There are many things to take into consideration when you're shopping for a double to single buggy stroller. This includes whether you want it to have a bassinet or toddler seat, and which kind of canopy you prefer. Other than these essential features of a lightweight double stroller is its mobility and the ability to roll on different surfaces. The majority of the models we tested are able to navigate in tight spaces. However should you be planning on taking your stroller off the road or across uneven terrain, choose the model that was specifically designed for the terrain you're walking on.

Some of the compact double strollers that we have reviewed have narrow frames, which make them easier to maneuver in tight spaces, like doorways. These strollers also come with smaller wheels that are filled with foam making them more suited to pushing on rough or sandy terrain. This also means that they are often pushed in the snow or on cobblestones.

For parents who often travel with their children, a compact and light double stroller is a must. These models are lightweight and easy to carry since they fold flat. They can also be folded with one hand and will stand up when they're folded and locked, so you don't have to be concerned about them slipping over in your trunk or on a train.

We've tested many double strollers that fold up into a compact size. We've also tested a few that are smaller and easily stored in your trunk or home. Some of these strollers come with a built-in carrying strap, making them more convenient to carry around.

A few of the cheapest models in this category are convertible double strollers which allow you to transform them into single strollers as your children grow. They usually come with a huge storage basket that can accommodate both seats' worth of equipment and can be converted to an infant car seat carrier using a compatible adapter (not included). They can usually be adapted to a toddler's seat by the purchase of a separate conversion kit, which can be a big savings.

Design

One of the first things to consider when shopping for a stroller is where you'll be using it and what you'll use it for. This will help narrow the options. A more robust design is crucial if you plan to take it to the park or go for long walks. This is especially applicable to those who wish to make use of their stroller as a car seat travel system. In this instance it's crucial to know whether the stroller is compatible with the car seat or bassinet you are planning to use.

A quality double stroller should be capable of rolling and maneuvering over various surfaces. Most of the models we tested can do this, but those with larger wheels can roll easily over carpeting, grass, unpaved paths, curbs, sidewalks and other surfaces.

We also looked for strollers that could take a beating, but still fold compactly, preferably with a one-hand mechanism. This is crucial since most parents don't have two hands free to handle their stroller and children at the at the same at the same time. We all know that messes do happen and a stroller that's easy to clean will save you from lots of stress in the long run.

The top-rated strollers are distinguished by features like one-handed folding, self-standing and a carry strap. They also come with large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50, peekaboo windows, adjustable calf support, reclining seats and comfy padding. We also appreciate models that give the option of adding an additional seat.

The best double strollers are available as bundles which include car seats or bassinets. This can be a great option for parents who don't want to purchase separate products and worry about reassembling. But, it's important to remember that these strollers typically have a lower product quality than strollers that are standalone. They may also be heavier and more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces than other models.

Comfort

The stroller should be light enough that you can carry it comfortably without straining either your arms or your back. Most compact nipper double buggy strollers are not heavier than 24 pounds, and measure between 25-30 inches wide. This is much lighter than the standard double stroller. Also, the top ones come with comfortable seats, padded leg rests and buckles that are easy to fasten.

Some double strollers are compact and come with an adjustable suspension that allows you to navigate rough terrain or uneven pavement without feeling jarred. Some double strollers have a front wheel that can be rotated to allow you to maneuver around tight spaces, like shopping aisles or car parks. The front wheels can be locked so that they can't turn, which is perfect for driving on rough surfaces, such as cobblestones and sand.

Alongside being lightweight and compact, the most double strollers are made to be as comfortable as is possible for parents and children alike. They have padded seats with leg rests, easy-to-fasten straps, and generous UPF 50+ canopies that provide plenty of sunlight protection and windows that peek out. These are also some of our largest strollers to use for storage. They have room for both dad and mom's things and the kids'.

Many of the top double strollers for compact spaces are also able to be used in a variety of ways. They allow you to change between different configurations using different seat attachments, or even a ride-on-board. You can, for example use the infant car seat adapter to put a baby on the front seat. Then, take off the adapter and attach the toddler seat so that your older siblings can ride along. You can also convert the majority of models into a tandem stroller, which lets one child sit and stand double stroller in the back and the other in the front (the top seat can flip to face the parent or rotate to allow forward-facing mode).

The most important thing in a compact double stroller that you should consider is the ease of use. Ideally, you want to be able fold and carry it in one hand and easily fit it into your car or trunk when not in use. A compact double stroller can fold in just a few seconds and be no more than a few feet long when fully open. It should be able stand up on its own and it shouldn't require any special tools to assemble or disassemble.

Storage

If you're in the market for a double stroller, search for models that offer plenty of storage. If you're carrying groceries, toddler snacks or two bags of toys, you'll require plenty of space for your daily essentials. You also want to ensure that the stroller folds up easily and compactly. If you're juggling the baby bag, purse, diaper bag, or other bags A stroller that folds with one hand is a wonderful feature.

Some models have an open shopping basket that is attached to the handlebars for easy access to smaller items. Some models have a spacious traditional undercarriage basket. If you're in the market for a specific type, look for features like the possibility of securing a kickboard, or an infant car seat. Jogging strollers are designed with an easy suspension that allows them to glide across cobblestones and pavement while maintaining their speed. Some come with a built-in child carrier so you can run with your dog or baby. However, these strollers are much more expensive than basic all-terrain and recliner models, and require a substantial investment in the proper tires for outdoor use.

Parents who intend to use the stroller from birth may want to consider a dedicated car seat stroller like the UPPAbaby Vista V2. The Vista can fit two bassinets for infants or both (and in some cases, a third seat with the optional RumbleSeat v2) and features frames with clips that allow you to attach or remove seats and accessories. It offers a variety of seating configurations, and unlike many side-by-side walkers it doesn't have a massive footprint, which makes it difficult to navigate through doors.

The less expensive Graco DuoGlider Lux is another good choice for families who are planning to use their stroller from birth through toddlerhood. The DuoGlider comes with a large basket as well as two storage bags that are hung on the backs of both seats. It can fit an infant car seat or toddler seat, and includes a rain cover. It's heavier than the Vista but offers great versatility for its price.

Traveling with children requires the right gear, including a stroller that's easy to fold and carry. The majority of our top picks are lightweight and fold flat for transport and fit into the majority of trunks and are checked for gate entry on planes. They're also ideal for everyday use when you're often out and about in public areas.
