However, it comes with double-action brakes which require the release of two pedals, and does not accept infant car seats. This could be a problem for some parents.

Safety Features

For those who plan to go for strolls and jogs, strollers with 3 wheels offer more stability than four-wheel options. The reason is because they always have two wheels on the floor and some four-wheelers lift one wheel off the ground in order to negotiate obstructions like curbs or other obstacles. Three-wheelers weigh more than four-wheelers, which can pose a problem if the weight is a problem.

Some 3-wheel strollers have pneumatic (air-filled) tires they are an excellent choice for people who plan to jog and want a more comfortable ride than the plastic hard wheels found on some products. They require routine maintenance, pressure checks, and an emergency tire repair kit since they are more prone to losing air than the tires on solid tires. You can find recommended pressures in your stroller's manual or on the manufacturer's website.

Strollers with adjustable handlebars aid in reducing neck, arm and back strain for the person who is pushing them. The ideal posture for your arms is near your belly button, with your elbows slightly bowed and your hands relaxed. A lockable front swivel wheel can be useful for bumpy or uneven surfaces.

A well-functioning brake is vital, and you should test your stroller's parking brake frequently to ensure that it operates quickly and effortlessly.

You should also check the stroller's weight as well as shipping & handling charges, as these will add up quickly. Consider any extras that you might need or avoid, like snacks trays or speakers that are built-in that can make the stroller heavier, less aerodynamic, and a trip hazard for children.

Maneuverability

One of the most important aspects to take into consideration when selecting the right stroller is how easy it is to maneuver. Unfortunately, double strollers have a difficult time turning and moving through tight spaces than their single-seat counterparts due to their weight, size and additional passengers. This can be quite frustrating when trying to navigate busy sidewalks or supermarket stores with children in the stroller.

While some of our most-loved strollers -- such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double -- are incredibly easy to push, others struggle because of their flexing frames and wide-set wheels. Double strollers are typically heavier than other double strollers. This makes them more difficult to transport and move when not in use.

Comfort

You'll want to feel at ease when strolling with your kids for long periods of time. A great double stroller should provide smooth riding, as well as support for both seats with adjustable five-point safety harnesses and provide ample storage space for snacks and toys.

A cushioned handle is crucial for comfortable pushing. A swivel-wheel on the front is helpful, especially for joggers, to maneuver around curbs or narrow spaces. Also, the possibility of locking the front swivel wheel for more comfort is perfect to take your family for a long stroll or run.

Another feature you should look for in a double stroller is a quick folding operation that can be accomplished by one hand. The UPPAbaby Vista Double v2, Evenflo Pivot Xplore Wagon, and Joovy Zoom X2 Double all have the top folding systems in our tests.

In our tests we looked at various seating arrangements that could be used to satisfy the wants and needs of families with different needs. The UPPAbaby Vista Double took the top spot in this category, as it can seat twins in two separate infant car seats or accommodate a third child with the addition of a riding board. It also has the fastest and most simple assembly in our test group, taking only 15 minutes from start to finish.

The storage in most double strollers we tested is adequate, however certain models are more accessible than others.

Storage

The storage space in a double stroller must be sufficient to accommodate both of you and your children's snacks and drinks. However, the amount of storage available varies significantly between models. Some models, such as the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, the lightest stroller we tested, and the brand new Summer Infant 3D Pac CS+ double stroller, have just two cup holders for parents and hanging bags of storage behind each seat. Some, such as the UPPAbaby Vista Double or Joovy ScooterX2, have large baskets that are easy to access.

Some of the best double-strollers also have features like an extendable canopy as well as reclining seats that allow you adjust your child's ride in accordance with the weather conditions or your mood. A lot of these strollers are compatible with car seats, so you can start using them immediately and then add a glider board or child seat as your family grows.
