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

If you're taking your toddler on the streets or jogging with your twins, having the best double stroller will make it easier for everyone to move around. Finding a double stroller which is easy to fold and push is essential.

Our Lab experts recommend side by side models with equal reclining, plenty of storage and car seat adapters that can fit infants.

Seating

When looking for a double stroller, your seating options are crucial. You may want to consider a tandem stroller that allows one child to stand while the other one sits or a side by side model that allows your children to sit together.

The seating arrangement can affect your comfort while walking through busy streets and sidewalks. Consider looking for strollers that have reclined seats, footrests that recline and ample canopy options that provide shade for both of the passengers. Beware of hanging bags from handlebars because they can alter the stroller's center of gravity, causing it to tip over.

Double strollers of good quality will also come with convenient storage compartments to store your essentials. Check for compartments in the back of the seats or underneath the seats to keep toys, snacks and other essentials in one place. The organizer bags and consoles for parents attached to the handles are also useful for keeping essentials within reach during walks or outings.

For those with little ones close in age A stroller with a side-byside design could be the best choice. They're generally more stable than stacking types and provide better sightlines for both passengers. Some options also accept two car seats for infants which allows you to move your sleeping children from the car to the stroller without waking them.

Parents with older kids who don't mind sitting in separate places or who enjoy a degree of independence might appreciate the sit-and-stand option that allows an older child to sit on the front and ride along. This type of double stroller usually isn't newborn-compatible and might require more maintenance as the years pass by, but it's a great option for families with active children who require the flexibility of an individual stroller that converts to a double-kid version.

The best double strollers will be sturdy and maneuverable even in a rough terrain or tight spaces. They're also lightweight and fold up for compact storage in your garage or trunk, making them easy to transport and manage while traveling. Finally, they feature solid construction to ensure longevity and safety of your children. Additionally, they are compliant with the American Academy of Pediatricians' (AAP) guidelines for safety.

Canopy

A canopy shields both passengers from the sunlight and some models even have a the option of a visor to protect children's faces. The top scoring models for canopy options included the BOB Revolution Flex v3.0 Duallie, and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Dual. Both have giant shades. Both models provide plenty of coverage and protect children from head to toe while inline models often lack shade or offer a single canopy which only covers one seat. This can be a problem for siblings who need different levels protection.

Most of our top-rated canopys fit onto strollers with ease. However, make sure you check the dimensions of the model prior to making a buy, as some canopies may require extra space in the basket for full extension, and to ensure that the handles don't get hit when folded.

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 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 choice for families who have twins or young kids and require transportation simultaneously. This versatile stroller also offers an innovative sit-and-stand design for older kids who prefer to ride on their own.

Other accessories that can make your stroller more functional include parent consoles or bags for Pram Newborn organizing, which can help keep things in reach. These bags are particularly useful when you want to keep snacks and toys away from view. Some of these accessories are connected via a strap or snap that makes it simple 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 opt for a double stroller compatible with infant car seats and can grow into a toddler stroller complete with a bench seat or glider board. Both the Graco Travel System RoomFor2 and UPPAbaby's Vista v2 Duallie come with a bassinet that is compatible with car seats, a toddler's seat, and a RumbleSeat. Both strollers can be expanded to triple pram strollers by the addition of a running board. This is perfect for active families who have one child who likes to be active.

Wheels

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

Stroller wheels are available in a variety styles, sizes, and materials to meet a wide range of needs and conditions. Swivel wheels, for example can help to maneuver through tight spaces and tight corners. Fixed-wheels offer more stability and are ideal for smooth surfaces. If you plan to use your stroller on rough terrain or off-road air-filled tires are more suitable than standard rubber tires. These tires are similar to bicycle tires, and absorb shocks to provide a more comfortable ride.

Double strollers that are side-byside are larger than tandem models and may be more difficult to maneuver through narrow doors or in crowded aisles. However, they offer your children the same amount of space and let them stretch their legs. They're also generally more maneuverable and easy to steer than tandem strollers.

If you plan to use your stroller as an exercise bike or run, choose a double jogger that has special all-terrain tires or jogging wheels. These tires are bigger and thicker, and come with sealed ball bearings for an easier ride on rough 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 secured in their car seats.

Other strollers with jogging/all-terrain capabilities like the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X accept a second child in the front, but they are too heavy to qualify as umbrella doubles. In our tests, we found that the buckles on this stroller were the most difficult to secure. This can be a problem when you are trying to fit two children on the stroller at once. The stroller is costly, costing hundreds more than our main top-rated single-to-tandem option, but it does come with top-quality materials and a good selling value.

Stores

A quality double stroller should provide ample storage space for parents and children. A lack of storage can make it difficult for parents to go on around and carry all the equipment they require on a family day out. In our Lab tests we found that the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double did well in this metric it has a large and easy-to-access basket that can hold up to 30 lbs.

Strollers with pockets and compartments can aid families in organizing small items such as keys, wallets, and phones. Additionally, a parent console or organizer bag attached to the handlebars could provide a convenient space for dads and moms to keep their personal belongings during outings with the kids.

The UPPAbaby Vista has an enormous basket that can carry two car seats for infants. (Not both bassinets however.) It also features an adjustable telescoping bar as well as brakes that are easy to use. It also has one of the biggest maximum allowable seat weight ratings in our collection, and it folds easily into most door frames.

Our test participants also discovered that the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite wagon has a great adjustable bar that 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.

A major challenge for anyone using a stroller is the ability to fold it up and return it to shape after use, especially when you have a toddler and an infant in the stroller. That's why it's important to choose a stroller that has a smooth and easy fold. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand both come with a simple, single-handed mechanism that lets parents quickly and efficiently fold their stroller regardless of the configuration they're in.

While a double stroller may seem like a huge purchase, parents who intend to use the product for several years should keep in mind that they'll generally pay more for this type of stroller than single ones. It's also worth determining if the stroller travel is able to be divided into pieces to make it easier to transport and store this is a vital factor if you're in a tight space in your home or vehicle.
