Buying a Small Double Stroller A double stroller is an important purchase, and it's one you'll use for a long time. That's why you need to pick wisely. Our test participants were looking for strollers that had great mobility and smooth rides across all terrains. They also checked if the strollers were easy to fold and move. Size There are many styles of double strollers, including side-by-side, tandem (single-file) and wagons. The type of stroller has changed from the classic 1980s models that older millennials may be familiar with. These days, they're sleek and offer a variety of features that make travelling with kids more enjoyable for all. For parents of toddlers or infants, a double stroller with car seat is a great option to transport them from one point to B. Some of the most sophisticated strollers feature frames that can accommodate two infant car seats or convertible toddler seats. This lets them be utilized by children from birth until they reach the age of kindergarten. These are usually more expensive than a double stroller frame however they include a car seat system, as well as an enormous undercarriage basket. Parents with fewer children might want a simple, less-expensive single-to-double stroller. These frames tend to be lighter and some moms use their stroller after their children have outgrown it. Another excellent feature of some of the tiniest double strollers we've tested is the compact fold. They can be tucked away in places that larger strollers aren't able to and are generally easier to maneuver when folded. In addition, all of the compact double strollers we've tested have a large sunshade, though coverage varies from nothing to a cocoon cover. If you're looking for a bargain then you may want to check out secondhand strollers on auction sites like Facebook Marketplace. Just make sure you check the stroller for signs of wear before purchasing it. Weight Parents should think about their budget and whether the stroller will be a good fit for the family's lifestyle before purchasing a double stroller. For example, a lightweight stroller might not have enough storage space for bulky bags or extra gear. It might also not have a large canopy or other features that make the stroller more convenient to take on long journeys. The most comfortable double strollers are easy to maneuver and sturdy so that children can remain comfortable and not get out of their seats. In our tests for comfort we give higher marks to strollers that have adjustable seatbacks and leg rests with padding. The top double strollers have reclined seats that allow kids to take a break during long rides. Strollers that can be used to serve a variety of functions are more popular than ever, because of their innovative designs and clever features. Some of the most popular strollers can be used with multiple car seats and provide an array of seating options for babies through preschool. Some are so light they can be used for jogging or traveling. One of the most important things to take into consideration when selecting a compact double stroller is whether it can fit through doorways and other tight spaces. Older models of tandem strollers as well as side-by-side strollers are usually too large to pass through many doors. The best small double strollers are usually narrower than traditional models and can be pushed right into the majority of doors easily. You should also consider whether you require a stroller that has additional features like an holder for your cup and a snack tray. These are great for longer trips, but they add to the total weight and cost of a double stroller. Folding A compact double stroller can fold compactly to fit into small spaces. It is also easy to keep in storage. Its lightweight design makes it easy to carry and move. Consider the frequency and location you will use a double stroller. The answer to these questions will help you identify the essential features. For instance, if you are planning to run in the stroller, then you will want to choose one with a a smooth suspension that will glide across rough and paved terrain. Also, take into consideration the temperament and age of your children. If they are close in age, then a side-byside stroller could be the best. If they are in different stages of development then a tandem style may be better suited to your requirements. A double stroller is costly, but it's an investment that will pay off in the long term. Investing in a quality model that is suited to your family's needs will make travelling with children easier, and it will also provide years of convenience for you and your children. If you have limited storage space, consider a compact double stroller that can fit both toddler car seats and infant car seats. Evenflo Pivot Xplore Wagon can accommodate twins and is a great option for families with two children. double pram and pushchair has dual canopies, an attachable storage bin and a tray for the child with cup holders. This budget-friendly stroller comes with an easy and quick fold, and it can be pushed by one hand. It is worth pointing out, however, that most double modular strollers require you to take off the second seat prior to folding them. Maneuverability The best double strollers designed for small spaces are easy to maneuver and they have wheels that glide smoothly over any surface. These strollers also come with comfortable, reclining seats and ample storage space for your kids' toys. Many of these strollers are also compatible with toddler and infant seats, as well as car seat carriers. These features make these strollers a great choice for families that want one stroller that is multi-purpose. Alli Cavasino is a certified child safety technician and travel gear expert who offers advice to parents on strollers and other equipment. She suggests selecting a light, easy-to-push model. She advises that strollers that are heavy can cause frame fatigue and injuries. “If your stroller is heavy and difficult to push, consider including a ride-along board, or reduce the number of kids in the seat.” Some double strollers that we tested are able to accommodate multiple infant car seats. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, for example, can hold two infant car seats or toddler seats at once and converts into a three-seater configuration with the help of the RumbleSeat. It also features a chic design with an inline design, foam-filled tires that won't go flat and a telescoping handlebar that can be adjusted. The seat buckles are among the most simple to unfasten and fasten, and its generous UPF 50+ sunshades come with windows that peek out. Other models come with multiple seating configurations. They can be used for twins or triplets, as well as an older child and an infant, or a toddler riding a scooter (sold separately). They also have easy-to-use brakes and a compact fold that fits in the majority of trunks. Some are even light enough to transport up and down steps. And most require little assembly, though the Joovy Caboose requires a few tools and took the longest time to construct in our tests. Safety The best double strollers come with multiple safety features, including adjustable handlebars that give you a comfortable grip and a broad base that won't tip over when the kids get up from their seats. The canopies are big enough to cover both kids in rainstorms. They're also easy to use, according to Alli Cavasino who is a certified child passenger safety technician. “Look for a oneor two-step fold that is easily carried and has a clear, obvious place to put the straps,” she advises. The tiniest strollers are able to fit through doors with ease. This is a great benefit if you live in an apartment that is small or have a small car. The smallest models weigh less than standard double strollers. This makes them easier to transport from one place to the next. Parents who have kids who are close to their age can consider a side-by-side stroller like our top pick for the Joovy Kooper X2, which includes two child seats that can be adjusted for the width and recline independently. In our testing, we found the seats to be extremely comfortable and the recline to be simple and easy with just a single lever on each seat. It also has a large storage basket, a built-in parking brake that is one step (to reduce fatigue in the hands while stopping) and a few of our best harnesses. If your children are of different ages, a sit-and- stand stroller, like our top choice, the UPPAbaby v2 double, could be an ideal choice. It accepts two infant car seats and comes with two seats that act as bassinets for older kids—and can be adapted to accommodate the use of a riding board to accommodate a sibling of a similar age.
