Double Stroller Buying Guide

Weighing Options
Umbrella strollers are lightweight, able to open and close quickly, easy to navigate through crowds, and require minimal trunk space. All-day outings might require a heavier double stroller with large storage baskets and options that support car seats. Jogging strollers have swivel front wheels that lock in place when jogging and unlock and rotate for use in tight places. Double jogging strollers are effective on most kinds of terrain and are easily pushed with one hand. With any double stroller, consider size for easy passage through standard-size doors.

Meeting the Need
Standard double strollers have larger wheels, roomier seats, and more storage. They require more trunk space and can be difficult to handle in large crowds. Many consumers favor sleek double strollers loaded with conveniences and engineered for safety. The price tag can be hefty. Lightweight, more affordable double strollers (weighing under 20 pounds) offer multi-position seating, five-point harnesses, roomy seats and storage, universal car seat attachment straps, all-wheel suspension, one-hand steering, one-hand fold mechanism, removable trays, armrests and canopies - all in a strong, anodized aluminum frame and sleek profile.
