How to Choose the Best Double Stroller

If you're in the market for a double stroller, there are a lot of options. Katie Billingsley, a child development expert and mother, was able to help us choose the right model for you.

Find a stroller that's fairly easy to fold, push and carry. Consider a model that is able to accommodate two infant car seats or a toddler as well as an adult rider board.

Safety

Choose a double-stroller which includes all-terrain wheels as well as a brake that can be operated by hand if you want to ensure your children are safe when walking. These wheels and brakes will aid you in traversing trails as well as sidewalks, gravel, and other paths without your children falling or rolling off. The best double strollers also have plenty of storage space for gear and essentials for kids, such as snacks and toys.

The first step to choosing the best double stroller is to determine how old your children are and how far apart they are. Most double strollers can only accommodate one child seat, however, those that do come in different configurations, so you can choose the type of seating that is most suitable for your children and your lifestyle.

The classic doubles are perfect for children of similar ages who are keen to interact. Some models have a double-decker design, allowing you to place one seat higher than the other or attach an extra rider board for older siblings. Newborns can be tucked into a bassinet attached to the frame, or as a standalone attachment that allows you to have the chance to peek at your baby. If you have twins or are expecting twins, a dedicated twin stroller is the best option to go.

For more adventurous families consider a double stroller that is able to handle off-road terrain, or even hiking. A majority of these strollers are designed with active parents in mind, and have features that allow you to take your kids to any adventure, regardless of how rough the path or how steep the climbs may be.

In addition to all-terrain tires, the top double strollers come with clever features that make traversing difficult terrain and weather a lot easier. This jogging stoller for example, has a wrist loop so that you can ensure your child's safety while running downhill at higher speeds or in extreme weather conditions. It also features a canopy that covers the entire area and has ventilation so your kids stay comfy during the summer heat.

This model is a light and compact double stroller from Joovy. It weighs in at just over 23 pounds, making it lighter than most single strollers, and ideal to take on air travel or for storing in trunks or overhead compartments. Plus, it has a large storage basket and a parking brake that is linked in one step that's easy to use.

Seating

Double strollers of today are sleeker and can be set up in many ways to suit your family. Some of them function as traditional side-byside strollers, while others -- like the Baby Trend sit n stand double stroller 'N Stand Double Stroller--work as a base to which car seats, toddler seats, or bassinets snap into. They are available in a range of widths and weights that can accommodate children from newborns to kindergarten.

A good double stroller will be easy to fold and maneuver, as well as allowing you to adjust the height of your handlebar to ensure that you feel comfortable throughout your outings. A great handlebar should be comfortable to hold and should invite you to walk in a proper posture (ask parents for advice on this). It should come with a variety of storage options to accommodate everything your children will require.

If your twins are close in age, you may consider a tandem stroller that works best for your family. These models come with seats that are side-by-side so you can interact with them both and keep an eye on both of them at the same. 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, which can make it difficult to maneuver around walkways, aisles for shopping and narrow doors. For some families the benefits are well worth the extra effort and size.

If you're looking for a small double-stroller, then the UPPAbaby V2 Double is a good alternative. Its shock absorption, sleek design and capacity for two infant car seats - plus an optional running board for mobile older children make it a perfect option for city-living.

A wagon-style double stroller, such as the Delta Children LX Stroller Side-by-Side is another option. This basic model comes with lots of space for seating and storage space, along with heavy-duty wheels that manage any terrain. It also has a canopy with a 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. Some parents complain that the seats are too low and don't recline completely flat, making it difficult for little children to reach their snacks or to relax.

Ease of Use

Double strollers are often a large investment that you will use for many years. When choosing a stroller you need to ensure that it is easy to operate and clean. The top double strollers have been designed to be user-friendly and have many convenient features.

To start, all the strollers we tested fold up easily and compactly (with one hand!). They're also lightweight, making them ideal for travel. They can fit in most trunks and can be gate-checked on airplanes. Most of our testers also found that their strollers could be folded down to a smaller size than single-seat versions. Some even had a carrying strap.

If you're in search of a multi-purpose double stroller that will adapt to your family's needs, look no further than the Valco Snap Duo Trend. This side-by-side stroller can be used with infant car seats and other accessories. It can be used from birth until preschool age. Each seat has a 5-point harness and a large canopy that provides ample protection from the sun.

The Joovy Twin Roo is another option that's highly regarded. It is light compact and weighs only 22 lbs when folded. The front seat reclines almost to a flat position, and the back seat can be adjusted for every child. There's a large storage bin and a simple, one-step linked parking brake that makes this stroller user-friendly and easy to maneuver.

The only drawbacks to the Joovy Twin Roo were minor and specific to this particular model. Kerry says that the packaging is innovative and fun, however it comes in five boxes that can be a little cumbersome to carry around. She also felt that the Genuis magnetic buckle was awkward and took a while to master. In the end, however she was extremely pleased with her stroller and would highly recommend it.

Storage

Strollers come with a variety of sizes and shapes, ranging from tandem doubles that are side-by-side to (single-file seating) styles, and a lot allow you to customize your setup by adding a bassinet or a car seat attachment. Some have rider boards that can be added to accommodate older siblings. They're not created equal. Some are lightweight and easy to use while others are heavy, bulky and difficult to fold.

If you are looking for a stroller that is light that can hold two kids The Joovy Caboose Graphite is a great option. It was the lightest stroller we tested in our tests, weighing less than 23 pounds. It is also easy-to-fold and comes with all the features parents would want for a fun day out with two children.

The Vista v2 double from UPPAbaby is another model that our test subjects loved. They particularly liked its sleek design and easy-to-use. It can fit two infant car seats or a toddler's bassinet and seat without the need for adapters, and its rear seat can be removed to turn it into a quad or triple stroller. It comes with a large basket for storage, and it can be upgraded by adding an organizer for parents as well as all-terrain tires as well as side storage bags.

Billingsley says the ideal double stroller for a two-year-old is one that supports various options for customization, such as a removable seat or bassinet. This is due to toddlers having limitations in endurance, and having a stroller that has a bassinet attachment will give them a safe place to rest for a nap. The expert says that a double stroller should also have a good recline position and harness system and plenty of storage space for snacks and toys.

The ZOE Twin+ is a popular choice among parents because of its light weight and flexibility. It's airline gate-check-friendly it can be accessed through all doors (without taking off the front wheels) and can be expanded into a triple or quad stroller that has an additional tandem seat. Its nearly-flat, independently reclining seats, extra-long sun canopy and footrests that can be adjusted are other highlights, while its spacious underseat storage area and the inclusion of parent pushchairs and Prams kid cup holders complete the impressive set of features. The only drawback according to Taylor the manufacturer, is that it doesn't have a an elongated profile when folded and can be difficult to stow.
