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

If you're taking your toddler for a walk or jogging with your twins, the right double stroller makes it easier for everyone to move around. However, finding one that is easy to push and fold is a must.

Our Lab experts recommend side-by-side models that have equal reclining and plenty of storage space, including car adapters for infants' seats.

Seating

The seating options you choose are important when shopping for a double-stroller. Based on your kids' ages and stages it is possible to consider a side-byside option that allows both children to sit together or a tandem model that allows one child to stand while the other is seated.

The seating arrangement can impact your comfort when you are navigating busy sidewalks and streets. Consider looking for strollers with reclined seats, reclined footrests and large canopy that provides shade for both of the passengers. Beware of hanging bags on the handlebars because they can alter the stroller's weight and increase tipping.

Double strollers that are of good quality are also equipped with storage compartments for your necessities. Find storage compartments underneath the seats or behind the seats. These are excellent places to store your snacks, toys and other necessities. You can also make use of organizer bags and consoles for parents affixed to the handles of the car to keep essentials close at hand during walks or outings.

A side-by-side stroller is the ideal choice for parents with children of the same age. They are usually more stable and provide better visibility for both of the passengers than strollers that stack. Some models can accommodate two infants in a car seats, which allows you to take your sleepy children from the car to the babiie pram without waking them.

Sit-and-stand models are a good option for parents with older children who don't mind their kids sitting on their own and prefer a little independence. They also allow an older child to ride with the front. This type of double stroller typically isn't compatible with newborns and may require more maintenance as years pass by, but it can be a great option for active families that need the versatility of one stroller that can be converted to a two-kid version.

The most effective double strollers are robust and easy to maneuver, even in a rough terrain or tight spaces. They are also light, foldable and compact to be easily stored in your trunk or garage. This makes them easy to carry when traveling. They are constructed to last and comply with the safety guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP).

Canopy

A canopy helps protect both passengers from the sun's rays, and some models come with an visor to further protect kids' faces. Shades that are massive like the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double have earned us highest scores for their canopy options. Both models have ample coverage and cover children from head to toe however, inline options tend to skimp on shade or only provide a single canopy that only covers one seat. This can be a problem for siblings who need different levels of protection.

Most of our top-rated canopys fit on strollers with ease. But be sure to check the model's dimensions before you purchase, as certain canopy might require additional space in the basket for full extension and to ensure that the handles don't get hit when they're folded.

Some parents prefer a double stroller with a bassinet, car seat adapters or other accessories to give them more options in the future. For instance the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double features a toddler seat and an additional RumbleSeat which makes it a great option for families with twins or young children who require the transport of more than two kids at once. This versatile stroller offers an unique sit-and-stand arrangement for older children who prefer to travel on their own.

The organizer bags and consoles for parents can help your stroller be more efficient. They keep essentials close in your reach. They're particularly useful for strollers that don't get used often and when you'll need to keep snacks and toys away from prying eyes. Some of these accessories are connected via a strap or snap that makes it simple to take them off when you're ready for the stroller to be used again.

If you're thinking of investing in a long-term plan consider a double stroller that's compatible with infant car seats and can transform into a toddler stroller that has a bench seat or glider board. Both the Graco Travel System RoomFor2 and UPPAbaby's Vista Duallie include a bassinet which is compatible with car seats, a toddler seat as well as a RumbleSeat. Both can be converted into a triple stroller with the addition of a running board, which is ideal for families that have an active kid who prefers to stay in motion.

Wheels

The type of wheels on the stroller makes an enormous difference in how it is easy or difficult to push. Generally, larger wheels are more maneuverable and are able to handle more terrain. The material that the wheels are made of is a factor in how easy or hard they are to push. Rubber wheels are more durable than plastic wheels and are able to withstand rougher surfaces.

Stroller wheels are available in a variety styles, sizes and materials to accommodate the needs of a variety of people and environments. For instance, swivel wheels make it easier to navigate narrow spaces and make tight turns. Fixed-wheels are more stable and suitable for smooth surfaces. If you are planning to use your stroller on rough terrain or off-road air-filled tires are more suitable over standard rubber tires. These tires are similar to bicycle tires, and absorb shocks to provide better comfort on the road.

Side-by-side double strollers are much wider than tandem models, and they can be difficult to fit through narrow entrances or aisles in stores. They give your children the same amount of space to sit down and stretch their legs. They're generally also more maneuverable and easy to steer than tandem strollers.

If you plan to use your stroller for a running or bike it as a double jogger, you need to choose one with all-terrain wheels or jogging tires. These tires are larger and thicker, and come with sealed ball bearings to provide an easier ride on rough surfaces. Some models, such as the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller are compatible with car seats that allow you to run while your children are safely in their car seats.

Other all-terrain/jogging doubles like the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X, accept the addition of a second seat however they're usually too bulky to qualify as umbrella doubles. And in our testing, the restraint buckles on this model were among the hardest to secure, which could be a problem when trying to get two kids into the stroller all at once. This stroller is pricey and costs a lot more than our top single-to-tandem pick, but it offers high-quality materials and good selling value.

Stores

A great double stroller must provide ample storage space for both parents and children. Lack of storage makes it hard for a parent to get around town or bring all the equipment needed for a trip with two children. In our Lab tests we found that the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double did excellently in this metric, with a large and easy-to-access basket that can hold up to 30 pounds.

Strollers with pockets or compartments that are multiple can aid families in keeping track of small items, like keys, phones, and wallets. A parent console or organizer bag that attaches to the handlebars of the stroller can be a great option for parents to store their personal belongings when out with the children.

Along with a spacious basket the UPPAbaby Vista comes with two infant car seats (though not both bassinets), and it has a telescoping handlebar and brakes that are simple to use. It also has one of the largest capacity weight ratings for seats in our lineup and a simple fold that fits into most door frames.

On the flip side, our testers found that the wagon-style Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite has an excellent handlebar that can be adjusted, perfect for parents of different heights. The wagon has two folding UV screens to ensure complete sun protection, and its cup holders as well as snack tray can be used to hold different bottles for children and snacks.

The biggest challenge with any stroller is folding it it back to its original shape after using. This is particularly true when you have a toddler or infant with you. That's why it's important to choose a stroller with a smooth and user-friendly fold. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand both feature an easy-to-use, single-handed system that allows parents to swiftly and efficiently fold their strollers regardless of the configuration they're in.

Although a double stroller might appear like a costly purchase, parents who intend to use the product for several years should be aware that they'll typically pay more for this kind of equipment than single strollers. It's also worth determining if the stroller can be broken down into parts to make it easier to transport and store this is a vital factor if you're in a tight space for your vehicle or living space.
