Buzzwords De-Buzzed: 10 Other Ways To Deliver Double Travel Stroller

Choosing a Double Travel Stroller

A double stroller can be a lifesaver for parents who are busy with several young children. Choose a stroller with a light weight that can be folded up small enough to fit into the trunk of your vehicle or into an overhead bin.

Avoid exceeding the manufacturer's recommended seat weight to prevent frame fatigue. Other must-haves are adjustable canopies as well as a seating option that is flexible for children of different ages and plenty of storage.

Ease of Use

Double strollers are often criticized as being heavy and difficult to put together. However, they have come a long ways since the 1980s. The most effective double strollers are sleek and offer different options for customization to suit your family's needs regardless of whether you're looking to purchase a tandem (single-file seating) or a side-by-side arrangement. They're also lightweight enough for travel and to fit in the trunks of cars and onto planes which allows them to be checked for gate access just like any other luggage.

A stroller that can navigate over a variety of surfaces and fits into small double buggy spaces is crucial for families living in urban areas in which space is limited and public transportation is the primary method of transportation.

We look at a range of factors when evaluating a stroller for ease of use, including how easy it is to fold and set up and also if it can be adjusted to accommodate family members of varying heights. We also look for an ample storage bin, reclining seats with easy access and adjustment, as well as a maximum weight limit of the canopy and seat. The Zoe Twin+ was rated highest in this category due to its large canopy with ample storage space and quick fold.

If you're looking for a light stroller that can easily fit into trunks of cars that are small the Mountain Buggy Nano Duo is an excellent option. It's one the lightest double strollers that we've ever tested. It folds up into an easy-to-carry, compact package. It's the lightest double umbrella-style stroller we've ever tested and is a great option for traveling. Certain airlines will allow you to gate-check this stroller.

A car seat that can accommodate two infants is essential for parents of twins. Some double strollers, such as the Graco DuoGlider Elite, allow you to use both infant car seats simultaneously which can save time and energy by eliminating the need to change children. You may also want to think about a tandem stroller which allows you to keep both children within sight and in earshot.

Comfort

If you want to make sure your children are comfortable on walks, a good quality, padded seat is crucial. You should choose an infant stroller with a recline backrest, adjustable backrest, and a wide seat that allows your child to sit up or stretch out. Consider a stroller with an ample undercarriage that can accommodate bags for storage or other things without affecting the placement of the seats.

The weight and size could also impact the performance of a double travel jogger. Look for a model with sturdy wheels and suspension that glides easily over rough surfaces. A quality double stroller will also turn in tight spaces, navigate narrow hallways, crowded subway gates and sidewalks. If you plan to utilize a double stroller often you should choose an option with a quick, one or two-step fold that can be tucked away in the trunk of a car or a compact vehicle.

Double strollers are commonly used by parents who travel with their children, particularly in urban areas that are heavily populous and where public transportation is common. A streamlined modular double stroller such as the CYBEX Gazelle S is a great choice for this situation, since it allows parents to mix and match seats as well as cot attachments and car seats to meet the changing needs of their family and needs, such as when babies outgrow their infant car seats.

Another alternative is a double umbrella stroller, that tends to be smaller and lighter than traditional models. They are ideal for travel as they can be folded up quickly and easily. They can also be gate checked on airplanes, and typically are able to meet Disney stroller size requirements. Some offer ample onboard storage space for toys, snacks and other items.

A side-byside double stroller is ideal for parents with twins, or siblings who are similar in age. This type of double-stroller is usually cheaper than one with a modular frame. The seats offer plenty of recline options, legroom and canopy covers that provide plenty of coverage. The only disadvantage of a stroller that is side-by-side is that it can be more difficult to maneuver through narrow corridors or in crowded sidewalks, and the wider frame can make it difficult to pass through some doorways.

Folding is easy

When selecting a double-travel stroller the most important thing to consider is the ease of folding. This is particularly important if you have to fold your stroller on a crowded sidewalk or in confined spaces. The best strollers come with an intuitive, simple folding operation with a few steps. They also fold without awkward complications that can result in slamming parts of the body or sliding. The Babyzen YOYO2 Connect Double and the Evenflo PivotXplore are some of our favorite double strollers that fold easily and compactly.

It is crucial to consider the duration of time you'll be using a double stroller. If you plan to keep your children in the same seat for at least the pre-school years, you may consider a side-by-side model that lets you add an bassinets for infants or car seats. If you think your kids will be ready to transition to separate seats before then, the double stroller convertible is a good option.

Some of the top double-strollers we reviewed offer a flat recline. This makes it simple for your children to lie down or have a snack while they are on the move. However, some strollers come with a different recline for each seat (the front seat of the UPPAbaby Vista Double v2 Double goes almost flat and the second seat remains upright). This can lead to kids fighting over which seat to take a seat in.

You'll also need to think about the size of your car's trunk, as some double travel strollers are a bit bulky and won't fit in the back of smaller vehicles. We suggest that you pick a double stroller which fits easily in your car's trunk and is able to be folded and put away when it's not in use. We also like double strollers that have a small double buggy, light footprint with a low weight and a simple design, like the ZOE Twin+. It's the most compact double stroller we've tested, and at just over 19 pounds it's among the lightest strollers that can still be able to meet airline gate-check luggage weight limits. It's Disney-sized approved!

Stores

The huge strollers from the 1980s may have given cheap double stroller strollers an unpopular image however they have evolved a great deal. Modern, sleek, modular strollers are available in tandem or side-by-side formats. They can be adapted to accommodate children from birth to kindergarten. Some models also accommodate infant car seats and an adjustable riding board. You might have to pay more initially, but the investment will pay off with flexibility and resales.
