Double strollers are a significant investment that will last for many years. You must make the right choice.

Our test participants looked at strollers that have excellent flexibility and smooth rides on any terrain. They also examined whether the models were easy to fold and maneuver.

Size

There are many styles of double strollers available, including side-by-side, tandem (single-file) and wagons. The category has advanced from the massive 1980s models that some elder generations might have recalled. Nowadays they're sleek and offer various customization options to make traveling with children more enjoyable for everyone.

For parents of toddlers or infants, a double stroller that includes a car seat is an excellent option for getting them from one point to B. Some of the most sophisticated strollers come with a single frame which can accommodate two infant car seats or convertible toddler seats. This lets them be utilized by children from birth until they reach the age of kindergarten. They are generally more expensive than a standard double stroller frame, but they also offer the convenience of a built-in car seat system and an ample undercarriage basket that can accommodate both car seats.

Parents with fewer children could opt for a single-to-double stroller that is simpler and less expensive. These frames are usually lighter and some moms use their stroller after their children have outgrown it.

Another advantage of a few of the tiniest double strollers we've tried is their compact fold. They can fit into spaces that larger strollers cannot and are generally easier to maneuver when folded.

Just be sure to inspect any used stroller for signs of wear and tear prior to making a decision to purchase one.

Weight

Parents should consider their budget and whether the stroller will be a good fit for the family's lifestyle before purchasing a double stroller.

When choosing a small double stroller it is essential to know if the stroller will fit through narrow doors and other spaces. The majority of older models of side-by-side strollers and tandem strollers have an overall wideness that makes them unsuitable for numerous doors. The most effective tandem strollers are usually smaller than the standard models, and are able to be pushed through most standard doorways.

Another thing to consider is whether you need a stroller that has additional features such as a cup holder or snack tray. These can be handy for longer trips, but they can add to the overall weight and cost of the double stroller.

Folding

For instance, if intend to run with the stroller, then you will want to look for one with an easy suspension that can glide across rough and paved terrain.

Also, think about the temperament and age of your children. If they are close in age, then a tandem stroller could be the best. If they are in different stages of development, a tandem stroller may be the best choice for you.

Some double strollers we tested are able to accommodate multiple infant car seats. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, for instance, can accommodate two infant car seats or toddler seats simultaneously and converts to a three-seat layout with the addition of RumbleSeat. It also has a stylish inline design, with foam-filled tires that can't be flat, and a telescoping handlebar that can be adjusted. Its seat buckles are one of the easiest to unfasten and fasten, and its generous UPF 50+ sunshades come with peekaboo windows.

Other models have seating versatility, making them suitable for multiples, twins, an older child who is a single person, an infant or toddler with a riding scooter (sold separately). These models also feature brakes that are easy to use and a compact fold that fits in most trunks. Some are so lightweight that they can be carried up and down stairs. They require minimal assembly. The Joovy Caboose however, requires a few tools and was among the most difficult build in our tests.

Safety

The top double strollers are outfitted with a variety of safety features. They have adjustable handlebars, which provide the user with a comfortable grip and a wide base so it will not tip over when children get out of their seats. They also come with large canopy that can be used to protect both children and even the rain. Alli Cavasino is a certified child safety technician. She claims they are simple to use. "Look for an easy, one- or two-step fold that is easy to carry and has a clear place where the straps can be placed," she says.

The narrowest compact double strollers fit through doors with ease, which is a huge benefit if you have the space of a small car or living space. The smallest models also weigh less than traditional double strollers. This makes them easier to transport from one place to the next.

Parents of children of similar ages may choose an X-style stroller that is side by side, such as our top choice one: the Joovy Kooper X2, that features two child seats that can be adjusted individually to recline and width. We found that the seats were extremely comfortable, and recline was easy and intuitive. Each seat is equipped with one lever. It also has an enormous storage basket, a parking brake that is one step (to reduce fatigue in the hands when stopping) and some of our most popular harnesses.

If your children are of different ages, a sitting-and- stand stroller, like our top choice, the UPPAbaby v2 double buggy travel system, is a good option. It accepts two infant car seats, and also has two seats that act as bassinets for older children. It can also be modified to accommodate a riding platform to accommodate a sibling of a similar age.
