Safety

When you're doing around town, going to the zoo, or heading out trick-or-treating with your kids stroller must be secure. It's essential to have sturdy frames, comfortable harnesses and easy-to-grab handles for toddlers. It should also fit through doors, be easy to fold and maneuver, and be easy to maneuver. It should also be affordable.

Every double stroller we tested went through rigorous testing in our lab at the zoo, and on city streets. We also took them for family outings to suburban areas. Our lab tests assess the stroller's stability and maneuverability as well as ease of steering and handling, suspension comfort for the driver and the rider weight capacity as well as the height of the canopy on the seat and storage space.

We solicit feedback from parents on each model as well as the routine safety check carried out by our team. We then take into consideration all of the information provided when making our recommendations.

If you're looking for a secure, high-quality stroller, start with our top choices. These strollers are incredibly versatile and can be used for infant car seats. They're available in single or tandem stroller models, and are suitable for children aged from birth to elementary school.

The best double strollers are made to adapt to your growing family. They're stylish and sleek, support a variety of customizations and can be used by toddlers and infants in side-by-side or tandem (single-file) seating styles. They also come with a large storage basket, a telescoping handlebar, and one-handed folding mechanisms.

Consider a tandem stroller with benches in the back to accommodate a third child if you have twins, or a child of similar age. They're an excellent option for siblings who wish to get involved but aren't capable of sitting close to one another in a side-by-side stroller and end in fighting or arguing. You can also find convertible models, which allow you to remove the bench seat of your child when they are ready to go without the car seat.


Comfort

The most comfortable double strollers come with comfortable child seats with plenty of padding and support. They also have plenty of storage space, large footwells that can accommodate children's feet and legroom, and UPF 50+ canopy which offer great sun protection. The seats should recline at a slight angle to ensure that children are comfortable, and they should include calf bars that allow parents to adjust the height of each seat individually. Alli Cavasino is a certified child safety technician. She says that the handlebars should be comfortable and ergonomic to maneuver. The handlebars need to be close enough to the seat of your child that you can grasp them and hold them. If the handlebars on the stroller are not close enough, it will be difficult to maintain your balance and good form while pushing them.

The ride should be smooth, even on rough or rocky surfaces. Some of the models we test had shock absorbers to ensure that the ride is stable. Some models have front and back suspension that improves control and reduces the force needed to push them. The wheels should be constructed of high-quality rubber and have a durable tread that can handle many years of wear and tear.

We searched for the most flexible double strollers that could be used from birth until toddlerhood and beyond. Some of the double strollers that we found can be converted into tandem or side-by-side strollers. One of them, the Uppababy Vista V2, can even be converted to a single-file infant stroller. The model is three times as expensive as our primary tandem choice however its materials are more durable and it should last longer.

The most comfortable double strollers are light and movable enough for long walks, errands and trips to the park or zoo. Double strollers are generally bigger than single strollers, and can be difficult to fit into narrow aisles or doorways. Some of them cost more than single-seaters. This is reasonable since you get a lot more for your money. The models we recommend are safe for both adults and kids and will grow with your family.

Convenience

If you're planning to spend the money to buy a double stroller, you'll need one that's easy to push and put away. The stroller should be lightweight and easily fit in the trunk of your car or at home. It should be able to navigate rough terrain and make tight turns. The best double-strollers come with adjustable calf supports, as well as seats that recline. They also come with UPF sun protection. The canopy should be large enough to protect both kids If you're worried about getting sun in their eyes, look for one with a window that can be opened for peek-aboo.

The age and stage of your child will influence the type of stroller that's the best for you. For instance, parents with twins might opt for a convertible stroller that holds two infant car seats at once or families with an older child and a toddler might prefer a side-by-side double. It is also important to determine whether you want an infant stroller that can be pushed through narrow doorways or crowded aisles in grocery stores and can be used on planes.

In our Lab tests, we found that the top double strollers are reasonably easy to fold and carry. They typically have a one- or two-step process, and they're small enough to fit in the majority of compact cars. They're also designed to be sturdy when folded, making them much easier to put back together.

Some of the best double strollers come with useful features for parents, such as a one-parent cup holder and a large storage basket. Consider whether the stroller comes with a lock for the front seat to stop your child from escaping. Some strollers come with an adapter that fits car seats and can be converted into a single seat as your child grows.

The price tag on some of the top double strollers is high, but they generally have a higher build quality and resale value as compared to less expensive models. They're also easier to maneuver and can withstand the toughest terrain, like park trails or city sidewalks.

Style

Parents shopping for a double stroller want more than just a means to transport two kids. They want a lightweight stroller that is easy to maneuver and has enough space to grow with their children. Also, since they'll carry more weight than their peers and their strollers, they should be easy on shoulders and back.

The most effective double strollers are sleek and come with various customization options. They can also accommodate infant car seats to provide the smooth transition from baby to toddler. They're available in side by side or tandem (single-file seating) formats and can even be light enough for jogging or travel.

In addition to size, one of the primary considerations for parents shopping for a double stroller is whether it will fit through doorways or other tight spaces. Fortunately, most of the models we tested in our latest update can pass through doors that are standard for exteriors that measure 36 inches wide. Moreover, most can accommodate interior doors that measure 28 to 35 inches wide.

Other aspects we take into consideration when reviewing the best double strollers is the speed and ease with which they fold and unfold, how big the cargo basket is, how padded the seats are, and how adjustable the canopy are. We also take into consideration how comfortable the buckles and seat straps are for children seated in the stroller, as well as how easy it would be to adjust the height of the handlebars.

For example, our top option is the Uppababy Vista V2, is light and has plenty of onboard storage for both children. It has a cup for parents holder and recliners that can be adjusted individually. It also has a large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo window. The padded straps for the seat and buckles are among the most comfortable we have found in our tests, and we found the seat to be one of the easiest to secure for children of all different ages.

If you're not quite ready to buy a double stroller, Facebook Marketplace and second-hand-goods websites can offer used options in good condition at affordable cost. Make sure you do your homework and look for signs of damage before you buy.
