Choosing a Double Travel Stroller A double stroller is a godsend for parents who have multiple young children. Choose a lightweight stroller that can be folded down so that it can fit in the trunk of your car or into an overhead bin. Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended seat weight to avoid fatigue of the frame. Other must-haves include adjustable canopies as well as a seating option that is flexible for children of all ages and plenty of storage. Ease of Use Double strollers are often criticized for being heavy and difficult to assemble. However, they've developed a lot since the 1980s. The most effective double strollers are sleek and offer different options for customization to suit your family's needs regardless of whether you're looking to purchase a tandem (single-file seating) or side-by-side configuration. They're also light enough to transport and fit in the trunks of cars as well as onto planes and can be checked at the gate just like other luggage. A stroller that's easy to navigate over a variety of surfaces and fits into small spaces is especially crucial for families living in urban areas, where space is limited and public transportation is the main method of travel. The light and agile double strollers we tested are able to maneuver through busy streets and narrow subway gates. They are essential for urban life. We assess a stroller's ease of use by considering a number of aspects, including how quick and simple the setup and folding process are, and whether it can be adjusted for families with different heights. We also look for a spacious storage bin and reclining seats that are simple to access and adjust and also an extremely high weight limit for the canopy and seat. The Zoe Twin+ was rated top in this category due to its spacious canopy with ample storage space and easy fold. If you're looking for a lightweight stroller that will easily fit into trunks of cars that are small, the Mountain Buggy Nano Duo is an excellent option. It's among the lightest double strollers that we've tested. It also folds into an easy-to-carry, compact package. It's the smallest double umbrella stroller we've tested and is a great option for traveling. Some airlines allow you to gate-check this stroller. A car seat with a side-by-side that can hold two infants is crucial for parents of twins. Some double strollers, such as the Graco DuoGlider Elite, allow you to use both infant car seats at once this saves time and energy by eliminating the need to switch out children. It is also possible to think about a tandem stroller which will allow you to keep both children within sight and in earshot. Comfort If you want to ensure your children are comfortable during walks, a comfortable cushioned seat is vital. Choose a model with an adjustable backrest and a recline feature, and a wide seat area that allows kids to relax or sit up easily. Consider a stroller that has an expansive undercarriage that can hold bags for storage or other things without affecting the positioning of the seats. The weight and size can also impact the performance of a double travel jogger. Choose a model that has solid wheels and suspension that is able to glide smoothly over rough surfaces. A good double stroller can also turn in tight spaces, navigate narrow hallways, crowded subway gates and sidewalks. If you intend to utilize a double stroller often you should choose an option with a quick, one- or two-step fold that can fit into a trunk or compact car. Double strollers are frequently used by parents traveling with their children, particularly in urban areas that are heavily populated and where public transportation is common. This scenario is best served by a streamlined and modular double stroller like the CYBEX Gazelle, which allows parents to mix and blend seats, cots, and car seats to meet changing requirements. A double umbrella stroller is another option. These are usually lighter and smaller than the traditional ones. These are typically great for travelers, as they fold up quickly and easily and are gate-checked on airplanes, and typically comply with Disney's stroller size specifications. Some of them offer plenty of storage space for toys, snacks and other items. A double stroller that is side-by-side is a great option for parents with twins, or siblings that are similar in age. This type of double stroller generally cheaper than a modular one, and the seats usually come with plenty of legroom, recline options, and canopies that provide plenty of coverage. The only downside to a stroller that is side-by-side is that it may be harder to maneuver in narrow spaces or on sidewalks that are crowded, and the wider frame can make it difficult to get through certain doors. Ease of folding The folding ease is the most important factor to consider when choosing a double travel pram. This is particularly important when you need to fold your stroller down the sidewalk in confined spaces. The best strollers come with an easy, simple folding operation with just a few steps. They fold without awkward complications which can cause a bang on parts of the body or sliding. The Babyzen YOYO2 Connect Double and the Evenflo Pivot Xplore Wagon are two of our most favored double travel strollers that fold swiftly and compactly. It's important to consider the length of time you will be using a double-travel stroller. If you are planning to keep your children in the same seats for at least the preschool years, you might consider a side by side design that lets you add an infant car seat or bassinets. Convertible double strollers are a great option if you believe your kids are ready to move into separate seats before that time. The top double strollers in our reviews offer a near-flat recline, which makes it comfortable for your children to sleep or take a break for a snack while out and about. Some strollers have an individual recline for each seat (the front seat on the UPPAbaby Vista Double v2 Double is almost flat while the second one remains upright). This can result in children fighting over which seat they should take a seat in. You'll have to take into account the size of your trunk car, as some double strollers are large and cannot fit in the back of smaller vehicles. This is why we recommend picking a double stroller which is able to fit in your trunk and is easily folded and stored when not in use. We also like double-strollers with a small footprint, low weight, and a simple design. The ZOE Twin+ is one of these. It's the lowest-weight double stroller that we tested, and at just over 19 lbs it's among the lightest strollers that still meet airline gate-check luggage weight limits. It's also Disney-sized-approved! Storage The huge strollers of the 1980s may have given double strollers a bad name, but they have progressed a lot. Nowadays modern, minimalist models can accommodate a wide range of modifications, accommodate children from birth to kindergarten, and are available in side-by-side or tandem (single-file seating) formats. Some models also allow for infant car seats, and some even have an attached riding board. Although you might have to spend more upfront but the investment will pay off in versatility and resale value. A few factors to consider when shopping for a double travel stroller include the weight limit for each seat, storage space, and whether the seats have a recline. A recline that is deep allows for easy napping while on the move and a canopy with UV protection will prevent your child from overheating. Some double strollers offer parent-facing cupholders and dual snack tray for on-the-go convenience. Another aspect to consider is the weight of the stroller, as this will impact your ability to move it around and maneuver it in tight areas. Some of the best lightweight double strollers, like the Kolcraft Cloud Plus, weigh less than 23 pounds and can carry children up to 40lbs. It's lighter than a single stroller, and is easy to carry through airports and in cars. If you're on a tight budget consider looking at used options on sites such as Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, where you can often find gently used double strollers on sale at affordable prices. Find a double stroller that's in good condition and is free of rust or loose screws. Before you purchase a secondhand double-stroller with your kids conduct a thorough examination for any issues, including checking the wheel axles. You can also find strollers available for rental in certain cities, but this isn't a possibility everywhere and can be pricey if you plan to use the stroller often.
