How to Choose the Best Double Stroller

If you're in the market for a double stroller there are plenty of options. To help you select the best one for your family, we consulted child development expert and mom Katie Billingsley.

You should look for a stroller that is simple to fold, push and carry. Look for a model that can hold two infant car seats or a toddler with a riderboard.

Safety

If you want to ensure your children are safe while walking opt for a double stroller that has features such as all-terrain tires and a brake operated by hand. These wheels and brakes help you navigate trails and sand without children falling or rolling. The best double strollers also come with plenty of storage space for gear as well as kids-sized items like snacks and toys.

The first step in choosing the best double buggy double stroller is to determine the age of your children and how far apart they are. A majority of double strollers are designed to can accommodate one child's seat, but those that do come in various configurations so that you can choose the seat that best suits your kids and your lifestyle.

The classic doubles are perfect for children of similar ages who are keen to interact. Double-decker designs permit the user to place one of the seats over the other, or even attach an additional riderboard for older siblings. Newborns can be placed in a bassinet attached to the frame, or with an attachment that lets you peek-a-boo at your baby. If you have twins or are expecting twins, a specially designed twin stroller is the best way to go.

Choose a stroller with two wheels that is capable of handling off-road terrain as well as hiking. Many of these strollers are designed with active parents in mind, and have features that let you take your kids to any adventure, regardless of how rough the road or how high the climbs might be.

In addition to all-terrain tires the top double strollers feature clever features that make traversing tough terrain and weather easier. This jogging stoller 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 comes with a canopy with full coverage that is ventilated to keep your children cool during summer heat.

This model is a lightweight and compact double stroller from Joovy. It weighs less than 23lbs. It's perfect for air travel and storage in overhead compartments or trunks. It also has a large storage basket as well as an easy-to-use one-step parking brake.

Seating

Unlike the behemoth strollers of the past these double strollers are sleek and support various configurations to fit families. Some double strollers can be used as side-by-side models while others, such as the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Dual Stroller, can be used as an alternative to car seats, toddlers seats and bassinets. They are available in a variety of widths and weights that can accommodate children from newborns to kindergarten.

A good double stroller should be a breeze to move and fold, as well as allowing you to adjust the height of the handlebar to ensure you're in a comfortable position throughout your trips. A well-designed handlebar should be comfortable to hold and should allow you to walk with proper posture (ask other parents for advice on this). It should also offer a variety of storage options that accommodate everything you need for your children.

If your twins are similar age, a tandem stroller could be the best option for your family. These strollers have seats that are side-byside, so you can talk to them both while keeping an eye on both of them at the same time. They can also recline independently, so one child can nap and the other is ready to go.

The drawback of twin strollers is that it's wider than a single double stroller-occupant model, which can make it difficult to maneuver around sidewalks, shop aisles and narrow doors. For certain families, the advantages are worth the extra space and effort.

If you're looking for a compact double stroller the UPPAbaby Vista V2 pushchair double is a great choice. Its shock absorption, sleek design, and capacity for two infant car seats, plus an optional running board for more mobile children -- make it a great option for urban living.

A wagon-style double stroller like the Delta Children LX Stroller Side-by-Side is another option. This basic model comes with lots of space for seating and storage space, along with heavy-duty wheels that manage any terrain. It also comes with an umbrella with 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. Some parents complain that the seats are too low and cannot recline fully flat, which makes it difficult for little children to reach their snack trays or get comfortable.

User-Friendliness

A double stroller is usually an investment of a large amount and one you're hoping to use for years. When shopping for one, you want to ensure that it's easy to use and clean. Fortunately, the best double strollers are designed to be as user-friendly as they can and include a variety of convenient features for parents.

All the strollers we tested fold easily and compactly with just one hand. They are also light and ideal for traveling. Many of them fit in the majority of trunks and are checked for gate-checking on planes. Many of our test subjects found that their strollers could fold down smaller than their single-seat equivalents. Some even had a carrying strap.

The Valco Snap Duo trend is a double stroller that has a lot of versatility 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 the age of preschool. Each seat has a 5-point harness and an enormous canopy that offers ample protection from the sun.

The Joovy Twin Roo is another option that is highly regarded. It is light and extremely compact, weighing just 22 lbs and 26 inches wide when it's folded. The front seat reclines to almost a full flat position and the back seat comes with an adjustable recline for each child. There's a large storage basket and an easy, one-step connected parking brake that makes this stroller user-friendly and easy to maneuver.

The only downsides of the Joovy Twin Roo were minor and specific to the model in question. Kerry says that the packaging is clever and fun, but it comes in five boxes, which can be a bit heavy to carry around. She also found the Genuis magnetic clasp somewhat awkward, and it took her a while before she could master it. She was pleased with the stroller in the end and would highly recommend it.

Storage

Strollers come in all sizes and shapes, from tandem doubles that are side-by-side to (single-file seating) styles, and a lot allow you to customize your setup by adding a bassinet or a car seat attachment. Some even have add-on rider boards designed for older kids. However, not all of them are made equal. Some are elegant and simple to use, whereas others are bulky, heavy and difficult to fold and store.

If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller, take a look at the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite. It was the lightest choice in our tests, weighing around 23 pounds and is also easy to fold, yet it has all the features parents need to enjoy a great time with two kids.

The Vista v2 Double from UPPAbaby is another model that our testers loved particularly for its sleek design and ease of use. It can accommodate two infant car seats, or a toddler's bassinet and seat without the need for adapters. Its rear seat can be removed to make it into a triple or quad stroller. It comes with a large storage basket that can be upgraded to include a parent organizer with wheels for all-terrain and side storage bags.

Billingsley states that the best double stroller to use for a toddler is one with various options for customization. This includes a seat or bassinet that can be removed. Toddlers are often limited in their endurance and strollers with a bassinet attached will offer a safe spot for them to rest. A double stroller should also have a good harness system and recline positions, as well as plenty of storage space for snacks and toys.

The ZOE Twin+ is a popular choice among parents due to its light weight and flexibility. It is gate-check-friendly for airlines, fits through most doorways (without taking off the wheels at the front), and can be converted into a quad or triple stroller by adding an additional tandem. Its near-flat independently reclining seats, extra-long sun canopy and footrests that can be adjusted are other highlights, while its large underseat storage basket and inclusion of parent and kid cup holders complete the impressive set of features. The only disadvantage, according to Taylor the manufacturer, is that it lacks a a small footprint when folded and can be difficult to stow.
