Buying a Small Double Stroller

Double strollers are a big investment that will last for a long time. That's why you need to choose carefully.

Our testers looked at strollers that provide incredible flexibility and smooth rides on any terrain. They also examined whether the models were easy to fold and maneuver.

Size

There are a variety of styles of double strollers available on the market, ranging from side-by-side to tandem (single-file seating) and wagons. The category has come a long way from the behemoth vintage 1980s models that some elder generations might have recalled. Nowadays, they're sleek and support various customization options to make the experience of traveling with kids more enjoyable for all involved.

If you have a child or toddlers in tow, a double stroller that includes car seats can be incredibly useful for taking them from A B. Some of the most modern strollers have frames that can accommodate two infant car seat or convertible toddler seats. This lets them be used by children as young as until they reach kindergarten age. They're generally more expensive than a simple double stroller frame, but they also offer the convenience of a built-in car seat system, as well as a spacious undercarriage basket that can accommodate both car seats.

Parents with fewer children could opt for a single-to double-stroller, which is more simple and less expensive. These frames are typically lighter in weight, and some moms have shared with us that they're still using their original stroller after their children outgrew it.

Another advantage of a few of the smallest double strollers we've tested is the compact fold. They can be tucked away where larger strollers wouldn't, and they're often easier to maneuver once folded.

In addition, all of the compact double strollers we've tested feature a nice-sized sunshade, though it's possible to have nothing to a cocoon cover. For families on a budget it's worth looking at second-hand strollers on websites like Facebook Marketplace to see if there's a stroller that will meet your family's needs. Just be sure to examine any used stroller carefully for signs of wear and tear prior to committing to buying one.

Weight

When looking for a compact double stroller, parents should consider how much they want to pay and if it will fit their family's lifestyle. For instance, a lightweight stroller might not have enough space to store bulky bags or other gear. It also might not have the capacity to cover a large area or other features that make it easier to use on long trips.

The best double strollers are easy to maneuver and sturdy so that children can remain in a comfortable position and not move around in their seats. In our tests for comfort we award higher marks to strollers with adjustable leg rests and padded seatbacks. The best double pushchair with car seat strollers also offer reclining seating positions which allow children to relax during long rides.

Innovative designs and clever features are making strollers that can be used in various ways more popular than ever. The best models are able to accommodate multiple car seat installations and offer a wide range of seating configurations from birth to preschool years. Some are so light they can be used for running or even for traveling.

One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting a compact double stroller is whether or not it will fit through doorways and other narrow spaces. Older models of tandem strollers and side-byside strollers are usually too wide to fit through many doors. The most effective small double strollers, however, are usually narrower than traditional models and can be pushed into doors of all sizes easily.

Another thing to think about is whether you'll need a stroller that has additional features like a cup holder or snack tray. These are useful for longer trips but add weight and cost to the double stroller.

Folding

A small double stroller can fold compactly, easily fitting into tight spaces and making it easy to put away. Its lightweight design makes it easy to carry and maneuver.

Before you choose a stroller that is small, think about where you will be using it and how often. These questions will help you determine what features are essential. For instance, if you are planning to run with the stroller you'll need to find one with an easy suspension that can glide over pavement and rough terrain.

Take into consideration the age and temperament of your children, too. If they're of the same age and have similar temperaments, a tandem stroller may be the most suitable option. If they are in different stages of development, then a tandem style may be better suited for your needs.

A double stroller can be costly but it will pay dividends over time. The purchase of a top-quality model that fits your family's needs will make traveling with children easier and will provide years of convenience for both of you.

If you are limited in storage space, a double stroller is an ideal choice. It can accommodate both toddlers and infant car seats. Evenflo Pivot Xplore Wagon can accommodate twins and is a great option for families with two children. It comes with two canopies as well as an attached storage bin as well as a tray for children with cup holders. This budget-friendly stroller also offers an easy and quick fold and can be carried by one hand. It is important to know that you have to remove the second seat from the majority of double modular strollers before folding.

Maneuverability

The best double strollers for small children are easy to maneuver and have smooth and responsive wheels that glide over all kinds of surfaces. These strollers also come with comfortable, reclining seats and plenty of storage space for your kids' gear. Many of these strollers are compatible with infant and toddler seats and car seat carriers. These features make these strollers an ideal option for families looking for a single, multi-purpose stroller.

Alli Cavasino, a certified child passenger safety technician who advises parents on strollers and travel equipment she suggests selecting a lightweight stroller that is easy for children to push. "Strollers that are too heavy could lead to frame fatigue and injuries," she says. If your stroller is heavy and difficult to push, add a ride-along feature or reduce the number of children.

A few of the double strollers we tested are able to accommodate multiple infant car seats. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double, for example can hold two toddler or infant seats at the same time and can be converted into three seats using the RumbleSeat add-on. It also has a chic inline design with foam-filled tires which won't flatten and an adjustable telescoping handbar. Its seat belts are simple to adjust and remove and its UPF 50+ sunshades come with peekaboo windows.

Other models are available with a variety of seating options. They can be used for twins, triplets, an older child and an infant, or an infant riding the scooter (sold separately). These models also feature brakes that are easy to use and a compact fold that fits in most trunks. Some are even light enough to be able to carry up and down stairs. They require minimal assembly. The Joovy Caboose, however, requires some tools and was among the most difficult build in our tests.

Safety

The best double strollers have many safety features, including adjustable handlebars that give you a comfortable grip, and a large base that won't tip when the children get out of their seats. The canopy is large enough to accommodate both kids in the event of rain. Alli Cavasino is a certified child safety technician. She says they're simple to use. "Look for a simple one or two-step fold that is easy to carry and has a place where straps can be put," she says.

The most double strollers can be pushed through doorways with ease--a major benefit for those with an incredibly small car or a tiny living space. The smallest models are also considerably lighter than standard double strollers, making them easy to move from one location to another. No need to strain your arms and back as you sling an oversized stroller on your shoulder.

Parents with children of similar ages may prefer a side by side stroller like our top pick one: the Joovy Kooper X2, that features two child seats that can be individually adjusted to recline and width. In our tests, we found the seats to be very comfortable and the reclining to be easy and simple with just one lever on each seat. It also has an ample storage basket, a built-in parking brake that is one step (to reduce fatigue in the hands while stopping) and some of our top harnesses.

If your children are different ages, a sit-and- stand stroller, like our top choice the UPPAbaby V2 double, is a good option. It can be used with two infant car seats, and it comes with a pair of modified seats that serve as bassinets.
