Safety

When you’re doing around town, going to the zoo or going out for trick-or-treating with your kiddos your stroller should be safe. It should have an sturdy frame and comfortable harnesses for children who sit down, and easy-to-grab handles for toddlers who stand. It should also be able to pass through doors and be easy to maneuver and fold. 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 areas. Our lab tests assess the stroller’s stability and maneuverability, ease of steering and handling and suspension comfort for both the driver and the rider capacity for weight as well as the height of the canopy on the seat and storage space.

We solicit feedback from parents on each model in addition to the routine safety check carried out by our team. Then, we take the information into consideration when forming our recommendations.

If you’re looking for a safe, high-quality stroller, start with our top picks. These strollers are versatile and offer a variety of seating options for infant car seats, can be used as an individual stroller or in tandem, and are suitable for children from birth to elementary school.

The best double strollers will grow with your family. They’re sleek and stylish, support various customization options and can accommodate toddlers and infants in a tandem or side-by-side (single-file) seating styles. They also come with a large storage basket, a telescoping handlebar, and one-handed folding mechanisms.

If you have twins or a child who is a similar age to their sibling, you should consider choosing a tandem stroller with benches in the back that can be used by a third child. They’re an excellent option for siblings who want to get involved, but may not be able to sit close to one another in a stroller with a side-byside feature which could result in them ending up arguing or fighting. You’ll also find convertible models that permit you to take off the bench seat once your children are ready to go for the ride without a car seat.

Comfort

The best double strollers have comfortable child seats that have plenty of padding and support.

Alli Cavasino is a certified child safety technician. She says that the handlebars should be ergonomic and easy to maneuver. The handlebars should be close enough to the kids’ seats that you can reach them and hold on to them. If the handlebars are too far apart, you’ll have a hard in keeping your balance and maintaining good posture when pushing them.

The ride should be smooth, even on rough or uneven surfaces. Some of the models that we tested had shock absorbers installed to keep the ride stable. Others have both rear and front suspension, which reduce the amount of force needed to push them, and increase the control you have over them. The wheels should be made of high-quality rubber with a durable tread that can handle lots of wear and tear.

We looked for the most flexible double strollers that could be used from birth to toddlerhood and beyond. A couple of the ones we found can be configured as tandem strollers or side-byside, and one of them is the Uppababy Vista v2, can even be transformed into a single-file stroller for infants.
