Choosing a Double Travel Stroller

A double stroller can be a lifesaver if you have multiple children. Choose a lightweight stroller that can fold down so that it can fit in the trunk of your car or into an overhead bin.

Check the manufacturer's seat weight guidelines, and be sure to not exceed them to avoid frame fatigue. Other essentials include a variety of seating arrangements for kids of varying age, aprons that can be adjusted and plenty of storage.

Easy of Use

Double strollers are often criticized as being heavy and difficult to assemble. However, they've come a long ways since the 1980s. The best double strollers have sleek designs and can be tailored to meet your family's specific requirements, whether that's a tandem (single seat in the file) or a side-by-side configuration. They're also lightweight and fit into most trunks of cars and on many planes.

A stroller that's easy to maneuver across various surfaces and fits into small spaces is important for families who live in urban areas, where space is limited and public transportation is the primary mode of getting around. The light and agile double strollers that we test can navigate the crowded sidewalks and narrow subway gates, making them indispensable for busy city life.

The ease of use by considering a number of factors, such as how fast and simple the setup and folding process is, and if it can be adjusted for families with different heights. We also look for a large storage bin, reclining seats that have easy access and adjustment, as well as the maximum weight limit for the seat and canopy. The Zoe Twin+ was rated highest in this category due to its spacious canopy with ample storage space and quick fold.

If you're looking for a lightweight stroller that can easily fit into car trunks that are small the Mountain Buggy Nano Duo is an excellent choice. It's one the lightest double strollers that we've ever tested. It folds down into an easy-to-carry, compact package. It's also the smallest double umbrella stroller we've tested, which makes it a great option for travel. It can even be gate-checked with some airlines.

For parents with twins, a side-by-side stroller that supports two infant car seats is essential. Some double strollers, such as the Graco DuoGlider Elite allow you to use two infant car seats at the same time, saving time and energy. You might also look into a tandem stroller which allows you to keep both kids within sight and earshot.

Comfort

If you want to make sure your children are safe during strolls, a high-quality cushioned seat is vital. You should look for a stroller that has a reclining backrest, adjustable backrest and a wide seat that allows your child to sit up or stretch out. Consider a stroller that has an expansive undercarriage that can hold storage bags or other items without interfering in the position of the seats.

The weight and size could also influence the performance of the double stroller with infant car seat travel jogger. Look for a model with solid suspension and wheels that can easily glide over rough surfaces. A well-constructed double stroller can also navigate tight spaces, maneuver through narrow corridors and busy subway gates. If you plan to use a double stroller often, choose a model that folds quickly in a matter of a few steps and fits in your trunk or compact vehicle.

Parents traveling with young children typically rely on a double stroller for getting them around, particularly in densely populated urban areas where space is the limit and public transportation is common. This situation is best served by a streamlined, modular double-stroller such as the CYBEX Gazelle that allows parents to mix and match seats, cots, and car seats to accommodate changing needs.

Another alternative is a double umbrella stroller which tends to be lighter and more compact than traditional models. These are typically great for travelers, as they fold up quickly and easily, can be gate checked on airplanes, and often meet Disney's stroller size requirements. Many of them have ample storage space for toys, snacks and other items.

A side-byside double stroller is a great option for parents with twins or siblings who are close in age. This type of double stroller generally cheaper than a modular model, and its seats generally offer plenty of legroom, recline options, and canopies that provide ample coverage. A side-by-side double stroller has one drawback, and that is that it can be difficult to navigate through narrow hallways and crowded sidewalks. Its larger frame can make it more difficult to pass through certain doorways.

Easy folding

The ease of folding is the most important factor to consider when choosing a double travel pram. This is especially important if you need to fold your stroller in small spaces or on streets with cars and pedestrians close by. The top strollers fold in just the simplest of steps that are easy and simple. They also fold without any awkward issues that result in banging parts of the body or sliding. The Babyzen YOYO2 Connect Double and the Evenflo PivotXplore are some of our favorite double strollers that fold swiftly and compactly.

When you're looking for a double travel stroller, you should take into consideration how long you'll be able to use it for. If you're planning on keeping your children in the same seats until they're at least the age of preschool, then you may want to consider an option that is side-by-side with the option of adding infant car seats or bassinets. If you believe your children will be ready to transition to separate seats prior to an double stroller that converts to a convertible is worth considering.

Some of the top double-strollers we reviewed offer a flat recline. This makes it easier for your children to nap or eat their snacks while on the move. Some strollers have distinct reclines for each seat (the front seat of the UPPAbaby Vista Double v2 Double is almost flat while the second one remains nearly upright). This can lead to kids fighting over which seat to take a seat in.

You'll also need to think about the size of your car's trunk, as some double strollers can be quite bulky and will not fit in the back of cars with smaller trunks. We recommend selecting a double stroller that fits well in your trunk and can be easily folded and stored away when not in use. We also recommend double strollers with tiny footprints, low weight, and a simple design. The ZOE twin strollers for newborns+ is one of these. It's the lowest-weight double stroller that we test, and with just over 19 pounds it's among the lightest strollers that can still meet airline gate-check luggage weight limits--it's Disney-size approved!

Storage

Double strollers might have earned negative reviews from the huge, oversized versions of the 1980s that many of the millennials of the past remember but they've come quite far. Modern, sleek, and modular strollers are available in tandem or side-by-side designs. They can be adapted to accommodate children from birth to kindergarten. Some also support infant car seats and a riding board that can be attached. It is possible to pay more initially, but the investment will pay off through versatility and resale.

Some of the things to take into consideration when looking for a double stroller include the weight limit for each seat, storage space, and whether each seat has recline. A recline that is deep can allow for easy naps on the move and a canopy that has UV protection will help keep your child from overheating. Some double strollers have cup holders for parents, as well as dual snack trays to make it easier for parents on the go.

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 in tight spaces. Some of the most lightweight double strollers, such as the Kolcraft Cloud Plus, weigh less than 23 lbs and can carry children up to 40 lbs. It's a little lighter than the average single stroller and is easy enough to schlep through airports, through overhead bins and into cars.

If you're looking to save money consider looking at the used options available on sites like Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, which often have gently-used double strollers for sale at affordable prices. Double strollers in good condition are free of loose screws and rust. If you've purchased a second-hand double stroller make sure you perform a thorough inspection, including looking over the wheel axles for damage before using it with your children. Some cities rent strollers, but this option is not available everywhere. It could also be expensive if you plan to use the stroller often.
