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

If you're taking your toddler out for a walk or jogging with your twins, having the right double stroller makes it easier for everyone to get around. It's important to find one that's easy to fold and push is essential.

Our Lab experts recommend side-by-side models that have equal reclining, plenty of storage space and car seat adapters that can fit infants.

Seating

Seating options are important when choosing a double-stroller. You may want to consider a tandem stroller that lets one child stand while the other sits or a side-by- side option that allows your children to sit together.

Seating arrangements can also affect your comfort while you're walking on the busy streets and sidewalks. Look for a stroller with reclined seats, footrests that recline and ample canopy options that provide shade for both passengers. Beware of hanging bags on the handlebars because they can change the stroller's weight and cause tipping.

Double strollers of high-quality will also come with convenient storage compartments to store your essentials. Check for compartments in the seat backs or beneath the seats to keep snacks, toys and other items in a convenient place. Parents consoles and travel strollers (listen to this podcast) bags that are attached to handles are also useful for keeping essentials within reach when you go for walks or outings.

If you have children close in age, a side-by-side stroller might be the best choice. They're usually more stable than stacking models and provide better sightlines for both passengers. Some options also accept two infant car seats, allowing you to move your sleeping kids from the car to the stroller and not wake them up.

Sit-and-stand strollers are a great option for parents with older children who don't mind their children sitting on their own and prefer some freedom. They also allow a larger child to ride in the front. This type of double stroller typically isn't compatible with newborns and may require more maintenance as the years go by, however it can be a great option for active families that want the versatility of an individual stroller that converts into a two-kid model.

The best double strollers will be durable and easy-to-maneuver even in a rough terrain or tight spaces. They're also light and fold down for compact storage in your trunk or garage making them easy to transport and manage while traveling. They're constructed to last and meet the safety standards of the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP).

Canopy

A canopy can shield both passengers from the sun, and some models even offer a visor to further shield children's faces. Shades that are massive like the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double have earned us top scores for their canopy options. They both offer plenty of coverage and cover kids from head to knee, while inline models tend to skimp on the shade or offer only a single canopy that covers one seat, which is problematic for siblings who want different levels of protection.

Most of our top-rated canopys can be fitted onto strollers easily. Be sure to verify the dimensions of the model before you purchase, as some canopy may require additional space in the basket to allow for full extension, and to avoid hitting the handles when folded.

Some parents prefer a double stroller with a bassinet, car seat adapters or other accessories that provide them with more options in the future. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double, for instance, has an infant seat and an add-on RumbleSeat. This makes it a great option for families with twins or small children and require transport at the same time. This stroller is also able to offer a unique sit-and-stand configuration for older kids who prefer to ride on their own.

Other accessories that can help make your stroller more useful include parent consoles or bags for organizing, which can help keep your essentials in reach. They're especially useful for strollers that aren't used frequently, when you might want to store snacks and toys away from prying hands. Some of these accessories can be secured by straps or snaps, which makes it easy to remove them when you're ready to take the stroller once more.

If you're thinking of an investment that will last for a long time opt for a double stroller that's compatible with infant car seats and will transform into a toddler stroller with an adjustable bench or glider board. The Graco RoomFor2 Travel System and the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Duallie both feature a car seat-compatible bassinet as well as a toddler seat and RumbleSeat. Both can be converted into a triple stroller (related website) with the addition of a running board which is perfect for active families with one kid who prefers to stay on the move.

Wheels

The type of wheels that are used on the stroller makes an enormous difference in how it is simple or difficult to push. In general, pram and pushchairs travel systems system (listen to this podcast) larger wheels are more maneuverable and are able to handle more terrain. The material used to make the wheels can also impact how they are to push. Rubber wheels, for example are usually more durable and can stand up to rougher surfaces than plastic ones.

Stroller wheels are available in a variety of styles, sizes, and materials to meet a range of requirements and environments. For instance, swivel wheels help navigate narrow spaces and make tight turns. Fixed wheels are more stable and better for smooth surfaces. If you intend to use your stroller on rough terrain or off-road, air-filled tires are a better option than the standard rubber tires. These tires are similar to bicycle tires, and they absorb shocks, which makes for an easier ride.

Side-by-side double strollers are much wider than tandem models and can be difficult to maneuver through narrow doorways or crowded aisles of stores. However, they offer your children equal seating and allow them to stretch their legs. They are also usually easier to maneuver than tandem strollers.

If you plan to use your stroller to run or bike then look for double joggers with all-terrain or jogging tires. These tires are larger and more robust, and also have sealed ball bearings to provide an easier ride on rough surfaces. Certain models, such as the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller, are compatible with car seats, which let you jog with your kids safely in their car seats.

Other strollers that are all-terrain and jogging, such as the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X accept a second child in the front, but they are too heavy to be classified as umbrella doubles. Also, in our testing the restraint buckles on this model were among the toughest to fasten, which can be a problem when trying to get two children into the stroller all at once. This lightweight stroller costs hundreds more than the top-rated single to tandem model, but it comes with top-quality materials and an affordable resale value.

Stores

A well-designed double stroller should have enough storage space to accommodate the children as well as the parents. Insufficient storage space can make it difficult for parents to run errands or bring along all the gear needed for a trip with two kids. In our Lab tests, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double performed well in this metric it has a large and easily accessible basket that can hold up to 30 pounds.

Strollers that have pockets and compartments that are multiple can assist families in organizing small items such as keys, wallets and phones. A parent console or organizer bag that attaches to the handlebars of the stroller could be a handy method for parents to keep their personal belongings while outing with the children.

In addition to a spacious basket, the UPPAbaby Vista carries two infant car seats (though not both bassinets), and it has a telescoping handlebar and easy-to-use brakes. It also has the largest maximum weight capacity in our collection, as well as it folds to fit the majority of door frames.

Our test participants also discovered that the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite wagon comes with a fantastic adjustable bar, which is ideal for parents of different heights. The wagon also features two UV screens that fold down to offer full sun coverage, and its snack tray and cup holders can hold plenty of kid snacks and bottles.

The biggest challenge for any stroller is how to fold it up and return it to shape after use, particularly when you're carrying a toddler and an infant in tow. It's the reason it's essential to choose a stroller that is easy to fold and user-friendly fold. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand both feature a simple, single-handed mechanism that allows parents to quickly and efficiently fold their strollers, no matter which configuration they're in.

Double strollers may seem like an expensive investment, but parents who plan to use it for a number of years will pay more than they would for single strollers. Also, you should consider whether the stroller can be disassembled for easier storage and transportation. This is important in the event that you only have a small amount of space in your home or vehicle.
