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

A good double stroller will help you move around, whether you're walking with your toddler or jogging together 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 have equal recline and ample storage space, as well as car seat adapters for infants.

Seating

Seating options are important when you are shopping for a double stroller. You might want to think about a tandem stroller that allows one child to stand while the other sits or a side by tandem option that allows your children to sit together.

The seating arrangement can affect your comfort when you are navigating busy streets and sidewalks. Look for strollers that have reclining seats, reclined footrests and large canopy that provides shade for both passengers. Avoid hanging bags from the handlebars because they can alter the stroller's centre of gravity, causing it to tip.

A quality double stroller will have useful storage for your necessities, too. Look for compartments under the seats or in the backs of the seats. These are excellent places to store snacks, toys, and other essentials. The organizer bags and consoles for parents attached to the handles are also useful for keeping essentials within reach during walks or outings.

A side-by-side stroller is the best option for parents who have children of similar ages. They're generally more stable than stacking types and provide better sightlines for both passengers. Some options can accommodate two infant car seats, which allows you to take your sleepy children from the car to the pram without disturbing them.

Parents who have older kids who don't mind sitting separately or who prefer a little some independence may like a model that lets an older child to climb onto the front and ride along. This type of double stroller typically isn't compatible with newborns and may require more maintenance as the years go by, however it can be a great option for active families that need the versatility of a single stroller that converts into a two-kid model.

The best double strollers will be robust and easy to maneuver even in a rough terrain or tight spaces. They're also lightweight and fold for compact stowing in your trunk or garage which makes them easy to transport and manage when traveling. They're constructed to last and comply with the safety standards of the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP).

Canopy

A canopy shields both passengers from the sun's rays and some models even have a an apron that protects children's faces. Our top-scoring models for canopy options included the BOB Revolution Flex v3.0 Duallie, and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Dual. Both have giant shades. They both offer plenty of coverage and cover kids from head to knee, whereas inline options tend to be less generous with shade or provide a single canopy that only covers one seat, which is difficult for siblings who need different levels of protection.

A good canopy should fit easily on the stroller, and many of our top-rated models accomplish that. Be sure to verify the dimensions of the model prior to making a purchase, as some canopy may require extra space in the basket for full extension, and to ensure that the handles don't get hit when they're folded.

Some parents prefer a double stroller with a bassinet, car seat adapters or other accessories that give them more options down the road. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double, for instance, comes with an infant seat and an added RumbleSeat. This makes it a great choice for families who have twins or young children and require transportation simultaneously. This versatile stroller also offers an innovative sit-and-stand design for older children who prefer to ride on their own.

The organizer bags and consoles for parents can also help your stroller be more efficient. They keep the essentials to hand. These bags are particularly useful when you want to store toys and snacks out of sight. Some of these accessories can be secured with either a strap or snap, which makes it easy to remove them when you're ready to take the stroller again.

If you're looking to make an investment that will last for a long time opt for a double stroller that's compatible with infant car seats. It can also transform into a toddler stroller with an adjustable bench or glider board. Both the Graco Travel System RoomFor2 and UPPAbaby's Vista Duallie come with 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 families that have an active child who is on the move.

Wheels

The type of wheels that a stroller has makes an impact on how easy it is to push. Generally speaking, larger wheels are easier to maneuver and can handle more terrain. The material the wheels are made of is a factor in how hard or easy they are to push. Rubber wheels, for example are usually more durable and can withstand rougher surfaces than plastic ones.

Stroller wheels come in a variety of styles sizes, dimensions and materials that can meet various needs and environments. For instance, swivel wheels can help navigate narrow spaces and tight turns. Fixed-wheels are more stable and ideal for smooth surfaces. If you are planning to take your stroller off the road or over rough terrain, consider getting air-filled tires instead of standard rubber tires. These tires are similar in design to bicycle tires, and they absorb shocks, resulting in a more comfortable ride.

Double strollers that are side-byside are larger than tandem strollers and can be more difficult to maneuver through narrow doors or congested aisles. But they give your children equal seating and allow them to stretch their legs. They're usually also easier to steer and maneuver than tandem strollers.

If you intend to use your stroller for a running or bike then you should choose a double jogger with all-terrain wheels or jogging tires. These tires are bigger and more robust, and also have sealed ball bearings for a smoother ride on uneven surfaces. Some models, like the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller are compatible with a car seats, allowing you to jog while your children are safely in their car seats.

Other all-terrain/jogging strollers, such as the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X allow an additional child in the front, but they are too heavy to qualify as umbrella doubles. In our tests the restraint buckles of this model were among the hardest to secure, which could be a problem when you're trying to get two children into the stroller all at once. The stroller is costly with a price that is hundreds higher than our top single-to-tandem option, but it does come with top-quality materials and an excellent selling value.

Storage

A quality double stroller will have enough storage space for the children and the parents. Lack of storage makes it hard for a parent to get around town or bring all the necessary equipment on an outing with two children. In our Lab tests, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double performed very well in this measurement it has a large and easily accessible basket that can hold up to 30lbs.

Strollers that have multiple compartments or pockets can help families keep track of small items, such as phones, keys, and wallets. A parent console or organizer bag that can be attached to the handlebars of the stroller can be a convenient option for parents to store their personal belongings when out with the children.

In addition to a spacious basket, the UPPAbaby Vista carries two infant car seats (though not both bassinets), and it has a telescoping handlebar as well as easy-to-use brakes. It also has one of the biggest max allowable seat weight ratings in our range, as well as a simple fold that fits into most door frames.

Our testers also found that the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite wagon features a remarkably adjustable bar that is ideal for parents of different heights. The wagon has two UV screens that fold up to provide complete sun protection and its cup holders as well as snack tray can hold various bottles for kids and snacks.

A major challenge for anyone using a stroller is how to fold it up and get it back into shape after use, particularly if you're dealing with two children in the back. It's the reason it's essential to choose a model that has a smooth and easy fold. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand both have an easy-to-use, single-handed mechanism that lets parents quickly and easily fold their strollers regardless of the configuration they're in.

Double strollers can be an expensive investment but parents who plan to use it for a number of years will be paying more than they would for single strollers. It is also important to determine if the stroller is able to be disassembled to make it easier for storage and transportation. This is essential when you have a limited space in your home or vehicle.
