Buying a Small Double Stroller

Double strollers are an investment that will be used for many years. That's why you need to choose carefully.

Our test participants looked at strollers that have incredible flexibility and smooth rides on any terrain. They also checked whether the models were easy to fold and maneuver.

There are a variety of double strollers available on the market, from side-by-side to tandem (single-file seating) and wagons. The category has changed from the classic 1980s designs that older millennials may be familiar with. Today, they are modern and sleek, with a variety of customizations that make traveling with kids more enjoyable for all.

For parents who have infants or toddlers in tow, double strollers that include a car seat can be incredibly useful for taking them from A B. Some of the most advanced strollers on the market have frames that can accommodate two infant car seats or convertible toddler seats allowing them to be used from birth up until kids reach the age of kindergarten. They are generally more expensive than a standard double buggy with car seat stroller frame, but they also provide the convenience of an integrated car seat system as well as an ample undercarriage basket that can accommodate both car seats.

Parents with fewer children may opt for a single-to-double stroller that is simpler and less expensive. These types of frames are typically lighter in weight, and a few moms have even told us they're still using their old stroller after their children outgrew it.
