How to Choose the Best Double Stroller There are a variety of options in the field of double strollers. Katie Billingsley, a child development expert and mother, was able to help us choose the right one for you. You should choose a stroller which is easy to fold, push and carry. Also, consider a stroller that's versatile enough to accommodate two infant car seats or a toddler and an adult rider board. Safety Find a double-stroller that includes all-terrain wheels as well as a brake that can be operated with a hand if you want to ensure your children are safe when walking. These wheels and brake aid you in traversing trails as well as sidewalks, gravel, and other paths without your children falling or rolling away. The best double strollers come with plenty of storage space for gear and essentials for kids, such as snacks and toys. Choosing the right double stroller for your family starts by understanding how old and distant in age. Most double strollers can only allow one child seat, however, those do come with various configurations so that you can select the seating option that best suits your kids and your lifestyle. Side-byside doubles are a popular option, and are great for children of similar ages who like to be social with one another. Some double-decker designs allow you to put one of the seats over the other, or add an additional riderboard for older siblings. Newborns can be placed in a bassinet attached to the frame or with an attachment that allows you to look at your baby. If you are expecting twins or have twins then a twin stroller is the best choice. For families who are more adventurous opt for a double stroller that can take on off-road terrains or even hike. A lot of these strollers have been designed with active parents in mind, and have features that allow you to take your children to any adventure, no matter how rough the path or how high the climbs may be. In addition to all-terrain tires the best double strollers have clever features that make traversing 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 has an all-over canopy that's ventilated to keep your kids cool during the summer heat. This model is a light and compact double stroller from Joovy. It weighs in at just over 23 pounds, which makes it lighter than most single strollers. It's ideal for air travel or storage in overhead compartments or trunks. Plus, it has a large storage basket and a one-step linked parking brake that's easy to use. Seating Double strollers are now sleeker and can be set up in various ways to fit your family. Some double strollers are designed to be used as side-by-side models, while others, like the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Dual Stroller, can be used as a base for car seats, toddler seats as well as bassinets. They come in various widths and weight limits to fit children from birth to kindergarten. A good double stroller must be easy to maneuver and fold, while allowing you to adjust the height of the handlebar to ensure you're able to walk comfortably throughout your excursions. A great handlebar is one that is easy to grip, and it should allow you to walk with proper posture (ask parents for advice on this). It should also offer various storage options that accommodate all the essentials you'll need for your kids. If your twins are close in age, you might find a tandem stroller works best for your family. The seats of these models are positioned together, allowing you to engage with them both and keep an eye on them simultaneously. They also recline independently so that one child can sleep while the other is awake and ready to go. The disadvantage of a twin stroller could be that it's wider than one designed for a single person. This could make it difficult to navigate narrow doorways, store aisles, or the sidewalks. However, for some families, the advantages are worth the extra space and effort. If you're looking for a compact double stroller the UPPAbaby Vista Double is a great option. Its shock absorption, sleek design and capacity for two infant car seats—plus an optional running board for mobile older children — make it a great option for city-living. Another option is a wagon-style stroller, like the Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller. This bare-bones model offers plenty of seating space and storage space, along with heavy-duty wheels that manage any terrain. It also has a 50+ SPF canopy and adjustable handlebars. However, some parents feel that the seats are too low and they don't recline to a fully flat position, which makes it difficult for small children to get comfortable or reach their snack tray. Easy of Use A double stroller can be a significant investment and one that you hope to use for a long time. When you are shopping for one, you want to ensure that it is easy to operate and clean. The best double strollers are designed to be user-friendly and have many useful features. To start, all the strollers we tested fold up easily and compactly (with one hand!). They are also light and perfect for travel. A lot of them can be checked at the gate on planes and fit in the majority of trunks. In addition, the majority of our testers reported that their strollers folded down to smaller dimensions than their single-seat counterparts and some even included a carry strap for convenient carrying. If you're looking for a flexible double stroller that can grow with your family Look no further than the Valco Snap Duo Trend. This side-by-side stroller works with infant car seats, a bassinet, and other accessories, meaning you can use it from birth until the age of preschool. Each seat comes with a 5-point harness and a large canopy that gives ample protection from the sun. The Joovy Twin Roo is another option that's highly praised. This stroller is lightweight, compact and only 22 pounds when folded. The front seat reclines to nearly an entire flat position, and the back seat has an adjustable recline for every child. The stroller is simple to operate and maneuver due to its large storage basket, simple one-step parking brake and large storage basket. The only downsides of the Joovy Twin Roo were minor and specific to this particular 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 the Genuis magnetic clasp to be somewhat awkward and took her some time before she could master it. In the end, however she was extremely pleased with her stroller and would highly recommend it. Storage Strollers are available in various sizes and styles, including tandems (single-file seating) and side-by-side doubles and some that let you customize the configuration using an automobile seat or bassinet attachment. Some come with rider boards which can be added for older children. However, they're not all created equal — some are elegant and simple to use, whereas others are heavy, bulky and difficult to fold or stow. If you're looking to purchase a light double stroller, take a look at the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite. It was the lightest option in our tests, weighing around 23 pounds and is also simple to fold, but it still has all of the features parents require to enjoy a great time with two children. The Vista v2 Double from UPPAbaby is a second model that our testers loved especially for its sleek design and ease of use. It can accommodate two infant car seats, a toddler's seat, and a bassinet with 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 an organizer for parents as well as all-terrain tires, as well as side storage bags. Billingsley states that the best double stroller for a toddler is one that offers different options for customization, including a removable seat or bassinet. Toddlers are typically weak in endurance, and strollers that have an integrated bassinet can give them a safe space for them to sleep. She says that a double stroller must also have a great recline position and harness system and plenty of storage space for toys and snacks. The ZOE Twin+ is a popular choice among parents due to its light weight and versatility. It's gate-check-friendly on airlines it can be accessed through all doors (without taking off the wheels on the front) and can be expanded into a quad or triple stroller by adding an add-on tandem. The nearly flat, independently reclined seats and extra-long sun canopies that are adjustable are among the other features. A large underseat basket as well as cup holders for both parents and children complete this impressive feature set. One drawback, according to Taylor the manufacturer, is that it lacks a an elongated profile when folded and can be difficult to store.
