How to Choose the Best Double Stroller

There are a lot of options when it comes to 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.

Look for a stroller that's fairly easy to push, fold and carry. You should consider a stroller that can fit two infant car seat or a toddler who has a riderboard.

Safety

Look for a double-stroller that comes with all-terrain tires and a brake that can be operated with a hand if you want to keep the kids safe when walking. These wheels and brake help you navigate trails as well as sidewalks, gravel, and other paths without your children falling or rolling away. The best double strollers offer ample storage space to store items for your kids, including snacks and toys.

The first step to choosing the right double stroller is to figure out how old your children are and how far apart they are. A majority of double strollers are designed to accommodate one child seat, but the ones that do come in a variety of configurations so you can select the seating option that best fits your kids and your lifestyle.

Side-byside doubles are a popular option, and are great for children of similar ages who want to interact with each other. Some double-decker designs allow you to put one seat above the other, or even attach a riderboard to older siblings. Newborns can be tucked into a bassinet, which is attached to the frame, or as an independent attachment that offers an unobstructed view of your baby. If you have twins or are expecting twins, a twin stroller is the way to go.

For families that are more adventurous consider a double stroller that is able to handle off-road terrain or even hiking. Many of these strollers have been designed with active parents in mind, and come with features that let you take your children to any adventure, no matter how rough the road or how steep the climbs may 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. For instance this jogging stroller comes with a wrist loop for your child so you can be sure that they're safe when you run downhill or at speeds that are higher. It also has a full-coverage canopy with ventilation so your kids stay comfortable during the summer heat.

If you're looking to purchase a light compact double stroller take a look at this model by Joovy. It weighs in at just over 23 pounds, making it lighter than some single strollers and perfect for air travel or storage in overhead compartments or trunks. Plus, it has a large storage basket and a parking brake that is linked in one step that is easy to use.

Seating

Unlike the behemoth strollers of the past, today's double strollers are sleek and support an array of configurations that can be adapted to families. Some work as traditional side-by-side strollers while others - like the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double Stroller--work as a base that car seats, toddler seats or bassinets snap into. They are available in a range of sizes and weights to accommodate children from newborns through kindergarten.

A good double stroller should be a breeze to move and fold, as well as permitting you to alter the handlebar's height to make sure you're in a comfortable position throughout your trips. A great handlebar should be easy to hold and should allow you to walk with proper form (ask other parents for tips on this). It should also have various storage options that will accommodate everything you need for your children.

If your twins are of a similar age and are in the same age group, a tandem stroller might be the best choice for your family. These strollers have seats that are side-by-side which means you can interact with them both while keeping an eye on both of them at the same. They also recline separately so that one child can sleep while the other is ready to go.

The downside of a twin stroller could be that it's wider than one designed that is designed for a single occupant. This could make it difficult to navigate narrow doorways, store aisles or sidewalks. For certain families, the advantages are worth the extra size and effort.

If you're looking for a compact double stroller the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double is a great choice. Its shock absorbers, streamlined design, and capacity for two infant car seats, plus an optional running board for older children -- make it a great option for city-living.

A wagon-style double stroller, such as the Delta Children LX Stroller Side-by-Side is another option. This basic model comes with lots of space for seating and storage, as well as 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 do not recline fully flat, which makes it difficult for little children to reach their snack trays or to relax.

Ease of Use

A double Stroller with bassinet stroller can be an investment of a large amount and one you're hoping to use for years. If you are looking for a double stroller, make sure that it is easy to use and clean. The best double strollers have been developed to be user-friendly and have many convenient features.

For starters, all the strollers we tested fold up easily and compactly (with just one hand!). These strollers are lightweight and ideal for traveling. They can fit in most trunks and can be checked for gate-checking on planes. Additionally, the majority of our testers reported that their strollers folded down to smaller dimensions than their single to double stroller-seat counterparts, and some even included the option of carrying a strap for carrying.

If you're looking for a versatile double stroller that will adapt to your family's needs Look no further than the Valco Snap Duo Trend. This side-by-side stroller works with infant car seats, a bassinet, and other accessories, so you can use it from birth to the age of preschool.

The Joovy twin pushchair Roo is another option that's highly praised. It is light and extremely compact, measuring just 22 lbs and 26 inches wide when it's folded. The front seat reclines to a flat stance, and the back seat can be adjusted to suit every child. There's a huge storage basket and a simple, one-step linked parking brake which makes this stroller simple to move and use.

The only drawbacks of the Joovy twin strollers for newborns Roo are minor and specific to this model. Kerry says that the packaging was enjoyable and clever, but that it was also packaged in five boxes, which can be an inconvenience to carry around. She also found the Genuis magnetic clasp to be a bit clunky and it took a while before she could master it. She was satisfied with the stroller in the end and would recommend it.

Storage

Strollers come in a variety of sizes and shapes, ranging from side-by-side doubles to tandem (single-file seating) designs, and many allow you to modify your layout with a bassinet, or car seat attachment. Some come with rider boards that can be added to accommodate older children. There are many different types of rider boards. Some are light and easy to use while others are bulky, heavy and difficult to fold.

If you are looking for a stroller that is light that can hold two kids, the Joovy Caboose Graphite is a great option. It was the lightest choice in our tests, weighing around 23 pounds and is also easy to fold, yet it has all the features parents require for a fun outing with two kids.

The Vista v2 double from UPPAbaby is another model our testers loved. They were particularly impressed by its sleek design and user-friendly. It can accommodate two infant car seats, a toddler seat, and a bassinet with no adapters needed. The rear seat can be removed to create a quad or triple stroller. It comes with a large basket for storage and can be upgraded with an organizer for parents as well as all-terrain tires as well with side storage bags.

Billingsley says that the best double stroller for a toddler is one with various options for customization. This includes a seat or a bassinet that can be removed. This is due to toddlers having limited endurance, and a stroller with the bassinet attachment can provide them with a safe spot to take a nap. The expert says that a double stroller should also have a good harness and recline position and plenty of storage space for toys and snacks.

The ZOE Twin+ is popular among parents due to its lightweight and versatility. It's gate-check-friendly for airlines it can be accessed through all doors (without having to remove the front wheels) and expands into a quad or triple stroller that has an additional tandem seat. The nearly flat, independently reclined seats and extra-long, adjustable sun canopies are just a few of the highlights. A spacious underseat basket and the inclusion of cup holders for both parents and children make up the impressive set of features. One downside, according to Taylor, is that it doesn't have a small profile when folded and can be difficult to store.
