These brakes and wheels will help you navigate trails and sand without children falling or rolling. The best double strollers have plenty of storage space for gear as well as kids-sized items like snacks and toys.

Choosing the right double stroller for your family begins with understanding how old and far apart in age your kids are. Most double strollers can only accommodate one child seat, but those that do come in various configurations so that you can choose the seat that best fits your kids and your lifestyle.

The classic doubles are perfect for children of similar ages who want to play. Certain models feature a double-decker style, allowing the user to place one seat higher than the other or add a rider board for older siblings. Newborns can be snuggled into a bassinet, which is attached to the frame or in an independent attachment that gives you the chance to peek at your baby. If double buggy with car seat have twins or are expecting twins, a dedicated twin stroller is the best way to go.

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

In addition to all-terrain tires the top double strollers come with thoughtful features that make getting around difficult terrain and weather more enjoyable. For example this stroller for jogging has a wrist loop for your child, so you'll be able to ensure they're secure when running downhill or at higher speeds. It also features a canopy with full coverage that is ventilated to keep your children cool during summer heat.

If you're looking for a lightweight, compact double stroller, look at this model 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

Double strollers are now sleeker and can be set up in various ways to fit your family. Some of them function as traditional side-byside strollers while others--such as the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double Stroller--work as a base for car seats, toddler seats or bassinets can be plugged into. They are available in a variety of sizes and weights to accommodate children from newborns to kindergarten.

A good double stroller should be a breeze to move and fold, as well as allowing you to adjust the handlebar's height to make sure you're able to walk comfortably throughout your excursions. A well-designed handlebar is easy to hold and will encourage you to walk in a proper manner (ask for advice from other parents). It should have a range of storage options to accommodate everything your children will need.

If your twins are close in age, you may find a tandem stroller works best for your family. The seats of these models sit together, allowing you to engage with them both and keep an eye on them simultaneously. They also recline independently so that one child can lie down while the other is awake and ready to go.

The downside to twin strollers is that it can be wider than a single-occupant model which makes it difficult to maneuver around the aisles of shops, sidewalks and narrow doors. For some families the benefits are well worth the extra effort and size.

If you're looking for a compact double-stroller then the UPPAbaby V2 Double is a good option. The UPPAbaby Vista Double is a great option for city living thanks to its shock absorption, 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 alternative is a wagon-style double stroller, such as the Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller. This bare-bones model offers lots of space for seating and storage space, along with heavy-duty wheels that manage any terrain. It also has a canopy that has 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. Some parents complain that the seats are a little too low and don't recline completely to a flat position, which makes it difficult for smaller children to sit comfortably or reach their snack trays.

Easy of Use

Double strollers are usually a large investment that you will be using for a long time. When choosing a stroller, you want to make sure it will be simple to operate and clean. Fortunately, the best double strollers are designed to be as user-friendly as they can and include a variety of convenient features for parents.

All strollers we tested could be folded easily and compactly with just one hand. They are light and perfect for travel. They can fit in most trunks and can be checked for gate-checking on planes. Our testers found that their strollers could be folded down to a smaller size than the single seat equivalents. Some even had a carrying strap.

The Valco Snap Duo trend is a double stroller with many options that can adapt to the needs of your family. This side-byside stroller is compatible with infant car seats, bassinets, and other accessories, meaning you can use it from birth to preschool age. Each seat has a 5-point harness and an enormous canopy that offers plenty of shade from the sun.

Another popular option is the Joovy Twin Roo. The stroller is light and extremely compact, measuring just 22 lbs and 26 inches in width when folded. The front seat reclines almost to an entire flat position, and the back seat has an adjustable recline for each child. There's a huge storage basket and a simple, one-step linked 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 the model in question. Kerry says that the packaging was fun and clever, but that it came in five boxes which could be trouble to carry around. She also found the Genuis magnetic clasp to be somewhat awkward, and it took a while before she could master it. However, in the end she was extremely pleased with the stroller and would definitely recommend it.

Storage

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

If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller, take a look at the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite. It was the lightest option in our tests, weighing close to 23 pounds. It is also simple to fold, but it has all the features parents need to have a great time out with two kids.

The Vista v2 Double from UPPAbaby is another model that our testers adored, especially for its sleek design and user-friendly. It can accommodate two infant car seats or a toddler seat and a bassinet without adapters. twin buggy can be removed to make it into a quad or triple stroller. It comes with a huge basket for storage, and can be upgraded with a parent organizer and all-terrain tires, as well as side storage bags.

Billingsley says that the most suitable double stroller to use for toddlers is one with multiple customization options. This includes a seat or a bassinet that can be removed. This is because toddlers typically have little endurance, so having a stroller that has the bassinet attachment can provide them with a safe space to take a nap. She suggests that a double stroller should also have a good recline position and harness system as well as plenty of storage space for toys and snacks.

The ZOE Twin+ is a popular choice among parents due to its light weight and versatility. It's airline gate-check-friendly and fits through most doors (without removing the front wheels) and can be expanded into a triple or quad stroller that has an additional tandem seat. The near-flat, independently reclined seats as well as the extra-long sun canopy that can be adjusted are other highlights. A large underseat storage basket as well as cup holders for the child and parent complete the impressive features. Taylor says that the only downside is that it has an enormous profile when folded, and it can be difficult for parents to store.
