Choosing a Double Travel Stroller

A double stroller is a godsend for parents who have multiple young children. Choose one that's light and folds down small enough to fit into the trunk of your car or an overhead bin of an airplane.

Check the manufacturer's seat weight recommendations, and be sure to not exceed them to avoid frame fatigue. Other essentials include flexible seating arrangements for kids of varying age groups, adjustable canopy and plenty of storage.

User-Friendliness

Double strollers are often given an undeserved reputation because they're heavy and difficult to assemble however, this type of strollers has advanced from the behemoth vintage models of the 1980s. The top double strollers are sleek and offer a range of customizations to suit your family's needs, whether you're looking for a tandem (single-file seating) or a side-byside configuration. They're also light and can fit in most car trunks and on most planes.

A stroller that's easy to navigate across a variety of terrains and fit into tight spaces is particularly crucial for families living in urban environments, where space is limited and public transportation is the main mode of getting around.

The ease of use by considering various factors, such as how fast and intuitive the setup and folding process are, and whether it is able to be adjusted to accommodate families with different heights. We also look for a large storage bin, reclining seats with easy access and adjustment, and the maximum weight limit for the seat and canopy. The Zoe Twin+ earned top scores in this category due to its ample storage capacity, super-sized canopies, and easy folding.

If you're looking for a light stroller that will easily fit into small car trunks The Mountain Buggy Nano Duo is an excellent option. It's one of the lightest double strollers we've tested and folds into smaller size, making it easy to carry up and down stairs than other models. It's also the tiniest double umbrella stroller we've tested which makes it an excellent option for travel. It can even be gate-checked with certain airlines.

For parents of twins, a side-by-side stroller that supports two infant car seats is crucial. Some double strollers like the Graco DuoGlider Elite allow you to use two infant car seats at the same time to save time and energy. It is also possible to look into a tandem stroller which allows you to keep both children within sight and in earshot.

Comfort

A comfortable, high-quality, padded seat is essential for ensuring your children's comfort during strolls. It is recommended to choose a stroller that has a reclining backrest, adjustable backrest, and a large seat area to allow your child to sit up or stretch out. For extra comfort, think about a stroller with a large undercarriage that is able to accommodate storage bags and other items without affecting the seats' position.

The weight and size of a double stroller can also affect its performance. Make sure you choose a model with sturdy wheels and suspension to effortlessly glide over rough surfaces.

Another option is a double umbrella stroller, that tends to be smaller and lighter than traditional models. These are typically ideal for travel, since they fold quickly and easily and can be gate checked on airplanes, and typically meet Disney's stroller size requirements.

A side-byside double stroller is ideal for parents with twins or siblings who are similar in age. This type of double-stroller is typically less expensive than a model with a modular frame. The seats are spacious and have plenty of space for reclining, legroom, and canopy covers that offer plenty of coverage. The only disadvantage of side-by-side strollers is that it could be harder to maneuver in narrow spaces or on sidewalks that are crowded and the longer frame can make it difficult to pass through some doorways.

Folding Ease

When you are choosing a double travel stroller, the most important factor is the ease of folding. This is especially important if you have to fold your stroller in tight spaces or on crowded streets with cars and pedestrians close by. The best strollers have an easy, simple folding process that requires only just a few steps. They fold without any awkward issues which can cause a bang on parts of the body or sliding.

If you plan to keep your children in the same seats for at least the preschool years, you might want to look into the side-by-side design which allows you to add an bassinets for infants or car seats. If you believe your children will be ready to transition to separate seats prior to an double stroller convertible is a good option.

Some of the best double-strollers we tested have a near flat recline. This makes it simple for your children to lie down or eat a snack while moving. However, some products have an individual recline for each seat (the front seat on the UPPAbaby Vista Double v2 Double goes almost flat while the second one remains almost upright). This kind of disparity in seating can cause children to argue over which seat they would like to sit in.

Also, you'll need to think about the size of your vehicle's trunk, as some double travel strollers are a bit bulky and won't fit in the back of smaller vehicles. We recommend that you choose a double stroller which fits easily in your car's trunk and can be folded and stored when it is not in use. We also like double strollers with a small, light footprint with a light weight and a simple design, like the ZOE Twin+. It's the lowest-weight double stroller that we test, and with just over 19 lbs it's among the lightest strollers and can still be able to meet airline gate-check luggage weight limits. It's also Disney-sized-approved!

Some double strollers also offer parent-facing cupholders and dual snack tray for on-the-go convenience.
