Buying a Small Double Stroller

A double stroller is a major investment, and it's one that you will use for a long time. That's why it's important to choose carefully.

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

Size

There are many styles of double strollers, including side-by-side, tandem (single-file) and wagons. The type of stroller has changed from the classic 1980s designs that older millennials may be familiar with. Nowadays, they are sleek and offer a variety of options to make traveling with kids more enjoyable for all.

For parents of toddlers or infants, a double stroller that includes a car seats is a great option for getting them from point A to point B. Some of the most advanced strollers available feature frames that can hold two infant car seats or convertible toddler seats, which allows them to be used from birth up until kids reach kindergarten age. They're generally more expensive than a standard double stroller frame, however they also come with the convenience of an integrated car seat system as well as a large undercarriage basket which can hold both car seats.

Parents with less children can choose a single-to-double-stroller that is less complicated and more affordable. These strollers are generally lighter in weight, and a few moms have even told us they're still using their old stroller after their children outgrew it.

The compact fold is another great feature of some the tiniest double strollers we've tested. They can fit in places where larger strollers wouldn't, and they're often easier to maneuver once folded.

Most double strollers that we tested have a decent-sized sunshade. However, the amount of shade coverage can range from nothing to an entire cocoon. For budget-conscious families you should look into second-hand strollers on websites like Facebook Marketplace to see if there's an option that fits your family's needs. Just be sure to examine the stroller for signs of wear and tear before committing to buying one.

Weight

When looking for a compact double running stroller stroller, parents should be aware of the amount they wish to spend and if it will fit their family's lifestyle. For example, a lightweight stroller may not have enough space for large bags or other gear. It may not have a large canopy or other features to make it easier to use on long trips.

The most comfortable double strollers are easy to maneuver and durable, to ensure that children remain comfortable and not get out of their seats. Strollers with cushioned seatbacks and adjustable leg rests score higher marks in our comfort tests than strollers without. The best
The tiniest strollers are able to fit through doors with ease. This is a great advantage if you live an apartment that is small or have a car that isn't as big. The smallest models are also considerably lighter than standard double strollers, making them easy to move from one location to another. No needing to strain your arms or back as you sling the heavy stroller over your shoulder.

Parents of children of similar ages can opt for an X-style stroller that is side by side one of our top choice one: the Joovy Kooper X2, that includes two child seats that can be individually adjusted to recline and width. In our tests, we found that the seats were very comfortable, and recline was easy and easy. Each seat has only one lever. It also has an enormous storage basket, an integrated parking brake that is one-step (to reduce fatigue in the hands when stopping) and a few of our top harnesses.

If you have children that are apart in age, then a sit and stand double stroller-and-stand stroller, like our top choice UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, might be a good fit. It can accommodate two car seats for infants, and it comes with a pair of modified seats that double as bassinets.
