How to Choose the Best Double Stroller

There are a lot of options in the field of double strollers. Katie Billingsley, a child development expert and mother, helped us select the best one for you.

You should look for a stroller which is easy to fold and push to carry. Also, consider a stroller that's versatile enough to accommodate two infant car seats or a toddler as well as an adult rider board.

Safety

Find a double-stroller that includes all-terrain wheels as well as a brake that is operated with a hand if you want to keep your kids safe when walking. These wheels and brakes allow you to navigate paths and dirt without worrying about your children falling or rolling. The best double strollers offer ample storage space to store equipment and essentials for kids like snacks and toys.

Choosing the right double stroller for your family starts by determining how old and far apart in terms of age your children are. Most double strollers only accommodate one child seat. However, those that do come with a variety of configurations that let you pick the seating that is best for your family.

The classic doubles are ideal for children of similar ages that are keen to interact. Some models have a double-decker style, allowing the user to place one seat above the other or even attach an extra rider board for older siblings. Newborns can either be snuggled in a bassinet that is 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.

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

In addition to all-terrain tires the top double strollers come with thoughtful features that make getting around difficult terrain and weather a lot easier. For instance this jogging stroller comes with a wrist loop for your child so you're sure they're secure when running downhill or at faster speeds. It also features 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 some single strollers, and ideal to take on air travel or for storing in trunks or overhead compartments. Additionally, it comes with a huge storage basket and an integrated parking brake that is easy to use.

Seating

In contrast to the massive strollers of the past, today's double strollers are sleek and can accommodate a variety of designs to accommodate families. Some double strollers are designed to be used as side-by-side models and others, like 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 sizes and weights to accommodate children from newborns up to kindergarten.

A good double stroller must be easy to maneuver and fold, while allowing you to adjust the handlebar's height to make sure you're comfortable throughout your outings. A well-designed handlebar should be easy to grip, and it should allow you to walk in a proper form (ask other parents for advice on this). It should come with a variety of storage options that can accommodate all the essentials your children need.

If your twins are similar in age, you might find a My Babiie MB33 Tandem Pushchair - Dani Dyer stroller works best for your family. The seats on these models sit in a row, allowing you to interact with them both and keep an eye on both of them at the same time. They also recline independently so that one child can lie down while the other is awake and ready to go.

The downside to twin strollers is that it can be wider than a single-occupant model and can make it difficult to maneuver around sidewalks, shop aisles and narrow doors. For certain families, however the benefits are worth the extra effort and size.

If you're in the market for an ultra-compact double stroller, the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double is a fantastic choice. The UPPAbaby Vista Double is an excellent choice for city living thanks to its shock absorption capabilities, sleek design, and ability to accommodate two infant car seats. It also comes with an optional running board that can be used by older children who are mobile.

Another option is a wagon-style stroller, such as the Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller. This model is bare bones however it has plenty of storage space and seating. It also has sturdy wheels that can handle any terrain. It also features a 50+ SPF canopy and adjustable handlebars. But some parents say the seats are a little too low and they don't recline completely to a flat position, making it difficult for smaller children to get comfortable or reach their snack trays.

User-Friendliness

A double stroller is often an investment of a large amount and one you're likely to use for years. When you are shopping for a double stroller, be sure it's easy to use and clean. The best double strollers have been developed to be user-friendly and include many convenient features.

For starters, all the strollers we tested folded easily and compactly (with only one hand!). These strollers are lightweight and ideal for traveling. Many of them can be gate checked on airplanes and fit into most trunks. Our testers found that their strollers can be folded down smaller than their single-seat equivalents. Some even had a carrying strap.

If you're in search of a multi-purpose double stroller that will expand with your family, look no further than the Valco Snap Duo Trend. This side-by-side stroller can be used with infant car seats and other accessories. It can be used from birth until preschool age. Each seat comes with a 5-point harness and a large canopy that provides ample protection from the sun.

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

The only downsides to the Joovy Twin Roo are minor and specific to the model. Kerry notes that the packaging was enjoyable and clever, however it was also packaged in five boxes, which can be a bit of a hassle to lug around. She also felt that the Genuis magnetic buckle was a bit awkward and took a while to master. She was happy with the stroller, however, and would recommend it.

Storage

Strollers are available in a variety of sizes and designs, including tandems (single-file seating) as well as side-by-side doubles and many that let you customize the setup with an automobile seat or bassinet attachment. Some even have add-on rider boards designed for older kids. There are many different types of rider boards. Some are lightweight and easy to use, while others are bulky, heavy and difficult to fold.

If you're looking for a lightweight double pushchair stroller, look into the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite. It was the lightest stroller in our tests, with a weight of less than 23 pounds. It folds easily and has all the features parents want for a great day out with two kids.

The Vista v2 double by UPPAbaby is another model that our test subjects 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 also be removed to make it a triple or quad stroller. It comes with a huge basket for storage, and it can be upgraded with an organizer for parents and all-terrain tires, as with side storage bags.

Billingsley says that the best double stroller for a toddler is one that supports multiple customization options, like a removable seat or bassinet. Toddlers can be limited in their endurance and strollers that have a bassinet attached will give them a safe space for them to sleep. She says a double stroller should have a good harness system and recline positions, as well as plenty of storage space for toys and snacks.

The ZOE Twin+ is a popular choice among parents because of its light weight and the versatility. It is gate-check-friendly for airlines, fits through most doorways (without removing the wheels on the front) and can be converted into a quad or triple stroller by adding an additional tandem. The nearly flat, independently reclined seats and the extra-long, adjustable sun canopies are just a few of the highlights. A large underseat basket as well as cup holders for both parents and children complete the impressive features. The only drawback according to Taylor the manufacturer, is that it doesn't have a small footprint when folded and can be difficult to stow.
