How Easy Is It to Push and Fold a Double Stroller?

Whether you're taking your toddler for the streets or jogging with your twins, the perfect double stroller makes it easier for everyone to get around. Finding a double stroller which folds easily and is easy to push is essential.

Our Lab experts suggest side-byside models with equal recline and plenty of storage space, including car adapters for infants' seats.

Seating

Seating options are crucial when choosing a double-stroller. Based on your children's stages of development it is possible to consider a side-byside option that lets both children sit together or a tandem style that allows one child to stand while the other is seated.

Seating arrangements can also impact your comfort when you're navigating busy streets and sidewalks. You should consider strollers with reclined seats, footrests that recline and ample canopy options that provide shade for both passengers. Beware of hanging bags on the handlebars as they can alter the stroller's weight and encourage tipping.

Double strollers that are of good quality will also have convenient storage compartments for your essentials. Make sure you have compartments in the back of the seats or underneath the seats to keep toys, snacks and other necessities handy. Parent consoles and organizer bags connected to the handles are also useful to keep essentials in reach during walks or outings.

A side-byside triple pram is the best choice for parents with children of the same age. They're usually more stable than stacking types, and they offer better views for both passengers. Some options accept two infant car seats, allowing you to transfer your sleeping children from the car to the pram for newborn without disturbing them.

Sit-and-stand models are a good option for parents with older children who don't mind their children sitting on their own and prefer a little independence. They can also allow a larger child to ride along on the front. This kind of double-stroller is not newborn-compatible and may require more maintenance in the future. However, it can be an excellent option for families with active children who want the versatility of one stroller that transforms into a two-kid model.

The most effective double strollers are sturdy and easy to maneuver, even on rugged terrain or in tight spaces. They are also lightweight and foldable to make it easy to store them in your trunk or garage. This makes them easy to transport when traveling. Finally, they feature robust construction to ensure the longevity and safety of your children. Additionally, they are compliant with the American Academy of Pediatricians' (AAP) guidelines for safety.

Canopy

A canopy protects both the passengers and the sun's rays, and some models even offer the option of a visor that can further protect kids' faces. Our top-scoring canopy options included the BOB Revolution Flex v3.0 Duallie, and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Dual. Both have giant shades. Both models provide plenty of coverage and protect children from head to toe while inline models often skimp on shade or only provide a single canopy that only covers one seat. This can be a problem for siblings who require different levels of protection.

Most of our top-rated canopys can be fitted onto strollers easily. Be sure to verify the dimensions of the canopy prior to buying, as some may require extra space to expand fully and avoid hitting the handles.

Some parents prefer a double stroller with a bassinet and car seat adapters, as well as other accessories to provide them with more options later on. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double, for example, comes with a toddler seat as well as an added RumbleSeat. This makes it a perfect option for families with twins or young children and require transport at the same time. This versatile stroller also offers a unique sit-and-stand configuration for older children who prefer to ride on their own.

Other accessories that can make your stroller more functional include parent consoles and bags that organize, which allow you to keep things in reach. They're especially useful for strollers that don't get used often, when you might want to keep snacks and toys away from prying eyes. Some of these accessories are connected with a snap or strap that makes it simple to take them off when you're ready for the stroller to be used again.

If you're planning on an investment that will last for a long time opt for a double stroller that is compatible with infant car seats and can transform into a toddler stroller with an adjustable bench or glider board. Both the Graco travel stroller System RoomFor2 and UPPAbaby's Vista Duallie come with a bassinet that is compatible with car seats, a toddler's seat as well as a RumbleSeat. Both can expand into a triple stroller with the addition of a running board which is perfect for families that have an active child who likes to be on the move.

Wheels

The type of wheels that are used on the stroller makes a big difference in how it is simple or difficult to push. Generally, larger wheels are easier to maneuver and can handle more terrain. The material of the wheels can also impact how they are easy or difficult to push. Rubber wheels, for example are usually more durable and can stand up to rougher surfaces than plastic ones.

Stroller wheels come in different styles, sizes and materials to suit a variety of requirements and environments. For instance, swivel wheels help navigate narrow spaces and tight turns. Fixed wheels are more stable and better for smooth surfaces. If you intend to use your stroller on rough terrain or off-road, air-filled tires are better than standard rubber tires. These tires have a similar design to bicycle tires and absorb shocks, resulting in more comfortable riding.

Side-by-side double strollers are much larger than tandem strollers, and they can be difficult to maneuver through narrow entrances or aisles in stores. They give your children the same amount of space and let them stretch their legs. They are also generally more maneuverable than tandem strollers.

If you want to use your stroller for running or biking then look for pram sets a double jogger with special all-terrain or jogging tires. These tires are bigger and thicker, and come with sealed ball bearings to provide smoother rides on uneven surfaces. Certain models, such as the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller, are compatible with car seats, that allow you to run with your kids safely to their car seats.

Other all-terrain/jogging strollers like the Valco baby stroller Tri Mode Duo X can accommodate an additional child in the front, but they are too heavy to qualify as umbrella doubles. And in our testing the restraint buckles on this model were among the toughest to secure, which could be a problem when you're trying to fit two kids into the stroller at once. This stroller is priced higher than the top single to tandem option, but comes with high-quality components and an affordable resale value.

Stores

A good double stroller will have enough storage space for the children and the parents. Lack of storage makes it difficult for parents to get around town or bring along all the gear needed on an outing with two children. In our Lab tests we found that the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double scored well in this metric with a spacious and easily accessible basket that can hold up to 30lbs.

Strollers with pockets or compartments can aid families in keeping the track of small things, like phones, keys and wallets. A parent console or organizer bag attached to the handlebars may make a great place for moms and dads to store their own personal belongings when out with their children.

In addition to a spacious basket the UPPAbaby Vista comes with two infant car seats (though not both bassinets), and it has a telescoping handlebar as well as easy-to-use brakes. It also has the highest maximum weight rating in our lineup, and an adjustable fold that will fit the majority of door frames.

On the other hand our test participants discovered that the wagon-style Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite has a great adjustable handlebar, ideal for parents with different heights. The wagon also comes with two UV screens that fold up to provide full sun coverage, and its cup and snack tray holders can hold a variety of bottles and snacks for children.

The biggest issue with any stroller is folding it and bringing it back in shape after use. This is especially true for those who have a toddler or infant with you. It's essential to pick one that folds quickly and effortlessly. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand both feature an easy-to-use, single-handed mechanism that lets parents quickly and efficiently fold their stroller regardless of the configuration they're in.

Double strollers can be an investment that is costly however, parents who intend to use it for several years will pay more than they would for single strollers. It's also worth looking into whether a stroller can be broken down into parts for easier transport and storage This is a crucial factor if you're in a tight space for your vehicle or living space.
