It features a side by side design, with seats that recline in a single direction and a generous UPF50plus canopy sunshade.

You can also add an RumbleSeat, Vista PiggyBack or other ride-along board to it for a second child. It's also simple to fold and maneuver.

Features

When looking for a double-stroller there are a variety of factors to think about, including whether you'd like an infant or toddler seat or a canopy. Beyond that essential characteristics of a light double stroller are its maneuverability and ability to roll on different surfaces. The majority of the strollers we tested are able to move in tight spaces. However should you be planning on taking your stroller off the road or over uneven terrain, choose a model that is designed specifically for these conditions.

Some of the double strollers that are compact that we've reviewed have frames that are narrow, making them more maneuverable in tight spaces like doors. These strollers also have smaller wheels that are filled with foam, making them more suited to pushing on sandy or bumpy terrain. This means that they can be carried in snow or on cobblestones.

A compact and light double stroller for parents who travel frequently is essential. These models are easy to carry and pack because they fold flat. They can also be folded with one hand and will stand up when folded and locked, so you don't have to worry about them falling over while in your trunk or while on a train.

We've tested a variety of double strollers that fold into a compact size. However, we've also tested a few models that are smaller and easily put in your car or at home. Some of these strollers have a built-in carrying strap, making them much easier to carry.

Convertible double strollers are among of the cheapest models in this category. They can be converted to single strollers as your children reach. The storage basket can fit both seats and the adapter can be used to transform it into a baby car seat carrier. They can usually be adapted to a toddler seat with the purchase of an additional conversion kit, which can be a big savings.

Design

When you are looking for a new stroller you must think about where it will be used. This will help you narrow down your choices. A more robust design is essential if you plan to take it to the park or for long walks. This is also applicable to those who wish to make use of their stroller as an auto seat travel system. In this instance you'll need to think about whether the model you select will work with the type of car seat or bassinet that you are planning to use it with.

A good double stroller will be able to maneuver easily and roll across a variety of surfaces. Most of the models that we tested can do this, but those with larger wheels can glide easily over grass, carpeting, unpaved paths, sidewalks, curbs, and other surfaces.

We also looked at strollers that could take an assault while still being compact in their folding. We would prefer a single-handed system. It's essential to choose a stroller that can be folded in one hand, since most parents do not have two hands to carry their child and stroller at the same time. And since we all know that messes happen and strollers are easy to clean will save you from many frustrations in the long in the long.

Some of the top-rated strollers are distinguished by features like one-handed folding, self-standing and a carry strap. They also offer large pop-out canopy sizes with SPF 50, peekaboo windows, adjustable calf support, reclined seats and comfortable cushioned fabrics. We also like models that allow you to add a second passenger.

The best double strollers are available in bundles which include car seats or bassinets. This can be an ideal solution for parents who do not wish to buy separate products and fret about assembling. These types of strollers are generally less expensive than strollers that are standalone. They can also be bulkier and difficult to maneuver in tight spaces than other models.

Comfort

The stroller must be light enough so that you can easily carry it without straining either your back or arms. Most compact double strollers weigh less than 24 pounds and measure between 25 and 30 inches in width, which is far lighter than the average standard double stroller. Likewise, the best double stroller ones come with comfortable seats, comfortable leg rests, and buckles that are easy to fasten.

Some compact double strollers have adjustable suspensions that let you navigate rough terrain or uneven pavement without feeling jarred. Some double strollers feature a front wheel that can be swiveled to enable you to maneuver through tight spaces, such as shopping aisles or car parks. The front wheels can be locked so that they can't turn, which is great for driving on rough surfaces, such as cobblestones and sand.

The best travel double stroller double strollers that are compact, in addition to being light and easy to move designed to make parents and children as comfortable as is possible. The top double strollers are lightweight, include padded seats, and leg rests with easy-to-fasten buckles and come with large UPF 50+ umbrellas that offer ample sun protection. They also come with peekaboo windows and generous UPF canopies. They're also among the largest strollers we've tested for storage, with room for both the kids' and mom or dad's stuff.

Many of the top double strollers that fit in small 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. For instance, you could use the included infant car seat adapter to put a baby on the front seat, then remove it and attach the toddler seat for older siblings to ride along. You can also convert the majority of models into tandem strollers, which lets one child be in the back and the other one in the front (the top seat can typically flip to face the parent or rotate for forward-facing mode).

The most important thing in a compact double stroller to consider is the ease of use. Ideally, you want to be able to fold it and carry it with one hand and then easily place it in your car seat or trunk when not in use. A compact double stroller with car seat stroller will fold in a matter of seconds and be no more than a few feet in length when fully open. It must also be able to stand on its own and not require special tools to disassemble or assemble.

Storage

If you're in the market for a double stroller with car seat stroller, look for models with ample storage. If you're carrying food items, snacks for toddlers, or two bags of toys, you need plenty of space to store your day-to-day essentials. The stroller should fold up easily and compactly. A one-handed fold is a huge plus for those days when you're holding a baby or juggling a purse, diaper bag, and shopping bags.

Some models have a handlebar-adjacent shopping basket for easy access to small items. Some models have a large traditional basket under the carriage. If you're in the market for a specific model look for features such as the ability of securing a kickboard, or an infant car seat. Jogging strollers for instance are designed with a smooth suspension that lets them glide over pavement and cobblestones while maintaining their speed. Some models even come with a built-in child carrier for running with dogs and children. But these types of strollers are much more expensive than standard all-terrain and recliner models, and require a serious investment in the right tires for outdoor use.

Specialized car seat strollers such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 are a great option for parents who intend to use their stroller from birth. The Vista can accommodate two bassinets, infant car seats or both (and in some cases, a third seat with the optional RumbleSeat version 2) and comes with frames that can easily be clipped to remove or add seats and other accessories. It also has a wide selection of seating configurations and, unlike many side-by-side strollers, doesn't have the wide footprint that can make it hard to maneuver through narrow doors.

The less expensive Graco DuoGlider Lux is another good choice for families who are planning to use their stroller from birth until toddlerhood. The DuoGlider comes with a good-sized basket and two hanging storage bags on the back of each seat. It can be used with an infant car seat or toddler seat and comes with a rain shield. It's heavier than the Vista but still offers good flexibility for the price.

Most of our top picks are relatively lightweight and fold flat for transport which means they can fit in most trunks and can be checked for gate entry on planes. These are also perfect for everyday use, especially those who spend much time in public places.
