Safety

Your stroller should be safe no matter if you're out running shopping trips with your kids, taking them to the zoo or trick-or-treating. That means an sturdy frame and comfortable harnesses that are suitable for children who sit down, as well as easy-to-grab handles for toddlers who stand. It should also be able to fit through doors, simple to fold and move and be simple to maneuver. It should be a good value.

We put every double stroller we tested through vigorous testing in our lab, at the Zoo, on streets in the city, and during family outings in suburban neighborhoods. Our lab tests test the stroller's maneuverability, stability, and ease of steering. We also test the suspension comfort for both the driver as well as the rider and the weight capacity, the seat canopy heights, as well as the storage space.

In addition to the regular security checks carried out by our team of stroller experts, we request parents to give feedback on their experiences with each model. We then take into account all of that information when making our recommendations.

Take a look at our top picks to help you find a stroller that is secure and durable. These strollers can be used in multiple seating options to accommodate infant car seats, can be used as a single stroller or tandem, and are suitable for children from birth to elementary school.

Consider a tandem stroller with benches at the back for a third child, if you have twins or a child of similar age. They're a great option for siblings who wish to interact with each other however they may not be able to sit next to each other in a side-by-side stroller, where they could end in fighting or arguing.

Comfort

The best double strollers come with comfortable child seats that are well-padded and well-supported. The best double strollers come with plenty of storage space, large legs and footwells for children, and UPF 50+ canopy that provides great sun protection. The seats should recline at a slight angle to ensure that children are comfortable, and they should include calf bars that allow parents to adjust the height of each seat individually. The handlebars must be ergonomic and easy to move according to Alli Cavasino, a certified child-passenger safety technician. The handlebars need to be close enough to your child's seat that you can grab them and hold them. If the handlebars on the stroller are not close enough it will be difficult to keep your balance and good form when pushing them.

The ride should be smooth on rough or hard surfaces. Some of the models we tested come with shock absorbers to keep the ride stable. Others have both rear and front suspensions, which decrease the amount of force you need to push them and increase your control over them. The wheels must have a long-lasting tread and made of high-quality rubber.

We scoured the internet for the most versatile double-strollers that can be used from to toddlerhood. A few of the ones we found could be used as tandem strollers or side-byside and one, the Uppababy Vista v2, can even be transformed into a single-file stroller suitable for infants.

Your children's ages and stages can influence the kind of stroller you choose to be most suitable for your needs. For instance, parents with twins might choose a convertible stroller that can hold two infant car seats at once, while a family with an older child and a toddler might prefer a double that is side-by-side. You'll have to decide if you'd like an infant stroller that fits through narrow doors, grocery store aisles or on planes.
