What is a double stroller?

A double stroller is a stroller with room for 2 people. It may also be called a twin stroller.

Who needs a double stroller?

Double strollers can cost you an arm and a leg, but there are several models that are just as good if you are on a tight budget.

If you have twins or two babies under the age of three, then a double stroller becomes very essential.

Considering the fact that you are most likely not going to carry your twins on both hands as you commute through the city, you might as well invest in a double stroller.

For parents who already have a single stroller that is still currently in use for pushing their little child who is still an infant or under three, there is the option of purchasing a baby carrier for your youngest child while using the stroller for the bigger child.

However, this obviously is not as convenient as using a double stroller, especially if you have twins.

It is only practical if there is an age gap between your babies, and only for the period when a baby carrier is suitable for the baby.

What types of double strollers are there?

More importantly, you want to make sure that you buy a double stroller that best suits your personal situation.

Have an idea of how you intend to use the stroller.

There are a few questions that you need to ask like:

• Do I need a double stroller for my toddler and newborn?
• Do I need a double stroller that can accommodate car seats?
• Does the stroller have a higher weight limit that can accommodate the bigger child?

So, there are basically three types of double stroller that you are likely to come across while shopping.

In-line strollers

This type of double stroller is easy to identify because the seats are arranged in single file, with one seat in front of the other. Both seats are usually of the season size but can have what is referred to as “stadium seating”- the back seat is raised a little higher than the front seat in order to provide better viewing for your curious little one. The downside of in-line strollers is that they can be difficult to turn due to their length.

Side-by-side strollers

The name gives it away – the seats are arranged side by side and mostly have the same out t of pockets and accessories, as well as inclination. No need for a stadium seating here, as both kids have the same view. Getting through narrow doorways and aisles can be extremely difficult or impossible.

Convertible strollers

If you are not expecting twins, then this might be the most practical type of stroller to purchase. Convertible strollers let you use them as a single stroller or you can convert them into a double stroller by throwing in a second seat.

Double Stroller Reviews

Now let’s take a look at the best double strollers to keep an eye out for when shopping.

The Uppababy Vista is a premium convertible or double stroller, and the most expensive on this list.

Do not be quick to write off this double stroller because it is actually a fantastic stroller that lives up to expectations.

We can talk about how premium it actually looks and feels, but the real attraction is its design – the convertible design that grows with your family.

If you are expecting your second child while nursing your first who is still under three, then you might want to consider the Uppababy Vista.

It has removable seats that can be installed facing forward or backward. It works as a single stroller, a double seat formation for twins, or a single seat and a riding board formation if there is an age gap.

 

We love strollers that do a lot of things and can be used in multiple configurations, why wouldn’t we?

The Baby Jogger City Select Lux is a double stroller that fits the description of a truly versatile stroller.

If you are willing to look away from its heavy price tag, you are most likely not making the wrong choice.

This double stroller is a good one to consider if you are having twins, majorly because of all the seating configurations that you can achieve with it, and the convenience that it offers.

Everything from the frame to the cushioning and the covering material are properly made and put together.

Another thing to consider is the fact that it is not bulky and it folds into a compact size, which makes it easy to transport.

It is not wide, which means you can get in and out of your rooms or get through your hallway in a breeze.

 

 

 

Compared to the Baby Jogger City Select Lux, the Baby Jogger is way more affordable.

This side-by-side double stroller is fantastic for several reasons in addition to the fact that it won’t cost you an arm and a leg.

Of all the side-by-side double strollers we put to test, the City Mini Double turns out to be the narrowest, which is a big deal.

The width of side-by-side strollers is one of the reasons why parents sometimes stay away from buying it, so finding one that has a lot of room and is actually narrow is a huge plus.

It offers deeper declines for each seat and decent storage space.

It folds up easily and quickly, saving you time and reduce stress, it also offers very smooth and comfortable rides for both caregiver or parents and kids.

The big drawback for the City Mini is that it can only accommodate one infant car seat, which is a factor to consider if you are having twins.

 

 

The Thule Urban Glide 2.0 is one of the nicest looking strollers that we tested.

This is the stroller that you might want to have if you are a parent with two little kids who lives to spend quality time outdoors exercising g or exploring.

This double stroller has been optimized to let do what you want outdoors with your little ones in tow.

It is very convenient and hassle-free, superb for long walks or runs – it actually wowed as we put it’s maneuverability to test, all thanks to its large swivel front wheel.

Another great thing about this double stroller is that is extremely easy to fold and carry, it did better than other double strollers we put to test.

Parents who have twins may not appreciate the fact that it can only accommodate one car seat, but as we said earlier, it all depends on how you intend to use it.

Another thing to note is that is also heavier than other strollers we have reviewed.

 

If you are looking for an affordable double stroller that can do the basic, which is getting your kids from point a to point conveniently, then the Chicco Echo Twin Stroller is a solid option.

We understand that not everyone is willing to invest the big bucks on a stroller, and that is why we decided to include the Echo Twin Stroller.

Do not let its price fool you, it is a decent stroller for its price.

It does not come with all the bells and whistles that you will find on the top of the shelf models, such as multiple seat configurations or car seat options.

What we like the most about this double stroller is the fact that is pretty much stripped down and it looks simple. It is also quite narrow, which is definitely a good thing to consider.
