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

When you're taking your toddler for a walk or jogging with your twins, having the perfect double stroller makes it easier for everyone to get around. It's important to find one that's easy to push chairs and prams and fold is a must.

Our Lab experts recommend side-by-side models with equal recline and plenty of storage space, including car adapters for infants' seats.

Seating

When shopping for a double stroller, seating options are crucial. Depending on your kids' stages of development, you may want to consider a side-by-side option that lets both children sit together, or a tandem design that allows one child to stand while the other one is sitting.

Seating configurations can also impact your comfort when you are navigating busy sidewalks and streets. Look for strollers with reclining chairs with reclined footrests, large canopy covers to shade the two passengers. Beware of hanging bags on the handlebars because they can change the stroller's center of gravity and encourage tipping.

Double strollers that are of good quality will also come with convenient storage compartments for your necessities. Make sure you have compartments in the back of the seats or underneath the seats to keep toys, snacks and other items in a convenient place. Parent consoles and organizer bags that are attached to handles are also helpful to keep things within reach on walks or outings.

For parents with children close in age A stroller with a side-byside design could be the best choice. They are usually more stable and provide better visibility for both of the passengers than strollers that stack. Some models can also accommodate two car seats for infants, allowing you to move your sleepy children from the car to the stroller without disturbing them up.

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

The most effective double strollers are sturdy and maneuverable even in muddy terrain or narrow spaces. They're also light and fold down for compact storage in your trunk or garage making them easy to transport and manage when traveling. They are made to last and meet the safety guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP).

Canopy

A canopy protects both passengers from the sun and, in some models, a a visor that shields children's faces. Our top-scoring models for canopy options were the BOB Revolution Flex v3.0 Duallie, and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Dual. Both have giant shades. Both offer ample coverage and cover kids from head to knee however, inline models tend to cut corners on the shade or offer a single canopy that only covers one seat, which is problematic for siblings who want different levels of protection.

A good canopy should also be able to slide easily onto the stroller, and many of our top-rated models can do that. However, make sure you check the model's dimensions before you buy, as some canopies might 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 double strollers that come with a bassinet or car seat adapters to allow them to have more options in the future. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double, for example, comes with an infant seat as well as an added RumbleSeat. This makes it an ideal option for families with twins or young kids and require transportation simultaneously. This stroller can also be used in a unique sit-and-stand configuration for older kids who prefer to ride on their own.

Parent consoles and organizer bags can also make your stroller more useful. They keep your essentials to hand. These bags are particularly useful when you need to keep snacks and toys out of sight. Some of these accessories are connected by snaps or straps that makes it simple to remove them when ready for the stroller to be used again.

If you're looking for a double-stroller that can be converted into a toddler stroller, with a glider board or bench seat and a bench seat, this is the stroller you should choose. Both the Graco Travel System RoomFor2 and UPPAbaby's Vista Duallie include a bassinet which is compatible with car seats, a toddler seat, and a RumbleSeat. Both can be converted into a triple stroller with the addition of a running board, which is perfect for families with an active kid who prefers to stay active.

Wheels

The type of wheels on the stroller makes an enormous difference in how easy or difficult it is to push. In general, larger wheels are easier for you to maneuver and are able to handle a wider range of terrain. The material the wheels are made of also is a factor in how difficult or simple they are to push. Rubber wheels, for example are generally more durable and are able to withstand rougher surfaces than plastic wheels.

Stroller wheels come in different styles, sizes and materials to suit a variety of requirements and environments. 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 are planning to take your stroller off the road or on a rough terrain, consider getting air-filled tires instead of standard rubber tires. These tires are similar to bicycle tires that absorb shocks to provide an easier ride.

Side-by-side double strollers are much larger than tandem strollers, and they can be difficult to fit through narrow entrances or aisles in stores. They provide your children with the same amount of space to sit and stretch their legs. They're generally also easier to steer and maneuver than tandem strollers.

If you plan to use your cheap stroller to run or bike consider double joggers that have all-terrain or jogging tires. These tires are bigger, thicker, and feature sealed ball bearings that provide smoother rides on uneven surfaces. Certain models, like the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller are compatible with car seat pram seats, allowing you to jog while your children are strapped into their car seats.

Other strollers that are all-terrain and jogging, such as the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X accept two children in the front, but are too bulky to qualify as umbrella doubles. Also, in our testing the restraint buckles of this model were among the toughest to secure, which could be a problem when trying to get two kids into the stroller all at once. This stroller is priced higher than the top single to tandem model, but it comes with top-quality materials and a reasonable resale price.

Storage

A quality double stroller should have ample storage space for both parents and children. Lack of storage makes it difficult for parents to get around town or bring all the necessary equipment on a day out with two children. In our Lab tests the UPPAbaby v2 double scored well on this measure. It comes with a big, easy-to-access basket which can support up to 30 lbs.

Strollers with pockets and compartments that are multiple can assist families in organizing small items such as wallets, keys and phones. Additionally, a parent console or organizer bag that is attached to the handlebars may provide a convenient location for dads and moms to store their personal belongings when out with the kids.

The UPPAbaby vista comes with a large basket and can carry two infant car seats. (Not both bassinets, though.) It also features a telescoping bar and brakes that are simple to use. It also has the highest maximum weight rating in our collection, as well as a fold that fits most standard door frames.

On the other hand our test subjects discovered that the wagon-style Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite has a great adjustable handlebar, ideal for parents with different heights. The wagon has two UV screens that fold up for full sun protection, and its cup holders as well as snack tray can hold different bottles for children and snacks.

A major challenge for anyone using a stroller is the ability to fold it and then get it back into shape after use, especially when you have an infant and a toddler in the back. This is why it's crucial to choose a stroller with a smooth and user-friendly fold. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand both have an easy-to-use, single-handed system that lets parents quickly and efficiently fold their stroller, no matter which configuration they're in.

Although a double stroller might appear like a costly purchase, parents who plan to use the product for several years should keep in mind that they'll usually pay more for this kind of stroller than single strollers. It's also worth determining if the stroller can be broken down into parts for storage and transport, which is an important aspect to consider if you're limited in your space in your home or vehicle.
