How Easy Is It to Push and Fold a Double pushchair stroller?

A good double stroller will help you move around regardless of whether you're walking your toddler or jogging with your twins. However, finding one that is easy to push and fold is essential.

Our Lab experts recommend side by side models that feature equal recline, ample storage space and car seat adapters to fit infants.

Seating

Seating options are important when shopping for a double-stroller. You may want to consider a tandem stroller that lets one child stand while the other sits, or a side by tandem option that lets your children sit together.

The seating configuration also impacts your comfort when you walk through busy streets and sidewalks. Find strollers that have reclined chairs with footrests that recline, as well as large canopy covers to provide shade for the two passengers. Beware of hanging bags from handlebars as they could alter the stroller's center of gravity, causing it to tip over.

A high-quality double stroller will include handy storage space for your essentials, too. Look for storage compartments on the seat backs or underneath the seats to keep toys, snacks and other items in a convenient place. You can also make use of organizer bags and consoles for parents that attach to the handles of the car to keep essentials handy during walks or outings.

A side-by-side stroller is the ideal choice for parents who have children of similar ages. They are usually more stable and provide better visibility for both of the passengers than stacking strollers. Some options accept two infant car seat, allowing you take your sleepy children from the car to the pram set without disturbing them.

Sit-and-stand strollers are a great option for parents with older children who don't mind their kids sitting on their own and prefer some independence. They can also permit the larger child to go with the front. This kind of double-stroller is not compatible with newborns and could require more maintenance over the course of time. However, it can be a great option for active families that need the versatility of a stroller that converts into a two-kid model.

The top double strollers will be sturdy and maneuverable even in muddy terrain or narrow spaces. They're also lightweight and fold up for compact storage in your trunk or garage making them easy to transport and manage when traveling. They are also built to last and meet the safety standards of the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP).

Canopy

A canopy protects both passengers from the sun, and some models also come with the option of a visor that can further protect children's faces. Models with huge shades like the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double earned our top marks for their canopy options. They both offer plenty of coverage and cover children from head to knee, however, inline models tend to skimp on shade or provide a single canopy that only covers one seat, which can be difficult for siblings who need different levels of protection.

Most of our top-rated canopys fit onto strollers easily. Be sure to verify the dimensions of the model before you buy, as some canopies might require additional space in the basket for full extension, and to prevent hitting the handles when they're folded.

Some parents prefer a double stroller that comes with a bassinet and car seat adapters, as well as other accessories to give them more options later on. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double, for instance, comes with a toddler seat as well as an additional RumbleSeat. This makes it a great option for families with twins or small children and require transportation simultaneously. This stroller can also be used in an innovative sit-and-stand design for older kids who prefer to ride on their own.

Other accessories that can make your stroller more functional include parent consoles or organizer bags, which help keep your essentials in reach. They are especially useful for strollers that don't get used often or when you want to keep snacks and toys away from prying eyes. Some of these accessories are secured by snaps or straps that makes it simple to remove them when ready for the stroller to be used again.

If you are looking for a double stroller that can be transformed into a toddler stroller, with the option of a bench or glider seat it is the stroller to choose. Both the Graco Travel System RoomFor2 and UPPAbaby's Vista Duallie feature a bassinet that is compatible with car seats, a toddler seat as well as a RumbleSeat. Both are able to be expanded into a triple stroller with the addition of a running board, which is ideal for families that have an active child who is in motion.

Wheels

The type of wheels used on the stroller makes a big difference in how easy or difficult it is to push. In general, larger wheels are more maneuverable and can handle more terrain. The material used to make the wheels also affects how easy or difficult they are to push. Rubber wheels are more durable than plastic ones and are able to withstand rougher surfaces.

Stroller wheels come in different styles, sizes, and materials to meet a range of requirements and environments. For instance, swivel wheel can aid in maneuvering narrow spaces and make tight turns. Fixed wheels are more stable and suitable for smooth surfaces. If you are planning to use your stroller on rough terrain or off-road air-filled tires are a better option than the standard rubber tires. These tires are similar in design to bicycle tires and can absorb shocks, making for more comfortable riding.

Side-by-side double strollers are much larger than tandem strollers and are difficult to squeeze through narrow doors or aisles of stores. But they give your children the same amount of space and let them stretch out their legs. They're usually also easier to steer and maneuver than tandem strollers.

If you intend to use your stroller to run or bike consider double joggers with all-terrain or jogging tires. These are thicker, larger and come with sealed ball bearings that provide a smoother ride over uneven surfaces. Some models, like the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller, are compatible with car seats, which allow you to jog with your children safely strapped to their car seats.

Other all-terrain/jogging strollers like the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X allow an additional child in the front, but are too heavy to qualify as umbrella doubles. And in our testing, the restraint buckles on this model were among the hardest to fasten, which can be a problem when you're trying to get two children in the stroller at the same time. This stroller is pricey, costing hundreds more than our top single-to tandem pick, but it offers top-quality materials and a good return value.

Storage

A great double stroller must offer plenty of storage space for both children and parents. Insufficient storage space can make it hard for a parent facing pushchair to complete errands or take all the necessary equipment to enjoy a trip with two children. In our Lab tests, the UPPAbaby double scored very well on this measurement. It comes with a large and easy-to-access storage basket that can accommodate up to 30 pounds.

Strollers with pockets or Folding stroller compartments that are multiple can aid families in keeping track of small items, such as phones, keys, and wallets. Additionally, a parent console or organizer bag that is attached to the handlebars can be a handy space for dads and moms to keep their personal belongings when out with the kids.

The UPPAbaby Vista has an enormous basket that can carry two car seats for infants. (Not both bassinets, however.) It also has a telescoping bar and brakes that are simple to use. It also comes with one of the highest capacity seat weight ratings in our range, as well as it folds easily into most door frames.

Our test participants also discovered that the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite wagon has a great adjustable bar, which is perfect for parents with different heights. The wagon comes with two UV screens that fold up to ensure complete sun protection, and its cup holders and snack tray can be used to hold different bottles for children and snacks.

A big challenge for any stroller is how to fold it up and then get it back into shape after use, especially when you're carrying a toddler and an infant in tow. That's why it's important to choose a stroller with a smooth and user-friendly fold. Both the UPPAbaby Vista v2 stroller and Evenflo Pivot Xpand have a single-handed, simple-to-use mechanism that allows parents to fold their strollers quickly and efficiently, no matter the configuration they're using.

Double strollers can be an investment that's expensive, but parents who plan to use it for several years will be paying more than single strollers. It is also important to determine if the stroller is able to be disassembled for storage and transport. This is essential when you have a limited space in your home or vehicle.
