How to Choose the Best Double Stroller

If you're in the market for a double stroller there are plenty of options. Katie Billingsley, a child development expert and mother, was able to help us select the best one for you.

Choose a stroller fairly easy to push, fold and carry. Look for a model that can hold two infant car seats or a toddler with a riderboard.

Safety

Choose a double-stroller which includes all-terrain wheels as well as a brake that is operated by hand if want to ensure your children are safe when walking. These brakes and wheels help you navigate trails and gravel without your children falling or rolling. The best double strollers also come with plenty of storage space for gear as well as kids-sized items like snacks and toys.

The first step to choosing the right double stroller is to figure out the age of your children and how far apart they are. Most double strollers only accommodate one child seat. However, those that offer a variety of configurations that allow you to pick the seating that is best for your family.

Side-byside doubles are a popular option, and are great for children of similar ages that like to play with one another. Double-decker designs permit you to put one of the seats over the other, or add a riderboard to older siblings. Babies can be sat in a bassinet that is attached to the frame or in an attachment that lets you look at your baby. If you have twins or are expecting twins, a dedicated twin stroller is the way to go.

Find a double pushchair from birth-wheeled stroller that is capable of handling off-road terrain, and even hiking. A lot of these strollers have been designed with active parents in mind, and have features that allow you to take your children on any adventure, no matter how rough the path or how steep the climbs may be.

The top double strollers have intelligent features that aid in navigation in a difficult terrain or bad weather. For example, this jogging stroller includes a wrist loop for your child, so you're sure that they're safe while running downhill or at higher speeds. It also features a canopy with full coverage that is ventilated to keep your children cool during the summer heat.

If you're looking for a light, compact double stroller, take a look at this model by Joovy. It weighs less than 23lbs. It's perfect for air travel and storage in trunks or overhead compartments. It also comes with a huge storage basket and a simple one-step parking brake.

Seating

Unlike the behemoth strollers of the past, today's double strollers are sleek and can accommodate an array of configurations to fit families. Some of them function as traditional side-byside strollers while others--such as 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 are available in a variety of widths and weights to accommodate children from newborns through kindergarten.

A good double stroller must be a breeze to move and fold, as well as allowing you to adjust the handlebar height so you're able to walk comfortably throughout your excursions. A good handlebar should be easy to hold, and it should invite you to walk with proper posture (ask other parents for tips on this). It should offer a variety of storage options to accommodate all the essentials your children need.

If your twins have a similar age, a tandem stroller may be the best choice for your family. The seats on these models sit side by side, enabling you to engage with them both and keep an eye on both of them at the same time. They can also recline separately so that one child can sleep while the other is awake and ready to go.

The disadvantage of a twin stroller is that it's more spacious than a model with a single occupant and can make it difficult to navigate sidewalks, shop aisles, and narrow doorways. For some families the benefits are well worth the extra effort and size.

If you're in the market for a compact double stroller the UPPAbaby Vista Double is a great option. Its shock absorbers, streamlined design and capacity for two infant car seats, plus an optional running board for more mobile children make it a perfect option for urban living.

Another option is a wagon-style double stroller, such as the Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller. This model is bare bones but it comes with plenty of storage and seating space. It also comes with heavy-duty wheels that can tackle any terrain. It also comes with a canopy with 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. Some parents complain that the seats are too low and don't recline completely to a flat position, making it difficult for children of smaller sizes to sit comfortably or reach their snack tray.

Easy of Use

Double strollers are typically a large investment that you will use for many years. When you are shopping for one, you want to ensure that it is easy to operate and clean. Fortunately, the best double strollers are designed to be as user-friendly as possible and come with a wide array of useful features for parents.

For starters, all the strollers we tested fold up easily and compactly (with just one hand!). They are also light and are ideal for traveling. Many of them fit in the majority of trunks and can be gate-checked on airplanes. Furthermore, the majority our testers found that their strollers folded to smaller sizes than their single-seat counterparts, and some even came with a carry strap for convenient carrying.

The Valco Snap Duo trend is double stroller with a lot of versatility that will grow with your family. This side-by-side stroller can be used with infant car seats, bassinets, and other accessories, so you can use it from birth to preschool age. Each seat is equipped with a five-point harness and a large canopy that gives plenty of shade from the sun.

Another highly-regarded option is the Joovy Twin Roo. It is light compact and weighs only 22 pounds when folded. The front seat reclines almost to the full flat position and the back seat features an adjustable recline for each child. The stroller is simple to maneuver and use thanks to its large storage basket, simple one-step parking brake and large storage basket.

The only negatives of the Joovy Twin Roo are minor and specific to this model. Kerry notes that the packaging was enjoyable and clever, however it came in five boxes which can be a bit of an inconvenience to carry around. She also found the Genuis magnetic clasp to be somewhat difficult to use and it took her a while before she could master it. She was pleased with the stroller at the end and would recommend it.

Stores

strollers double come in a variety of sizes and shapes, ranging from tandem doubles that are side-by-side to (single-file seating) styles, plus many allow you to personalize your layout by adding a bassinet or a car seat attachment. Some come with rider boards designed for older kids. However, they're not all created equal. Some are sleek and easy to use, whereas others are heavy, bulky and difficult to fold or store.

If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller, look into the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite. It was the lightest stroller we tested in our tests, with a weight of just under 23 lbs. It folds easily and comes with all the features parents want for a fun day out with two kids.

UPPAbaby's Vista v2 double is another model that our testers loved. They especially liked 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 a quad or triple 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 says that the most suitable cheap double pushchair stroller to use for toddlers is one that offers multiple customization options. This includes a seat or a bassinet that can be removed. Toddlers can be weak in endurance, and a stroller that has an attached bassinet will offer a safe spot for them to rest. She suggests that a double stroller should also have a great harness and recline position and plenty of storage space for snacks and toys.

The ZOE Twin+ is popular with parents due to its light weight and versatility. It's gate-check-friendly on airlines and fits through the majority of doorways (without taking off the wheels on the front) and can be expanded to a triple or quad stroller by adding an extra tandem. The near-flat, independently reclining seats as well as the extra-long, adjustable sun canopies are among the other features. A spacious underseat basket as well as parent and child cup holders make up this impressive feature set. The only disadvantage, according to Taylor, is that it doesn't have a small footprint when folded and can be difficult to carry.
