How to Choose the Best Double Stroller

If you're looking for a double stroller there are plenty of options. To help you select the best one for your family, we spoke with experts in child development as well as mom Katie Billingsley.

You should choose a stroller which is easy to fold and push, as well as carry. And consider a model that's versatile enough to accommodate two infant car seats or a toddler and an adult rider board.

However, the ones that offer a variety of configurations that let you select the seating option that is ideal for your family.

Some double-decker designs allow you to place one of the seats over the other, or attach a riderboard for older siblings.

If you are expecting twins or already have twins and want to have a twin stroller, it is the best choice.

For families who are more adventurous, look for double strollers that can handle off-road terrain or even hike. A majority of these strollers were designed with active parents in mind and include features that allow you to take your kids on any adventure, no matter how rough the terrain or how high the climbs could be.

Seating

A quality double stroller should be simple to fold and maneuver, as well as allowing you to adjust your handlebar height to ensure that you're at ease on all your outings. A good handlebar is easy to hold and will encourage you to walk in a proper manner (ask for tips from other parents). It should also offer various storage options that can accommodate all the necessities you'll require for your children.

If your twins have a similar age and are in the same age group, a tandem stroller might be the best option for your family. These models have seats that are side-byside, which means you can interact with them both and keep an eye on both of them at the same time. They also recline separately so that one child can rest while the other is ready to go.

The disadvantage of a pushchair twin stroller could be that it is larger than a model that is designed for a single occupant. This makes it difficult to maneuver narrow doorways, store aisles, or the sidewalks. 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 an excellent option. Its shock absorption, streamlined design and the capacity to accommodate two infant car seats--plus an optional running board for mobile older children--make it an ideal option for city-living.

A wagon-style double single pushchair stroller, such as the Delta Children LX Stroller Side-by-Side is another alternative. This model is bare-bones and offers plenty of seating space and storage, plus robust wheels that can handle any terrain. It also has a canopy with 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. Some parents complain that the seats are too low and they don't recline completely to a flat position, making it difficult for smaller children to get comfortable or reach their snack trays.

Billingsley states that the best double stroller for toddlers is one that supports different options for customization, including the ability to remove a seat or a bassinet. Toddlers are often weak in endurance, and strollers with an integrated bassinet can give them a safe space for them to nap. She says a double stroller should include a harness system that is reliable and recline positions, as well as plenty of storage room for toys and snacks.

The ZOE Twin+ is popular among parents due to its light weight and versatility. It's gate-check-friendly for airlines and fits through most doors (without having to remove the front wheels) and expands into a quad or triple stroller with an added tandem seat.

Taylor states that the only disadvantage is that it has a a large footprint when folded, and is difficult for parents to stow.
