How to Choose the Best Double Strollers

If you're taking an easy stroll or taking on your morning jog with the children, a double stroller could make life with twins or two kids with different ages a lot simpler. But with so many options out there to choose from, how do you pick the most appropriate one for your family?

This expandable model allows you to adjust the seating for different needs. Our new member, Kerry, tested it out.

Safety

Your stroller must be secure no matter if you're out running shopping trips with your kids, taking them to the zoo, or going trick-or-treating. It's essential to have a sturdy frame, comfortable harnesses and easy-to-grab handle for toddlers. It should also be able to pass through doorways and be easy to maneuver and fold. And of course, it should be worth the money.

Each double stroller that we tested was put through rigorous testing in our lab at the zoo, in our lab and on city streets. We also took them out for family outings in suburban neighborhoods. Our lab tests test the stroller's maneuverability, stability and ease of steering. We also test the comfort of the suspension for both the driver and rider and the weight capacity, height of the canopy for the seat, and the storage space.

We ask parents to provide feedback on each model, in addition to the routine safety check carried out by our team. Then, we take all that information into account when making recommendations.

If you're looking for a secure stroller that is high-quality, then start with our top choices. These strollers are versatile and offer a variety of seating options for infant car seats. They can be used as a single stroller double or tandem and are suitable for children from birth through elementary school.

The best double strollers are designed to adapt to the needs of your family. They're stylish and sleek, support a variety of customizations and can accommodate toddlers and infants in tandem or side-byside (single-file) seating styles. They also come with a large storage basket and a telescoping handlebar and one-handed folding mechanisms.

Consider a tandem stroller with benches at the back for a third child if you have twins, or a child who is similar in age. They're a great option for siblings who wish to interact with each other, but may not be capable of sitting close to one another in a stroller that is side-by-side and end with fighting or arguing. There are convertible models that permit you to take off the bench seat when your children are ready for an excursion without a car seat.

Comfort

The best double strollers feature comfortable child seats that are well-padded and well-supported. They also come with plenty of storage space, large footwells that can accommodate kids' feet and legroom, and UPF 50+ canopies that provide great sun protection. The seats should recline at an angle to ensure children are comfortable, and they should have calf bars that allow parents to alter the position of each seat individually. Alli Cavasino is a certified child safety technician. She says that the handlebars must be ergonomic and easy to maneuver. The handlebars should be close enough to the children's' seats that you can reach them and grasp them. If the handlebars are too separated you'll have a difficult in keeping your balance and retaining good posture when pushing them.

The ride should be smooth, even on rough or uneven surfaces. Some of the models that we tested had shock absorbers to keep the ride stable. Certain models come with front and back suspension which enhances control and reduces the force needed to push them. The wheels must have a sturdy tread and made of premium rubber.

We looked for the most versatile double strollers that can be used from to toddlerhood. A couple of the ones we found can be configured as side-by-side or tandem strollers, and one of them, the Uppababy Vista v2, can even transform into a single-file stroller suitable for infants. This model is three times as expensive as our primary tandem option, but its materials are more durable, and it will last longer.

The most effective double strollers are lightweight and able to be maneuvered for long walks, trips to the zoo, park as well as for running other errands. They're typically wider than single strollers, which means they may not be able to fit through narrow entrances or crowded store aisles. Some are also priced more than their single-seat counterparts however, it's logical considering that you're getting a lot more value for your dollars. The models we recommend are suitable for adults and children alike and will expand with your family.

Convenience

If you're going to spend the money on a double buggy that converts to single twin stroller, you'll need one that is easy to move and to store. Ideally, the stroller will be lightweight and fit in the trunk of your car or in the space at home. It should be able to maneuver rough terrain and make tight turns. Some of the top double-strollers have adjustable calf supports, as well as seats that recline. They also offer UPF sun protection. The canopy should be big enough to accommodate two children. If you're worried about the sun's rays getting into their eyes, go for the stroller with a peek-aboo window.

The ages and stages of your children will play a role in the type of stroller that's the best for you. For example, parents of twins may choose a convertible stroller that holds two infant car seats simultaneously and families with an older child and a toddler may prefer a side-byside double. It is also important to determine whether you'd like a stroller that fits through narrow doors or in crowded aisles of the grocery store and is able to be used on planes.

In our Lab tests, we found that the majority of double strollers were easy to fold and carry. Most double strollers fold in a matter of one or two steps and are compact enough to fit into most compact cars. They are also designed to be stable, making them easier to put back together.

Some of the best double-strollers come with convenient parent features like a cup holder for one parent and a big storage basket. Be sure to check if the stroller is equipped with a lock on the front seat to stop your child from climbing out. Some of the better strollers include an adapter for carseats that is universal and can be converted into an individual-seater model as your children get older.

The cost of some of the top double strollers is expensive, but they usually have better build quality and resale value compared to lower-end models. They are also more maneuverable and can withstand rough terrain, such as park trails or city sidewalks.

Style

Parents shopping for a double stroller want more than just a means to transport two kids. They're looking for a light stroller that can be maneuvered with sufficient storage space on the inside and thoughtful features to adapt to the changing needs of children. It should also be simple to push and maneuver. Because they will be carrying more than children, the stroller must be easy on their back and shoulders.

The best double strollers are sleek and support a variety of customizations. They can also accommodate infant car seats to ensure an easy transition from baby to toddler. They are available in tandem (single-file seating) or side-by-side, and are even light enough for jogging.

Aside from size one of the primary aspects to consider when parents are shopping for a double stroller is whether it'll fit through doorways and other tight spaces. Luckily, the majority of strollers we tested in our latest update can clear standard exterior doors that measure 36 inches wide. The they can be used for interior doors that measure 28 to 35 inches wide.

When reviewing the best double strollers, we take into consideration how easy they fold and unfold. We also take a look at how well-padded the seats and canopy are. We also examine how comfortable the seat straps and buckles are for sitting kids and how easy it is to access and adjust the height of the handlebar.

For example, our top pick, the Uppababy Vista V2, is lightweight and has ample onboard storage for both children. It has a cup for parents seat that reclines independently, and large UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. The straps and buckles are padded and among the most comfortable we have tested. We also found it to be the easiest seat for children to fasten.

If you're not ready to purchase a double stroller, Facebook Marketplace and second-hand-goods websites are able to offer used items in good condition for reasonable costs. Be sure to do your research and look for any signs of damage before you buy.
