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

When you're taking your toddler on a walk or jogging with your twins, having the best double stroller will make it easier for everyone to move around. However, finding one that is easy to fold and push chairs and prams is a must.

Our Lab experts recommend side by side models with equal recline, ample storage and car seat adapters to accommodate infants.

Seating

When you are looking for a double stroller, your seating options are crucial. You might want to think about a tandem stroller that lets one child stand while the other one sits, or a side by tandem option that allows your children to sit together.

The seating arrangement also affects your comfort while walking through busy streets and sidewalks. Find strollers with reclined chairs, footrests that recline and large canopies to provide shade for the two passengers. Beware of hanging bags on the handlebars, as they can alter the stroller's center of gravity and cause it to tip over.

A quality double stroller will have convenient storage for your essentials as well. Look for storage compartments on the seat backs or underneath the seats to keep snacks, toys and other items in a convenient place. You can also use organizer bags and 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 nearing their age A stroller with a side-byside design could be the best option. They tend to be more stable and offer better visibility for both of the passengers than stacking strollers. Some models can also accommodate two infant car seats, allowing you to move your sleeping kids from the car to the stroller without waking them up.

Sit-and stand models are a great option for parents with older children who don't mind their kids sitting on their own and prefer a little independence. They can also permit a larger child to ride in the front. This type of double stroller is not pushchair newborn-compatible, and it may require more maintenance over the course of time. However, it can be an excellent option for active families who want the versatility of one stroller that transforms into an adult-only model.

The best double strollers will be robust and easy to maneuver, even in rough terrain or tight spaces. They are also lightweight stroller, foldable and compact to make it easy to store them in your garage or trunk. This makes them easy to transport on trips. Finally, they feature robust construction to ensure the durability and safety of your children, and they meet the American Academy of Pediatricians' (AAP) guidelines for safety.

Canopy

A canopy protects both the passengers from the sun's rays and some models even have a an apron that protects 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 offer plenty of coverage and protect children from head to toe, while inline options often skimp on shade or only have a single canopy that only covers one seat. This can be a problem for siblings that want different levels protection.

The majority of our top-rated canopys fit onto strollers with ease. But be sure to check the dimensions of the model prior to making a buy, as some canopies may require additional space in the basket to allow for full extension and to ensure that the handles don't get hit when they're folded.

Some parents prefer a double stroller with a bassinet and car seat adapters as well as other accessories to give them more options later on. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double, for instance, comes with an infant seat as well as an additional RumbleSeat. This makes it a perfect choice for families who have twins or small children and require transportation at the same time. This versatile stroller also offers an unique sit-and-stand option for older children who prefer to ride on their own.

Other accessories that can make your stroller more practical include parent consoles and bags that organize, which allow you to keep your essentials in reach. They're particularly useful for strollers that aren't used frequently or when you want to keep snacks and toys away from prying eyes. Some of these accessories can be secured with either a strap or snap that makes it simple to remove them once you're ready to take the stroller again.

If you're planning on a long-term investment consider a double stroller that is compatible with infant car seats and will transform into a toddler stroller that has a bench seat or glider board. The Graco RoomFor2 Travel System and the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Duallie both have a bassinet that is compatible with car seats, toddler seat and RumbleSeat. Both can expand into a triple stroller with the addition of a running board which is ideal for active families with one kid who prefers to stay active.

Wheels

The type of wheels that are used on a stroller can make an enormous difference in how it is easy or difficult to push. Generally, larger wheels are easier to maneuver and can take on more terrain. The material of the wheels can also impact how they are to push. Rubber wheels, for instance are usually more durable and can withstand rougher surfaces than plastic ones.

Stroller wheels are available in a variety of styles, sizes and materials to fit a variety of requirements and environments. Swivel wheels, for instance, can make it easier to maneuver around tight corners and spaces. Fixed wheels provide more stability and are better for smooth surfaces. If you are planning to use your stroller on rough terrain or off-road air-filled tires are better than the standard rubber tires. These tires are similar to bicycle tires and absorb shocks, which makes for an easier ride.

Double strollers that are side by side are wider than tandem strollers and can be more difficult to navigate through narrow doors or congested aisles. But they give your children equal seating space and let them stretch their legs. They are also usually easier to maneuver than tandem strollers.

If you intend to use your stroller for running or biking, look for double joggers with all-terrain or jogging tires. They are larger, more robust and have sealed ball bearings for a smoother ride over uneven surfaces. Some models, like the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller are compatible with car seat, allowing you to jog while your children are in their car seats.

Other all-terrain/jogging doubles, like the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X, accept the addition of a second seat but are generally too heavy to be considered umbrella doubles. In our tests the restraint buckles of this model were among the most difficult to fasten, which can be a challenge when trying to get two children into the stroller all at once. This stroller is pricey and costs a lot more than our main top-rated single-to-tandem pick, but it offers top prams-quality materials and a good selling value.

Storage

A good double stroller will provide enough storage space for the children as well as the parents. Lack of storage space can make it difficult for parents to run around and carry all the equipment they require to enjoy a day out with the family. In our Lab tests the UPPAbaby v2 double scored well in this measurement. It has a large accessible, easy-to-access basket that can support up to 30 lbs.

Strollers that have multiple compartments and pockets can help families organize small items like wallets, keys, and phones. Additionally, a parent console or organizer bag that is attached to the handlebars could be a handy location for dads and moms to store their own personal belongings while out with their children.

The UPPAbaby vista comes with a large basket and is able to carry two car seats for infants. (Not both bassinets, however.) It also has the ability to telescopically adjust its bar and has brakes that are easy to use. It also comes with one of the highest max allowable seat weight ratings in our lineup and an easy fold that fits through the majority of door frames.

Our test participants also discovered that the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite wagon comes with a fantastic adjustable bar, which is ideal for parents with different heights. The wagon also comes with two folding UV screens that provide complete sun coverage and its cup and snack tray holders can accommodate a lot of kid snacks and bottles.

A major challenge for anyone using a stroller is how to fold it up and get it back into shape after use, particularly when you're carrying two children in tow. This is why it's crucial to select a stroller that has a smooth and user-friendly fold. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand both have an easy-to-use, single-handed system that allows parents to swiftly and efficiently fold their strollers regardless of the configuration they're in.

While a double stroller may appear like a costly purchase, parents who intend to utilize the product for several years should keep in mind that they'll usually pay more for this type of stroller than single strollers. You should also check if the stroller is able to be disassembled for easier storage and transport. This is crucial in the event that you only have a small amount of space in your car or at home.
