 heavy-duty wheels that manage any terrain. It also has a canopy that has 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. But some parents say the seats are too low and they don't recline completely to a flat position, which makes it difficult for small children to sit comfortably or reach their snack tray.

Easy of Use

A double stroller can be an investment you're hoping to use for years. If you are looking for a double stroller, make sure it is easy to use and clean. Luckily, the most effective double strollers are designed to be as user-friendly as they can and come with a wide array of useful features for parents.

To start, all the strollers we tested fold easily and compactly (with just one hand!). They're also lightweight, making them ideal for travel. Many of them fit in the majority of trunks and can be checked at the gate on planes. Most of our testers also found that their strollers can be folded down to a smaller size than single to double pushchair-seat versions. Some even had a carry strap.

If you're looking for a flexible double stroller that can adapt to your family's needs take a look at the Valco Snap Duo Trend. This side-byside stroller is compatible with infant car seats as well as other accessories. It can be used from birth up to preschool age. Each seat features five-point harnesses and a large canopy. It also offers plenty of sun protection.

Another option that is highly regarded is the Joovy Twin Roo. The stroller is light, compact and only 22 pounds when folded. The front seat reclines almost to the full flat position and the back seat has an adjustable recline for every child. This stroller is easy to operate and maneuver due to its large storage basket, easy one-step parking brake, and large storage basket.

The only downsides of the Joovy Twin Roo were minor and specific to this particular model. Kerry says that the packaging is innovative and fun, but it comes in five boxes which could be a bit cumbersome to carry around. She also found that Genuis's magnetic buckle was a little clunky and took some time to master. In the end, however, she was very happy with her stroller and would highly recommend it.

Stores

Strollers come with a variety of shapes and sizes, from tandems with side-by-side doubles to tandem (single-file seating) styles, plus many allow you to modify your layout with a bassinet or car seat attachment. Some have even added rider boards for older siblings. There are many different types of rider boards. Some are lightweight and easy to use while others are heavy, bulky and difficult to fold.

If you are looking for a lightweight stroller that can fit 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 require for a fun outing with two kids.

The Vista v2 double from UPPAbaby is another model that our testers loved. They especially liked its sleek design and easy-to-use. It can accommodate two infant car seats, a toddler 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 and all-terrain tires, as well with side storage bags.

Billingsley states that the best double stroller for a toddler is one that has multiple customization options, like the ability to remove a seat or a bassinet. This is because toddlers typically have limited endurance, and the stroller with the bassinet attachment can give them a safe place to nap. She says a double stroller should have a good harness system and recline positions, and plenty of storage room for toys and snacks.

The ZOE Twin+ is popular with parents due to its lightness and versatility. It is airline gate-check friendly, fits through most doorways (without taking off the wheels at the front), and can be expanded to a triple or quad stroller by adding an extra tandem. Its nearly-flat, independently reclining seats, extra-long sun canopy and adjustable footrests are additional highlights, while its spacious underseat storage basket as well as the inclusion of kid and parent cup holders complete the impressive set of features. The only downside according to Taylor the manufacturer, is that it doesn't have a the smallest profile when folded and can be difficult to store.
