Choosing a Double Travel Stroller

A double stroller can be a lifesaver for parents who are busy with several young children. Find one that is lightweight and folds small enough to fit in the trunk of your car or in an airplane overhead bin.

Do not exceed the recommended weight of the seat to avoid fatigue of the frame. Other must-haves include adjustable canopies as well as a seating option that is flexible for children of various ages and plenty of storage.

Easy of Use

Double strollers are often criticized for being heavy and difficult to construct. However, they've developed a lot since the 1980s. The best double strollers are sleek and come with various customization options to meet the needs of your family regardless of whether you're looking to purchase a tandem (single-file seating) or side-by-side configuration. They're also lightweight and can fit in most car trunks, as well as on the majority of planes.

We consider a variety of aspects when evaluating a stroller for convenience, such as the ease with which it can be fold and set up and fold, as well as if it is able to be adjusted to accommodate family members of different heights. We also look for an ample storage bin, reclining seats with easy access and adjustment, and the weight limit of the seat and canopy. The Zoe Twin+ earned top marks in this category due to its ample storage capacity as well as its huge canopy and quick fold.

The Mountain Buggy Nano Duo stroller is a great choice if you are looking for a lightweight option that is able to fit into small trunks of cars.

Some double strollers, such as the Graco DuoGlider Elite allow you to use two infant car seats at the same time which can save time and energy. You may also want to consider a tandem stroller that lets you to keep your children within earshot and sight.

Comfort

A comfortable, high-quality, padded seat is essential for ensuring your children's comfort on strolls. Choose a model with an adjustable backrest and a recline feature, and a wide seating area that allows kids to relax or sit up easily. Look for a stroller with a spacious undercarriage to accommodate bags for storage or other things without interfering in the position of the seats.

The weight and size can also affect the performance of a double travel jogger's performance. Choose a model that has sturdy wheels and suspension that can easily glide over rough surfaces. A well-constructed double stroller can also be maneuvered in tight spaces, maneuver through narrow hallways and crowded subway gates and sidewalks.

Double strollers are commonly used by parents who travel with children who are small, particularly in urban areas that are heavily populated and where public transportation is a common feature. This situation is ideal for a slimmer double stroller that is modular, such as the CYBEX Gazelle, which allows parents to mix and combine seats, cots, and car seats to meet changing requirements.

Another alternative is a double umbrella stroller, which tends to be lighter and more compact than traditional models. They are ideal for travel as they can be folded up quickly and easily. They can also be gate checked on airplanes, and typically meet Disney stroller requirements for size. Some offer ample onboard storage space for toys, snacks and other equipment.

If you have twins or siblings who are close in age will benefit the most of a side-byside stroller. This kind of double stroller is generally cheaper than a modular one, and its seats generally have ample recline, legroom, and canopy options that offer ample coverage. The only disadvantage of side-by-side strollers is that it can be difficult to maneuver in narrow corridors or in crowded sidewalks and the larger frame can make it difficult to pass through some doorways.

Easy folding

When you are choosing a double travel stroller the most important thing to consider is ease of folding. This is particularly important if you need to fold your stroller in tight spaces or on busy streets with cars and pedestrians nearby. The best strollers come with an easy, simple folding operation with just a few steps. They fold without awkward complications that result in banging body parts or sliding. The Babyzen YOYO2 Connect Double and the Evenflo PivotXplore Wagon are among our top double travel strollers that fold quickly and compactly.

When you're looking for a double stroller, be sure to consider how long you plan to use it for. If you are planning to keep your children in the same seat for at least the preschool years, you might consider a side-by-side model that lets you add an infant car seat or bassinets. If you think your kids are ready to move to separate seats prior to an double stroller that converts to a convertible is a good option.


A few of the top double strollers that we have reviewed have a recline that is nearly flat that makes it easy for your children to sleep or take a snack break while on the go. However, some products have an individual recline for each seat (the front seat on the UPPAbaby Vista Double v2 Double reclines almost to the floor and 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, as some double strollers are somewhat bulky and don't fit in the back of smaller cars. We recommend selecting a double stroller that can fit comfortably in your trunk and can be easily folded and stored when not in use. We also like double strollers that feature a small, light footprint with a light weight and a simple design, such as the ZOE Twin+. It is the smallest double stroller we've test. At just over 19 lbs it's one the lightest strollers and still fit within the airline gate check baggage weight limits. It's Disney-sized-approved!

Storage

The huge vintage strollers of the 1980s might have caused double strollers to get an unpopular image, but they've evolved a great deal. Modern, sleek, and modular strollers are available in tandem or side-by-side formats. They can be tailored to fit children from birth to kindergarten. They also have infant car seats and an attachable riding board. While you may need to invest more up front, the investment can pay off in versatility and the resale value.

When choosing a double stroller, you should consider the weight limit of each seat, the storage space available and whether or not each seat reclines. A deep recline is great for naps on the go and a canopy that offers UV protection can help keep kids from overheating in the sun. double pram and pushchair offer parents-facing cupholders as well as dual snack trays for mobile convenience.

Another thing to consider is how much the stroller weighs and how much it weighs, as this can affect your ability to lug it around and maneuver it through tight spaces. Some of the best strollers that are lightweight, like 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're on an extremely tight budget, you might consider looking at double strollers on websites such as Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. These websites often have gently used double strollers for sale at affordable prices. Double strollers in good shape are free of loose screws and rust. Once you've got an old double stroller, ensure that you conduct a thorough inspection, including inspecting the axles of the wheels for damage, before using it with your kids. Some cities rent strollers, but this isn't the case everywhere. It could be costly if you plan to use the stroller frequently.
