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

The right double stroller will allow you to move around regardless of whether you're walking your toddler or jogging together with your twins. Finding a double stroller that is easy to fold and push is essential.

Our Lab experts recommend side-by-side models that have equal reclining and plenty of storage, plus car adapters for infants' seats.

Seating

When you are looking for a double stroller, your seating options are important. Depending on your kids' ages and stages, you may want to look for a side-by-side option that lets both children sit together, or a tandem design that lets one child stand while the other is sitting.

Seating configurations can also impact your comfort when you're navigating busy sidewalks and streets. Find strollers that have reclining chairs with reclined footrests, large canopy covers to provide shade for two passengers. Beware of hanging bags on the handlebars as they could alter the stroller's centre of gravity, causing it to tip.

A high-quality double stroller will include convenient storage for your essentials and other essentials. Check for compartments in the seat backs or underneath the seats to keep toys, snacks and other items in a convenient place. The organizer bags and consoles for parents that are attached to handles are also useful to keep things within reach when you go for walks or outings.

For those with little ones who are getting older, a side-by-side stroller might be the best option. They're usually more stable than the stacking type, triple Stroller and they offer better visibility for both passengers. Some options can accommodate two infant car seats, which allows you to move your sleeping children from the car to the pram shops near me without waking them.

Parents with older children who aren't afraid to sit separately or who prefer a little degree of independence might appreciate a sit-and-stand model that allows an older child to sit on the front and enjoy a ride. This type of double stroller typically isn't newborn-compatible and might require more maintenance as years pass by, but it can be a great alternative for families who want the versatility of a single stroller that converts to a double-kid version.

The most effective double strollers are sturdy and maneuverable even in a rough terrain or tight spaces. They're also lightweight and fold down for compact storage in your garage or trunk making them easy to transport and manage when traveling. Finally, they feature sturdy construction to ensure the security and triple pram durability of your children, Triple Pram and they are compliant with the American Academy of Pediatricians' (AAP) guidelines for safety.

Canopy

A canopy helps protect both passengers from the sun, and some models come with the option of a visor that can further protect children's faces. The top scoring models for canopy options were the BOB Revolution Flex v3.0 Duallie, and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Dual. Both have huge shades. They both offer plenty of coverage and cover children from head to knee while inline models tend to cut corners on shade or have a single canopy that only covers one seat, which can be difficult for siblings who need different levels of protection.

A good canopy should also fit easily on the stroller, and a number of our top-rated models accomplish that. Be sure to verify the dimensions of the canopy prior to buying, as some models may require extra space to expand completely and avoid hitting the handles.

Some parents prefer double strollers that come with the option of a bassinet or car seat adapters to give them more options in the future. For instance, the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double features an infant seat as well as an additional RumbleSeat, making it a great option for families with twins or children who might require the transport of more than two kids at once. This stroller has an unique sit-and-stand arrangement for older children who prefer riding alone.

Other accessories that can make your stroller more functional include parent consoles and organizer bags, which help keep things in reach. These bags are particularly useful when you want to keep snacks and toys away from the view of. Some of these accessories are secured by snaps or straps which makes it easy to remove them when ready for the stroller to be used again.

If you're looking to make a long-term investment, look for a double stroller that's compatible with infant car seats. It can also be converted into a toddler stroller complete with the option of a bench seat or a glider board. Both the Graco Travel System RoomFor2 and UPPAbaby's Vista v2 Duallie feature a bassinet that is compatible with car seats, a toddler seat as well as a RumbleSeat. Both are able to be expanded into a triple stroller with the addition of a running board, which is ideal for active families with one kid who prefers to stay in motion.

Wheels

The type of wheels on the stroller can make a big difference in how easy or difficult it is to push. In general, larger wheels are easier for you to maneuver and will be able to tackle more terrain. The material that the wheels are made of also determines how hard or easy they are to push. Rubber wheels are more durable than plastic ones and are able to withstand rougher surfaces.

Stroller wheels come in different styles, sizes and materials to suit a variety of requirements and environments. Swivel wheels, for example can help to navigate tight corners and spaces. Fixed-wheels are more stable and suitable for smooth surfaces. If you are planning to use your stroller on uneven terrain or off-road air-filled tires are better than standard rubber tires. These tires are similar to bicycle tires, and absorb shocks for an easier ride.

Double strollers that are side-by-side are more spacious than tandem strollers and can be more difficult to maneuver through narrow doors or in crowded aisles. They offer your children the same amount of room to sit down and stretch their legs. They're also generally easier to steer and maneuver than tandem strollers.

If you are planning to use your stroller for a running or bike it as a double jogger, you need to choose one with all-terrain tires or jogging wheels. They are larger, more robust and have sealed ball bearings that provide a smoother ride over uneven surfaces. Some models, like the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller are compatible with a car seat, allowing you to jog while your children are safely secured in their car seats.

Other all-terrain/jogging doubles, like the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X can accommodate the addition of a second seat but are generally too heavy to be considered umbrella doubles. In our testing, we discovered that the buckles on this stroller were the most difficult to secure. This could be a problem if you need to squeeze two children into the stroller at the same time. The stroller is costly and costs a lot more than our top single-to-tandem option, but it does come with high-quality materials and good resale value.

Storage

A quality double stroller will provide enough storage space for the children as well as the parents. A lack of storage could make it difficult for parents to run for errands and to bring everything they need on a family day out. In our Lab tests, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double performed very well in this measurement, with a large and easily accessible basket that can accommodate up to 30lbs.

Strollers that have pockets or compartments that are multiple can aid families in keeping track of small items, like keys, phones, and wallets. A parent console or organizer bag that is attached to the handlebars could be a handy location for dads and moms to store their personal belongings while out with their kids.

The UPPAbaby vista has a large basket and can carry two car seats for infants. (Not both bassinets however.) It also features a telescoping bar and brakes that are simple to use. It also comes with one of the highest max allowable weight ratings for seats in our range, as well as a simple fold that fits through most standard door frames.

Our testers also found that the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite wagon has a great adjustable bar that is perfect 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 accommodate different bottles for children and snacks.

The biggest challenge for any stroller is the ability to fold it and return it to shape after usage, especially when you're carrying two children in the stroller. It's essential to pick an item that folds easily and quickly. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand both feature an easy-to-use, single-handed system that allows parents to swiftly and easily fold their strollers, no matter which configuration they're in.

Double strollers can be an investment that's expensive, but parents who plan to use it for a number of years will be paying more than single strollers. You should also check if the stroller can be disassembled to make it easier for storage and transport. This is important when you have a limited space in your vehicle or home.
