Our newest team member, Kerry, got her stroller testing feet wet with this expandable model that lets you to alter the seating configuration to suit different requirements.

Safety

When you're doing around town, going to the zoo or going out for trick-or-treating with your kids stroller must be secure. It's important to have a sturdy frame, comfortable harnesses and easy-to-grab handles for toddlers. It must also be able to fit through doors and be easy to maneuver and fold. It should also be reasonably priced.

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

In addition to the routine security checks carried out by our team of stroller experts We also request parents to give feedback on their experiences with each model. We then take into account all of this information when making recommendations.

If you're looking for a safe, high-quality stroller, start with our top choices. These strollers are versatile and can be used for infant car seats. They're available in tandem or single stroller models, and are suitable for children aged from birth to elementary school.

The best double strollers are made to adapt to the needs of your family. They're stylish and sleek and can accommodate various customization options, and can accommodate both toddlers and infants in side-by-side or tandem (single-file) seating designs. Many also have a large storage basket, a telescoping handlebar, and one-handed folding mechanisms.

Consider a tandem stroller that has 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 interact with each other, but may not be capable of sitting next to each other in a stroller that is side-by-side and end with fighting or arguing. You can also find convertible models that allow you to remove the bench seat for your child when they are at the point of riding without the car seat.

Comfort

The best double buggy for twins strollers have comfortable child seats with plenty of padding and support. The best double strollers have plenty of storage space, large legroom and footwells for children, and UPF 50+ canopy which provides fantastic sun protection. The seats should recline at an angle to keep children at ease, and they should have calf bars that allow parents to alter the position of each seat individually. Alli Cavasino is a certified child safety technician. She suggests that the handlebars must be ergonomic and easy-to-maneuver. The handlebars need to be close enough to the seat of your child that you can grasp them and hold them. If the handlebars are too separated and you'll have a tough time keeping your balance and retaining good form when pushing them.

The ride should be smooth even on rough or rocky surfaces. Some of the models we tested include shock absorbers to keep the ride stable. Others have front and rear suspension, which reduce the amount of force you need to push them and improve your control over them. The wheels must have a long-lasting tread and made of high-quality rubber.

We looked for the most versatile double strollers that could be used from birth until toddlerhood and beyond. Some of the double strollers we came across can be converted to tandem strollers or side-byside strollers. One of them is the Uppababy Vista V2, can even be converted to an infant stroller with a single file. This model is three times more costly as our top tandem option however, its materials are more durable and it will last longer.

The best double strollers are light and movable enough for long walks, errands, and trips to the zoo or park. The pushchair double strollers are usually wider than single strollers and can be difficult to fit into narrow doorways or store aisles. Some of them cost more than single-seaters. This is normal since you get a lot more for your budget. The models we recommend are suitable for both adults and kids and will expand with your family.

Convenience

If you're planning to spend money on a double stroller, it must be easy to carry and store. Ideally, the stroller will be light and compact enough to fit into the trunk of your car or the space at home. It should be able to navigate rough terrain and take precise turns. Some of the top double strollers come with adjustable calf support, as well as seats that recline and provide UPF sun protection. The canopy should be big enough to fit two children. If you're worried about the sun getting in their eyes, go for a stroller with a peek-a-boo window.

The stage and age of your children will determine what type stroller you require. For example, parents of twins might choose a convertible stroller that holds two infant car seats at once or families with an older child and a toddler may prefer a double that is side-by-side. It is also important to determine whether you'd like a stroller that fits through narrow entrances or aisles of the grocery store and can be used on planes.

In our Lab tests, we found that the top double strollers are reasonably easy to fold and carry. Most double strollers fold in one or two steps and are small enough to fit into most compact cars. They are also designed to be sturdy which makes them easier to put back together.

Some of the top double strollers feature convenient parent features that include a single parent cup holder as well as a large storage basket. Consider whether the stroller comes with a lock for the front seat, to prevent your child from climbing out. Some strollers come with an adapter for car seats that can be converted into a single seat as your child develops.

The cost of some of the most expensive double strollers (additional reading) can be a bit steep, but they typically have better build quality and resale value than cheaper models. They are also easier to maneuver and can handle rough terrain such as city walkways or park trails.

Style

When parents are shopping for a double-stroller they're looking for more than a way to transport their two children. They want a lightweight stroller that is easy to maneuver and has enough storage to expand with their children. Because they will be carrying more than children, the stroller needs to be easy on their backs and shoulders.

This is why the best double strollers are sleek and offer a variety of options for customization, and accommodate infant car seats to ensure an easy transition from baby to toddler. They come in tandem (single-file seating) as well as side-by-side. They are even light enough for jogging.

In addition to the size parents should also think about whether the double stroller can be able to pass through doorways or other tight spaces. Luckily, the majority of strollers we tested in our latest update can pass through standard exterior doors that are 36 inches wide. The the majority of them can fit inside doors that measure 28 to 35 inches wide.

Other aspects we take into consideration when evaluating the top double strollers is how quickly and easily they fold and unfold, the size the cargo basket is, how comfortable the seats are, and how flexible the canopy are. We also think about how comfortable the seat straps and buckles are for children sitting in the stroller, as well as how easy it would be to adjust the height of the handlebars.

Our top selection, Uppababy Vista V2, for instance, is light and offers ample storage space for both children. It has a cup for parents seat that reclines independently, and a large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. Its cushioned seat straps and buckles are among the most comfortable in our tests, and we found the seat to be one of the easiest to secure for children of all different ages.

If you're not ready to purchase a double stroller, Facebook Marketplace and other secondhand-goods sites can often offer good-condition used options for reasonable prices. Make sure to do your research before committing, scanning for indications of damage and checking for recalls.
