Buying a Small Double Stroller

A double stroller is an important investment, and one that you will use for years. That's why you need to make a wise choice.

Our test participants looked at strollers that have incredible flexibility and a smooth ride on any terrain. They also examined whether the strollers were easy to fold and maneuver.

Size

There are many styles of double strollers, including side-by-side, tandem (single-file) and wagons. The style has changed from the old 1980s models some older millennials might remember. These days, they're sleek and offer a variety of options to make traveling with kids more enjoyable for everyone.

For parents with infants or toddlers in tow, an extra stroller that has a car seat can be incredibly useful for taking them from A B. Some of the most advanced strollers feature a single frame which can accommodate two infant car seat or convertible toddler seats. This lets them be used by children as young as until they reach kindergarten age. They're generally more expensive than double stroller frames, but offer an integrated car seat system, as well as an enormous undercarriage basket.

Parents with fewer children may prefer a simple and less expensive single-to-double stroller. These strollers are generally lighter in weight, and some moms have even told us they're still using their original stroller years after their children outgrew it.

Another great feature of some of the smaller double strollers we've tested is the compact fold. They can be tucked away where larger strollers won't and are often easier to maneuver once folded.

Finally, most of the small double strollers we've tested come with a decent-sized sunshade, although the coverage varies from nothing to a cocoon covering. If you're on a tight budget, you might want to check out secondhand strollers for sale on sites like Facebook Marketplace. Just make sure to check the stroller for wear and tear prior to buying it.

Weight

When looking for a compact double stroller, parents must consider how much they want to pay and if it's a good fit for their family's lifestyle. For instance, a lightweight stroller might not have enough space to store bulky bags or other gear. It also might not have the capacity to cover a large area or other features that make the stroller easier to use on long trips.

The most comfortable double strollers are easy to maneuver and sturdy so that the children can remain in a comfortable position and not be confined to their seats. Strollers that have padded seatbacks as well as adjustable leg rests earn higher scores in our tests of comfort than those without. The best double strollers also have reclining seating positions that allow kids to unwind during long rides.

Innovative designs and thoughtful features are making strollers that can be used in many ways more popular than ever. Some of the best options can accommodate multiple car seat configurations and offer a wide range of seating options from birth to preschool years. Some are so light that they can be used for running or even for traveling.

When choosing a small double stroller it is crucial to determine if the stroller can fit through narrow doorways and other spaces. The majority of older models of side-by-side strollers and tandem strollers are wide in general which makes them incompatible with the majority of doors. The best tandem strollers are usually shorter than the typical models, and are able to be easily pushed through doors.

It is also important to consider whether you need a stroller with additional features such as an holder for your cup and a snack tray. These are useful for longer trips but can add weight and cost to a double stroller.

Folding

A compact double stroller can fold compactly to fit in small spaces. It is also easy to keep in storage. A light design makes it easy to carry and move.

Before you pick a small double stroller take note of where you'll use it and how often. These questions will help you determine the most important features. If you plan to run with your stroller, you'll want one with an easy suspension so that it can easily glide across rough terrain and pavement.

Also, think about the temperament and age of your children. If they are close in age, then a tandem stroller could be the best. However, if they are at different stages of development, then a tandem model may be better suited for your needs.

A double stroller is expensive, but the investment will pay off in the long run. Making the investment in a high-quality model that fits your family's needs will make traveling with children much easier, and it will also offer years of convenience for both of you.

If you are limited in storage space, consider a small double stroller that can accommodate infant car seats and toddlers. The Evenflo Pivot Xplore Wagon is an excellent choice for families with two small children and can hold twins. It has two canopy options as well as a storage bin which attaches, and a tray for the child with cup holders. This lightweight, affordable stroller folds up easily and can be carried with only one hand. You should be aware that you have to remove the second seat from most double modular strollers when folding.

Maneuverability

The best small double strollers are easy to maneuver and come with smooth, responsive wheels that glide over any surface. They also have comfortable, reclining seats and ample storage space for children's gear. A lot strollers are compatible with infant and toddler seats, as well as car seat carriers. These features make these strollers a great option for families looking for a single, multi-purpose stroller.

Alli Cavasino, a certified child passenger safety technician who advises parents on travel gear and strollers she suggests selecting a lightweight stroller that is easy for children to push. She advises that strollers that are heavy can cause frame fatigue and injuries. "If your stroller is heavy and difficult to push, think about including a ride-along board, or reduce the number of kids in the seat."

A few of the double strollers that we tested are able to accommodate multiple infant car seats. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, for instance, can accommodate two infant car seats or toddler seats at once and can convert to a three-seat layout by using the add-on RumbleSeat. It also has a stylish inline design, with foam-filled tires that can't be flat and a telescoping handlebar that can be adjusted. Its seat belts are easy to adjust and remove, and its UPF 50+ sunshades have windows that can be seen through.

Other models offer seating configuration that is flexible, making them suitable for multiples, twins, an older child who is a single person, an infant, or a toddler with a scooter (sold separately). They also come with easy-to-use brakes and a relatively compact fold that fits into most trunks. Some are light enough to schlep up and down the stairs. They also require minimal assembly, though the Joovy Caboose requires a few tools and took the longest time to build in our tests.

Safety

The best double strollers are equipped with multiple safety features. They come with adjustable handlebars that give you the user with a comfortable grip and an extra wide base that won't fall over when children leap out of their seats. The canopy is large enough to cover both kids in the event of rain. Alli Cavasino is a certified child safety technician. She says they are simple to use. "Look for a oneor two-step fold that can be easily carried and has a clear, easy where to place the straps," she advises.

The narrowest double strollers can be pushed easily through doors, which is a major benefit for those with a small car or limited living space. The smallest models weigh less than normal double strollers. This makes them easier to transport from one location to the next.

Parents with children of similar ages may prefer a side by side stroller like our top pick one: the Joovy Kooper X2, that features two child seats that can be individually adjusted to recline and width. In our tests the seats, we found them to be very comfortable and the reclining to be quick and intuitive by using a single and double stroller lever on each seat. 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 some of our most popular harnesses.

If your children are different ages, a sit-and- stand stroller, like our top pick, the UPPAbaby v2 double, could be a good option. It can fit two infant car seats, and it has a pair modified seats that double as bassinets.
