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

When you're taking your toddler out for a walk or jogging with your twins, the right double stroller makes it easier for everyone to move around. But finding one that's easy to fold and push is a must.

Our Lab experts recommend side-by-side models with equal recline and plenty of storage space, as well as car seat adapters for infants.

Seating

When looking for a double stroller, your seating options are important. Based on your children's age and stage You may want to consider a side-byside option that allows both children to sit together or a tandem model that lets one child stand while the other is seated.

The seating arrangement can affect your comfort while walking through busy streets and sidewalks. Find strollers that have reclined seats with reclined footrests, large canopy covers to provide shade for the two passengers. Beware of hanging bags on the handlebars because they could alter the stroller's center of gravity and cause tipping.

A good quality double stroller will include convenient storage for your essentials as well. Look for storage compartments on the back of the seats or underneath the seats to keep snacks, toys and other essentials in one place. Parent consoles and organizer bags attached to the handles are also useful to keep things within reach during walks or outings.

If you have children close in age, a side-by-side stroller might be the best option. They tend to be more stable and provide better visibility for both the stroller and the passenger than stacking strollers. Some options accept two infant car seat, allowing you take your sleepy children from the car to the pram and not wake them.

Parents with older kids who don't mind sitting in separate places or who prefer a little some independence may like the sit-and-stand option that allows the bigger child to sit on the front and ride along. This type of double stroller usually isn't compatible with newborns and may require more maintenance as years progress, but it's a great option for families with active children who require the flexibility of one stroller that can be converted into a two-kid model.

The most effective double strollers are strong and easy to maneuver even on rugged terrain or in tight spaces. They are also lightweight and foldable to be easily stored in your trunk or garage. This makes them easy to transport on trips. They're constructed to last and meet the safety guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP).

Canopy

A canopy helps protect both the passenger and the sun, and some models also come with a visor to further shield kids' faces. Our top-scoring canopy options included the BOB Revolution Flex v3.0 Duallie, and compact travel stroller the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Dual. Both come with huge shades. Both offer ample coverage and cover children from head to knee, whereas inline options tend to cut corners on shade or provide one canopy that only covers one seat, which can be difficult for siblings who need different levels of protection.

A good canopy should also be able to fit comfortably on the stroller, and many of our top-rated models accomplish that. Be sure to verify the dimensions of the model before you purchase, as certain canopy may require additional space in the basket to allow for full extension and to prevent hitting the handles when folded.

Some parents like double strollers that come with the option of a bassinet or car seat adapters to allow them to have more options in the future. For example the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double features an infant seat as well as an add-on RumbleSeat making it an ideal choice for families with twins or young children who may need to transport more than two children at a time. 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 or bags for organizing, which can help keep your essentials in reach. These bags are particularly useful when you want to store toys and snacks away from view. Some of these accessories can be secured using a strap or snap, which makes it easy to remove them when you're ready to take the stroller once more.

If you're looking to make investing in a long-term plan opt for a double stroller that is compatible with infant car seats and can transform 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 can expand to a triple stroller by the addition of a running board which is ideal for families with an active child who is active.

Wheels

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

Stroller wheels come in different styles, sizes, and materials to fit a variety of needs and environments. Wheels that swivel, for instance, can make it easier to maneuver around tight spaces and tight corners. Fixed wheels offer greater stability and are more suitable for smooth surfaces. If you intend to take your stroller off-road or on a rough terrain, you should consider purchasing air-filled tires instead of standard rubber tires. These tires are similar to bicycle tires, and absorb shocks for a more comfortable ride.

Side-by-side double strollers can be larger than tandem strollers and can be difficult to squeeze through narrow doors or store aisles. They give your children the same amount of room to sit down and stretch their legs. They are also usually more maneuverable than tandem strollers.

If you intend to use your stroller to run or bike then look for double joggers that have all-terrain or jogging tires. These are large, thicker and feature sealed ball bearings that provide an easier ride on uneven surfaces. Certain models, such as the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller are compatible with car seats which let you jog with your children safely strapped to their car seats.

Other strollers with jogging/all-terrain capabilities, such as the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X accept two children in the front, but are too heavy to be classified as umbrella doubles. And in our testing the restraint buckles of this model were among the hardest to fasten, which can be a problem when you're trying to fit two kids into the stroller all at once. This stroller is pricey with a price that is hundreds higher than our top single-to tandem model, but it comes with high-quality materials and good return value.

Storage

A good double stroller should offer plenty of storage space for both parents and children. Lack of storage makes it hard for a parent to get around town or bring all the necessary equipment for a trip with two kids. 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 that have pockets or compartments can aid families in keeping the track of small things, like phones, keys and wallets. A parent console or organizer bag that is attached to the handlebars of the stroller can be a handy method for parents to keep their personal belongings while outing with the children.

Along with a spacious basket The UPPAbaby Vista also has two infant car seats (though not both bassinets) and also has a telescoping handlebar and brakes that are simple to use. It also has one of the biggest capacity weight ratings for seats in our collection, and it folds easily through most standard door frames.

On the other hand our test subjects discovered that the wagon-style Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite has an excellent handlebar that can be adjusted, ideal for parents of various heights. The wagon comes with two folding UV screens to provide complete sun protection and its cup holders and snack tray can accommodate different bottles for children and snacks.

A big challenge for any stroller is the ability to fold it down and get it back into shape after use, particularly when you're carrying an infant and a toddler in tow. That's why it's important to select a stroller with a smooth and easy fold. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand both have an easy-to-use, single-handed mechanism that allows parents to swiftly and efficiently fold their stroller, no matter which configuration they are in.

Although a double stroller might appear like a costly purchase, parents who plan to use the product for several years should keep in mind that they'll generally pay more for this kind of stroller than single strollers. You should also check if the stroller can be disassembled to make it easier for storage and transportation. This is essential when you have a limited space in your vehicle or home.
