How to Choose the Best Double Stroller

If you're looking for a double stroller there are a variety of options. Katie Billingsley, a child development expert and mother, has helped us select the best one for you.

Look for a stroller that's reasonably easy to fold, push and carry. Also, consider a stroller that's versatile enough to accommodate two infant car seats or a toddler and a rider board.

Safety

If you want to keep your children safe on your walks opt for a double seat stroller stroller with features like all-terrain tires and a brake operated by hand. These brakes and wheels help you navigate paths and dirt without worrying about your children slipping or rolling. The best double strollers have plenty of storage space for gear as well as essentials for kids, such as snacks and toys.

The first step in selecting the best double stroller is to know the age of your children and how far apart they are. Most double strollers can only can accommodate one child's seat, but those do come with different configurations, so you can pick the seat that is most suitable for your children and your lifestyle.

Side-by-side doubles are an iconic option, and are great for kids of similar ages who want to play with one another. Some smallest double buggy-decker designs allow you to place one seat over the other, or even attach a riderboard for older siblings. Newborns can be placed in a bassinet that is attached to the frame, or with an attachment that allows you to play peek-a-boo with your baby. If you have twins or are expecting twins, a dedicated twin buggy from birth stroller is the best option to go.

For more adventurous families opt for double strollers that can handle off-road terrain or even hiking. A lot of these strollers were developed with active parents and their children in mind. They come with features that let you take them on any adventure, no regardless of how challenging or difficult the climbs might be.

In addition to all-terrain tires, the top double strollers come with thoughtful features that make navigating difficult terrain and weather more enjoyable. For instance this stroller for jogging has a wrist loop for your child so you can be sure that they're safe when you run downhill or at speeds that are higher. It also has a canopy that covers the entire area and has ventilation so your kids stay comfortable during the summer heat.

If you're looking to purchase a light compact double stroller take a look at this model by Joovy. It weighs less than 23 lbs. It's perfect for air travel and storage in trunks or overhead compartments. Plus, it has a huge storage basket and an integrated parking brake that is easy to use.

Seating

Unlike the behemoth strollers of the past the modern double strollers are sleek and support a variety 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 'N Stand Double Stroller - function as a base to which car seats, toddler seats, or bassinets snap into. They are available in a variety of sizes and weight limits to accommodate infants and children up to kindergarten.

A good double stroller should be easy to maneuver and fold, while also permitting you to adjust the height of the handlebar to ensure you're able to walk comfortably throughout your excursions. A great handlebar should be easy to hold and should invite you to walk in a proper form (ask other parents for tips on this). It should also have various storage options that can accommodate all the essentials you'll need for your children.

If your twins are similar in age, you might discover that a tandem stroller is best for your family. These models have seats that are side-by-side so you can interact with them both and keep an eye on each of them simultaneously. They can also recline independently, so one child can rest while the other is ready to go.

The downside of a twin stroller may be that it is wider than a stroller designed for a single person. This makes it more difficult to navigate narrow doorways, store aisles or the sidewalks. For certain families, the advantages are worth the extra size and effort.

If you are looking for a compact double-stroller then the UPPAbaby V2 Double is a great alternative. Its shock absorption, streamlined design and the capacity to accommodate 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 like the Delta Children LX Stroller Side-by-Side is another alternative. This basic model comes with plenty of seating space and storage, plus robust wheels that can handle any terrain. It also has an umbrella with 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. Some parents complain that the seats are too low and do not recline fully flat, making it difficult for little children to reach their food trays or to relax.

Easy of Use

Double strollers are often a large investment that you will use for many years. When choosing a stroller, you want to make sure it will be easy to use and clean. Fortunately, the best double strollers are designed to be as user-friendly as possible and come with a wide array of features that are convenient for parents.

For starters, all the strollers we tested folded easily and compactly (with only one hand!). These strollers are lightweight and perfect for travel. A lot of them can be gate checked on airplanes and fit into most trunks. Additionally, the majority of our testers reported that their strollers folded down to smaller dimensions than their single-seat counterparts and some even included the option of carrying a strap for carrying.

The Valco Snap Duo trend is a double stroller that has a lot of versatility that can grow with your family. This side-byside stroller is compatible with infant car seats, a bassinet, and other accessories, so you can use it from birth until preschool age. Each seat is equipped with a five-point harness and a large canopy that provides ample protection from the sun.

The Joovy Twin Roo is another option that's highly praised. 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 for every child. There's a huge storage basket and a simple, one-step linked parking brake which makes this stroller easy to maneuver and use.

The only downsides of the Joovy Twin Roo were minor and specific to the model in question. Kerry says that the packaging is innovative and enjoyable, however, it comes in five boxes which could be a bit cumbersome to carry around. She also noticed that Genuis's magnetic buckle was a little awkward and took a while to master. She was happy with the stroller in the end and would highly recommend it.

Storage

Strollers come in all sizes and shapes, ranging from side-by-side doubles to tandem (single-file seating) designs, and many allow you to customize your layout with a bassinet or car seat attachment. Some have even added rider boards for older siblings. They're not all created equal. Some are lightweight and easy to use, whereas others are bulky, heavy and difficult to fold.

If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller, take a look at the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite. It was the lightest choice in our tests, weighing close to 23 pounds. It is also easy to fold, yet it has all the features parents need to enjoy a great time with two kids.

The Vista v2 double from UPPAbaby is another model that our test subjects loved. They were particularly impressed by its sleek design and user-friendly. It can fit two infant car seats, or a toddler's bassinet and seat without adapters. The rear seat can be removed to transform it into a quad or triple stroller. It has a huge storage basket that can be upgraded to include an organizer for parents, all-terrain wheels, and side storage bags.

Billingsley says the best double stroller for a toddler is one that supports multiple customization options, like the ability to remove a seat or a bassinet. This is because toddlers typically have limited endurance, and having a stroller that has a bassinet attachment will provide them with a safe spot to nap. She says that a double stroller should also have a great recline position and harness system, as well as ample storage space for snacks and toys.

The ZOE Twin+ is popular with parents due to its lightweight and flexibility. It's gate-check-friendly on airlines and fits through the majority of doorways (without taking off the wheels on the front) and can be expanded to a triple or quad stroller by adding an extra tandem. The nearly flat, independently reclined seats and extra-long, adjustable sun canopies are among the other features. A large underseat storage basket, as well as cup holders for the child and parent make up this impressive feature set. Taylor states that the only disadvantage is that it has a an enormous footprint when folded, and can be difficult for parents to store.
