Seating

Seating options are crucial when choosing a double-stroller. Depending on your kids' stages of development it is possible to consider a side-by-side option that allows both children to sit together, or a tandem model that allows one child to stand while the other is seated.

The seating arrangement also affects your comfort as you navigate through busy streets and sidewalks. Look for a stroller with reclined seats, reclined footrests and generous canopies that provide shade for both of the passengers. Also, avoid hanging bags on the handlebars since they can change the stroller's center of gravity and increase tipping.

A high-quality double stroller comes with useful storage for your necessities as well. Find storage compartments underneath the seats or in the backs of the seats. These are great places to store toys, snacks and other essentials. Parents consoles and bags connected to the handles are also helpful for keeping essentials within reach during walks or outings.

A side-by-side stroller is the best choice for parents who have children of similar age. They are generally more stable than the stacking type and provide better views for both passengers. Some models also accommodate two car seats for infants which allows you to move your sleeping kids from the car to the stroller and not wake them.

They can also allow a larger child to ride with the front.

Canopy

A canopy protects both the passengers from the sunlight and, in some models, a an apron that protects children's faces. The top scoring models for canopy options were the BOB Revolution Flex v3.0 Duallie, and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Dual. Both come with huge shades. Both offer ample coverage and cover children from head to knee, however, inline models tend to be less generous with shade or provide a single canopy that only covers one seat, which can be difficult for siblings who need different levels of protection.

Many of our top-rated canopys fit onto strollers with ease. But be sure to check the model's dimensions before you purchase, as some canopy might require additional space in the basket to allow for full extension and to avoid hitting the handles when folded.

Some parents like double strollers that come with the option of a bassinet or car seat adapters to provide them with more options in the future. For instance the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double features an infant seat as well as an additional RumbleSeat, making it a perfect choice for families with twins or children who may need to transport more than two kids at the same time. This stroller is also able to offer an unique sit-and-stand option for older children who prefer to ride on their own.

Both can expand into a triple stroller with the addition of a running board which is perfect pram for newborn active families with one child who is in motion.

Wheels

The kind of wheels a stroller has makes an impact on how it is easy to push. Generally, larger wheels are easier to maneuver and are able to handle more terrain. The material that the wheels are made of plays a role in how difficult or simple they are to push. Rubber wheels, for instance, are typically more durable and are able to withstand rougher surfaces than plastic ones.

Stroller wheels come in various styles, sizes and materials to meet a range of requirements and environments. Swivel wheels, for example, can make it easier to navigate tight spaces and tight corners. Fixed wheels are more stable and suitable for smooth surfaces. If you intend to use your stroller on rough terrain or off-road, air-filled tires are a better option than standard rubber tires. These tires are similar to bicycle tires that absorb shocks to provide better comfort on the road.

Double strollers that are side-by-side are larger than tandem models and can be more difficult to navigate through narrow doors or crowded aisles. They give your children the same amount of room to sit and stretch their legs. They're usually also more maneuverable and easy to steer than tandem strollers.

If you intend to use your stroller to run or bike then look for double joggers with all-terrain or jogging tires. These tires are larger and thicker, and come with sealed ball bearings to provide a smoother ride on uneven surfaces. Certain models, such as the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller, are compatible with car seats, that allow you to run with your kids safely to their car seats.

Other all-terrain/jogging strollers like the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X accept a second child in the front, but they are too bulky to qualify as umbrella doubles.

The stroller is more expensive than the top single-to tandem model, but it comes with high-quality components and an affordable resale value.

Stores

A quality double stroller will have enough storage space for both parents and children. Insufficient storage can make it hard for a parent to get around town or bring all the necessary equipment on a day out with two kids. In our Lab tests we found that the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double scored excellently in this metric, with a large and easily accessible basket that can accommodate up to 30lbs.

Strollers with multiple compartments and pockets can assist families in organizing small items like wallets, keys and phones. A parent console or organizer bag that can be attached to the stroller's handlebars can be a handy way for parents to store their personal belongings while outing with the children.

In addition to a large basket the UPPAbaby Vista comes with two infant car seats (though not both bassinets) and also has a telescoping handlebar as well as brakes that are simple to use. It also has the largest maximum weight capacity in our lineup, and it folds to fit the majority of door frames.

Our testers also found that the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite wagon features a remarkably adjustable bar that is perfect for parents with different heights. The wagon features two UV screens that fold down for full sun protection, and its cup holders as well as snack tray can accommodate various bottles for kids and snacks.

A major challenge for anyone using a stroller is the ability to fold it and return it to shape after use, particularly if you're dealing with an infant and a toddler in the back. That's why it's important to choose a model with a smooth and user-friendly fold. Both the UPPAbaby Vista v2 stroller and Evenflo Pivot Xpand have a single-handed, easy-to-use mechanism that lets parents to fold their strollers quickly and efficiently, no matter what configuration they're in.

Double strollers can be an expensive investment but parents who plan to use it for a number of years will pay more than they would for single strollers. It's also worth determining if the stroller can be divided into pieces to make it easier to transport and store, which is an important aspect to consider if you're limited in your space for your vehicle or living space.
