Buying a Small Double Stroller A double stroller is a major purchase, and it's one you'll use for many years. It is important to choose carefully. Our testers were looking for strollers that had great mobility and smooth rides over any terrain. They also checked whether the models were easy to fold and maneuver. Size There are a variety of double strollers available that include tandem, side-byside (single-file) and wagons. The type of stroller has changed from the old 1980s models that older millennials may be familiar with. These days, they're modern and sleek, with a variety of features that make travelling with kids more enjoyable for all. If you have a child or toddlers, a double stroller that includes a car seat is a great option for transporting them from A to B. Some of the most advanced strollers feature a single frame which can accommodate two infant car seats or convertible toddler seats. They can be utilized by children from birth until they reach kindergarten age. They're generally more expensive than a standard double stroller frame, but they also offer the convenience of an integrated car seat system and a spacious undercarriage basket that can accommodate both car seats. Parents with fewer children may prefer a simple one-to-double stroller that is less expensive. These types of frames are typically lighter in weight, and some mothers have told us they're still using their original stroller after their children outgrew it. Another great feature of a number of the tiniest double strollers we've tested is the compact fold. They can be tucked away where larger strollers won't and are often more maneuverable once folded. Additionally, the majority of compact double strollers we've tested feature a nice-sized sunshade, though coverage can vary from almost nothing to a cocoon covering. For families with a tight budget you should look into secondhand strollers on sites like Facebook Marketplace to see if there's a stroller that will meet your family's requirements. Make sure to examine the stroller for signs of wear and tear before purchasing one. Weight Parents should consider their budget and if the stroller is suitable for the family's lifestyle before purchasing a double stroller. For instance, a light stroller might not provide enough storage space for bulky bags or extra gear. It may not have a big canopy or other features to make it more comfortable to use on long trips. The most reliable double strollers are durable and easy to maneuver that helps ensure that the children remain comfortably in their seats and don't shift around while riding. In our tests for comfort, we award higher marks to strollers with adjustable seatbacks and leg rests that are cushioned. The best double strollers also have reclining seating positions which allow children to unwind on long walks. Strollers that can be used for a variety of reasons are more popular than ever, due to their innovative designs and clever features. The best models can accommodate multiple car seat installation and offer a variety of seating options for children from birth to preschool years. Some are so light that they can be used for jogging or traveling. When selecting a compact double-stroller, it is important to know if the stroller can fit through narrow doorways and other spaces. Older models of tandem strollers and side-byside strollers are usually too wide to fit through the majority of doors. The most compact double strollers, however, tend to be smaller than the traditional models and can be pushed right into doors of all sizes with ease. You should also think about whether you need a stroller that has additional features like a cup holder and snack tray. These are great for longer trips, but they add to the overall weight and cost of the double stroller. Folding A compact double stroller can fold compactly to fit into tiny spaces. It is also easy to keep in storage. In addition, a lightweight design guarantees that it will be easy to move and carry. Before you pick a stroller that is small take note of the location you intend to use it and how often. These questions will help you determine the most important features. For example, if you are planning to use the stroller for running, then you will want to look for one with an elongated suspension that can glide across rough and paved terrain. Take into consideration the age and temperament of your children as well. If they are of similar age, then a tandem stroller could be the best. If they are at different stages of development then a tandem style may be more suitable for your requirements. A double stroller can be costly but it will pay off over time. Making the investment in a high-quality model that fits your family's needs will make travelling with kids easier and will provide years of convenience for both of you. If you're limited with storage space, consider a compact double stroller that can accommodate toddler car seats and infant car seats. Evenflo Pivot Xplore Wagon can accommodate twins and is an excellent option for families with two children. It has dual canopies and a storage bin that can be attached as well as a tray for children with cup holders. This budget-friendly, lightweight stroller is easy to fold and can be carried using just one hand. Be aware that you need to remove the second seat from most double modular strollers when folding. Maneuverability The best double strollers for small children are easy to maneuver and come with smooth, supple wheels that glide over any surface. These strollers also feature comfortable, reclining seats as well as ample storage space for children's gear. A lot of these strollers are also compatible with infant and toddler seats as well as car seat carriers. These features make them a perfect option for families looking for a single stroller that will grow with their family. Alli Cavasino, a certified child passenger safety technician who advises parents on strollers and travel equipment, recommends choosing a lightweight stroller that is easy to push. “Strollers that are too heavy could cause frame fatigue and injuries,” she says. If your stroller is too heavy and difficult to push, you can add a ride-along feature or reduce the number of children. Several of the small double strollers we tried 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 into 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 handbar that can be telescoping. The seat buckles are among the easiest to fasten and unfasten, and its generous UPF 50+ sunshades feature peekaboo windows. Other models provide seating flexibility, which makes them suitable for multiples, twins or a single older kid and an infant, or a toddler who has a riding scooter (sold separately). They also come with brakes that are easy to use and a relatively compact fold that fits into the majority of trunks. double pram and pushchair are so lightweight that they can be carried up and down stairs. Most require only a few pieces of assembly, though the Joovy Caboose requires a few tools and took the longest time to build in our tests. double pram and pushchair have multiple safety features, including adjustable handlebars for a comfortable grip, and a large base that won't tip when the children get out of their seats. They also have generous canopies that protect both kids rain or storms. They're also simple to use, according to Alli Cavasino who is a certified child passenger safety technician. “Look for simple one or two step fold that is easy to carry and has a space where straps can be put,” she says. The most double strollers can be pushed through doorways with ease—a major benefit if you have the space of a small car or living space. The smallest models also weigh less than standard double strollers. This makes them easier to carry from one place to the next. Parents with children of similar ages may opt for a side by side stroller, such as our top pick for the Joovy Kooper X2, that features two child seats that can be individually adjusted for recline and width. In our tests the seats we found them to be extremely comfortable, and the reclining to be simple and easy with just a single lever on each seat. It also comes with an enormous storage basket, a built-in parking brake that is one-step (to reduce fatigue in hands when stopping) and some of our most popular harnesses. If your children are of different ages, a sitting-and- stand stroller, like our top choice the UPPAbaby V2 double, may be a good option. It can fit two car seats for infants, and it also has two modified seats that double as bassinets.
