Buying a Small Double Stroller A double stroller is a major investment, and one you'll be using for many years. That's why you need to choose carefully. Our testers examined strollers that offer great flexibility and a smooth ride on any terrain. They also inspected whether the strollers were easy to fold and maneuver. Size There are many styles of double strollers on the market such as tandem, side-by-side (single-file) and wagons. The category has evolved from the massive 1980s models that a few older generations might have recalled. Nowadays they're sleek and come with various customization options to make traveling with kids more enjoyable for everyone. For parents who have infants or toddlers to take along, an extra stroller that has car seats can be incredibly useful for taking them from A B. Some of the most modern strollers come with frames that can accommodate two infant car seat or convertible toddler seats. They can be used by children as young as until they reach kindergarten age. They are generally more expensive than double stroller frames, but they come with an integrated car seat system and a large undercarriage basket. Parents with fewer children may choose a single-to-double-stroller that is less complicated and more affordable. These strollers are typically lighter and some moms utilize their original stroller after their children have outgrown it. Another great feature of a few of the tiniest double strollers we've tested is the compact fold. They can fit in spaces larger strollers can't and are generally easier to maneuver when folded. Finally, most of the compact double strollers we've tested feature a nice-sized sunshade, though coverage can vary from almost nothing to a cocoon covering. For families on a budget it's worth looking at second-hand strollers available on sites like Facebook Marketplace to see if there's a stroller that will meet your family's needs—just be certain to check any used stroller for signs of wear and tear prior to purchasing one. Weight When shopping for a small double stroller, parents need to be aware of the amount they wish to spend and if it will fit their family's lifestyle. A lightweight stroller, for example, may not have the storage space to accommodate large bags or other gear. It may also not have a the capacity to cover a large area or other features that would make it easier to take on long journeys. The best double strollers are easy to maneuver and sturdy so that children can remain comfortable and not be confined to their seats. In our tests of comfort we prefer strollers that have adjustable seatbacks and leg rests that are cushioned. The top double strollers have reclined seats that allow children to unwind on long rides. Innovative designs and clever features make strollers that can be used in a variety of ways more popular than ever. Some of the most popular strollers can fit several car seats and offer an array of seating options from birth to preschool. Some are even lightweight enough for jogging or travel. One of the most important things to take into consideration when selecting a small double stroller is whether it can fit through doorways and other narrow spaces. The older models of tandem strollers and side-byside walkers are often too large to pass through many doors. The most compact double strollers tend to be smaller than the traditional models and can be pushed into most standard doorways with ease. Another thing to think about is whether you require an additional feature on your stroller like a cup holder, or a snack tray. These can be handy for longer trips, but they can add to the weight and cost of the double stroller. Folding A compact double stroller that folds compactly, fitting easily into tight spaces and making it easy to put away. Additionally, its lightweight design guarantees that it will be easy to maneuver and transport. Think about the places and times you will be using a double stroller. The answer to these questions will help you determine the features that are most important. For instance, if intend to run in the stroller you'll need to find one with an easy suspension that can glide over rough and uneven terrain. Take into consideration the age and temperament of your children too. If they are of similar age and temperament, a side-by-side stroller could be the best option. If they are in different stages of development then a tandem stroller may be more suitable for you. A double stroller is expensive however, the investment will pay dividends over time. Making the investment in a high-quality model that fits your family's needs will make travel with children much easier and will offer years of convenience for you and your children. If you're short on storage space, double strollers are a great option. It can hold toddlers and infant car seats. Evenflo Pivot Xplore Wagon can accommodate twins and is an excellent option for families with two children. It has two canopy options as well as a storage bin which can be attached, as well as a tray for the child with cup holders. This lightweight, budget-friendly stroller folds up easily and can be carried with just one hand. It is worth noting that the majority of double modular strollers require you to remove the second seat prior to folding them. Maneuverability The best double strollers for small spaces are easy to maneuver, and they come with wheels that glide smoothly across any surface. These strollers have reclining seats that are comfortable and plenty of storage space for your child's gear. In addition, many of these strollers can accommodate car seat carriers as well as infant toddler seats. These features make them a perfect option for families that want one stroller that can expand with their family. Alli Cavasino is a certified child safety technician and travel gear expert who advises parents on strollers and other travel equipment. She recommends selecting a light, easy-to-push model. “Strollers that are too heavy could cause frame fatigue and injury,” she says. “If your stroller feels heavy and difficult to push, you might consider including a ride-along board, or reduce the number of children in the seat.” Several of the small double strollers we tested can accommodate multiple infant car seats. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double, for instance, can accommodate two infant seats or toddler seats at a time, and can be converted to three seats using the RumbleSeat add-on. It also comes with a fashionable inline design with foam-filled tires which will not flatten, and an adjustable telescoping handbar. The seat buckles are among the most simple to fasten and unfasten and its large UPF 50+ sunshades come with peekaboo windows. Other models offer seating configuration flexibility, which makes them suitable for multiples, twins or a single older kid and an infant or toddler with a riding scooter (sold separately). These models also have easy-to use brakes and a compact fold that fits into most trunks. Some are so light that they can be carried up and down stairs. Most require little assembly. The Joovy Caboose, however, requires some tools and was the most difficult to build during our tests. Safety The top double strollers have many safety features, including adjustable handlebars for a comfortable grip and a wide base that doesn't fall over when the kids get up from their seats. They also come with large canopy that protect both kids even the rain. Alli Cavasino is a certified child safety technician. She says they're easy to use. “Look for an easy oneor two-step fold that can be easy to carry and has a clear, obvious location to put the straps,” she advises. The tiniest strollers are able to pass through doors easily. This is a great advantage if you live an apartment that is small or have a car that isn't as big. The smallest models are much lighter than traditional double strollers, which makes them easier to lug from one location to another. No need to strain your arms and back when you carry an oversized stroller on your shoulder. Parents with children older than their age could consider an asymmetrical stroller such as our top pick, the Joovy Kooper X2, which includes two child seats which can be adjusted for width and recline individually. We discovered that the seats are extremely comfortable, and the reclining was quick and intuitive. Each seat is equipped with a single lever. It also comes with an ample storage basket, a built-in parking brake that is one step (to reduce fatigue in the hands when stopping) and a few of our most popular harnesses. If double pram and pushchair have children who are apart in age, then a stroller that sits and stands, such as our top pick, the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, might be a good fit. It is compatible with two infant car seats and has a pair of modified seats which function as bassinets older children. It can also be modified to accommodate a riding board for a sibling who is even older.
