Our testers looked at strollers that provide excellent flexibility and smooth rides on any terrain.  twin buggy  inspected whether the strollers were easy to fold and maneuver.

Size

There are a variety of styles of double strollers on market, ranging from side-by-side to tandem (single-file seating) and wagons. The category has changed from the classic 1980s models that older millennials may be familiar with. Nowadays, they are sleek and come with a range of features that make travelling with children more enjoyable for all.

For parents of toddlers or infants, a double stroller and car seat is a great option for bringing them from one point to B. Some of the most modern strollers have a single frame which can accommodate two infant car seat or convertible toddler seats. This lets them be used by children as young as until they reach the age of kindergarten. They are generally more expensive than double stroller frames but offer an integrated car seat system and an enormous undercarriage basket.

Parents with fewer children could opt for a single-to double-stroller, which is more simple and less expensive. These frames are usually lighter, and some moms still utilize their original stroller after their children have outgrown it.

Another excellent feature of a few of the smallest double strollers we've tried is their compact fold. They can fit in places that larger strollers can't and are often more maneuverable once folded.

Most of the double strollers that we tested had a decent sunshade. However, the amount of shade coverage can vary from a bare spot to the size of a cocoon. For families with a tight budget you should look into secondhand strollers on sites like Facebook Marketplace to see if there's an option that fits your family's needs. Just be sure to examine any used stroller carefully for signs of wear and tear prior to making a decision to purchase one.

Weight

It may also not have a an expansive canopy or other features that would make the stroller more convenient to use for long trips.

Strollers with cushioned seatbacks and adjustable leg rests earn higher marks in our comfort tests than those without.

Innovative designs and thoughtful features make strollers that can be used in a variety of ways more popular than ever. Some of the most effective options are able to accommodate multiple car seat configurations and offer a wide range of seating options from birth to preschool years. Some are so light they can be used for jogging or traveling.

When selecting a compact double-stroller it is crucial to consider whether the stroller can be pushed through narrow doors and other spaces. The older models of tandem strollers and side-by-side walkers are often too large to pass through the majority of doors. The best small double strollers tend to be narrower than standard models and can be pushed right into doors of all sizes with ease.

Another thing to think about is whether you'll need an additional feature on your stroller like a cup holder or snack tray. These are useful for longer trips, but they add to the total weight and cost of a double stroller.

Folding

A double stroller may be expensive, but it's an investment that pays off in the long term. A quality model that suits your family's needs will simplify the process of traveling with kids. It will also provide you and your children with a lifetime of comfort.

This lightweight, affordable stroller is easy to fold and can be carried with only one hand.

"Strollers that are too heavy could lead to frame fatigue and injuries," she says. "If your stroller is heavy and difficult to push, you might consider adding a ride-along board or reducing the number of children in the seat."

Some double strollers that we tested can accommodate multiple infant car seats. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double, for instance, can hold two toddler or infant seats at a time, and can be converted to three seats using the RumbleSeat add-on. It also comes with a fashionable inline design, with foam-filled tires that can't go flat and a telescoping handlebar that can be adjusted. The seat buckles are among the most simple to fasten and unfasten and its UPF 50+ sunshades have peekaboo windows.

These models also come with easy-to use brakes and a compact fold that fits into most trunks. Some are even light enough to schlep up and down steps. The majority of them require little assembly. The Joovy Caboose, however, requires a few tools and was among the most difficult build in our tests.

The top double strollers have numerous safety features, such as adjustable handlebars for a comfortable grip and a broad base that won't tip over when the children get out of their seats. The canopy is large enough to accommodate both kids during rainstorms. They're also very easy to use, according to Alli Cavasino, a certified child passenger safety technician. "Look for a oneor two-step fold that is easily carried and has a clear, easy location to put the straps," she advises.

The most double strollers that are compact can fit through doors with ease, which is a huge advantage if you have the space of a small car or living space. The smallest models weigh less than normal double strollers. This makes them easier to carry from one location to the next.

Parents with children of similar ages may prefer a side by side stroller like our top choice for the Joovy Kooper X2, that features two child seats that can be individually adjusted to recline and width. In our tests the seats, we found them to be very comfortable and recline to be simple and easy with just a single lever on each seat. It also comes with a large storage basket, a one-step linked parking brake (to reduce hand fatigue when stopping) and some of the best harnesses we have tested.
