Safety

Your stroller should be safe, whether you're out on the town with your children, going to the zoo or trick-or-treating. It's crucial to have a sturdy frame with comfortable harnesses, a comfortable and comfortable handles for toddlers. It also needs to be able to pass through doorways and be easy to move and fold. It should be a good value.

We put every double stroller we reviewed through vigorous testing in our lab at the zoo, on city streets, and during family outings in suburban areas. Our lab tests evaluate the stroller's maneuverability, stability and ease of steering. We also test the comfort of the suspension for both the driver as well as the rider and the capacity for weight, seat canopy heights, as well as the storage space.

In addition to the standard security checks carried out by our experts in strollers, we request parents to provide feedback on their experiences with each model. We then consider all of that information when forming our recommendations.

Start with our top picks if you're looking for an excellent stroller that is secure and durable. These strollers are versatile and offer a variety of seating options for infant car seats. They can be used as an individual stroller or in tandem and are suitable for children from birth to elementary school.

The best double strollers will evolve with your family. They're stylish and sleek and can accommodate various customization options and can accommodate toddlers and infants in tandem or side-by-side (single-file) seating styles. Many also come with an enormous storage basket as well as a handlebar that could be adjusted telescopically, and one-handed folding mechanisms.

If you have twins or an infant who is similar age to their sibling, you should consider choosing a tandem stroller with a bench seat in the back that can be occupied by a third child. They're an excellent option for siblings who want to be social with one another but aren't in a position to sit close to one another in a side-by-side stroller and end with fighting or arguing. You can also find convertible models, which allow you to remove a bench seat for your child once they are ready to ride without a car seat.

Comfort

The top double strollers have comfortable child seats that are well-padded and supported. They also have ample storage space, spacious footwells for kids' feet and legroom, and UPF 50+ sun-protection canopies that offer excellent sun protection.

The handlebars must be close enough to the seat of your child that you can grab them and hold them. If the handlebars are separated, you'll have a hard to maintain your balance and retaining good form when pushing them.

The ride should be smooth, even on rough or hard surfaces. Some of the models we tested have shock absorbers to ensure that the ride remains steady. Some models have front and back suspensions which enhances control and reduces the amount of force needed to push them. The wheels must have a long-lasting tread and made of high-quality rubber.

We searched for the most flexible double strollers that could be used from birth until toddlerhood and beyond. Some of the double strollers we found can be converted into tandem strollers or side-by-side ones. One of them is the Uppababy Vista V2, can even be converted into one-file infant strollers. The model is three times more expensive as our primary tandem option however, its materials are more durable, and it should last longer.

You'll have to decide if you'd like an infant stroller that fits through narrow entrances and aisles of grocery stores or on airplanes.

The price of some of the most expensive double strollers can be a bit expensive, but they usually have a higher build quality and resale value than lower-end models. They're also easier to maneuver and can withstand rough terrain, like park trails or city sidewalks.

Style

If parents are in the market for a double stroller they're looking for much more than just a way to carry their two children. They want a light stroller that is able to move with ease, has sufficient storage space on the inside and thoughtful features that allow it to expand with their children. It should also be simple to push and navigate. Since they'll be carrying more than the children, the stroller must be easy on their backs and shoulders.

This is why the best double strollers are sleek and offer a variety of customizations, and can be adapted to infant car seats for an easy transition from toddler to baby. They're available in side-by-side or tandem (single-file seating) formats and can even be light enough for jogging or for travel.

In addition to the size, parents should also consider whether the double stroller can be able to pass through doorways or other tight spaces. Fortunately, most of the strollers we tested in our most recent update can clear the standard doors for exterior use, which are 36 inches wide. Moreover, the majority of them can fit inside doors that measure 28 to 35 inches wide.

When we review the top double strollers, we consider how easily they fold and unfold. We also consider how comfortable the seats and canopy are. In addition, we look at how comfortable the straps and buckles are for sitting children, and how easy to access and adjust the height of the handlebar.

Our top pick, Uppababy Vista V2, for example, is lightweight and offers ample storage space for both children. It has a cup for parents seat that reclines independently, and generous UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.
