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

The right double stroller will allow you to move around whether you're walking with your toddler or running with your twins. Finding a double stroller which can be folded and easy to push is crucial.

Our Lab experts recommend side-by-side models that have equal recline, plenty of storage and car seat adapters to fit infants.

Seating

When looking for a pram double stroller, seating options are key. Based on your children's age and stage, you may want to consider a side-by-side option that allows both children to sit together, or a tandem model that lets one child stand while the other one is sitting.

The seating arrangement can affect your comfort when you walk through busy streets and sidewalks. Look for strollers that have reclined seats, footrests that recline and large canopy that provides shade for both passengers. Avoid hanging bags from the handlebars because they can alter the stroller's center of gravity and cause it to tip.

A quality double stroller will include convenient storage for your essentials as well. Look for storage spaces under the seats or in the backs of the seats. These are excellent places to store your snacks, toys, and other essentials. Parent consoles and organizer bags connected to the handles are also useful to keep essentials in reach during walks or outings.

For parents with children who are getting older A stroller with a side-byside design could be the best choice. They're usually more stable than the stacking type and provide better visibility for both passengers. Some options accept two infant car seats, allowing you to move your sleeping children from the car to the pram newborn and not wake them.

Parents who have older kids who aren't afraid to sit separately or who enjoy a degree of independence might appreciate a model that lets a bigger kid to get on the front and ride along. This type of double stroller is not compatible with newborns and may require more maintenance in the future. However, it can be a great choice for active families that want the versatility of one stroller that can be converted into an adult-only model.

The best double strollers will be robust and easy to maneuver, even in muddy terrain or narrow spaces. They are also lightweight stroller and foldable for easy storage in your garage or trunk. This makes them easy to transport on trips. They also have robust construction to ensure the durability and safety of your children. Additionally, they are compliant with the American Academy of Pediatricians' (AAP) guidelines for safety.

Canopy

A canopy protects both passengers from the sun's rays. Some models even offer the option of a visor that can further protect children's faces. Models with huge shades like the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double received our highest scores for their canopy options. Both models provide ample coverage and cover children from head to toe, while inline options often lack shade or have a single canopy that only covers one seat. This could be a problem for siblings who need different levels of protection.

Most of our top-rated canopys can be fitted onto strollers easily. Check the dimensions of the canopy prior to buying, as some may require extra space to expand completely and not hit the handles.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that comes with a bassinet and car seat adapters, as well as other accessories that give them more options later on. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double, for instance, has a toddler seat and an add-on RumbleSeat. This makes it a great option for families with twins or young kids and require transportation at the same time. This stroller has an unique sit-and-stand configuration for older children who prefer to travel by themselves.

Other accessories that can make your stroller more functional include parent consoles or bags for organizing, which can help keep your essentials in reach. They are especially useful for strollers that don't get used often and when you'll need to keep snacks and toys away from prying eyes. Some of these accessories are attached with a snap or strap, making it easy to take them off when you're ready for the stroller to be used again.

If you're thinking of investing in a long-term plan, look for a double stroller compatible with infant car seats and can transform into a toddler stroller that has a bench seat or glider board. Both the Graco Travel System RoomFor2 and UPPAbaby's Vista Duallie feature a bassinet that is compatible with car seats, a toddler's seat and a RumbleSeat. Both can be converted into a triple stroller with the addition of a running pram board, which is perfect for active families with one child who is on the move.

Wheels

The type of wheels that a stroller comes with makes a difference in how it is to push. In general, bigger wheels are easier to maneuver and will be able to tackle an array of terrain. The material that the wheels are made of also plays a role in how easy or hard they are to push. Rubber wheels are more durable than plastic ones and are able to handle rougher surfaces.

Stroller wheels come in a variety of styles sizes, shapes, and materials to meet the needs of a variety of people and environments. For instance, swivel wheel can aid in maneuvering narrow spaces and make tight turns. Fixed wheels provide more stability and are better for smooth surfaces. If you are planning to take your stroller off the road or on a rough terrain, think about getting air-filled tires instead of standard rubber tires. These tires are similar to bicycle tires, which absorb shocks for a more comfortable ride.

Side-by-side double strollers are much wider than tandem models and are difficult to fit through narrow entrances or store aisles. They give your children the same amount of room to sit down and stretch their legs. They are also usually more maneuverable than tandem strollers.

If you are planning to use your stroller for a running or bike, choose a double jogger with all-terrain wheels or jogging tires. These are thicker, larger and have sealed ball bearings to provide an easier ride on uneven surfaces. Certain models, like the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller are compatible with car seats that allow you to run while your children are safely in their car seats.

Other all-terrain/jogging duos, such as the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X, accept the addition of a second seat but are generally too bulky to qualify as umbrella doubles. We found that the buckles on this stroller were the most difficult to fasten. This could be a problem when you need to squeeze two children into the stroller simultaneously. This stroller costs hundreds more than the top single to tandem model, but it comes with top-quality materials and a reasonable resale price.

Stores

A quality double stroller will have enough storage space to accommodate the children as well as the parents. Insufficient storage space can make it hard for a parent to complete errands or take along all the gear needed on a day out with two kids. In our Lab tests, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double scored well in this metric it has a large and easily accessible basket that can accommodate up to 30lbs.

Strollers that have pockets or compartments that are multiple can help families keep track of small items, such as phones, keys, and wallets. A parent console or organizer bag that can be attached to the handlebars of the stroller could be a handy way for parents to store their personal belongings when out with their children.

Along with a spacious basket, the UPPAbaby Vista carries two infant car seats (though not both bassinets), and it has an adjustable handlebar that telescopically extends and brakes that are simple to use. It also has the largest weight capacity in our line-up and an adjustable fold that will fit the majority of door frames.

Our test participants also discovered that the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite wagon has a great adjustable bar, which is ideal for parents with different heights. The wagon has two UV screens that fold up to ensure complete sun protection, and its cup holders and snack tray can accommodate different bottles for children and snacks.

The biggest challenge with any stroller is folding it and getting it back in shape after you've used it. This is especially the case when you have a baby or toddler with you. 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 lets parents fold their stroller quickly and efficiently, regardless of what configuration they're in.
