How to Choose the Best Double Stroller
There are many options available in the field of double strollers. To help you choose the right one for your family, we talked to experts in child development as well as mom Katie Billingsley.
Choose a stroller reasonably easy to fold, push and carry. Look for a model that can hold two infant car seats or a toddler who has a riderboard.
Safety
Find a double-stroller that has all-terrain wheels and a brake that can be operated with a hand if you want to keep the kids safe while walking. These wheels and brakes assist you in navigating trails, gravel, and sidewalks without your children falling or slipping away. The best double strollers come with ample storage space to store equipment and essentials for kids like snacks and toys.
The first step in choosing the best double stroller is to know how old your children are and how far apart they are. Most double strollers only accommodate one child seat. However, those that do have a variety configurations that let you pick the seating that is best for your family.
The classic doubles are ideal for children of similar age who are keen to interact. Some options have a more double-decker design, which allows you to place one seat higher than the other or add a rider board to older siblings. Newborns can be placed in a bassinet connected to the frame or with an attachment that allows you to look at your baby. If you have twins or are expecting twins, a twin stroller is the best way to go.
Look for a double-wheeled stroller that can handle off-road terrain and even hiking. A majority of these strollers were designed with active parents in mind and come with features that allow you to take your kids on any adventure, regardless of how rough the road or how steep the climb might be.
The best double strollers come with clever features that help you navigate in a difficult terrain or bad weather. This jogging stoller, for instance, comes with a wrist loop so that you can ensure your child's safety when going downhill at a higher speed or in extreme weather conditions. It also comes with a full-coverage canopy that is ventilated to keep your kids cool during the summer heat.
If you're looking to purchase a light compact double stroller check out this model from Joovy. It weighs less than 23lbs., making it ideal 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
Unlike the behemoth strollers of the past the modern double stroller s are sleek and support various configurations to fit families. Some double strollers can be used as side-by-side models and others, like the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Dual Stroller can be used as an alternative to car seats, toddlers seats and bassinets. They are available in a range of widths and weights that can accommodate children from newborns up to kindergarten.
A good double stroller should be a breeze to move 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 good handlebar is comfortable to hold and will encourage you to walk in a logical manner (ask for tips from other parents). It should come with a variety of storage options to accommodate all the essentials your children will need.
If your twins are similar age, a tandem stroller may be the best choice for your family. These strollers have seats that are side-byside, which means you can interact with them both and keep an eye on each of them simultaneously. They can also recline independently which means that one child can nap and the other is ready to go.
The downside to a twin stroller is that it can be wider than a single-occupant model and can make it difficult to navigate walkways, aisles for shopping and narrow doorways. However, for certain families, the benefits are worth the extra space and effort.
If you're in the market for a compact double stroller, the UPPAbaby Vista Double is a fantastic choice. Its shock absorption, sleek design, and capacity for two infant car seats, plus an optional running board for mobile older children -- make it a great choice for city living.
A wagon-style double stroller like the Delta Children LX Stroller Side-by-Side is another option. This model is bare-bones and offers plenty of seating space and storage space, along with robust wheels that can handle any terrain. It also comes with a canopy that has 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. Some parents complain that the seats are too low and can't recline to a fully flat position, which makes it difficult for children of smaller sizes to sit comfortably or reach their snack tray.
Simple to Use
Double strollers are often a large investment that you will be using for a long time. If you are looking for a double stroller, make sure it is easy to use and clean. The best double strollers are designed to be user-friendly and have many useful features.
For starters, all the strollers we tested folded easily and compactly (with only one hand!). They're also lightweight, making them ideal for traveling. A majority of them are checked at the gate on planes and fit in the majority of trunks. Furthermore, the majority our testers found that their strollers folded to a smaller size 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 lots of options that can grow with your family. This side-byside stroller is compatible with infant car seats as well as other accessories. It can be used from birth until preschool age. Each seat has a 5-point harness and a large canopy that provides plenty of shade from the sun.
The Joovy Twin Roo is another option that is highly praised. It is light and extremely compact, weighing just 22 lbs and 26 inches wide when folded. The front seat reclines to almost a full flat position and the back seat has an adjustable recline for each child. The stroller is simple to operate and maneuver due to its large storage basket, easy one-step parking brake and large storage basket.
The only downsides to the Joovy Twin Roo are minor and specific to that model. Kerry states that the packaging was enjoyable and clever, however it was also packaged in five boxes that can be an inconvenience to carry around. She also found the Genuis magnetic clasp to be a bit clunky and it took her some time before she could master it. In the end, however, she was very happy with this stroller and would highly recommend it.
Stores
Strollers come in all sizes and shapes, ranging from tandem doubles that are side-by-side to (single-file seating) styles, plus many allow you to modify your layout with a bassinet, or car seat attachment. Some have even added rider boards for older siblings. However, they're not all made equal. Some are elegant and simple to use, whereas others are heavy, bulky and difficult to fold or stow.
If you're seeking a stroller with a light weight that can fit two children and two children, the Joovy Caboose Graphite is a great option. It was the lightest stroller we tested in our tests, weighing just under 23 lbs. It is also easy-to-fold and has all the features parents would want for a fun day out with two children.
The Vista v2 double from UPPAbaby is another model our testers loved. They particularly liked its sleek design and ease-of-use. It can accommodate two infant car seats or a toddler's bassinet as well as a seat without the need for adapters. The rear seat can be removed to transform it into a triple or quad stroller. It has a large storage basket and can be upgraded to include a parent organizer wheel, all-terrain wheels, as well as side storage bags.
Billingsley states that the best double stroller for a toddler is one that has multiple customization options. This includes a seat or a bassinet that can be removed. This is because toddlers typically have limitations in endurance, and having a stroller that has a bassinet attachment will provide them with a safe spot to take a nap. A double stroller should also have a good harness system and recline positions, and 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 gate-check-friendly on airlines and fits through the majority of doorways (without taking off the wheels on the front), and can be made to a triple or quad 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 and inclusion of parent and child cup holders round out the impressive list of features. The only downside according to Taylor the manufacturer, is that it doesn't have a a small footprint when folded and can be difficult to stow.
