How Easy Is It to Push and Fold a Double Stroller?

The right double stroller will help you move around regardless of whether you're walking your toddler or jogging with your twins. Finding a double stroller that is easy to fold and push is essential.

Our Lab experts recommend side-by-side models with equal recline and plenty of storage, plus car seat adapters for infants.

Seating

When shopping for a double stroller, the seating options are key. Depending on your kids' age and stage it is possible to consider a side-byside option that lets both children sit together, or a tandem design that lets one child stand while the other is sitting.

The seating arrangement can affect your comfort while walking through busy streets and sidewalks. Find strollers with reclined chairs with reclined footrests, large canopy to provide shade for the two passengers. Also, avoid hanging bags on the handlebars as they can alter the stroller's weight and cause tipping.

A good quality double stroller will include handy storage space for your essentials and other essentials. Check for compartments in the back of the seats or underneath the seats to keep toys, snacks and other essentials in one place. You can also use organizer bags as well as consoles for parents attached to the handles of the car to keep essentials in your hand on walks or outings.

For those with little ones nearing their age, a side-by-side stroller might be the best option. They tend to be more stable and provide better visibility for both the stroller and the passenger than strollers that stack. Some options also accept two car seats for infants that allow you to transfer your sleepy children from the car to the stroller without waking them.

Sit-and-stand models are a good option for parents with older children who don't mind their kids sitting in separate places and want some freedom. They can also permit an older child to ride along on the front. This kind of double stroller generally isn't compatible with newborns and may require more maintenance as years pass by, but it's a great option for active families that require the flexibility of one stroller that can be converted into a two-kid model.

This makes them easy to transport when traveling. They are made to last and comply with the safety standards of the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP).

Canopy

A canopy protects both the passengers from direct sun's rays and, in some models, a a visor that shields children's faces. The top scoring models for canopy options were the BOB Revolution Flex v3.0 Duallie, and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Dual. Both come with huge shades. They both provide plenty of coverage and cover kids from head to knee, whereas inline options tend to be less generous with shade or have only a single canopy that covers one seat, which can be problematic for siblings who want different levels of protection.

A good canopy should be able to slide easily onto the stroller, and a lot of our top-rated models accomplish that. Be sure to verify the dimensions of the model before you buy, as some canopies may require extra space in the basket to allow for full extension, and to prevent hitting the handles when they're folded.

Some parents prefer double strollers with the option of a bassinet or car seat adapters to provide them with more options in the future. For instance the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double features a toddler seat and an add-on RumbleSeat which makes it a perfect choice for families with twins or young children who may need to transport more than two children at once. This versatile stroller also offers a unique sit-and-stand configuration for older kids who prefer to ride on their own.

Other accessories that can make your stroller more functional include parent consoles and organizer bags, which help keep your essentials in reach. These bags are particularly useful when you want to store toys and snacks out of sight. Some of these accessories can be secured by a strap or snap, which makes it easy to remove them when you're ready to put them on the stroller again.

Both can expand into a triple stroller through the addition of a running board which is perfect for families with an active child who is active.

Wheels

The type of wheels used on a stroller can make a big difference in how it is simple or difficult to push. In general, larger wheels are easier for you to maneuver and can handle more terrain. The material the wheels are made of determines how easy or hard they are to push. Rubber wheels, for example are generally more durable and are able to withstand rougher surfaces than plastic ones.

Stroller wheels come in different styles, sizes, and materials to meet a range of environments and needs. Swivel wheels, for example, can make it easier to navigate tight corners and spaces. Fixed-wheels are more stable and better for smooth surfaces. If you are planning to take your stroller off-road or on a rough terrain, consider getting air-filled tires instead of regular rubber tires. These tires are similar to bicycle tires that absorb shocks to provide better comfort on the road.

Double strollers that are side-byside are more spacious than tandem strollers and can be more difficult to maneuver through narrow doors or crowded aisles. They provide your children with the same amount of room to sit down and stretch their legs. They're usually also easier to steer and maneuver than tandem strollers.

If you are planning to use your stroller for a bike or run, choose a double jogger that comes with special all-terrain wheels or jogging tires. These tires are bigger and more robust, and also have sealed ball bearings that provide a smoother ride on uneven surfaces. Certain models, such as the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller, are compatible with car seats that allow you to run with your children safely strapped in their car seats.

Other all-terrain/jogging doubles, like the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X allow a second seat in front however they're usually too bulky to be considered umbrella doubles.

This stroller is pricey with a price that is hundreds higher than our main top-rated single-to-tandem option, but it does come with high-quality materials and good resale value.

Stores

A well-designed double stroller should have enough storage space to accommodate the children and the parents. Lack of storage makes it hard for a parent to complete errands or take all the equipment needed to enjoy an outing with two kids. In our Lab tests the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double scored excellently in this metric, with a large and easily accessible basket that can accommodate up to 30 pounds.

Strollers that have multiple compartments or pockets can aid families in keeping in mind small items such as phones, keys, and wallets. A parent console or organizer bag that is attached to the handlebars may make a great location for dads and moms to store their own personal belongings when out with their children.

Along with a spacious basket The UPPAbaby Vista also has two infant car seats (though not both bassinets), and it has an adjustable handlebar that telescopically extends and brakes that are simple to use. It also has one of the biggest capacity seat weight ratings in our range, as well as a simple fold that fits through the majority of door frames.

On the other hand our test participants found that the wagon-style Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite has an excellent handlebar that can be adjusted, ideal for parents with different heights. The wagon has two folding UV screens to ensure complete sun protection, and its cup holders as well as snack tray can accommodate different bottles for children and snacks.

A big challenge for any stroller is how to fold it and then get it back into shape after use, particularly if you're dealing with two children in the stroller. It's therefore important to choose a stroller that folds easily and quickly. Both the UPPAbaby Vista v2 stroller and Evenflo Pivot Xpand have a single-handed, user-friendly mechanism that allows parents to fold their strollers quickly and efficiently, no matter what configuration they're in.

Double strollers may seem like an investment that's expensive but parents who plan to use it for several years will be paying more than they would for single strollers. It is also important to determine if the stroller can be disassembled for easier storage and transport. This is essential if you only have limited space in your vehicle or home.
