How to Choose the Best Double Stroller

If you're in the market for a double stroller, there are a lot of options. To help you pick the most suitable one for your family, we talked to experts in child development as well as mom Katie Billingsley.

You should look for a stroller that is simple to fold and push to carry. Consider a model that can hold two infant car seat or a toddler that has a riderboard.

Safety

If you want to keep your kids safe while walking, look for double strollers that have features such as all-terrain tires and an electronic brake that can be operated by hand. These wheels and brakes will aid you in traversing trails as well as sidewalks, gravel, and other paths without your children falling or rolling 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 selecting the best double stroller is to know how old your children are and how far apart they are. Many double strollers can only accommodate one child seat. However, the ones that offer a variety of configurations that let you pick the seating that is best for your family.

Side-by-side doubles are an iconic option, and are great for children of similar ages that like to interact with each other. Some models have a double-decker design, which allows you to put one seat above the other or even attach a rider board for older siblings. Newborns can be snuggled into a bassinet, which is attached to the frame or as an independent attachment that allows you to have a peek-a-boo view of your baby. If you have twins or are expecting twins, a dedicated twin stroller is the best option to go.

Look for a double-wheeled stroller that can handle off-road terrain, and even hiking. A lot of these strollers are designed with active parents in mind, and come with features that allow you to take your kids on any adventure, no matter how rough the terrain or how steep the climb might be.

The top double strollers have thoughtful features to help you navigate through difficult terrain and in bad weather. This jogging stoller, for example, has a wrist loop so that you can ensure your child's safety when running downhill at higher speeds or in adverse weather conditions. It also has an all-over canopy that's ventilated to keep your kids cool during the summer heat.

If you're looking for a lightweight double pushchair, compact double stroller, look at this model from Joovy. It weighs less than 23lbs. It's perfect for air travel and storage in trunks or overhead compartments. It also comes with a large storage basket as well as an easy-to-use one-step parking brake.

Seating

In contrast to the massive strollers of old these double strollers are sleek and offer various configurations to fit families. 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 snap into. They are available in a variety of widths and weight limits, allowing infants and children up to kindergarten.

A good double stroller must be easy to maneuver and fold, while also allowing you to adjust the handlebar's height to make sure you're comfortable throughout your outings. A great handlebar should be easy to hold, and it should encourage you to walk in a proper posture (ask parents for advice on this). It should also have a variety of storage options that will accommodate everything you need for your children.

If your twins are of a similar age, a tandem stroller could be the best choice for your family. These models come with seats that are side-by-side which means you can interact with them both while keeping an eye on both of them simultaneously. They can also recline separately so that one child can nap while the other is awake and ready to go.

The drawback of a twin stroller can be that it is larger than one designed for a single person. This can make it more difficult to navigate narrow aisles for stores, doors, or sidewalks. For some families, the advantages are worth the extra size and effort.

If you're looking for a compact double stroller, the UPPAbaby Vista Double is a fantastic choice. Its shock absorption, sleek design and the capacity to accommodate two infant car seats, plus an optional running board for mobile older children -- make it a great option for urban living.

A wagon-style double stroller, such as the Delta Children LX Stroller Side-by-Side is another option. The model is basic however it has plenty of storage and seating space. It also has sturdy wheels to take on any terrain. It also comes with a canopy with 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. But some parents say the seats are too low and can't recline completely to a flat position, making it difficult for children of smaller sizes to get comfortable or reach their snack trays.

Simple to Use

Double strollers are often an investment that will be using for a long time. If you are in the market for a double travel buggy stroller, be sure it's easy to use and clean. Luckily, the top double strollers are designed to be as user-friendly as is possible and come with a wide array of convenient features for parents.

For starters, all of the strollers we tested folded easily and compactly (with just one hand!). They're also light, which makes them ideal for travel. A majority of them are checked for gate entry on airplanes and fit in the majority of trunks. In addition, the majority of our test subjects found that their strollers folded to a smaller size than their single-seat counterparts and some even had an adjustable carry strap for easy carrying.

The Valco Snap Duo trend is a double stroller that has lots of options that can adapt to the needs of your family. This side-byside stroller is compatible with infant car seats, a bassinet and other accessories, which means you can use it from birth to preschool age. Each seat comes with five-point harnesses, a large canopy and ample sun protection.

Another option that is highly regarded is the Joovy twin umbrella stroller Roo. This stroller is lightweight and extremely compact double buggy, weighing just 22 pounds and 26 inches wide when it's folded. The front seat reclines to a flat position, and the back seat can be adjusted for each child. There's a large storage basket and an easy, one-step linked parking brake that makes this stroller extremely user-friendly and easy to maneuver.

The only negatives of the Joovy Twin Roo were minor and specific to this particular model. Kerry states that the packaging was enjoyable and innovative, but it also came in five boxes which can be a bit of an inconvenience to carry around. She also found that Genuis's magnetic buckle was awkward and took a while to master. In the end, though she was very pleased with the stroller and would definitely recommend it.

Stores

Strollers come in all sizes and shapes, from side-by-side doubles to tandem (single-file seating) styles, and a lot allow you to customize your stroller by adding a bassinet or a car seat attachment. Some come with rider boards designed for older kids. They're not all created equal. Some are lightweight and easy to use, while others are heavy, bulky and difficult to fold.

If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller, check out the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite. It was the lightest choice in our tests at around 23 pounds and is also easy to fold, but it has all the features parents require to have a great time out with two kids.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double is a different model that our test subjects loved particularly for its sleek design and easy to use. It can accommodate two infant car seats, a toddler's seat, and a bassinet with no adapters needed. The rear seat can also be removed to make it triple or quad stroller. It comes with a large basket for storage and can be upgraded with an organizer for parents as well as all-terrain tires as well as side storage bags.

Billingsley says that the best double stroller for a toddler is one that offers different options for customization, including a removable seat or bassinet. Toddlers can be weak in endurance, and a stroller that has an integrated bassinet can provide a safe place for them to nap. She says a double stroller must also come with a sturdy harness system and recline positions, and plenty of storage space for toys and snacks.

The ZOE Twin+ is a popular choice for parents because of its light weight and versatility. It is gate-check-friendly for airlines, fits through most doorways (without taking off the wheels at the front), and can be expanded to a triple or quad stroller by adding an extra tandem. Its nearly-flat, independently reclining seats, extra-long sun canopies and footrests that can be adjusted are other highlights, while its spacious underseat storage area and the inclusion of parent and child cup holders complete the impressive set of features. One disadvantage according to Taylor the manufacturer, is that it doesn't have a an elongated profile when folded and can be difficult to stow.
