How to Choose the Best Double Stroller If you're looking for a double stroller there are plenty of options. Katie Billingsley, a child development expert and mother, was able to help us select the best one for you. It is recommended to choose a stroller that is simple to fold and push, as well as carry. And consider a model that's versatile enough to accommodate two car seats for infants or a toddler and a rider board. Safety Look for a double-stroller that comes with all-terrain tires and a brake that can be operated by hand if want to keep your kids safe while walking. These wheels and brake aid you in traversing trails, gravel, and sidewalks without your children falling or rolling away. The best double strollers also come with plenty of storage space for gear as well as kid-sized necessities like snacks and toys. The best double stroller for your family starts by understanding the age and distance in age. Many double strollers only allow one child seat, but those are available in a variety of configurations so you can pick the seating option that best suits your kids and your lifestyle. The classic doubles are ideal for children of similar age who want to play. Some options have a more double-decker design, which allows you to place one seat above the other or attach a rider board to older siblings. Babies can be placed in a bassinet attached to the frame, or as a standalone attachment that offers a peek-a-boo view of your baby. If you have twins or are expecting twins, a twin stroller is the way to go. Look for a double-wheeled stroller that can handle off-road terrain and even hiking. Many of these strollers were developed with active parents and their children in mind. They come with features that allow you to take them on any trip, no matter how rough or high the climbs may be. In addition to all-terrain tires the best double strollers have thoughtful features that make navigating difficult terrain and weather more enjoyable. 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 extreme weather conditions. It also features an all-over canopy that has airflow to keep your kids cool in the summer heat. This model is a light and compact double stroller from Joovy. It weighs less than 23 lbs. It's perfect for air travel and storage in trunks or overhead compartments. It also comes with an enormous storage basket as well as a one-step linked parking brake that is easy to use. Seating Double strollers today are sleeker and can be configured in many ways to fit 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 that car seats, toddler seats, or bassinets snap into. They are available in a variety of widths and weights to accommodate children from newborns to kindergarten. A quality double stroller should be easy to fold and maneuver and will allow you to adjust the height of your handlebar to ensure that you're comfortable on all of your outings. A well-designed handlebar is easy to hold and will encourage you to walk in a proper manner (ask for advice from other parents). It should have a range of storage options to fit everything your children will need. If your twins have a similar age, a tandem stroller may be the ideal option for your family. These strollers have seats that are side-byside, so you can interact with them both while keeping an eye on both of them at the same. They also recline separately which means that one child can rest while the other is ready to go. The disadvantage of a twin stroller is that it can be wider than a single-occupant model and can make it difficult to navigate walkways, aisles for shopping, and narrow doorways. For certain families, however, the benefits are worth the extra effort and size. If you are looking for a small double-stroller, then the UPPAbaby V2 Double is a great alternative. Its shock absorbers, streamlined design and the capacity to accommodate two infant car seats—plus an optional running board for older children—make it an ideal choice for city living. A wagon-style double stroller, such as the Delta Children LX Stroller Side-by-Side is another option. The model is basic however it has plenty of space for storage and seating. It also has sturdy wheels to tackle any terrain. It also comes with a canopy with 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. However, some parents feel that the seats are too low and they don't recline to a completely flat position, which makes it difficult for small children to get comfortable or reach their snack tray. Simple to use Double strollers are usually an investment that will be using for a long time. If you are looking for a double stroller, be sure it's easy to use and clean. Luckily, the top double strollers are designed to be as user-friendly as possible and come with a wide array of convenient features for parents. All the strollers we tested can be folded easily and compactly using just one hand. These strollers are lightweight and ideal for traveling. A majority of them are checked at the gate on planes and fit in most trunks. Most of our testers also discovered that their strollers can be folded down smaller than their single-seat equivalents. Some even had a carry strap. If you're in search of a multi-purpose double stroller that can adapt to your family's needs, look no further than the Valco Snap Duo Trend. This side-byside stroller is compatible with infant car seats, a bassinet, and other accessories, which means you can use it from birth until preschool age. Each seat has a 5-point harness and a large canopy. It also offers ample sun protection. The Joovy Twin Roo is another option that's highly regarded. This stroller is lightweight and incredibly compact, measuring just 22 lbs and 26 inches in width when folded. The front seat reclines to a flat stance, and the back seat can be adjusted to fit every child. The stroller is simple to operate and maneuver due to its large storage basket, easy parking brake that is one step and a large storage basket. The only drawbacks to the Joovy Twin Roo were minor and specific to the model in question. Kerry says that the packaging is innovative and fun, however it comes in five boxes which can be a bit heavy to carry around. She also found the Genuis magnetic clasp somewhat difficult to use and took her a while before she was able to master it. However, in the end, she was very happy with the stroller and would definitely recommend it. Stores Strollers come in all sizes and shapes, from tandem doubles that are side-by-side to (single-file seating) designs, and many allow you to modify your layout with a bassinet, or car seat attachment. Some have rider boards that can be added for older siblings. They're not created equal. Some are lightweight and easy to use, whereas others are heavy, bulky and difficult to fold. If you are seeking a stroller with a light weight that can accommodate two children and two children, the Joovy Caboose Graphite is a great option. It was the lightest choice in our tests, weighing close to 23 lbs and is also easy to fold, but it has all the features parents need to enjoy a great time with two kids. UPPAbaby's Vista v2 double is another model our testers loved. They especially liked its sleek design and easy-to-use. It can accommodate two infant car seats, a toddler's seat, and a bassinet with no adapters needed. The rear seat can also be removed to create a quad or triple stroller. It has a large storage basket that can be upgraded to include a parent organizer, all-terrain wheels, and side storage bags. Billingsley states that the ideal double stroller for toddlers is one that offers various options for customization, such as the ability to remove a seat or a bassinet. This is because toddlers typically have limited endurance, and having a stroller that has an attachment for a bassinet will provide them with a safe spot to rest for a nap. She suggests that a double stroller should also have a great harness and recline position and plenty of storage space for snacks and toys. The ZOE Twin+ is a popular choice for parents because of its light weight and flexibility. It's gate-check-friendly on airlines, fits through most doorways (without removing the wheels on the front), and can be made to a triple or quad stroller by adding an extra tandem. The nearly flat, independently reclined seats and extra-long sun canopy that can be adjusted are among the other features. A large underseat storage basket, as well as cup holders for both parents and children round out this impressive feature set. One downside according to Taylor, is that it doesn't have a an elongated profile when folded and can be difficult to store.
