Safety

Whether you're running through the zoo, running errands, or heading out trick-or-treating with your kids your stroller should be safe. It's important to have a sturdy frame as well as comfortable harnesses that are easy to grab handle for toddlers. It should also be able to fit through doors, simple to fold and move, and be easy to maneuver. It should also be reasonably priced.

We put every double stroller we reviewed through rigorous testing in our lab, at the Zoo, on city streets, and on family outings in suburban neighborhoods. Our lab tests assess a stroller's maneuverability and stability in steering, ease of handling, suspension comfort for the rider and the driver, weight capacity, seat canopy heights, and storage space.

We ask parents to provide feedback on each model, in addition to the routine safety check carried out by our team. We then take all this information into consideration when making our recommendations.

Start with our top picks to help you find a stroller that is secure and durable. These strollers are incredibly versatile and can be used as infant car seats. They come in tandem or single Double stroller stroller designs, and are suitable for children aged from birth to elementary school.

The best double strollers are designed to adapt to your growing family. They are sleek and stylish with a variety of options for customization and can accommodate infants and toddlers with side-byside seating or tandem (single file) seating. Some also have an enormous storage basket, a handlebar that can be telescopically adjusted, as well as one-handed fold mechanisms.

Consider a tandem stroller that comes with benches at the back to accommodate a third child if you have twins or a child of similar age. These strollers are great for siblings who would like to be together, but may not be able to sit side-by-side in a standard stroller. They could get into a fight or argue. There are also convertible models that permit you to remove the bench seat once your children are ready to go for a ride without using a car seat.

Comfort

The best double strollers feature comfortable child seats that are well-padded and supported. They also have plenty of storage space, spacious footwells for kids' feet and legroom and UPF 50+ canopy that provide great sun protection. The seats should recline at a slight angle to ensure children are comfortable, and they should have calf bars that permit parents to adjust the height of each seat independently. Alli Cavasino is a certified child safety technician. She suggests that the handlebars should be ergonomic and easy-to-maneuver. The handlebars must be close enough to the children's seats that you are able to reach them and grasp them. If the handlebars are too spread out, you'll have a hard time keeping your balance and retaining good form when pushing them.

The ride should be smooth on rough or hard surfaces. Some of the models we tested had shock absorbers to ensure that the ride is stable. Some models have front and back suspensions which enhances control and reduces the force needed to push them. The wheels should be constructed of high-quality rubber with sturdy tread that is able to withstand plenty of wear and tear.

We scoured the internet for the most versatile double strollers that could be used from the age of infancy to toddlerhood. A couple of the ones we found can be configured as tandem strollers or side-byside and one is the Uppababy Vista v2, can even be transformed into a single-file stroller suitable for infants. That model costs three times more than our primary tandem pick however, it's also of higher quality and should last longer due to its robust materials.

The best double strollers are lightweight and easy to maneuver for long walks, errands and trips to the park or zoo. The double pushchairs strollers are usually larger than single and double stroller strollers and may not fit into narrow doorways or store aisles.

The models we recommend are comfortable for both adults and kids, and they'll expand with your family.

Convenience

It should also be able traverse rough terrain and make tight turns. Some of the top double-strollers have adjustable calf support and seats that recline. They also provide UPF sun protection. The canopy should be large enough to accommodate two children. If you're worried about the sun glaring into their eyes, opt for one with a peek-a-boo window.

The stage and age of your children will determine what type stroller you need. For example, parents of twins might choose a convertible stroller that can hold two infant car seats at the same time or families with an older child and a toddler might prefer a side-by-side double. You'll need to decide if you'd like a stroller which can fit through narrow doors and aisles of grocery stores or on planes.

In our Lab tests, we found that the top double strollers are fairly easy to fold and carry. Most double strollers fold in a matter of one or two steps, and are compact enough to fit into most compact cars. They are also designed to be stable which makes them easier to assemble.

Parents shopping for a double stroller are looking for more than just a way to transport two kids.

Other factors we look at when reviewing the best double strollers are how quickly and easily they fold and unfold, how big the cargo basket is, how padded the seats are, and how adjustable the canopies are.
