Buying a Small Double Stroller

Double strollers are a big investment that will last for a long time. You should choose wisely.

Our test participants looked at strollers that provide incredible flexibility and smooth rides on any terrain. They also inspected whether the strollers were easy to fold and move.

Size

There are a variety of double strollers available such as tandem, side-by-side (single-file) and wagons. The category has come a long way from the behemoth vintage 1980s models that many older generation millennials may remember. Today, they're sleek and support various options for customization to make traveling with children more enjoyable for all involved.

For parents who have infants or toddlers in tow, double strollers that include a car seat is a great option for getting them from A to B. Some of the most advanced strollers have one frame that can accommodate two infant car seat or convertible toddler seats. They can be used by children as young as until they reach kindergarten age. These are typically more expensive than a standard double stroller frame, however they also provide the convenience of a built-in car seat system and a spacious undercarriage basket that can accommodate both car seats.

Parents with less children can opt for a single-to double-stroller, which is more simple and less expensive. These strollers are generally lighter in weight, and a few moms have shared with us that they're still using their original stroller after their children outgrew it.

The compact fold is another fantastic feature of some of the smallest double strollers that we've tried. They can be tucked away in places that larger strollers aren't able to and are generally more compact when folded.

In addition, all of the small double strollers we've tested feature a nice-sized sunshade, but the coverage varies from nothing to a cocoon-like covering. If you're looking for a bargain it's a good idea to look for second-hand strollers on auction websites like Facebook Marketplace. Just make sure you check the stroller for wear and tear prior to buying it.

Weight

Parents should consider their budget and whether the Twin stroller side by Side will fit into their family's lifestyle when purchasing a double stroller. For instance, a lightweight stroller might not have enough space for large bags or other gear. It might not have a big canopy or other features that make it more convenient to use during long journeys.

The best double strollers are simple to maneuver and sturdy, to ensure that children remain in a comfortable position and not get out of their seats. In our tests of comfort we give higher marks to strollers that have adjustable seatbacks and leg rests that are cushioned. The top double strollers come with reclined seats that allow kids to relax on long rides.

Innovative designs and thoughtful features have made strollers that can be used in many ways more popular than ever. Some of the top strollers can accommodate multiple car seats and provide a wide range of seating options from birth through preschool. Some are so light that they can be used for running or even for traveling.

When selecting a compact double-stroller it is crucial to determine if the stroller can fit through narrow doors and other spaces. Older models of tandem strollers and side-byside walkers are often too wide to fit through the majority of doors. The best small double buggy double strollers, however, tend to be narrower than standard models and can be easily pushed into doors of all sizes with ease.

It is also important to consider whether you require a stroller with additional features like a cup holder and snack tray. These are useful for longer trips but will add weight and expense to a double stroller.
