How to Choose the Best Double StrollersIf you're taking an easy stroll or taking on your morning jog with your children, a double stroller will make life with twins or two kids of different ages much easier. With the many options available, how do you choose the most appropriate one for your family?Our newest team member, Kerry, got her stroller testing feet wet with this expandable model that allows you to change the seating configuration to suit different requirements.SafetyIf you're running through the zoo, running errands, or heading out trick-or-treating with your kids stroller must be safe. It's important to have a sturdy frame as well as comfortable harnesses that are easy to grab handle for toddlers. It should also fit through doors, be easy to fold and maneuver, and be easy to maneuver. It should also be affordable.Every double stroller we tested went through rigorous testing in our laboratory at the zoo, in our lab and on city streets. We also took them on family outings to suburban neighborhoods. Our lab tests evaluate the stroller's stability and maneuverability as well as ease of steering and handling as well as the comfort of suspension for the rider and the driver capacity for weight and seat canopy heights and storage space.We ask parents for feedback on each model, in addition to the standard safety check performed by our team. We then take into account all of that information when forming our recommendations.Take a look at our top picks if you're looking for an excellent stroller that is secure and durable. These strollers can be used in multiple seating options to accommodate infant car seats. They can be used as a single stroller or tandem and are suitable for children ranging from birth to elementary school.The best double strollers are designed to adapt to your growing family. They're stylish and sleek they can be fitted with a variety of customizations and can be used by toddlers and infants in a tandem or side-by-side (single-file) seating designs. Some also have large storage baskets and a handlebar that can be adjusted telescopically, and one-handed fold mechanisms.If you have twins or an infant who is similar age to their sibling, you should consider using a tandem stroller with a bench seat in the back that can be used by a 3rd child. These tandem strollers are ideal for siblings who wish to be together, but may not be able to sit side-by-side in a standard stroller. They may get into a fight or argue. You can also find convertible models, which permit you to remove the bench seat for your child when they're ready to ride without the car seat.ComfortThe best double strollers feature comfortable child seats that have plenty of padding and support. The top double strollers have plenty of storage, spacious footwells and legroom for kids, and a UPF 50+ canopy which provides fantastic sun protection. The seats should recline at a slight angle to ensure children are at ease, and they should have calf bars that allow parents to alter the position of each seat independently. The handlebars should be comfortable and easy to move according to Alli Cavasino, a certified child-passenger safety technician. The handlebars must be close enough to the seat of your child that you can grab them and hold them. If the handlebars on the stroller are too far apart it will be a challenge to keep your balance and maintain good posture while pushing them.The ride should be smooth even on rough or hard surfaces. Some of the models we tested have shock absorbers to ensure that the ride remains steady. Some have rear and front suspension, which can reduce the amount of force you need to push them and improve your control over them. The wheels should have a sturdy tread and be made from high-quality rubber.We looked for the most versatile double strollers that can be used from infancy through toddlerhood. A couple of the ones we found can be configured as tandem strollers or side-by-side and one, the Uppababy Vista v2, can even be converted into a single-file stroller designed for infants. The model is three times more than our standard tandem choice, but it's of higher quality and should last longer due to its robust materials.The best double strollers will be lightweight and able to be maneuvered for long walks or trips to the zoo or park as well as for running shopping trips. They're generally larger than single strollers, which means they might not be able to be able to fit through narrow entrances or store aisles that are crowded. Some are also priced more than single-seat models however, it's logical considering that you're getting a much better value for your budget. These models are suitable for both adults and children and will grow with your family.ConvenienceIf you're planning to spend money on double-strollers, they should be easy to carry and store. The stroller should be light and easily fit in the trunk of your car or at home. It should be able to maneuver rough terrain and make tight turns. Some of the best double-strollers have adjustable calf support, and seats that recline. They also provide UPF sun protection. The canopy should be wide enough to cover both kids and, if you're concerned about getting the sun in their eyes, choose one with a peek-aboo window.The stage and age of your children will determine the type stroller you require. Parents with twins can opt for a convertible stroller that is able to hold two infant car seats simultaneously and families with a child who is older and a toddler might prefer side-by-side doubles. You'll also need to decide whether you want a stroller that fits through narrow entrances or aisles in grocery stores and is able to be used on airplanes.In our Lab tests, we found that the best double strollers are reasonably easy to fold and carry. Most double strollers fold in one or two steps, and are small enough to fit in the majority of compact cars. They are also designed to be stable, making them easier to put back together.Some of the top double stroller s feature practical features for parents like a one-parent cup holder as well as a large storage basket. You'll want to consider if the stroller has a lock on the front seat, to stop your kids from getting out in case they get bored. Some of the best strollers come with a universal car seat adapter and can be transformed into a single-seater as your children grow.The cost of some of the best double strollers is high, but they generally have better build quality and resale value than lower-end models. They're also easier to maneuver and can handle tough terrain, such as city sidewalks or park trails.StyleParents who are looking for a double stroller want more than just a way to carry two kids. They're looking for a lightweight stroller that is easy to move and has enough space to expand with their children. Also, since they'll carry more weight than their peers, the stroller should also be easy on shoulders and back.The best double strollers are sleek and offer a variety of customizations. They can also be able to accommodate infant car seats to ensure a smooth transition from baby-to-toddler. They are available in side-by-side or tandem (single-file seating) designs and can be light enough for jogging or travel.In addition to size one of the primary aspects to consider when parents are shopping for a double stroller is whether or not it can be used in doorways and other tight spaces. Fortunately, most of the strollers we tested in our most recent update can pass through doors that are standard for exteriors, which are 36 inches wide, and most can accommodate interior doors that measure 28 to 35 inches wide.When evaluating the top double strollers, we consider how easily they fold and unfold. We also look at how comfortable the seats and canopy are. Additionally, we take a look at how comfortable the seat straps and buckles are for seated kids and how easy it is to access and adjust the height of the handlebar.For instance our top pick is the Uppababy Vista V2, is light and has plenty of onboard storage for both children. It has one parent cup seat that reclines independently, and generous UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. The seat's buckles and straps are padded and are among the most comfortable we have tested. We also found it to be the easiest seat for children to fasten.If you're not quite ready to buy a double stroller, Facebook Marketplace and other second-hand-goods websites can provide excellent used models in good condition for reasonable prices. Just make sure to do your research before you buy to buying, examining for signs of damage and looking up possible recalls.
