How to Choose the Best Double Stroller

There are many options available when it comes to double strollers. To help you choose the best one for your family, we talked to child development expert and mom Katie Billingsley.

Find a stroller that's relatively easy to fold, push and carry. Look for a model that can fit two infant car seat or a toddler who has a riderboard.

Safety

Find 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 brakes allow you to navigate paths and dirt without worrying about your children falling or rolling. The best double strollers offer plenty of storage space for gear as well as kid-sized necessities like snacks and toys.

The best double stroller for your family starts with understanding how old and distant in terms of age your children are. A majority of double strollers are designed to allow one child seat, however, those do come with various configurations so that you can pick the seat that is most suitable for your children and your lifestyle.

The classic doubles are ideal for children of similar ages who like to interact. Some double-decker designs allow you to place one seat above the other, or add a riderboard for older siblings. Newborns can be snuggled into a bassinet, which is attached to the frame or in an individual attachment that gives you an unobstructed view of your baby. If you have twins or are expecting twins, a twin buggy from birth stroller is the best way to go.

Choose a stroller with two wheels that can handle off road double buggy-road terrain and even hiking. A lot of these strollers were developed with active parents and their children in mind. They have features that allow you to take them on any adventure, no regardless of how challenging or difficult the climbs might be.

The best double strollers come with clever features that aid in navigation in difficult terrain and bad weather. This jogging stoller for example, has a wrist loop so that you can make sure your child is safe when running at higher speeds or in adverse weather conditions. It also has a canopy that covers the entire area and has ventilation so your kids stay cool in the summer heat.

This model is a compact and compact double stroller from Joovy. It weighs less than 23 lbs. This makes it perfect for air travel and storage in overhead compartments or trunks. It also comes with a large storage basket and an easy-to-use one-step parking brake.

Seating

Contrary to the giant strollers of the past these double strollers are sleek and support an array of configurations to fit families. Some are used as traditional side-by-side 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 widths and weights to accommodate children from newborns through kindergarten.

A good double stroller should be easy to fold and maneuver and allows you to adjust the height of your handlebar to ensure that you're comfortable throughout your excursions. A good handlebar is comfortable to grip and should encourage you to walk in a proper manner (ask for advice from other parents). It should offer a variety of storage options that can accommodate all the necessities your children need.

If your twins are near in age, you may consider a tandem stroller that works best for your family. These models have seats that are side-byside, so you can interact with them both while keeping an eye on each of them at the same. They also recline independently, so that one child can sleep while the other is awake and ready to go.

The downside to a twin stroller is that it's wider than a single-occupant model and can make it difficult to navigate walkways, aisles for shopping and narrow doorways. 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 V2 Double is a great 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 and offers lots of space for seating and storage, as well as heavy-duty wheels that manage any terrain. It also has a canopy with 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. Some parents complain that the seats are too low and don't recline fully flat, making it difficult for little children to reach their food trays or get comfortable.

User-Friendliness

Double strollers are often an investment that will be using for a long time. If you are looking for a double stroller, be sure it is easy to use and clean. Fortunately, the best double strollers are designed to be as user-friendly as is possible and include a variety of convenient features for parents.

For starters, all of the strollers we tested folded easily and compactly (with one hand!). They're also light, which makes them ideal for traveling. A majority of them are checked for gate entry on airplanes and fit into most compact double stroller trunks. In addition, the majority of our testers found that their strollers folded down to a smaller size than their single-seat counterparts and some even included the option of carrying a strap for carrying.

If you're looking for a flexible double stroller that can grow with your family, look no further than the Valco Snap Duo Trend. This side-by-side stroller can be used with infant car seats, bassinets, and other accessories, so you can use it from birth until the age of preschool. Each seat features five points of harness and a large canopy. It also offers ample sun protection.

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 to a flat position, and the back seat can be adjusted to suit each child. This stroller is easy to maneuver and use thanks to its large storage basket, easy parking brake that is one step and a large storage basket.

The only drawbacks to the Joovy Twin Roo were minor and specific to the model in question. Kerry says that the packaging is smart and fun, however it comes in five boxes which can be a little cumbersome to carry around. She also found that Genuis's magnetic buckle was a little awkward and took a while to master. She was satisfied with the stroller, however, and would highly recommend it.

Stores

Strollers come in a variety of sizes and shapes, from tandems with side-by-side doubles to tandem (single-file seating) designs, and many allow you to modify your stroller with a bassinet or car seat attachment. Some have even added rider boards designed for older kids. But, they're not all created equal. Some are elegant and simple to use, whereas others are bulky, heavy and difficult to fold and store.

If you're looking for a light double stroller, check out the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite. It was the lightest stroller in our tests, with a weight of just under 23 lbs. It's also easy to fold and has all the features parents need for a great day out with two children.

The Vista v2 Double from UPPAbaby is a different model that our testers adored especially for its sleek design and ease of use. It can accommodate two infant car seats or a toddler bassinet and seat without the need for adapters. Its rear seat can be removed to make it into a triple or quad stroller. It comes with a large basket for storage and can be upgraded by adding an organizer for parents as well as all-terrain tires, as as side storage bags.

Billingsley says that the best double stroller to use for toddlers is one that offers numerous options for customization. This includes a bassinet or seat that can be removed. Toddlers are often limited in their endurance and strollers with an integrated bassinet can offer a safe spot for them to nap. She suggests that a double stroller should also include a harness system that is reliable and recline positions, and plenty of storage room for toys and snacks.

The ZOE Twin+ is popular among parents due to its light weight and flexibility. It's gate-check-friendly on airlines, fits through most compact double stroller doorways (without removing the wheels on the front) and can be expanded to a triple or quad stroller by adding an additional tandem. The near-flat, independently reclined seats as well as the extra-long sun canopy that can be adjusted are other highlights. A spacious underseat basket and the inclusion of parent and child cup holders complete the impressive set of features. The one downside according to Taylor the manufacturer, is that it doesn't have the smallest footprint when folded and can be difficult to carry.
