Double strollers are a significant investment that you'll use for a long time. That's why it's important to choose carefully.

Our testers examined strollers that provide excellent flexibility and a smooth ride on any terrain. They also checked whether the strollers were easy to fold and move.

There are a variety of double strollers double available that include tandem, side-byside (single-file) and wagons. The category has changed from the old 1980s models that older millennials might remember. These days, they're sleek and come with a range of customizations that make traveling with children more enjoyable for all.

Parents with fewer children could opt for a single-to double-stroller, which is less complicated and more affordable. These frames are usually lighter and some moms use their stroller after their children have outgrown it.

Another advantage of a few of the tiniest double strollers we've tested is their compact fold. They can be tucked away in places that larger strollers cannot and are generally easier to maneuver when folded.

Just be sure to inspect any used stroller carefully for signs of wear and tear before purchasing one.

Weight

When looking for a compact double stroller, parents must think about how much they would like to pay and if it is a good fit for their family's lifestyle.

Consider the age and temperament of your children as well. If they are near in age, then a side-by-side stroller might be the best choice. If they are at different stages of development, then the tandem stroller might be the best choice for you.

She recommends choosing a lightweight, easy-to-push model. She warns that heavy strollers can cause frame fatigue and injuries. "If your stroller feels heavy and difficult to push, you might consider including a ride-along board, or reduce the number of children in the seat."

A few of the smaller double strollers we tried can accommodate multiple infant car seats. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double, for instance, can accommodate two infant seats or toddler seats at once and can be converted to three seats with the RumbleSeat add-on. It also comes with a fashionable inline design with foam-filled tires which won't flatten and an adjustable handbar that telescopically adjusts. Its seat belts are simple to secure and remove, and its UPF 50+ sunshades feature peekaboo windows.

Other models are available with different seating configurations. They can be used with twins, triplets, an older child and an infant or an infant riding a scooter (sold separately).

They also have large canopy that cover both kiddos in even the rain. Alli Cavasino is a certified child safety technician. She says they're simple to use.

The smallest models are also considerably lighter than normal double strollers, which makes them much easier to carry from one location to the next.

Parents of children who are older than their age could consider a side-by-side stroller like our top choice, the Joovy Kooper X2, which includes two child seats that can be adjusted for width and recline individually. We discovered that the seats were extremely comfortable, and the recline was smooth and simple. Each seat is equipped with one lever. It also comes with a large storage basket, a built-in parking brake that's one-step (to reduce fatigue in the hands when stopping) and a few of our best harnesses.

If you have kids far from each other in age, a sit-and-stand stroller, like our top choice, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, may be a good choice. It is compatible with two infant car seats and comes with two seats which function as bassinets older children. It can also be modified to accommodate the use of a riding board for a sibling who is even older.
