Buying a Small Double Stroller A double stroller is a significant investment, and one you'll use for a long time. This is why you must choose carefully. Our testers looked at strollers that have great flexibility and smooth rides on any terrain. They also tested whether the models were easy-to-fold and move. Size There are a variety of double strollers on the market, ranging from side-by-side to tandem (single-file seating) and wagons. The category has evolved from the vintage 1980s models some older millennials may be familiar with. These days, they're modern and sleek, with a variety of options to make traveling with children more enjoyable for all. For parents with infants or toddlers in tow, a double stroller that includes a car seat can be extremely useful in getting them from A to B. Some of the most advanced strollers on the market feature a single frame that can accommodate two infant car seats or convertible toddler seats, making them suitable for use from birth until the time children reach the age of kindergarten. They're generally more expensive than double stroller frames but offer an integrated car seat system, as well as a large undercarriage basket. Parents with fewer children could opt for a single-to double-stroller, which is less complicated and more affordable. These frames are usually lighter, and some moms still 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 into spaces larger strollers can't, and are often more compact when folded. Finally, most of the small double strollers we've tested have a large sunshade, but the coverage varies from nothing to a cocoon covering. If you're looking for a bargain then you may want to look for second-hand strollers that are available on websites like Facebook Marketplace. Just make sure you check the stroller for wear and tear prior to buying it. Weight Parents should take into consideration their budget and if the stroller is suitable for their family's needs when purchasing a double stroller. A lightweight stroller, for example, may not have enough storage to hold large bags or other equipment. It may not have a big canopy, or other features to make it more comfortable to use on long journeys. most compact double stroller are easy to maneuver and durable, so that the children can remain comfortable and not be confined to their seats. In our comfort tests, we give higher marks to strollers with adjustable leg rests and padded seatbacks. The top double strollers have reclined seats that allow children to relax on long rides. Strollers that can be used for a variety of reasons are becoming more popular than ever because of their innovative designs and thoughtful features. Some of the best strollers can accommodate several car seats and offer a wide range of seating options from birth to preschool. Others are even lightweight enough for jogging or even travel with. When choosing a small double-stroller it is crucial to know if the stroller will fit through narrow doorways and other spaces. The older models of tandem strollers as well as side-by-side strollers are typically too large to pass through many doors. The top double strollers are typically shorter than the typical models, and are able to be easily pushed through doors that are standard. Another thing to think about is whether you'll need an additional feature on your stroller like a cup holder or snack tray. These are great for longer trips, but they add to the weight and cost of a double stroller. Folding A compact double stroller can fold compactly, easily fitting into tight spaces and making it easy to put away. Its lightweight design makes it easy to carry and maneuver. Consider the frequency and location you will use a double stroller. The answer to these questions will help you identify the features that are the most important. For example, if you are planning to run in the stroller you'll need to choose one with a an easy suspension that can glide over pavement and rough terrain. Also, think about the age and temperament of your children. If they are of the same age and temperament, a side-by-side stroller may be the most suitable option. However, if they're in different stages of development then a tandem model may be better suited to your needs. A double stroller is expensive, but it's an investment that will pay off in the long in the long. Investing in a quality model that fits your family's needs will make traveling with children much easier and will give years of comfort to you and your children. If you're short on storage space, the double stroller is a great option. It can accommodate both infant car seats as well as toddlers. The Evenflo Pivot Xplore Wagon is an excellent choice for families with two children, and it can even accommodate twins. It comes with two canopy options, an attachable storage bin as well as a tray for children with cup holders. This budget-friendly, lightweight stroller folds up easily and can be carried using just one hand. It is worth noting that the majority of double modular strollers require you to take off the second seat prior to folding them. Maneuverability The most suitable double strollers for small spaces are easy to maneuver and they have wheels that glide smoothly over any surface. These strollers also feature comfortable, reclining seats as well as ample storage space for your kids' toys. Many of these strollers are also compatible with infant and toddler seats and car seat carriers. 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 provides parents with advice on strollers and travel equipment she suggests selecting a lightweight model that is easy to push. She warns that heavy strollers can cause frame fatigue and injuries. “If your stroller feels heavy and difficult to push, you might consider adding a ride-along board or reduce the number of kids in the seat.” A few of the double strollers that we tested can accommodate multiple infant car seats. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, for instance, can accommodate two infant car seats or toddler seats simultaneously and can convert to a three-seat layout by using the add-on RumbleSeat. It also features a chic, inline design, foam-filled tires that can't be flat and a telescoping handlebar with an adjustable height. The seat buckles are among the most simple to unfasten and fasten and its UPF 50+ sunshades come with peekaboo windows. Other models have seating that is flexible, making them suitable for multiples, twins or a single older kid and an infant or toddler with a scooter (sold separately). These models also feature brakes that are simple to use and a compact fold that fits into the majority of trunks. Some are even light enough to schlep up and down stairs. Most require only a few pieces of assembly although the Joovy Caboose requires some tools and took the longest time to build in our tests. Safety The most reliable double strollers come with a variety of safety features. They come with adjustable handlebars that give you a comfortable grip, and an extra wide base that won't fall over when children get out of their seats. The canopy is large enough to accommodate both kids in the event of rain. They're also very easy to use, says Alli Cavasino who is a certified child passenger safety technician. “Look for an easy one or two-step fold that is easy to carry and has a place where the straps can be positioned,” she says. The most compact strollers fit through doors with ease. This is a huge advantage if you live smaller spaces or have a limited car. The smallest models are significantly lighter than standard double strollers, making them easy to move from one place to another—no need to strain your arms and back when you carry the heavy stroller over your shoulder. Parents of children of similar ages may choose an X-style stroller that is side by side, such as our top choice for the Joovy Kooper X2, that includes two child seats that can be adjusted individually to recline and width. In our tests, we discovered that the seats were very comfortable, and recline was easy and easy. Each seat has only one lever. It also has an ample storage basket, an integrated parking brake that is one-step (to reduce fatigue in the hands while stopping) and a few 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, is an option. It is compatible with two infant car seats and comes with two seats which function as bassinets older kids—and can be adapted to accommodate the use of a riding board to accommodate a sibling of a similar age.
