How Easy Is It to Push and Fold a Double Stroller?

If you're taking your toddler for a walk or jogging with your twins, the best double stroller will make it easier for everyone to get around. It's important to find one that's easy to push and fold is essential.

Our Lab experts recommend side-by-side models that have equal reclining and plenty of storage space, including car seat adapters for infants.

Seating

Seating options are crucial when you are shopping for a double stroller. You may want to think about a tandem stroller that lets one child stand while the other sits, or a side by side option that lets your children sit together.

Seating arrangements can also affect your comfort when you're navigating the busy streets and sidewalks. Consider looking for strollers that have reclining seats, reclined footrests and large canopy that provides shade for both passengers. Also, don't hang bags on the handlebars as they could alter the stroller's center of gravity and cause tipping.

Double strollers of good quality will also have convenient storage compartments for your essentials. Make sure you have compartments in the seat backs or underneath the seats to keep toys, snacks and other essentials in one place. You can also use organizer bags as well as consoles for parents affixed to the handles of the car to keep essentials in your hand on walks or outings.

For those with little ones who are getting older A stroller with a side-byside design could be the best prams option. They are generally more stable than the stacking type and provide better views for both passengers. Some options can accommodate two infant car seats, allowing you to transfer your sleeping children from the car to the pram and travel system without waking them.

Sit-and stand models are a great option for parents with older children who don't mind their children sitting in separate places and want a little independence. They also allow the larger child to go in the front. This type of double stroller usually isn't pushchair newborn-compatible and might require more maintenance as years progress, but it's a great alternative for families who want the versatility of one stroller that can be converted into a two-kid model.

The best double strollers are durable and easy to maneuver even on rugged terrain or in tight spaces. They're also lightweight and fold down for compact storage in your garage or trunk, making them easy to transport and manage while traveling. Additionally, they have a sturdy construction to ensure the longevity and safety of your children. Furthermore, they comply with the American Academy of Pediatricians' (AAP) guidelines for safety.

Canopy

A canopy protects both the passengers from direct sun's rays and, in some models, a an apron that protects children's faces. Our top-scoring canopy options were the BOB Revolution Flex v3.0 Duallie, and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Dual. Both come with huge shades. They both offer plenty of coverage and cover kids from head to knee, however, inline models tend to be less generous with shade or provide only a single canopy that covers one seat, which is problematic for siblings who want different levels of protection.

A good canopy should be able to slide easily onto the stroller, and a lot of our top-rated models can do that. Be sure to verify the dimensions of the model before you purchase, as certain canopy may require additional space in the basket to allow for full extension, and to avoid hitting the handles when they're folded.

Some parents prefer a double stroller with a bassinet and car seat adapters as well as other accessories to provide them with more options later on. For example, the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double features an infant seat as well as an add-on RumbleSeat making it a perfect choice for families with twins or children who need to transport more than two kids at a time. This versatile stroller offers an unique sit-and-stand arrangement for older children who prefer to ride alone.

Other accessories that can help make your stroller more useful include parent consoles and bags that organize, which allow you to keep essentials within reach. They're particularly useful for strollers that aren't used frequently, when you might want to keep snacks and toys away from prying eyes. Some of these accessories can be secured using either a strap or snap making it easy to take them off when you're ready to put them on the stroller once more.

If you're thinking of investing in a long-term plan, look for a double stroller that is compatible with infant car seats. It can also grow into a toddler stroller with a bench seat or glider board. The Graco RoomFor2 pushchairs travel systems System and the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Duallie both have a car seat-compatible bassinet, toddler seat and RumbleSeat. Both can expand into a triple stroller through the addition of a running board, which is perfect for active families with one child who likes to be active.

Wheels

The type of wheels that are used on the stroller can make an enormous difference in how it is easy or difficult to push. In general, bigger wheels are easier for you to maneuver and can handle a wider range of terrain. The material of the wheels can also impact how they are easy or difficult to push. Rubber wheels are more durable than plastic ones and are able to withstand rougher surfaces.

Stroller wheels are available in a variety of designs, sizes and materials to suit a variety of environments and needs. Wheels that swivel, for instance can make it easier to navigate tight corners and spaces. Fixed wheels are more stable and suitable for smooth surfaces. If you plan to take your stroller off-road or on a rough terrain, consider getting air-filled tires instead of standard rubber tires. These tires are similar to bicycle tires, and they absorb shocks, which makes for an easier ride.

Side-by-side double strollers can be bigger than tandem strollers and are difficult to fit through narrow entrances or aisles of stores. However, they offer your children equal seating and allow them to stretch their legs. They're generally also more maneuverable and easy to steer than tandem strollers.

If you intend to use your stroller for a bike or run then you should choose a double jogger with all-terrain tires or jogging wheels. They are larger, more robust and come with sealed ball bearings for an easier ride on uneven surfaces. Certain models, such as the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller are compatible with car seats, which let you jog with your children safely strapped in their car seats.

Other all-terrain/jogging strollers, such as the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X allow a second child in the front, but are too bulky to qualify as umbrella doubles. Also, in our testing, the restraint buckles on this model were among the hardest to fasten, which can be a problem when trying to get two kids in the stroller at the same time. The stroller is costly with a price that is hundreds higher than our top single-to-tandem model, but it comes with top-quality materials and an excellent return value.

Stores

A good double stroller will have enough storage space for both parents and children. Lack of storage space could make it difficult for parents to run errands and bring all the gear they need for a family outing. In our Lab tests the UPPAbaby V2 double was a good score in this measure. It comes with a big and easy-to-access storage basket that can hold up 30 lbs.

Strollers that have pockets and compartments can help families organize small items such as keys, wallets and phones. A parent console or organizer bag that can be attached to the handlebars of the stroller can be a great way for parents to store their personal belongings during outings with the children.

The UPPAbaby vista comes with an enormous basket that can carry two car seats for infants. (Not both bassinets however.) It also features a telescoping bar and brakes that are easy to use. It also has one of the biggest capacity seat weight ratings in our lineup and a simple fold that fits into most door frames.

Our testers also found that the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite wagon has a great adjustable bar that is ideal for parents of different heights. The wagon also has two UV screens that fold up to provide full sun coverage, and its cup and snack tray holders can hold a variety of bottles and snacks for kids.

A major challenge for anyone using a stroller is the ability to fold it and return it to shape after use, especially if you're dealing with a toddler and an infant in the stroller. It's crucial to select one that folds quickly and smoothly. Both the UPPAbaby Vista v2 stroller and Evenflo Pivot Xpand have a single-handed, user-friendly mechanism that allows parents to fold their strollers quickly and efficiently, regardless of the configuration they're using.

While a double stroller may appear like a costly purchase, parents who plan to use the product for a number of years should keep in mind that they'll usually spend more on this kind of stroller than single strollers. It's also worth checking whether the stroller is able to be divided into pieces to make it easier to transport and store This is a crucial factor if you're in a tight space for your vehicle or living space.
