Choosing a Double Travel Stroller

A double stroller is a godsend for parents who are busy with several young children. Choose one that's light and folds down small enough to fit in the trunk of your car or an airplane overhead bin.

Check the manufacturer's seat weight guidelines and avoid exceeding the recommended weights to avoid fatigue of the frame. Other must-haves include versatile seating arrangements for children of various age groups, adjustable canopy and plenty of storage.

Easy of Use

Double strollers are often criticized as being heavy and difficult to assemble. However, they've developed a lot since the 1980s. The best double strollers have a sleek design and can be adapted to meet your family's unique needs, whether it's a tandem (single seating in a file) or a side-byside configuration. They're also lightweight and fit into most car trunks, as well as on the majority of planes.

A stroller that's easy to maneuver across various terrains and fit into small spaces is important for families living in urban areas, where space is limited and public transportation is the primary mode of getting around. The lightweight and agile double seat stroller strollers we tested can maneuver through busy sidewalks and tight subway gates, making them essential for the bustling city.

We evaluate a stroller's ease of use by looking at several factors, such as how fast and simple the folding and setup process is, as well as whether it can be adjusted for families with different heights. We also look for a spacious storage bin and reclined seats that are easy to access and adjust as well as an extremely high weight limit for the canopy and seat. The Zoe Twin+ was rated highest in this category due to its huge canopy with ample storage space and quick fold.

The Mountain Buggy Nano Duo stroller is an excellent choice to consider if you're seeking a light stroller that fits easily into small trunks of cars. It's one of the lightest double strollers we've tried, and it folds down into an extremely compact size that is easier to transport up and down stairs than many other models. It's the smallest double umbrella stroller we've tested, making it an excellent choice for travel. Some airlines 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 like the Graco DuoGlider Elite allow you to use two infant car seats simultaneously, saving time and energy. You might also want to think about a tandem stroller that allows you to keep your children in ear and in sight.

Comfort

A well-padded, high-quality and comfortable seat is vital to ensure your child's safety on walks. It is recommended to choose a stroller that has a reclining backrest, a backrest that can be adjusted, and a large seat area to allow your child to sit up or stretch out. Consider a stroller with an expansive undercarriage that can hold bags of storage or other items without interfering in the position of the seats.

The size and weight of a double stroller can also affect its performance. Choose a model that has solid wheels and suspension that is able to glide smoothly over rough surfaces. A good double stroller can also be maneuvered in tight spaces, and navigate narrow hallways and crowded sidewalks and subway gates. If you plan to utilize a double stroller often, opt for an option with a quick, one or two-step fold that will fit into the trunk of a car or a compact vehicle.

Parents who travel with young children often use a double stroller for getting them around, especially in densely populated urban regions where space is at a premium and public transportation is common. This scenario is best served by a streamlined, modular double-stroller such as the CYBEX Gazelle, which allows parents to mix and blend seat units, cots and car seats to accommodate changing needs.

A double umbrella stroller is another option. They tend to be lighter and more compact models than the traditional ones. These are usually ideal for those traveling, as they fold quickly and easily and can be gate checked on planes, and usually meet the Disney stroller size requirements. They also have plenty of storage space onboard for snacks, toys and other equipment.

Those who have twins or siblings that are similar age can benefit the most from the use of a side-byside stroller. This type of double stroller is typically cheaper than a modular one, and its seats generally have ample recline options, legroom and canopy options that offer ample coverage. A side-by-side double stroller comes with one disadvantage: it can be difficult to maneuver through narrow hallways and busy sidewalks. The wider frame may also make it harder to pass through certain doorways.

Easy folding

When choosing a double travel stroller, the most important factor is ease of folding. This is especially important if you need to fold your stroller in tight spaces or on crowded sidewalks with cars and other people nearby. The best strollers feature an easy, simple folding operation with a few steps. They fold quickly and without any awkwardness which could lead to body parts slamming against each one another or sliding. Some of our favorite double travel stollers that fold quickly are the Evenflo Pivot Xplore and the Babyzen YOYO2 connect Double.

When you're looking for a double travel stroller, it's helpful to think about how long you intend to use it for. If you are planning to keep your children in the same seats for at least the preschool years, you may want to look into the side-by-side design which allows you to add an bassinets or infant car seats. If you think your children are ready to move to separate seats before then, a double stroller that converts to a convertible is a good option.

The best double-strollers we reviewed offer a near flat recline. This makes it easier for your children to lie down or have a snack while on the move. Some strollers have a different recline on each seat. For instance the front seat of the UPPAbaby Double v2 double jogging stroller is almost flat while the second seat is nearly upright. This can result in children fighting over which seat they should take a seat in.

Also, you'll need to think about the size of your vehicle's trunk, as some double travel strollers are a bit bulky and won't fit in the back of smaller cars. For this reason, we recommend choosing a double stroller that can fit comfortably in your trunk and can be easily folded and stored away when not in use. We also like double strollers that have a small, light footprint with a light weight and a simple design, like the ZOE Twin+. It's the most compact double stroller we've tested, and at just over 19 pounds it's among the lightest strollers and can still meet airline gate-check luggage weight limits. It's Disney-sized approved!

Storage

The behemoth strollers from the 1980s might have given double strollers an unpopular image, but they've evolved a great deal. These days, sleek, modular models can be fitted with a range of options for customization, and fit kids from birth through kindergarten, and are available in side-byside or tandem double stroller (single-file seating) designs. Some models can also accommodate infant car seats, and some include an attachable ridingboard. While you might need to put more money into the purchase, the investment can be rewarded in the form of versatility and resale value.

When choosing a double stroller, you should consider the weight limit of each seat and the storage space available, and whether or not each seat reclines. A deep recline is great for naps while on the move and a canopy that offers UV protection can help keep kids from overheating in the sun. Double strollers can also feature parent-facing cupholders and dual snack tray for on-the-go convenience.

Another aspect to be aware of is the weight of the stroller, as this will impact your ability to move it around and maneuver it into tight spaces. Some of the top lightweight strollers, such as the Kolcraft Cloud Plus weigh less than 23 pounds, and can carry children up to 40 pounds. It's lighter than a single stroller, and is easy to carry through airports and into vehicles.

If you are on a tight budget, consider looking at double strollers on sites like Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. These sites typically offer gently used double strollers for sale at affordable prices. Double strollers that are in good condition are free of rust and loose screws. If you are considering using a used double buggy that converts to single-stroller with your kids conduct a thorough examination and inspect the wheel axles. There are strollers for rent in some cities, though this option isn't available everywhere and could be expensive in the event that you intend to use the stroller regularly.
