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

A good double stroller will allow you to move around whether you're walking with your toddler or running with your twins. However, finding one that is easy to push and fold is a must.

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

Seating

When shopping for a double stroller, your seating options are crucial. Based on your kids' age and stage it is possible to consider a side-by-side option that allows both children to sit together or a tandem model that lets one child stand while the other one is seated.

The seating arrangement also affects your comfort when you walk through busy streets and sidewalks. Look for a stroller with reclining seats, reclined footrests and large canopy that provides shade for both passengers. Beware of hanging bags on the handlebars, as they can alter the stroller's center of gravity, causing it to tip over.

Double strollers that are of good quality will also come with convenient storage compartments for your necessities. Look for compartments under the seats or in the backs of the seats. These are great places to store snacks, toys, and other essentials. Parents consoles and bags attached to the handles are also helpful for keeping essentials within reach when you go for walks or outings.

A side-byside pram is the best option for parents who have children of similar ages. They're generally more stable than the stacking type, and they offer better sightlines for both passengers. Some options can accommodate two infant car seat, allowing you move your sleeping children from the car to the triple pram without disturbing them.

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 some freedom. They can also permit the larger child to go with the front. This type of double stroller is not newborn-compatible, and it may require more maintenance in the future. However, it can be a great choice for active families that need the versatility of a stroller that converts into an adult-only model.

The top double strollers will be robust and easy to maneuver, even in muddy terrain or narrow spaces. They are also light and foldable to make it easy to store them in your garage or trunk. This makes them easy to transport when traveling. They also have sturdy construction to ensure the longevity and safety of your children, and they comply with the American Academy of Pediatricians' (AAP) guidelines for safety.

Canopy

A canopy can shield both passengers from the sun, and some models also come with the option of a visor that can further protect kids' faces. Models with huge shades like the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double have earned us top marks for their canopy options. Both models provide adequate coverage and cover children from head to toe, while inline models often skimp on shade or only have a single canopy that only covers one seat. This can be problematic for siblings who need different levels protection.

Most of our top-rated canopys can be fitted onto strollers with ease. Be sure to verify the dimensions of the model before you purchase, as some canopy may 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 a double stroller that comes with a bassinet, car seat adapters or other accessories that give them more options down the road. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double, for example, comes with a toddler seat and an additional RumbleSeat. This makes it a great choice for families who have twins or small children and need to transport them at the same time. This stroller is a versatile model that offers a unique sit and stand arrangement for older children who prefer to travel on their own.

Parent consoles and organizer bags can help your stroller be more efficient. They keep your essentials to hand. They're particularly useful for strollers that aren't used frequently and when you'll need to store snacks and toys away from prying eyes. Some of these accessories can be secured using either a strap or snap making it easy to remove them once you're ready to put them on the stroller again.

If you're looking to make an investment that will last for a long time, look for a double stroller that is compatible with infant car seats. It can also grow into a toddler stroller with an adjustable bench or 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, and 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 active.

Wheels

The kind of wheels a stroller is equipped with can make a difference in how it is to push. In general, bigger wheels are easier for you to maneuver and can handle a wider range of terrain. The material the wheels are made of also determines 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 ones.

Stroller wheels are available in a variety styles, Strollers (advice here) sizes, and materials to meet the needs of a variety of people and conditions. For instance, swivel wheels make it easier to navigate narrow spaces and tight turns. Fixed wheels provide more stability and are better for smooth surfaces. If you plan to use your stroller on rough terrain or off-road air-filled tires are a better option than the standard rubber tires. These tires have a similar design to bicycle tires, and they absorb shocks, resulting in a more comfortable ride.

Double strollers that are side-by-side are larger than tandem strollers and can be more difficult to maneuver through narrow doors or in crowded aisles. They give your children the same amount of room to sit and stretch their legs. They are also generally more maneuverable than tandem strollers.

If you plan to use your stroller for biking or running consider a double jogger with special all-terrain or jogging tires. These tires are bigger, thicker, and feature sealed ball bearings for a smoother ride on uneven surfaces. Some models, such as the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller are compatible with a car seats which allows you to jog while your children are in their car seats.

Other strollers that are all-terrain and jogging like the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X allow an additional child in the front, Pram Set but are too bulky to qualify 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 when you have to squeeze two children in the stroller simultaneously. This stroller is pricey with a price that is hundreds higher than our main top-rated single-to-tandem pick, but it offers high-quality materials and good selling value.

Stores

A good double stroller should have ample storage space for parents and children. Insufficient storage space can make it difficult for parents to get around town or bring along all the gear needed for an outing with two kids. In our Lab tests we found that the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double did excellently in this metric, with a large and easy-to-access basket that can accommodate up to 30lbs.

Strollers that have pockets and compartments can assist families in organizing small items such as wallets, keys and phones. A parent console or organizer bag that can be attached to the handlebars of the stroller could be a handy way for parents to store their personal belongings during outings with their children.

In addition to a spacious basket The UPPAbaby Vista also has two infant car seats (though not both bassinets), and it has a telescoping handlebar and easy-to-use brakes. It also has one of the biggest capacity weight ratings for seats in our lineup and an easy fold that fits through most standard 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 folding UV screens for full sun protection, and its cup holders as well as snack tray can accommodate different bottles for children and snacks.

A big challenge for any stroller is how to fold it and return it to shape after use, particularly when you have an infant and a toddler in the back. It's essential to pick an item that folds easily and quickly. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand both come with a simple, single-handed mechanism that lets parents quickly and easily fold their strollers regardless of the configuration they're in.

Double strollers may seem like an investment that's expensive however, parents who intend to use it for many years will pay more than they would for single strollers. You should also check if the stroller is able to be disassembled for easier storage and transport. This is crucial in the event that you only have a small amount of space in your car or at home.
