Buying a Small Double Stroller
A double stroller is an important investment, and one you'll be using for many years. It is important to choose carefully.
Our test participants looked at strollers that offer great flexibility and smooth rides on any terrain. They also examined whether the models were easy to fold and move.
Size
There are a variety of double strollers available that include tandem, side-byside (single-file) and wagons. The type of stroller has changed from the classic 1980s models some older millennials may remember. Nowadays, they are modern and sleek, with a variety of features that make travelling with children more enjoyable for all.
For parents with infants or toddlers, double strollers that include car seats can be incredibly useful for getting them from A to B. Some of the most sophisticated strollers feature frames that can accommodate two infant car seats or convertible toddler seats. This lets them be utilized by children from birth until they reach the age of kindergarten. They are generally more expensive than a simple double stroller frame, however they also provide the convenience of an integrated car seat system as well as an ample undercarriage basket that can hold both car seats.
Parents with less children can opt for a single-to double-stroller, which is simpler and less expensive. These types of frames are typically lighter in weight, and some moms have even told us they're still using their original stroller even after their children have outgrew it.
Another advantage of a few of the tiniest double strollers we've tested is the compact fold. They can fit into spaces that larger strollers cannot and are generally more compact when folded.
In addition, all of the compact double strollers we've tested come with a decent-sized sunshade, although the coverage varies twin pushchair from birth nothing to a cocoon-like covering. For families with a tight budget it's worth looking at second-hand strollers available on sites like Facebook Marketplace to see if there's a model that meets your family's requirements. Make sure to inspect any used stroller for signs of wear and tear prior to making a decision to purchase one.

Parents should consider their budget and whether the stroller is suitable for their family's needs when shopping for a double small stroller. A stroller that is lightweight could, for instance, not have enough storage space to accommodate bulky bags or other gear. It may not have a large canopy, or other features to make it easier to use on long trips.
The most comfortable double strollers are easy to maneuver and sturdy so that children can remain comfortable and not be confined to their seats. In our comfort tests we award higher marks to strollers with adjustable seatbacks and leg rests that are cushioned. The best double strollers also have reclining seating positions that let kids unwind during long trips.
Innovative designs and thoughtful features are making strollers that can be used in many ways more popular than ever. Some of the most popular strollers can fit multiple car seats and provide many seating options from birth through preschool. Some are so light that they can be used for jogging or for travel.
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a small double stroller is whether it will be able to pass through doors and other narrow spaces. The majority of older models of side-by-side strollers and tandem strollers have an overall wideness which makes them incompatible with many doors. The most compact double strollers, however, are usually narrower than traditional models and can be pushed into the majority of doors easily.
You should also consider whether you need a stroller that has additional features such as a cup holder and snack tray. These are useful for longer trips, but they can add weight and cost to a double stroller.
Folding
A small double stroller that folds compactly, easily fitting into tight spaces and making it easy to store. Its lightweight design makes it easy to carry and maneuver.
Before you choose a compact double stroller consider where you will be using it and how often. The answer to these questions will help you determine the features that are the most important. For instance, if plan to use the stroller for running then you'll want to look for one with an easy suspension that can glide over pavement and rough terrain.
Also, take into consideration the age and temperament of your children. If they are of similar age, then a side-by-side stroller might be the best choice. However, if they are at different stages of development, then a tandem model may be better suited for your needs.
A double stroller may be expensive, but it's an investment that will pay off in the long run. The purchase of a top-quality model that fits your family's needs will make travelling with children easier, and it will also give years of comfort to you and your kids.
If you are limited in storage space, you might want to consider a compact double stroller that can accommodate both infant car seats as well as toddlers. Evenflo Pivot Xplore Wagon can accommodate twins and is an excellent option for families with two children. It comes with two canopies and a storage bin that can be attached as well as a tray for children with cup holders. This budget-friendly stroller comes with the ability to fold quickly and easily and can be pushed by one hand. It is worth pointing out that the majority of double modular strollers require you to remove the second seat when folding them.
Maneuverability
The most suitable double strollers for small spaces are easy to maneuver, and have wheels that glide smoothly over any surface. These strollers come with reclining seats that are comfortable and plenty of storage space for your kids' gear. Additionally, many of these strollers can accommodate car seat carriers and infant toddler seats. These features make these strollers an ideal choice for families that want one stroller that is multi-purpose.
Alli Cavasino, a certified child passenger safety technician who provides parents with advice on strollers and travel gear She suggests choosing a light model that is easy to push. "Strollers that are too heavy can cause frame fatigue and injury," she says. If your stroller is too heavy and difficult to push, consider adding a ride-along or reduce the number of children.
Several of the small double strollers we tested could accommodate multiple infant car seat carriers. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double, for example can hold two infant seats or toddler seats at once and can be converted into a 3-seat configuration using the RumbleSeat add-on. It also features a chic inline design, with foam-filled tires that can't be flat, and a telescoping handlebar with an adjustable height. Its seat buckles are among the most simple to unfasten and fasten and its large UPF 50+ sunshades come with windows that peek out.
Other models have seating that is flexible, making them suitable for multiples, twins, an older child who is a single person, an infant or toddler with a riding scooter (sold separately). These models also have easy-to use brakes and an incredibly compact fold that can fit into the majority of trunks. Some are light enough to schlep up and down steps. They require minimal assembly. The Joovy Caboose however, requires a few tools and was the most difficult to build during our tests.
Safety
The best double strollers are equipped with multiple safety features. They have adjustable handlebars that give you the user with a comfortable grip and a wide base so it won't fall over when children get out of their seats. They also have generous canopies that protect both kids even rainstorms. Alli Cavasino is a certified child safety technician. She claims they are simple to use. "Look for a oneor two-step fold that can be easily carried, and that has a clear, easy location to put the straps," she advises.
The most compact double strollers fit easily through doors, which is a major advantage if you have the space of a small car or living space. The smallest models are also significantly lighter than standard double strollers, making them easy to move from one place to another--no needing to strain your arms or back as you sling an oversized stroller on your shoulder.
Parents of children of similar ages may opt for a side by side stroller, such as our top pick for the Joovy Kooper X2, that has two child seats which can be individually adjusted for recline and size. In our testing we found that the seats were very comfortable and recline was easy and simple. Each seat is equipped with a single lever. It also comes with a massive storage basket, a one-step linked parking brake (to reduce hand fatigue when stopping) as well as some of the most comfortable harnesses we have tested.
If you have kids far from each other in age, a sit-and-stand stroller, like our top pick, the UPPAbaby Vista Double, could be a good choice. It can be used with two infant car seats, and it has a pair modified seats that can be used as bassinets.
