How to Choose the Best Double Stroller

If you're looking for a double stroller, there are a lot of options. Katie Billingsley, a child development expert and mother, helped us select the best one for you.

Find a stroller that's relatively easy to push, fold and carry. Consider a model that's versatile enough to accommodate two infant car seats or a toddler along with a rider board.

Safety

Choose a double-stroller which has all-terrain wheels and a brake that can be operated with a hand if you want to ensure your children are safe when walking. These brakes and wheels will help you navigate trails and sand without children slipping or rolling. The best double strollers also offer plenty of storage space for gear and kids-sized items 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. A majority of double strollers can only accommodate one child seat. However, those that do have a variety configurations that let you choose the seating that is best for your family.

The classic doubles are perfect for children of similar ages who like to interact. Certain models feature a double-decker design, allowing you to put one of the seats above the other or add a rider board for older siblings. Newborns can be placed in a bassinet connected to the frame or with an attachment that lets you look at your baby. If you have twins or are expecting twins, a twin stroller is the best travel double stroller way to go.

For more adventurous families opt for a double stroller that is able to take on off-road terrains or even hike. Many of these strollers are designed with active parents in mind, and come with features that let you take your children on any adventure, no matter how rough the path or how steep the climbs may be.

In addition to all-terrain tires, the top double strollers feature clever features that make traversing difficult terrain and weather more enjoyable. This jogging stroller, for instance, comes with wrist loops so that you can make sure your child is safe when running downhill at higher speeds or in harsh weather conditions. It also has a canopy that covers the entire area and has ventilation so your kids stay cool in the summer heat.

This model is a light and compact double stroller from Joovy. It weighs in at just over 23 lbs, making it lighter than some single strollers and perfect for air travel or storage in overhead compartments or trunks. Additionally, it comes with a huge storage basket and a one-step linked parking brake that is simple to use.

Seating

Double strollers are now sleeker and can be configured in many ways to meet the needs of your family. Some of them function as traditional side-byside strollers, while others -- like the Baby Trend sit and Stand double Stroller 'N Stand Double Stroller--function as a base to which car seats, toddler seats or bassinets click into. They are available in a variety of sizes and weights to accommodate children from newborns through kindergarten.

A good double stroller will be easy to fold and move and allows you to adjust your handlebar height to ensure that you feel comfortable throughout your outings. A great handlebar is one that is easy to hold, and it should invite you to walk with proper form (ask parents for advice on this). It should come with a variety of storage options to accommodate all the essentials your children need.

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-byside, which means you can interact with them both while keeping an eye on each of them simultaneously. They also recline separately so that one child can nap and the other is ready to go.

The disadvantage of twin strollers is that it can be more spacious than a model with a single occupant and can make it difficult to navigate walkways, aisles for shopping and narrow doorways. For some families the benefits are worth the extra effort and size.

If you're in the market for a compact double stroller the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double is a great option. Its shock absorption, streamlined design and the capacity to accommodate two infant car seats - plus an optional running board for mobile older children--make it an ideal option for urban living.

A wagon-style double stroller such as the Delta Children LX Stroller Side-by-Side is another option. This basic model comes with a lot of seating space and storage, as well as heavy-duty wheels that manage any terrain. It also features an SPF canopy that is 50+ and adjustable handlebars. Some parents complain that the seats are a little too low and can't recline to a fully flat position, which makes it difficult for small children to get comfortable or reach their snack tray.

User-Friendliness

A double stroller can be an investment you're likely to use for years. When shopping for one, you want to make sure it will be easy to use and clean. Fortunately, the best double strollers are designed to be as user-friendly as possible and come with plenty of features that are convenient for parents.

All the strollers that we tested could be folded easily and compactly with just one hand. They are light and perfect for travel. A majority of them are checked at the gate on planes and fit into most trunks. Our testers discovered that their strollers could fold down to a smaller size than single-seat versions. Some even had a carrying strap.

This side-byside stroller is compatible with infant car seats, a bassinet and other accessories, which means you can use it from birth to the age of preschool. Each seat is equipped with a five-point harness and a large canopy that provides ample protection from the sun.

Another option that is highly regarded is the Joovy Twin Roo. It is light and compact, weighing only 22 pounds when folded. The front seat reclines almost to the 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 buggy from birth Roo are minor and specific to that model. Kerry says that the packaging was fun and clever, but that it was also packaged in five boxes which could be an inconvenience to carry around. She also found that Genuis's magnetic buckle was a little clunky and took some time to master. She was pleased with the stroller in the end and would recommend it.

Stores

Strollers come in a variety of sizes and shapes, from tandems with side-by-side doubles to tandem (single-file seating) styles, and a lot allow you to customize your layout with a bassinet, or car seat attachment. Some come with rider boards that can be added for older children. There are many different types of rider boards. Some are light and easy to use, whereas others are bulky, heavy and difficult to fold.

If you are seeking a stroller with a light weight that can fit two children and two children, the Joovy Caboose Graphite is a great choice. It was the lightest stroller we tested in our tests, weighing just under 23 lbs. It's also easy to fold and comes with all the features parents want to enjoy a day out with two kids.

The Vista v2 double by UPPAbaby is another model that our test subjects loved. They especially liked its sleek design and user-friendly. 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 create a triple or quad stroller. It comes with 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 offers various options for customization, such as the ability to remove a seat or a bassinet. That's because toddlers often have limited endurance, and a stroller with an attachment for a bassinet will give them a safe place to rest for a nap. She suggests that a double car seat stroller stroller should include a harness system that is reliable and recline positions, and plenty of storage room for toys and snacks.

The ZOE Twin+ is a popular choice for parents due to its light weight and flexibility. It's gate-check-friendly for airlines it can be accessed through all doors (without removing the front wheels), and can expand into a quad or triple stroller with an add-on tandem seat. The near-flat, independently reclining seats and the extra-long sun canopies that are adjustable are other highlights. A large underseat storage basket and the inclusion of parent and child cup holders make up the impressive features. The only drawback according to Taylor, is that it doesn't have a a small profile when folded and can be difficult to store.
