How to Choose the Best Double Stroller

If you're in the market for a double stroller, there are a lot of options. To help you choose the most suitable one for your family, we talked to experts in child development as well as mom Katie Billingsley.

You should choose a stroller that is easy to fold and push to carry. Consider a model that's versatile enough to accommodate two car seats for infants or a toddler along with a rider board.

Safety

If you want to keep your kids secure on your walks opt for double strollers that have features like all-terrain tires as well as a hand-operated brake. These wheels and brakes will help you navigate trails as well as sidewalks, gravel, and other paths without the risk of your children sliding or slipping away. The best double strollers come with plenty of storage space for gear as well as kids-sized items like snacks and toys.

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

Side-byside doubles are a popular choice, and they're perfect for children of similar ages who like to play with one another. Certain models feature a double-decker design, which allows you to put one of the seats above the other or attach an extra rider board for older siblings. Babies can be placed in a bassinet, which is attached to the frame, or as an individual attachment that offers a peek-a-boo view of your baby. If you have twins or are expecting twins, a specially designed 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 have features that let you take your kids to any adventure, no matter how rough the terrain or how steep the climb might be.

The best double strollers are equipped with thoughtful features to make it easier to navigate through difficult terrain and in bad weather. For example, this jogging stroller includes a wrist loop for your child so you're sure that they're safe when you run downhill or at faster speeds. It also comes with a full-coverage canopy with airflow to keep your kids cool during the summer heat.

If you're looking to purchase a light, compact double stroller, look at this model from Joovy. It weighs in at just over 23 pounds, making it lighter than most single strollers, and ideal to take on air travel or for storing in trunks or overhead compartments. Additionally, it comes with a large storage basket and an integrated parking brake that's easy to use.

Seating

Unlike the behemoth strollers double of the past the modern double strollers are sleek and can accommodate various configurations to fit 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 to which car seats, toddler seats, or bassinets click into. They are available in a variety of sizes and weights to accommodate children from newborns to kindergarten.

A good double stroller should be easy to maneuver and fold, while also permitting you to adjust the handlebar height so you're able to walk comfortably throughout your excursions. A good handlebar is one that is easy to hold, and it should allow you to walk in a proper form (ask parents for advice on this). It should also provide various storage options that accommodate all the necessities you'll require for your children.

If your twins are near in age, you might find a tandem stroller works best for your family. The seats on these models are placed together, allowing you to be able to interact with them both and keep an eye on them simultaneously. They also recline separately so that one child can nap and the other is ready to go.

The downside of a twin stroller can be that it is wider than a stroller designed for a single-occupant. This can make it difficult to navigate narrow doorways, store aisles or even walkways. For certain families, however the benefits are worth the extra effort and size.

If you're looking for a compact double stroller, the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double is a great option. The UPPAbaby Vista Double is a great choice for urban living due to its shock absorption, sleek design, and capacity to accommodate two infant car seats. It also has an optional running board that can be used by older children who are mobile.

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

Simple to use

A double stroller is usually an investment you're hoping to use for many years. If you are looking for a double stroller, make sure it is easy to use and clean. The top double strollers are designed to be easy-to-use and come with numerous features that are convenient.

All the strollers we tested can be folded quickly and compactly in one hand. These strollers are lightweight and ideal for traveling. A majority of them are checked for gate entry on airplanes and fit into most trunks. In addition, the majority of our test subjects found that their strollers folded to smaller sizes than their single-seat counterparts and some even included an adjustable carry strap for easy carrying.

If you're in search of a multi-purpose double stroller that will adapt to your family's needs take a look at the Valco Snap Duo Trend. This side-byside stroller is compatible with infant car seats as well as other accessories. It can be used from birth to the age of preschool. Each seat comes with five-point harnesses, a large canopy and ample sun protection.

The Joovy Twin Roo is another option that is highly praised. It is light and extremely compact, weighing just 22 lbs and 26 inches in width when folded. The front seat reclines to almost a full flat position and the back seat has an adjustable recline for every child. There's a huge storage basket and an easy, one-step connected parking brake that makes this stroller user-friendly and easy to maneuver.

The only downsides of the Joovy Twin Roo were minor and specific to this particular model. Kerry says that the packaging is smart and fun, however it comes in five boxes that can be a little cumbersome to carry around. She also found the Genuis magnetic clasp to be somewhat difficult to use and it took a while before she could get it to work. She was satisfied with the stroller at the end and would highly recommend it.

Storage

Strollers come in a variety of sizes and shapes, ranging from tandems with side-by-side doubles to tandem double stroller (single-file seating) designs, and many allow you to personalize your setup with a bassinet or car seat attachment. Some come with rider boards for older siblings. However, they're not all made equal. Some are sleek and easy to use, whereas others are bulky, heavy and difficult to fold or store.

If you're looking for a lightweight double pushchair double stroller, take a look at the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite. It was the lightest stroller in our tests, weighing less than 23 pounds. It folds easily 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 ease-of-use. It can accommodate two infant car seats, or a toddler's seat and a bassinet without adapters. The rear seat can be removed to turn 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 and all-terrain tires as well with side storage bags.

Billingsley says that the most suitable double stroller to use for toddlers is one that has numerous options for customization. This includes a seat or bassinet that can be removed. Toddlers are typically weak in endurance, and strollers that have an attached bassinet will provide a safe place for them to sleep. The expert says that a double stroller must also have a great recline position and harness system, as well as ample storage space for toys and snacks.

The ZOE Twin+ is popular with parents due to its light weight and flexibility. It is gate-check-friendly for airlines and fits through the majority of doorways (without taking off the wheels at the front) and can be made into a quad or triple stroller by adding an extra tandem. Its nearly-flat, independently reclining seats, extra-long sun canopy and adjustable footrests are further highlights, while its spacious underseat storage basket as well as the inclusion of parent and kid cup holders complete the impressive feature set. One downside, according to Taylor, is that it lacks a the smallest profile when folded, and could be difficult to store.
