It’s hard enough getting around with one baby, just imagine having two! So when you have twins or two young children close in age, a double stroller is a necessity. Aside from safety and durability, here’s what you need to know when selecting the best double stroller for your family.
1. Stroller Type: As with single strollers, there are various types of double strollers. Choose from jogging strollers for an active lifestyle or sit-and-stand strollers if you have older children. And if you don’t like the look of a double stroller, there are even single strollers that convert to a double stroller with a special kit.
2. Tandem or Side-by-Side: Tandem strollers seat passengers one behind the other, while side-by-side strollers seat passengers next to each other. Consider the ages of your children and pick one that best suits your needs.
3. Stroller Size: Double strollers can be big. Make sure that the stroller will fit in your trunk. And if you’re buying a side-by-side model, a slimmer model will ensure that you fit easily through doorways and crowded aisles.

Maclaren Twin TechnoPrice: $380
Stroller Weight: 26 pounds
Weight Limit: up to 110 pounds
Get Yours: babyearth.com
Pros: If you’re thinking you want a side-by-side design, the Twin Techno is the best double stroller for you. The lightweight aluminum frame is easy to steer, easy to fold and fits through most doorways. The stroller also features independently-reclining seats and canopies. Added features include adjustable leg rests, carry strap for easy travel, and rain cover.
Cons: The best double strollers will obviously be more expensive than single strollers. This is one is pretty moderately priced, but still almost $400 isn’t cheap.
Graco Quattro Tour DuoPrice: $280
Stroller Weight: 39 pounds
Weight Limit: up to 50 pounds in front; 40 in rear
Get Yours: amazon.com
Pros: A bargain for its price, the Quattro Tour Duo double stroller features reclining seats, large canopies, dual snack trays with cup holders and a generous storage bin underneath. It’s also compatible with the Graco SnugRide Car Seat, parents can use this from birth on up. Bonus: the rear seat is higher for better viewing.
Cons: Start your arm workouts now. Though this is one of the best double strollers, it is both heavy and bulky, making it a real pain to hoist in and out of your car trunk.
Baby Jogger City MiniPrice: $400
Stroller Weight: 21 pounds
Weight Limit: up 45 pounds in front; 45 pounds in back
Get Yours: babyearth.com
Pros: If you have a baby who requires a comfortable seat and a toddler who likes to hop on and off, try the Joovy, which is one of the best double strollers because it’s lightweight and easy to steer. A platform in the rear lets your tot stand while you push, and when his legs get tired he can rest on the bench. Bonus: it works with most infant car seats, so you can use it as soon as number two is born.
Cons: The rear bench is convenient, but can be uncomfortable to sit on for long periods of time. Also, it’s only suited for older children, so this isn’t the best pick if you one of your kids can’t stand.
Phil & Teds Sport All-Terrain BuggyPrice: $540
Stroller Weight: 24 pounds
Weight Limit: up to 55 pounds
Get Yours: amazon.com
Pros: This sporty stroller offers rugged all-terrain dependability, easy turning in tight corners and a clever way for growing families to stroll with two kids. The doubles kit, which you have to buy separately, converts it into a two-seater without increasing its footprint.
Cons: The brakes on this stroller are a bit awkward and the sunshade could stand to be a little bigger.
Bob Revolution DualliePrice: $629
Stroller Weight: 33 pounds
Weight Limit: up to 100 pounds
Get Yours: babyearth.com
Pros: A 12-inch front swivel wheel that locks into a fixed position makes this a versatile double stroller for joggers, power walkers and parents who just want a sturdy double stroller they can take anywhere. And the passengers are happy too—with large sunshades, padded, near-flat reclining seats and kid-accessible pockets and cup holders in the seating.
Cons: In addition to being heavy and missing a much-needed parent tray, this stroller is also on the expensive side.
Graco Twin IpoPrice: $161
Stroller Weight: 32.5 pounds
Weight Limit: up to 50 pounds for each seat
Get Yours: amazon.com
Pros: This Graco model is easy to steer, folds compactly, and the individually reclining seats are comfortable, all of which makes it one of the best double strollers. Each seat also has an impressive weight limit of 50 pounds each.
Cons: On the downside, the Ipo is surprisingly heavy, even for a double stroller, and doesn’t have a spacious storage basket.
