How to Choose the Best Double Stroller If you're in the market for a double stroller there are a variety of options. To help you pick the best one for your family, we spoke with child development expert and mom Katie Billingsley. You should choose a stroller that is simple to fold and push to carry. You should consider a stroller that can hold two infant car seats or a toddler with a riderboard. 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 while walking. These wheels and brakes will assist you in navigating trails or sidewalks without your children falling or rolling off. The best double strollers have ample storage space to store items for your kids, including snacks and toys. The best double stroller for your family starts by understanding how old and far apart in terms of age your children are. Many double strollers only accommodate one child seat, but those are available in different configurations, so you can pick the seat that best suits your kids and your lifestyle. The classic doubles are ideal for children of similar ages who are keen to interact. Some double-decker designs allow you to place one seat over the other, or attach a riderboard for older siblings. Newborns can be tucked into a bassinet, which is attached to the frame or as an individual attachment that allows you to have an unobstructed view of your baby. If you are expecting twins or already have twins then a twin stroller will be the best option. For more adventurous families opt for a double stroller that can take on off-road terrains or even hike. Many of these strollers were developed with active parents and their children in mind. They have features that allow you to take them on any adventure, no regardless of how challenging or difficult the climbs might be. The top double strollers come with intelligent features that make it easier to navigate in difficult terrain and bad weather. For twin pushchairs jogging stroller comes with a wrist loop for your child, so you're sure that they're safe when you run downhill or at faster speeds. It also has a full-coverage canopy that is ventilated to keep your children cool in the summer heat. This model is a light and compact double stroller from Joovy. It weighs less than 23 lbs., making it ideal for air travel and storage in overhead compartments or trunks. Plus, it has an enormous storage basket as well as a parking brake that is linked in one step that is easy to use. Seating In contrast to the massive strollers of the past the modern double strollers are sleek and support an array of configurations that can be adapted to families. Some double strollers can be used as side-by-side models while others, such as the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Dual Stroller, can be used as a base for car seats, toddlers ' seats, and bassinets. They are available in a variety of widths and weights that can accommodate children from newborns up to kindergarten. A quality double stroller should be easy to fold and move, as well as allowing you to adjust the height of your handlebar to ensure that you feel comfortable on all of your outings. A good handlebar should be easy to grip, and it should invite you to walk with proper posture (ask parents for advice on this). It should have a range of storage options that can accommodate all the necessities your children need. If your twins are near in age, you might discover that a tandem stroller is best for your family. These strollers have seats that are side-by-side which means you can interact with them each other and keep an eye on each of them at the same time. They can also recline independently which means that one child can nap and the other is ready to go. The downside to a twin stroller is that it's wider than a single-occupant model, which can make it difficult to navigate sidewalks, shop aisles and narrow doors. For certain families, however, the benefits are worth the extra effort and size. If you're looking for a compact double-stroller, then the UPPAbaby V2 Double is an excellent alternative. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double is a great option for city dwellers due 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. It's a basic model however it has plenty of space for storage and seating. It also comes with heavy-duty wheels to handle any terrain. It also comes with an umbrella with 50+ SPF and adjustable handlebars. However, some parents feel that the seats are a little 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. Simple to use A double stroller can be a significant investment and one that you hope to use for years. If you are in the market for a double stroller, be sure that it is easy to use and clean. The top double strollers have been developed to be easy-to-use and come with numerous features that are convenient. All strollers we tested fold easily and compactly with just one hand. They're also light, making them ideal for traveling. Many of them fit in the majority of trunks and can be gate-checked on airplanes. In addition, the majority of our testers found that their strollers folded down to smaller dimensions than their single-seat counterparts, and some even came with an adjustable carry strap for easy carrying. The Valco Snap Duo trend is a double stroller with lots of options that can grow with your family. This side-by-side stroller can be used with infant car seats as well as other accessories. It can be used from birth up to preschool age. Each seat comes with a 5-point harness and an enormous canopy that offers ample protection from the sun. The Joovy Twin Roo is another option that's highly praised. It is light compact and weighs only 22 lbs when folded. The front seat reclines to almost an entire flat position, and the back seat comes with an adjustable recline for each child. There's a large storage basket and an easy, one-step connected parking brake that makes this stroller user-friendly and easy to maneuver. The only drawbacks of the Joovy Twin Roo are minor and specific to that model. Kerry says that the packaging is smart and enjoyable, however, it comes in five boxes which can be a little cumbersome to carry around. She also found the Genuis magnetic clasp to be a bit clunky and took her some time before she could get it to work. In the end, though, she was very happy with the stroller and would highly recommend it. Stores Strollers come in all sizes and shapes, from tandems with side-by-side doubles to tandem (single-file seating) styles, and a lot allow you to personalize your setup with a bassinet or car seat attachment. Some have even added rider boards for older children. They're not all created equal. Some are light and easy to use while others are bulky, heavy and difficult to fold. If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller, check out the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite. It was the lightest stroller we tested in our tests, weighing less than 23 pounds. It's also easy to fold and comes with all the features parents need to enjoy a day out with two kids. The Vista v2 double from UPPAbaby is another model our testers loved. They were particularly impressed by its sleek design and user-friendly. 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 make it a triple or quad stroller. It has a huge storage basket that can be upgraded to include a parent organizer, all-terrain wheels, and side storage bags. Billingsley says the ideal double stroller for a two-year-old is one that offers various options for customization, such as the ability to remove a seat or a bassinet. Toddlers are often weak in endurance, and strollers that have an integrated bassinet can provide a safe place for them to rest. She says that a double stroller should also have a good recline position and harness system as well as plenty of storage space for snacks and toys. The ZOE Twin+ is a popular choice among parents due to its light weight and flexibility. It's easy to check at airport gates it can be accessed through all doors (without removing the front wheels) and can be expanded into a quad or triple stroller with an add-on tandem seat. Its nearly flat, independently reclined seats, extra-long sun canopy and adjustable footrests are additional highlights, while its spacious underseat storage area and the inclusion of parent and child cup holders complete the impressive feature set. One drawback according to Taylor the manufacturer, is that it doesn't have the smallest profile when folded and can be difficult to carry.
