Buying a Small Double Stroller A double stroller is an important purchase, and it's one you'll be using for many years. You should choose wisely. Our testers were looking for strollers that had great mobility and smooth rides across all terrains. They also inspected whether the models were easy to fold and maneuver. Size There are many different styles of double strollers on market, ranging from side-by-side to tandem (single-file seating) and wagons. The category has evolved from the behemoth vintage 1980s models that some elder generation millennials may remember. Today they're sleek and come with a range of customizations to make traveling with kids more enjoyable for everyone involved. If you have a child or toddlers, double strollers that include a car seat can be incredibly useful for transporting them from A to B. Some of the most sophisticated strollers on the market feature a single frame that can hold two infant car seats or convertible toddler seats allowing them to be used from birth until the time children reach the age of kindergarten. These are typically more expensive than a standard double stroller frame, however they also offer the convenience of an integrated car seat system, as well as a large undercarriage basket which can accommodate both car seats. Parents with fewer children could opt for a single-to double-stroller, which is less complicated and more affordable. These strollers are generally lighter in weight, and some mothers have told us they're still using their original stroller years after their children outgrew it. Another excellent feature of a number of the tiniest double strollers we've tested is their compact fold. They can fit in spaces larger strollers can't, and are often easier to maneuver when folded. Finally, most of the compact double strollers we've tested have a large sunshade, but the coverage varies from nothing to a cocoon cover. For budget-conscious families it's worth looking at secondhand strollers on sites like Facebook Marketplace to see if there's a model that meets your family's requirements. Make sure to examine any used stroller for signs of wear and tear before making a decision to purchase one. Weight When looking for a compact double stroller, parents should think about how much they would like to spend and if it will fit their family's lifestyle. A lightweight stroller, for example, may not have enough storage to accommodate large bags or additional gear. It also might not have the capacity to cover a large area or other features that make it easier to use for long trips. The best double strollers are durable and easy to maneuver and ensure that the children stay comfortably in their seats and do not move around when they ride. Strollers that have padded seatbacks as well as adjustable leg rests get higher marks in our comfort tests than strollers without. The best double strollers also offer reclining seating positions that let kids relax during long trips. Innovative designs and clever features have made strollers that can be used in a variety of ways more popular than ever. Some of the most effective options can accommodate multiple car seat installations and provide an extended range of seating options from the beginning of childhood to preschool. Others are even light enough to jog or even travel with. One of the most important things to consider when choosing a compact double stroller is whether it will fit through doorways and other narrow spaces. The majority of older models of side-by-side strollers as well as tandem strollers have an overall wideness that makes them incompatible with many doors. The top double strollers are generally shorter than the typical models, and can be pushed through most standard doorways. It is also important to consider whether you require a stroller that has additional features like cups holder and a snack tray. These are useful for longer trips but will add weight and expense to a double stroller. Folding A small double stroller folds compactly to fit in small spaces. It is also easy to store. Its lightweight design makes it easy to carry and maneuver. Before you decide on a compact double stroller consider the location you intend to use it and how often. These questions will help you determine which features are most important. If you intend to run with your stroller, you'll want one that has a smooth suspension so it can glide smoothly over rough roads and uneven terrain. Be aware of the age and temperament of your children too. If they are of similar age and have similar temperaments, a tandem stroller may be the most suitable option. However, if they are at different stages of development it is possible that a tandem stroller would be more suitable for your requirements. A double stroller may be costly, but it's an investment that pays off in the long run. A good model that is suitable for your family's needs can simplify the process of traveling with kids. It also provides you and your children with years of convenience. If you are limited in storage space, consider a small double stroller that can accommodate both infant car seats as well as toddlers. Evenflo Pivot Xplore Wagon can accommodate twins and is a great option for families with two children. It comes with two canopy options, an attachable storage bin and a tray for the child with cup holders. This stroller is budget-friendly and offers a quick and simple fold and can be carried with just one hand. It is important to know that you have to remove the second seat on the majority of double modular strollers before folding. Maneuverability The best double stroller s for small spaces are easy to maneuver, and have wheels that glide smoothly over any surface. These strollers feature seating that reclines and ample storage space for your child's gear. Additionally they can accommodate car seat carriers and infant toddler seats. These features make these strollers an ideal choice for families that want one stroller that is multi-purpose. Alli Cavasino, a certified child passenger safety technician who advises parents on strollers and travel equipment she suggests selecting a lightweight stroller that is easy for children to push. She says that heavy strollers can cause frame fatigue and injuries. If your stroller is heavy and difficult to push, you can add a ride-along or reduce the number of children. Several of the small double strollers we tested could accommodate multiple infant car seat carriers. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, for instance, can carry two infant car seats or toddler seats simultaneously and converts into a three-seater configuration with the addition of RumbleSeat. It also comes with a fashionable inline design, with foam-filled tires that can't go flat and a telescoping handlebar with an adjustable height. Its seat buckles are one of the easiest to unfasten and fasten and its large UPF 50+ sunshades feature window-like windows. Other models provide seating versatility, making them suitable for twins, multiples, one older child and an infant or toddler with a riding 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. Most require little assembly. The Joovy Caboose however, requires some tools and was among the most difficult build in our tests. Safety The most reliable double strollers come with multiple safety features. They have adjustable handlebars that provide the user with a comfortable grip and an extra wide base that won't tip over when the children jump out of their seats. They also have generous canopies that can be used to protect both children and even the rain. They're also easy to use, according to Alli Cavasino who is a certified child passenger safety technician. “Look for a simple one- or two-step fold that is easy to carry and has a clear place where the straps can be positioned,” she says. The most compact strollers pass through doors easily. This is an excellent advantage if you live a small apartment or have a car that isn't as big. The smallest models are also much lighter than standard double strollers, which makes them easier to lug from one place to another—no more straining your arms and back when you carry a heavy stroller over your shoulder. Parents with children older than their age could consider the side-by-side stroller, such as our top pick, the Joovy Kooper X2, which has two child seats which can be adjusted for width and recline individually. In our tests, we discovered that the seats were extremely comfortable, and the recline was smooth and easy. Each seat is equipped with one lever. It also comes with a large storage basket as well as a one-step linked parking brake (to reduce hand fatigue when stopping), and some of the best harnesses in our tests. If your children are different ages, a sitting-and- stand stroller, like our top choice UPPAbaby v2 double, may be a good option. It can fit two infant car seats, and it has a pair modified seats that can be used as bassinets.
