Choosing a Double Travel Stroller A double stroller can be a lifesaver for busy parents with multiple young children. Pick a stroller that is lightweight and can be folded down small enough to fit into the trunk of your car or into an overhead bin. Review the manufacturer's seat weight recommendations, and be sure to not exceed the recommended weights to avoid fatigue of the frame. Other essentials include flexible seating arrangements for children of various age groups, adjustable canopy and plenty of storage. Simple to use Double strollers are often given a bad rap for being cumbersome and difficult to assemble, but this category of strollers has made a huge leap from the massive 1980s versions. The best double strollers are sleek and offer a range of customizations to suit your family's needs, whether you're looking for a tandem (single-file seating) or a side-by-side arrangement. They're also lightweight enough for travel and to fit in the trunks of cars and on planes, where they can be gate-checked like any other luggage. It's important to have a stroller that's easy to maneuver across different surfaces and can fit into tight spaces, especially for families who live in urban areas where space is scarce and public transport is the primary mode of transport. The light and agile double strollers we test can weave through the crowded sidewalks and narrow subway gates, making them essential for busy city life. We consider a variety of factors when we evaluate the convenience, such as how easy it is to fold and set up and also if it can be adjusted to accommodate family members of different heights. We also look for an ample storage bin, reclining seats that have easy access and adjustment, as well as the maximum weight limit for the canopy and seat. The Zoe Twin+ earned top marks in this category because of its ample storage capacity, super-sized canopies, and the ability to fold quickly. The Mountain Buggy Nano Duo stroller is a great choice to consider if you're looking for a lightweight stroller that can easily fit in small trunks of cars. It's one of the lightest double strollers we've tested and it folds into an extremely compact size that is easier to transport up and down stairs than many other models. It's the lightest double umbrella-style stroller we've ever tested and is a great option for traveling. Some airlines will even allow you to gate-check this stroller. A car seat with a side-by-side that can fit two infants is crucial for parents of twins. Some double strollers such as the Graco DuoGlider Elite allow you to use two infant car seats at the same time, saving time and energy. You may also want to consider a tandem stroller that will allow you to keep your children within earshot and sight. Comfort If you want to ensure your children are safe during walks, a good quality, padded seat is crucial. You should look for a stroller with a reclining backrest, a backrest that can be adjusted, and a spacious seat to allow your child to sit up or stretch out. For extra comfort, think about a stroller with a roomy undercarriage that can accommodate bags of storage and other things without compromising the seat's position. The size and weight of a double travel stroller can also affect its performance. Make sure you choose a model with robust wheels and suspension that allow it to glide easily over rough surfaces. A well-constructed double stroller is also capable of turning in tight spaces and navigate narrow corridors, crowded sidewalks, and subway gates. If you plan to utilize a double stroller often you should choose an option with a quick one- or two-step fold that will fit into a trunk or compact car. Double strollers are commonly used by parents traveling with children who are small, particularly in urban areas that are heavily populous and where public transportation is common. A streamlined modular double stroller such as the CYBEX Gazelle S is a great choice for this type of situation, since it lets parents mix and match seat units including cot attachments, cots, and car seats to meet changing needs of the family as well as when children outgrow their infant car seats. A double umbrella stroller is a different option. They are typically smaller and lighter than the traditional ones. They are ideal for travel because they can be folded quickly and easily. They can also be gate checked on airplanes, and typically are able to meet Disney stroller size requirements. Some also offer plenty of onboard storage for toys, snacks, and other gear. A double stroller that is side-by-side is best for parents who have twins, or siblings who are close in age. This kind of double stroller is generally less expensive than a modular model, and the seats usually have ample recline, legroom, and canopy options that offer ample coverage. A side-by-side double stroller has only one drawback: it can be difficult to navigate through narrow hallways and overcrowded sidewalks. The wider frame may make it more difficult to get through some doors. Ease of folding The folding ease is the most important factor to consider when choosing a double travel pram. This is especially important if you need to fold your stroller in tight spaces or on busy sidewalks with cars and other people near. The most efficient strollers fold in the simplest of steps that are intuitive and easy. They fold without awkward complexities which can cause a bang on parts of the body or sliding. Some of our favorite double travel stollers that fold quickly include the Evenflo PivotXplore and the Babyzen YOYO2 connect Double. When looking for a double travel stroller, you should think about how long you intend to use it for. If single to double pushchair are planning to keep your children in the same car seats for at least the time of their preschool years, you may consider a side-by-side model that lets you add an infant car seat or bassinets. Convertible double strollers are a great option if you're thinking that your kids are ready to move into separate seats prior to that point. A few of the top double strollers in our reviews come with a flat recline, which makes it comfortable for your kids to nap or take a snack break while on the go. However, some products have distinct reclines for each seat (the front seat on the UPPAbaby Vista Double v2 Double is almost flat, while the second seat remains nearly upright). This sort of dissimilarity in recline can cause children to argue over which seat they want to sit in. You'll also need to consider the size of your vehicle's trunk, since some double travel strollers are a bit bulky and won't fit in the back of cars with smaller trunks. We suggest you select a double stroller which fits easily into your trunk and can be folded up and stored when it is not in use. We also prefer double strollers that have a small footprint, low weight, and a minimalist design. The ZOE Twin+ is one of these. It is the smallest double stroller we tested. With just 19 pounds, it's among the lightest strollers and still allow for airline check-in weight limits for luggage. It's Disney-sized-approved! Stores Double strollers have probably earned an unpopular reputation due to the behemoth vintage 1980s versions that many of the millennials of the past remember but they've come quite far. Nowadays modern, minimalist models can accommodate a wide range of options for customization, and fit kids from birth through kindergarten, and are available in side-by-side or tandem (single-file seating) models. Some models can also allow for infant car seats, and some have an attachable ridingboard. While you might need to invest more up front, the investment can yield in flexibility and resale value. Some of the things to take into consideration when choosing a double travel stroller include the weight limit for each seat, the storage space available and whether each seat has recline. A recline that is deep allows for easy naps moving about and a canopy that has UV protection will help keep your child from overheating. Some double strollers come with cup holders for parents and dual snack trays to make it easier on the move. The weight of the stroller is important, as it can affect your ability to maneuver in tight places. Some of the best lightweight double strollers, like the Kolcraft Cloud Plus, weigh less than 23 pounds and can accommodate children up to 40lbs. It's lighter than a single stroller and easy to carry through airports and into vehicles. If you're looking to save money look for used options on sites such as Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, which usually have gently used double strollers available at bargain prices. Double strollers that are in good condition are free of rust and loose screws. If you've found a used double stroller, ensure that you conduct a thorough inspection, including looking over the wheel axles for damage, before using it with your children. There are also strollers for rent in some cities, though this isn't a possibility everywhere and can be pricey in the event that you intend to use the stroller frequently.
