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

Whether you're taking your toddler out for an outing or running with your twins, the right double stroller makes it easier for everyone to get around. Finding a double stroller which can be folded and easy to push is crucial.

Our Lab experts recommend side by side models that feature equal reclining, plenty of storage space and car seat adapters to accommodate infants.

Seating

Seating options are crucial when choosing a double-stroller. Based on your children's ages and stages You may want to look for a side-by-side option that allows both children to sit together or a tandem model that allows one child to stand while the other is seated.

Seating arrangements can also impact your comfort when you're navigating busy streets and sidewalks. Find strollers that have reclined seats with footrests that recline, as well as large canopy covers to shade the two passengers. Beware of hanging bags on the handlebars because they can alter the stroller's center of gravity, causing it to tip.

Double strollers that are of good quality are also equipped with storage compartments for your essentials. Check for compartments in the back of the seats or underneath the seats to keep snacks, toys and other necessities handy. Parents consoles and bags attached to the handles are also helpful to keep essentials in reach on walks or outings.

For parents with children close in age, a stroller that is side-by-side could be the best choice. They are usually more stable and provide better visibility for both passengers than strollers that stack. Some options accept two infant car seat, allowing you take your sleepy children from the car to the pram and not wake them.

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

This makes them easy to carry on trips. They also have robust construction to ensure the longevity and safety of your children, and they are compliant with the American Academy of Pediatricians' (AAP) guidelines for safety.

Canopy

A canopy shields both passengers from the sun and some models even have a the option of a visor to protect 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 come with huge shades. Both models have plenty of coverage and protect children from head to toe while inline options often skimp on shade or only offer a single canopy which only covers one seat. This could be a problem for siblings that want different levels of protection.

A good canopy should also be able to fit comfortably on the stroller, and a lot of our top-rated models accomplish that. However, make sure you check the dimensions of the model before you purchase, as some canopy might require additional space in the basket for full extension and to avoid hitting the handles when folded.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that comes with a bassinet and car seat adapters as well as other add-ons to provide them with more options down the road. For example, the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double features an infant seat as well as an add-on RumbleSeat which makes it a perfect choice for families with twins or young children who might require the transport of more than two children at once. This stroller is a versatile model that offers an unique sit-and-stand arrangement for older children who prefer riding alone.

Other accessories that can make your stroller more practical include parent consoles and bags that organize, which allow you to keep things in reach. These bags are especially useful when you need to keep snacks and toys out of sight. Some of these accessories can be secured with straps or snaps that makes it simple to remove them when you're ready to put them on the stroller again.

If you're planning on investing in a long-term plan consider a double stroller that is compatible with infant car seats and can be converted into a toddler stroller with the option of a bench seat or a glider board. The Graco RoomFor2 Travel System and the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Duallie both have an auto seat-compatible bassinet as well as a toddler seat and RumbleSeat. Both strollers can be converted to triple strollers by the addition of a running board. This is ideal for families with one child who is always travel.

In general, bigger wheels are easier for you to maneuver and will be able to tackle more terrain. The material used to make the wheels can also impact how they are easy or difficult to push. Rubber wheels are more durable than plastic wheels and are able to handle rougher surfaces.

Stroller wheels come in a variety styles, sizes and materials that can meet various needs and environments. For instance, swivel wheels can make it easier to navigate narrow spaces and make tight turns. Fixed wheels provide more stability and are better for smooth surfaces. If you intend to use your stroller on uneven terrain or off-road, air-filled tires are a better option than standard rubber tires. These tires are similar to bicycle tires, and absorb shocks for better comfort on the road.

Double strollers that are side-by-side are wider 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 space to sit 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 for an exercise bike or run, choose a double jogger that has special all-terrain tires or jogging wheels. These are thicker, larger and come with 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 seats, which allow you to jog with your children securely strapped in their car seats.

Other all-terrain/jogging strollers, such as the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X can accommodate a second child in front but are too heavy to be classified as umbrella doubles. In our testing, we found that the buckles on this stroller were the most difficult to secure. This can be a problem if you are trying to fit two children on the stroller simultaneously. The stroller is more expensive than the top single-to tandem pick, but offers high-quality materials as well as a good resale price.

Storage

A good double stroller will have enough storage space to accommodate both parents and children. Lack of storage space can make it difficult for parents to go on for errands and to bring everything they need for a family outing. In our Lab tests, the UPPAbaby V2 double was a good score on this measure. It comes with a big, easy-to-access basket which can accommodate up to 30 pounds.

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

In addition to a spacious basket The UPPAbaby Vista also has two infant car seats (though not both bassinets) It also comes with a telescoping handlebar and brakes that are simple to use. It also has one of the biggest capacity seat weight ratings in our lineup and a simple fold that fits through most standard door frames.

The wagon comes with two folding UV screens to provide complete sun protection and its cup holders as well as snack tray can accommodate different bottles for children and snacks.

The most difficult thing about any stroller is folding it and getting it back to its original shape after you've used it. This is especially the case for those who have a toddler or infant with you. That's why it's important to choose a stroller that has a smooth and user-friendly fold. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand both come with a simple, single-handed mechanism that allows parents to swiftly and efficiently fold their strollers, no matter which configuration they are in.

Double strollers may seem like an expensive investment but parents who plan to use it for several years will pay more than single strollers. It's also worth looking into whether the stroller is able to be broken down into parts to make it easier to transport and store this is a vital factor if you're in a tight space for your vehicle or living space.
