How to Choose the Best Double Stroller There are many options available when it comes to double strollers. Katie Billingsley, a child development expert and mother, helped us choose the right one for you. Look for a stroller that's fairly easy to fold, push and carry. And consider a model that can accommodate two infant car seats or a toddler and a rider board. Safety Find a double-stroller that comes with all-terrain tires and a brake that is operated by hand if want to keep the kids safe when walking. These wheels and brake aid you in traversing trails as well as sidewalks, gravel, and other paths without the risk of your children sliding or slipping away. The best double strollers come with plenty of storage space for items for your kids, including snacks and toys. The first step in selecting the best double stroller is to figure out the age of your children and how far apart they are. A majority of double strollers can only accommodate one child seat. However, some offer a variety of configurations that allow you to choose the seating that's best for your family. The classic doubles are perfect for children of similar ages who like to interact. Certain models feature a double-decker design, which allows you to place one of the seats above the other or add an extra rider board for older siblings. Newborns can be placed in a bassinet that is attached to the frame or in an attachment that lets you look at your baby. If you have twins or are expecting twins, a dedicated twin stroller is the way to go. Look for a double-wheeled stroller that is capable of handling off-road terrain, and even hiking. Many strollers were created with active parents and their children in mind. They have features that will let you take them on any adventure no matter how rough or high the climbs are. The top double strollers are equipped with intelligent features that make it easier to navigate in difficult terrain and bad weather. For instance, this jogging stroller includes a wrist loop for your child so you'll be able to ensure that they're safe when you run downhill or at higher speeds. It also features a canopy with full coverage that is ventilated to keep your children cool during summer heat. This model is a compact and compact double stroller from Joovy. It weighs in at just over 23 lbs, making it lighter than most single strollers, and ideal for air travel or storage in trunks and overhead compartments. It also comes with a huge storage basket and an integrated parking brake that's easy to use. Seating Double strollers today are sleeker and can be set up in a variety of ways to suit your family. Some of them function as traditional side-byside strollers while others—such as the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double Stroller—work as a base for car seats, toddler seats or bassinets snap into. They are available in a range of widths and weights that can accommodate children from newborns through kindergarten. A good double stroller will be easy to fold and move and will allow you to adjust your handlebar height to ensure you are comfortable throughout your excursions. A great handlebar should be comfortable to hold and should invite you to walk in a proper form (ask other parents for advice on this). It should also offer a variety of storage options that accommodate everything you need for your kids. If your twins have a similar age and are in the same age group, a tandem stroller might be the best choice for your family. These strollers have seats that are side-by-side which means you can interact with them both and keep an eye on both of them at the same time. They also recline independently, so that one child can lie down while the other is awake and ready to go. The disadvantage of a twin stroller may be that it's wider than a stroller designed for a single person. This makes it difficult to navigate narrow doorways, store aisles, or the sidewalks. However, for certain families, the advantages are worth the extra space and effort. If you are looking for a compact double-stroller, then the UPPAbaby V2 Double is a great option. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double is a great choice for city living thanks to its shock absorption, elegant design, and ability to accommodate two infant car seats. It also comes with an optional running board that can be used by older children who are mobile. Another option is a wagon-style double stroller, such as the Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller. This model is bare-bones and offers plenty of seating space and storage, plus sturdy wheels that can handle any terrain. It also has an umbrella with 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. Some parents complain that the seats are too low and cannot recline completely flat, making it difficult for children to reach their snacks or relax. Easy of Use Double strollers are usually a large investment that you will be using for a long time. When shopping for one you need to make sure it will be easy to use and clean. The top double stroller s are designed to be user-friendly and include many useful features. For starters, all the strollers we tested fold up easily and compactly (with just one hand!). They are also light and are ideal for traveling. They can fit in most trunks and can be gate-checked on airplanes. Furthermore, the majority our test subjects found that their strollers folded to a smaller size than their single-seat counterparts, and some even included the option of carrying a strap for carrying. 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-byside stroller is compatible with infant car seats, bassinets, and other accessories, meaning you can use it from birth until the age of preschool. Each seat has a 5-point harness and a large canopy that gives ample shade from the sun. Another popular option is the Joovy Twin Roo. The stroller is light and incredibly compact, measuring just 22 lbs and 26 inches wide when it's folded. The front seat reclines almost to a flat position, and the back seat can be adjusted for every child. This stroller is easy to maneuver and use thanks to its large storage basket, easy one-step parking brake, and large storage basket. The only downsides of the Joovy Twin Roo were minor and specific to the model in question. Kerry says that the packaging was fun and clever, however it came in five boxes, which can be an inconvenience to carry around. She also found that the Genuis magnetic buckle was awkward and took a while to master. However, in the end she was very pleased with the stroller and would highly recommend it. Stores Strollers come in a variety of sizes and shapes, from tandems with side-by-side doubles to tandem (single-file seating) designs, and many allow you to customize your setup by adding a bassinet or a car seat attachment. Some even have add-on rider boards for older siblings. However, not all of them are created equal. Some are sleek and easy to use, whereas others are bulky, heavy and difficult to fold and store. If you're looking for a light double stroller, look into the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite. It was the lightest stroller in our tests, with a weight of less than 23 pounds. It's also easy to fold and has all the features parents need to enjoy a day out with two children. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double is another model that our test subjects loved especially for its sleek design and easy to use. It can accommodate two infant car seats, a toddler seat and a bassinet. There are no adapters required. The rear seat can be removed to create a triple or quad stroller. It comes with a large basket for storage, and can be upgraded with a parent organizer and all-terrain tires, as as side storage bags. Billingsley says that the ideal double stroller for a toddler is one that has various options for customization, such as an adjustable seat or bassinet. Toddlers are typically restricted in their endurance, so strollers with an attached bassinet will offer a safe spot for them to nap. She suggests that a double stroller must also have a good harness system and recline positions, as well as plenty of storage space for snacks and toys. The ZOE Twin+ is popular with parents due to its light weight and versatility. It's airline gate-check-friendly, fits through most doors (without having to remove the front wheels), and can expand into a triple or quad stroller that has an additional tandem seat. The nearly flat, independently reclined seats as well as the extra-long sun canopy that can be adjusted are among the other features. A large underseat basket and the inclusion of parent and child cup holders complete this impressive feature set. The one downside according to Taylor, is that it lacks a a small profile when folded, and could be difficult to stow.
