How to Choose the Best Double Stroller

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

It is recommended to choose a stroller which is easy to fold, push and carry. And consider a model that's versatile enough to accommodate two infant car seats or a toddler as well as an adult rider board.

Safety

Find a double-stroller that has all-terrain wheels and a brake that is operated by hand if you want to ensure your children are safe while walking. These brakes and wheels allow you to navigate trails and gravel without your children falling or rolling. The best small double stroller strollers offer plenty of storage space for gear as well as kid-sized necessities like snacks and toys.

The best double stroller for your family begins with understanding how old and far apart in age. Most double strollers only accommodate one child seat. However, those that do have a variety configurations that let you select the seating option that's best for your family.

The classic doubles are great for children of similar ages that want to play. Certain models feature a double-decker design, allowing the user to place one of the seats above the other or add an extra rider board for older siblings. Newborns can be snuggled into a bassinet attached to the frame, or as a standalone attachment that offers the chance to peek at your baby. If you have twins or are expecting twins, a specially designed twin stroller is the way to go.

Find a double-wheeled stroller that is capable of handling off-road terrain as well as hiking. Many of these strollers are designed with active parents in mind and include features that allow you to take your kids on any adventure, no matter how rough the terrain or how high the climbs may be.

The top double strollers are equipped with clever features that aid in navigation through difficult terrain and in bad weather. This jogging stroller, for example, has a wrist loop, so you can ensure your child's safety while going downhill at a higher speed or in adverse weather conditions. It also has an all-over canopy that's ventilated to keep your children cool during the summer heat.

This model is a light and compact cheap double buggy stroller from Joovy. It weighs less than 23 pounds. It's perfect for air travel and storage in overhead compartments or trunks. It also comes with an enormous storage basket as well as an integrated parking brake that's easy to use.

Seating

Double Buggy With Carrycot (Gpsites.Win) strollers today are sleeker and can be set up in a variety of ways to meet the needs of your family. Some of them function as traditional side-byside strollers, while others -- like the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double Stroller--work as a base that car seats, toddler seats or bassinets click into. They are available in a range of widths and weights that can accommodate children from newborns up to kindergarten.

A quality double stroller should be easy to fold and move and allows you to adjust the height of your handlebar to ensure that you feel at ease on all your outings. A good handlebar is easy to hold and will encourage you to walk in a logical manner (ask for advice from other parents). It should also have a variety of storage options that can accommodate all the essentials you'll need for your kids.

If your twins are near in age, you might find a tandem stroller works best for your family. These strollers have seats that are side-by-side, so you can interact with them each other and keep an eye on each of them at the same time. They also recline independently so that one child can nap and the other is ready to go.

The downside of a twin stroller could be that it is larger than a model for a single-occupant. This can make it difficult to maneuver narrow doorways, store aisles or even sidewalks. For some families, the benefits are worth the extra effort and size.

If you're looking for a compact double stroller, the UPPAbaby Vista V2 lightweight double pushchair is a great option. Its shock absorbers, streamlined design, and capacity for two infant car seats--plus an optional running board for 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. It's a basic model but it comes with plenty of space for storage and seating. It also has sturdy wheels to handle any terrain. It also comes with a canopy that has 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. But some parents say the seats are too low and can't recline to a fully flat position, which makes it difficult for smaller children to sit comfortably or reach their snack trays.

Simple to use

Double strollers are typically a large investment that you will be using for a long time. If you are looking for a double stroller, make sure that it is easy to use and clean. The top double strollers have been developed to be user-friendly and include many useful features.

All the strollers we tested fold quickly and compactly in one hand. They're also light, making them ideal for travel. Many of them can be gate checked on airplanes and fit in the majority of trunks. In addition, the majority of our testers found that their strollers folded to smaller dimensions than their single-seat counterparts and some even came with the option of carrying a strap for carrying.

The Valco Snap Duo trend is a double stroller that has lots of options that can adapt to the needs of your family. This side-by-side stroller works with infant car seats, bassinets, and other accessories, so you can use it from birth to preschool age. Each seat is equipped with a five-point harness and an enormous canopy that offers plenty of shade from the sun.

Another highly-regarded option is the Joovy Twin Roo. The stroller is light and extremely compact, measuring just 22 lbs and 26 inches wide when folded. The front seat reclines almost to a flat position, and the back seat can be adjusted to fit each child. The stroller is simple to use and maneuver thanks to its large storage basket, easy one-step parking brake, and large storage basket.

The only downsides to the Joovy Twin Roo are minor and specific to the model. Kerry says that the packaging was enjoyable and clever, but that it was also packaged in five boxes that can be a bit of an inconvenience to carry around. She also noticed that the Genuis magnetic buckle was difficult to master. However, in the end she was very pleased with this stroller and would definitely recommend it.

Storage

Strollers come in all sizes and shapes, from side-by-side doubles to tandem (single-file seating) designs, and many allow you to personalize your layout by adding a bassinet or a car seat attachment. Some come with rider boards which can be added for older siblings. However, not all of them are created equal -- some are sleek and easy to use, while others are heavy, bulky and difficult to fold and store.

If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller, check out the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite. It was the lightest stroller in our tests, with a weight of just under 23 lbs. It folds easily and comes with all the features parents want to enjoy a day out with two children.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double is another model that our test subjects loved particularly for its sleek design and easy to use. It can accommodate two infant car seats, a toddler seat, and a bassinet with no adapters needed. The rear seat can also be removed to make it triple or quad stroller. It comes with a large basket for storage and can be upgraded by adding an organizer for parents and all-terrain tires, as as side storage bags.

Billingsley says that the best double stroller for a two-year-old is one that supports multiple customization options, like an adjustable seat or bassinet. Toddlers are typically limited in their endurance and strollers that have an integrated bassinet can provide a safe place for them to sleep. She says that a double stroller should also have a great recline position and harness system, as well as ample storage space for snacks and toys.

The ZOE Twin+ is popular among parents due to its lightness and flexibility. It is airline gate-check friendly and fits through the majority of doorways (without taking off the wheels on the front), and can be converted to a triple or quad stroller by adding an extra tandem. Its nearly flat, independently reclined seats, sun canopy with extra-long lengths and adjustable footrests are additional highlights, while its spacious underseat storage basket and inclusion of kid and parent cup holders round out the impressive feature set. Taylor states that the only downside is that it has a large footprint when folded, and can be difficult for parents to carry.
