A double stroller could make life easier if you have twins or small children. However, with all the options to choose from, selecting the right one can be a challenge.

The type of double stroller will depend on the model you select. Our Lab experts analyze a variety of factors to choose the best double strollers.

Size

The trunk of your car can take up more space when you own two strollers. They also weigh more. When you compare models it is essential to think about the size of the trunk and doors.

If your children are similar in age, a tandem double stroller might work best. This will allow them to travel together and play with one another. It can also be difficult to maneuver than a tandem stroller.

If your children are older, a stand-and-seat model is a good choice for them to do some exercise. Our testers liked this one because it has cushioned bumper bars, adjustable five-point harnesses that can be easily threaded and buckle, as well as seats with generously sized, independently recliners that can recline. Additionally, the canopy provides an expansive window that lets you peek inside. It is lightweight and easy to fold, making it an ideal travel double stroller choice. It's also compatible with Graco Click Connect infant car seats.

Weight

The strength of the upper body is the thing that parents count on every day. It's therefore important to choose a double stroller which is lightweight and easy to move. The most lightweight compact double strollers weigh under 24 pounds and are easily folded and carried by most adults.

A good lightweight double stroller also has some characteristics that make it more convenient to use for parents with features like cup and snack holders, a tray for the parents as well as a sunshade with peekaboo windows. Our lab professionals appreciate that this affordable model comes with multiple riding positions, a movable foot rest and can accommodate Graco infant car seats (a huge benefit when travel).

Most double strollers that are fully-featured have a weight of more than 30 pounds with both child seats attached, which can be too much for some families to take on. Find a stroller that can be converted to allow you to take off either one or both child seats as they grow older. Add-ons such as the gliderboard let a third child ride and stand on the car.

Stores

Whichever model of double stroller you pick, they will require some space in your home. Certain models can be put over the walls for an easy access.

The top double strollers give parents a carrying bag that is convenient for traveling with their children. This is particularly useful during travel, since most airlines have strict guidelines on the weight and size of baggage.

Other useful features to look for in a double stroller include large, wide canopy as well as a cup holder for parents as well as pockets in the back of the seats for snacks and keys. Certain strollers also come with another basket under the seat in front that is easily accessible. Our reviewers find this to be very handy. Sit-and-stand strollers on the other hand, are narrow and lightweight, practical grass Mower blades sharpener which makes them more easy to get in and out of cars than most other double strollers.

Safety

Whether you have twins or children who are close to age, a double stroller can be life-saving when you must transport two children at the same time. From narrow tandem strollers to versatile side-by-side buggies, these types of vehicles can help you monitor both children and give them the chance to explore their surroundings together.

Safety features, like five-point harnesses or locks that help your child remain in their seats, are also important. Cavasino advises that if you're children tend to slide off their seats, you should look for a seat with an adjustable seat that is deep enough to hold them securely.

A cushioned seat, adjustable handlebars as well as a height-adjustable seating are among the most important safety features. If you're planning to travel with a double stroller, ensure it's easy to fold so it will fit in your trunk or car.
