How to Choose the Best Double Stroller

There are many options available in the field of double strollers. Katie Billingsley, a child development expert and mother, has helped us select the best one for you.

Find a stroller that's fairly easy to fold, push and carry. Also, consider a stroller that is able to accommodate two infant car seats or a toddler and a rider board.

Safety

Look for a double-stroller that comes with all-terrain tires and a brake that is operated with a hand if you want to keep the kids safe while walking. These wheels and brakes aid you in traversing trails, gravel, and sidewalks without the risk of your children sliding or rolling away. The best double strollers come with plenty of storage space for gear as well as kids-sized items like snacks and toys.

The first step in choosing the right double stroller is to figure out how old your children are and how far apart they are. Most double strollers only accommodate one child seat. However, those that do have a variety options that let you pick the seating that is ideal for your family.

Side-byside doubles are a popular option, and they're great for kids of similar ages who want to be social with one another. Some double-decker designs allow you to place one seat over the other, or attach a riderboard for older siblings. Babies can be placed in a bassinet attached to the frame or as an individual attachment that offers the chance to peek at your baby. If you have twins or are expecting twins, a dedicated twin stroller is the best way to go.

Choose a stroller with two wheels that can handle off-road terrain, and even hiking. A lot of these strollers are designed with active parents in mind, and come with features that let you take your children on any adventure, regardless of how rough the path or how steep the climbs may be.

In addition to all-terrain tires the best double strollers have thoughtful features that make getting around difficult terrain and weather more enjoyable. For example this jogging stroller comes with a wrist loop for your child, so you can be sure that they're safe when you run downhill or at speeds that are higher. It also comes with a full-coverage canopy that is ventilated to keep your children cool in the summer heat.

If you're looking for a lightweight, compact double stroller, take a look at this model by Joovy. It weighs just 23 lbs, making it lighter than other single strollers and perfect to take on air travel or for storing in trunks and overhead compartments. Plus, it has an enormous storage basket as well as a parking brake that is linked in one step that is easy to use.

Seating

Double strollers of today are sleeker and can be set up in a variety of ways to meet the needs of your family. Some are used as traditional side-by-side strollers, while others -- like the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double Stroller - function as a base for car seats, toddler seats, or bassinets snap into. They are available in a variety of widths and weights that can accommodate children from newborns up to kindergarten.

A quality double stroller should be easy to maneuver and fold, while allowing you to adjust the handlebar height so you're in a comfortable position throughout your trips. A good handlebar is easy to grip and should encourage you to walk in a proper manner (ask for advice from other parents). It should also provide various storage options that accommodate all the necessities you'll require for your children.

If your twins are close in age, you may discover that a tandem stroller is best for your family. These models come with seats that are side-by-side, which means you can interact with them both while keeping an eye on each of them at the same time. They can also recline separately so that one child can sleep while the other is awake and ready to go.

The downside of a twin stroller could be that it's wider than one designed for a single person. This can make it difficult to navigate narrow doorways, store aisles, or walkways. For some families, however the benefits are worth the extra effort and size.

If you're in the market for a compact double stroller (visit the up coming post), the UPPAbaby Vista Double is a fantastic choice. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 double travel stroller is an excellent choice for urban living due to its shock absorption, elegant design, and ability to accommodate two infant car seats. It also has an optional running board that can be used by older children who are mobile.

A wagon-style double stroller like the Delta Children LX Stroller Side-by-Side is another alternative. This model is bare-bones and offers plenty of seating space and storage, plus heavy-duty wheels that manage any terrain. It also comes with an SPF canopy that is 50+ and adjustable handlebars. Some parents complain that the seats are too low and do not recline completely flat, making it difficult for children to reach their snacks or get comfortable.

Easy of Use

A double stroller is often an investment of a large amount and one that you hope to use for many years. When shopping for one, you want to ensure that it is simple to operate and clean. Fortunately, the best double strollers are designed to be as user-friendly as is possible and come with a wide array of features that are convenient for parents.

For starters, all the strollers we tested fold easily and compactly (with one hand!). They are also light and are ideal for traveling. A majority of them are checked for gate entry on airplanes and fit in most trunks. Most of our testers also discovered that their strollers can be folded down much smaller than the single seat equivalents. Some even had a carry strap.

If you're looking for a flexible double stroller that will adapt to your family's needs take a look at the Valco Snap Duo Trend. This side-byside stroller is compatible with infant car seats, bassinets, and other accessories, meaning you can use it from birth to preschool age. Each seat features five-point harnesses and a large canopy. It also offers ample sun protection.

Another option that is highly regarded is the Joovy Twin Roo. It is light and extremely compact, weighing just 22 pounds and 26 inches in width when folded. The front seat reclines almost to the full flat position and the back seat comes with an adjustable recline that can be adjusted for each child. There's a huge storage basket and an easy, one-step linked parking brake that makes this stroller simple to move and use.

The only downsides to the Joovy Twin Roo are minor and specific to this model. Kerry says that the packaging is smart and fun, but it comes in five boxes, which can be a bit heavy to carry around. She also found that Genuis's magnetic buckle was a bit awkward and took a while to master. However, in the end, she was very happy with the stroller and would highly recommend it.

Storage

Strollers come in all sizes and shapes, ranging from tandems with side-by-side doubles to tandem (single-file seating) designs, and many allow you to modify your setup with a bassinet, or car seat attachment. Some come with rider boards for older siblings. There are many different types of rider boards. Some are light and easy to use while others are heavy, bulky and difficult to fold.

If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller, check out the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite. It was the lightest stroller we tested in our tests, weighing just under 23 lbs. It's also easy to fold and has all the features parents need for a fun day out with two kids.

The Vista v2 Double from UPPAbaby is a second model that our testers loved particularly for its sleek design and ease of use. It can fit two infant car seats or a toddler bassinet as well as a seat without adapters. The rear seat can be removed to make it into a triple or quad stroller. It comes with a large storage basket and can be upgraded to include an organizer for parents with wheels for all-terrain and side storage bags.

Billingsley says that the ideal double stroller for a two-year-old is one that supports various options for customization, such as the ability to remove a seat or a bassinet. Toddlers are typically limited in their endurance and a stroller that has a bassinet attached will provide a safe place for them to sleep. She suggests that a double stroller should include a harness system that is reliable and recline positions, as well as plenty of storage space for snacks and toys.

The ZOE Twin+ is popular among parents due to its lightweight and versatility. It's gate-check-friendly on airlines, fits through most doorways (without removing the wheels on the front) and can be converted to a triple or quad stroller by adding an add-on tandem. Its nearly-flat, independently reclining seats, extra-long sun canopy and adjustable footrests are further highlights, while its large underseat storage area and the inclusion of kid and parent cup holders round out the impressive feature set. Taylor says that the only drawback is that it has an enormous profile when folded, and can be difficult for parents to store.
