How to Choose the Best Double Stroller

If you're looking for a double stroller there are a variety of options. To help you select the right one for your family, we spoke with child development expert and mom Katie Billingsley.

You should choose a stroller that is easy to fold, push and carry. Consider a model that is able to accommodate two infant car seats or a toddler along with a rider board.

Safety

Find a double travel stroller-stroller that includes all-terrain wheels as well as a brake that can be operated by hand if you want to keep your kids safe when walking. These brakes and wheels help you navigate paths and dirt without worrying about your children slipping or rolling. The best double strollers come with plenty of storage space for gear and kid-sized necessities like snacks and toys.

The first step in selecting the right double stroller is to determine the age of your children and how far apart they are. Most double strollers only accommodate one child seat. However, those that do come with a variety of options that let you pick the seating that is best for your family.

The classic doubles are great for children of similar ages who are keen to interact. Some double-decker designs allow you to put one seat over the other, or attach a riderboard to older siblings. Newborns can either be snuggled in a bassinet connected 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 best option to go.

Find a double-wheeled stroller that can handle off-road terrain as well as hiking. A lot of these strollers were developed with active parents and their children in mind. They have features that let you take them on any adventure, no matter how rough or 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. For instance this stroller for jogging has a wrist loop for your child, so you can be sure they're secure when running downhill or at faster speeds. It also has an all-over canopy that's ventilated to keep your children cool during 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 storage in overhead compartments or trunks. Additionally, it comes with a large storage basket and an integrated parking brake that is easy to use.

Seating

Unlike the behemoth strollers of the past, today's double strollers are sleek and can accommodate an array of designs to accommodate families. Some of them function as traditional side-byside strollers while others - like the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double Stroller--work as a base for car seats, toddler seats or bassinets snap into. They are available in a variety of sizes and weights to accommodate children from newborns up to kindergarten.

A quality double stroller should be simple to fold and maneuver and will allow you to adjust your handlebar height to ensure that you feel comfortable on all of your outings. A good handlebar should be comfortable to grip, and it should invite you to walk with proper form (ask other parents for tips on this). It should come with a variety of storage options that can accommodate all the necessities your children will need.

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. The seats on these models sit side by side, enabling you to be able to interact with them both and keep an eye on them simultaneously. They also recline independently, so that one child can sleep while the other is awake and ready to go.

The disadvantage of twin strollers is that it can be more spacious than a model with a single occupant which makes it difficult to navigate walkways, aisles for shopping and narrow doors. For some families, the advantages are worth the extra size and effort.

If you're in the market for a compact double stroller the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double is a fantastic choice. 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.

A wagon-style double stroller such as the Delta Children LX Stroller Side-by-Side is another alternative. This model is bare bones but it comes with plenty of space for storage and seating. It also has heavy-duty wheels to handle any terrain. It also comes with a canopy that has 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. However, some parents feel that the seats are too low and can't recline completely to a flat position, which makes it difficult for small children to get comfortable or reach their snack trays.

Ease of Use

Double strollers are usually a large investment that you will be using for a long time. If you are looking for a double stroller, make sure it is easy to use and clean. The best double strollers have been designed to be user-friendly and include numerous features that are convenient.

To start, all the strollers we tested fold easily and compactly (with one hand!). They're also lightweight, making them ideal for travel. A lot of them can be checked at the gate on planes and fit in the majority of trunks. Additionally, the majority of our testers reported that their strollers folded down to a smaller size than their single-seat counterparts and some even included an adjustable carry strap for easy carrying.

The Valco Snap Duo trend is a double stroller with lots of options that will grow with your family. This side-by-side stroller works with infant car seats, a bassinet, and other accessories, meaning you can use it from birth to the age of preschool. Each seat comes with a 5-point harness and a large canopy that provides ample shade from the sun.

Another option that is highly regarded is the Joovy Twin Roo. The stroller is light and incredibly compact, measuring just 22 pounds and 26 inches wide when it's folded. The front seat reclines almost to a flat position and the back seat can be adjusted to fit every child. There's a huge storage basket and an easy, one-step connected parking brake that makes this stroller simple to move and use.

The only downsides to the Joovy Twin Roo are minor and specific to the model. Kerry says that the packaging is smart and fun, however it comes in five boxes that could be a bit cumbersome to carry around. She also noticed that the Genuis magnetic buckle was a little awkward and took a while to master. In the end, however she was extremely pleased with this stroller and would highly recommend it.

Stores

Strollers come with a variety of shapes and sizes, from side-by-side doubles to tandem (single to double buggy-file seating) designs, and many allow you to modify your layout with a bassinet or car seat attachment. Some have even added rider boards for older siblings. However, not all of them are made equal. Some are sleek and easy to use, whereas others are bulky, heavy and difficult to fold or stow.

If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller, look into the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite. It was the lightest stroller we tested in our tests, weighing less than 23 pounds. It is also easy-to-fold and comes with all the features parents want for a great day out with two children.

UPPAbaby's Vista v2 double is another model that our testers loved. They particularly liked its sleek design and easy-to-use. It can accommodate two infant car seats, a toddler's seat and a bassinet. There are no adapters needed. The rear seat can also be removed to create triple or quad stroller. It comes with a huge basket for storage and can be upgraded by adding an organizer for parents and all-terrain tires, as as storage bags for the sides.

Billingsley says that the most suitable double stroller to use for a toddler is one with numerous options for customization. This includes a seat or a bassinet that can be removed. That's because toddlers often have limited endurance, and a stroller with an attachment for a bassinet will provide them with a safe space to nap. The expert says that a double stroller must also have a comfortable harness and recline position, as well as ample storage space for toys and snacks.

The ZOE Twin+ is a popular choice among parents due to its light weight and flexibility. It's airline gate-check-friendly and fits through most doors (without having to remove the front wheels), and can expand into a quad or triple stroller with an add-on tandem seat. The near-flat, independently reclined seats and the extra-long, adjustable sun canopies are just a few of the highlights. A spacious underseat basket as well as cup holders for both parents and children make up this impressive feature set. The only downside according to Taylor, is that it doesn't have a a small profile when folded, and could be difficult to stow.
