Safety

If you're running around town, going to the zoo, or heading out trick-or-treating with your kids stroller must be safe. It should have an sturdy frame and comfortable harnesses for kids who sit down, as well as easy-to-grab handles for toddlers who stand. It should also be able to pass through doors, be simple to fold and move and be simple to maneuver. It should also be reasonably priced.

Each double stroller we tested went through rigorous testing in our laboratory, at the zoo and on streets in cities. We also took them for family outings in suburban neighborhoods. Our lab tests evaluate the stroller's maneuverability, stability, and ease of steering. We also test the comfort of the suspension for both the driver as well as the rider and the capacity for weight, seat canopy heights, as well as the storage space.

In addition to the regular safety checks conducted by our team of stroller experts We also request parents to give feedback on their experiences with each model. Then, we take all this information into consideration when forming our recommendations.

If you're looking for a safe stroller that is high-quality, then start with our top choices. These strollers can be used in multiple seating options for infant car seats, can be used as an individual stroller or in tandem, and are suitable for children ranging from birth to elementary school.

The best double strollers will evolve with your family. They're stylish and sleek and offer a variety of options for customization and can accommodate infants as well as toddlers with side-byside seating or tandem (single file) seating. Some also have a large storage basket as well as a handlebar that could be telescopically adjusted, and one-handed folding mechanisms.

Consider a tandem stroller with benches in the back for a third child if you have twins or a child who is similar in age. They're a great choice for siblings who want to get involved but aren't in a position to sit close to one another in a stroller with a side-byside feature, where they could end with fighting or arguing. There are also convertible models that allow you to take off the bench seat when your children are ready for an excursion without a car seat.

Comfort

The best double strollers feature comfortable child seats that are well-padded and bolstered. The best double strollers have plenty of storage space, large legs and footwells for kids, and a UPF 50+ canopy which provides excellent sun protection. Seats should recline at an angle to ensure that children are comfortable. They should also come with adjustable calf bars that allow parents to independently adjust the seat. Alli Cavasino is a certified child safety technician. She says that the handlebars should be ergonomic and easy to maneuver. The handlebars must be close enough to the kiddos seats that you are able to reach them and hold onto them. If the handlebars on the stroller are too far apart, it will be difficult to maintain your balance and good form when pushing them.

The ride should be smooth, even on rough or uneven surfaces. Some of the models we tested include shock absorbers to keep the ride stable. Some models have front and back suspension that improves control and reduces the force required to push them. The wheels must have a sturdy tread and be made from premium rubber.

We looked for the most flexible double strollers that can be used from birth until toddlerhood and beyond. Some of the double strollers that we found can be converted to tandem or side-by-side strollers. One of them is the Uppababy Vista V2, can even be converted to a single-file infant stroller. The model is three times more than our main tandem model, but it's of higher quality and should last longer because of its durable materials.

The most comfortable double strollers are light and movable enough for long walks, errands and trips to the park or zoo. They're typically wider than single strollers, so they might not be able to be able to pass through narrow doors or store aisles that are crowded. Some are also priced more than their single-seat counterparts however, it's logical considering that you're getting a greater value for your budget. The models we recommend are safe for kids and adults alike and will continue to expand with your family.

Convenience

If you're going to spend the money to buy a double stroller, you'll need one that's easy to move and put away. Ideally, the stroller will be light and easy to store in the trunk of your car or in the space at home. It should be able to maneuver rough terrain and make tight turns. Some of the best double-strollers come with adjustable calf supports, as well as seats that recline. They also provide UPF sun protection. The canopy should be big enough to accommodate two children. If you're concerned about the sun's rays getting into their eyes, opt for one with a peek-a-boo window.

The stage and age of your children will determine the kind of stroller you'll require. For instance, parents of twins might choose a convertible stroller that holds two infant car seats at the same time, while a family with an older child and a toddler may prefer a side-byside double. You'll also need to decide whether you'd like a stroller that fits through narrow doorways or crowded aisles in grocery stores and can be used on airplanes.

In our Lab tests, we found that the  best double strollers  are reasonably easy to fold and carry. The majority of double strollers fold in one or two steps and are compact enough to fit into most compact cars. They are also designed to be stable and easy to reassemble.

Some of the best double strollers come with practical features for parents, such as a one-parent cup holder and a spacious storage basket. Consider whether the stroller comes with a lock for the front seat to stop your child from climbing out. Some strollers come with an adapter for car seats and can be converted to one seat as your child develops.

Some of the top double strollers can be pricey, but they have a better build quality and have higher resales values than lower-end models. They are also easier to maneuver and can withstand rough terrain like city walkways or park trails.

Style

If parents are in the market for a double-stroller they're looking for much more than a way to carry their two children. They want a light, maneuverable stroller with ample storage on the board and thoughtful features to adapt to the changing needs of children. It should also be easy for them to push and navigate. Since they'll likely to carry more weight than their peers, the stroller should also be comfortable on the back and shoulders.

The top double strollers are sleek and offer various customization options. They can also be able to accommodate infant car seats to provide the smooth transition from baby to toddler. They're available in side by side or tandem (single-file seating) formats and can even be light enough for jogging or travel.

In addition to size one of the most important factors to consider for parents looking for a double stroller is whether or not it will fit through doorways or other small spaces. Fortunately, the majority of models we tested in our most recent update can clear the standard doors for exterior use that are 36 inches wide, and the majority of them can fit inside doors that range from 28 to 35 inches wide.

When evaluating the top double strollers, we also look at how easily they fold and unfold. We also look at how well-padded the seats and canopy are. In addition, we take a look at how comfortable the straps and buckles are for seated children and how easy to access and adjust the height of the handlebar.

For instance our top choice one, the Uppababy Vista V2, is lightweight and has ample onboard storage for both children. It comes with a parent cup holder, seats that recline independently, and a large UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that can be peekaboo. The straps and buckles are cushioned and among the most comfortable that we have tested. We also found it to be the easiest seat for children to fasten.
