8 Best Double Strollers for Easily Getting Around With Two Kids, Based on 6 Years of Testing

✔️ WHY I LIKE IT: When you're traveling with kids, on vacation, or an all-day outing to a theme park or zoo, this is clutch. Each seat can hold a child up to 60 pounds. It's lightweight and meets Disney size requirements.

✔️ WHAT TO KNOW: Zoe's side-by-side has leatherette bumper bars where you can hang a toy (or tie on a Disney balloon). But you can also swap them out and have each kid get a cup holder and snack holder instead.

One reviewer who brought it to the theme parks said, "It was a breeze to set up and carry." The fold is super fast and takes only seconds. Each seat reclines separately. The sunshades have peekaboo windows.

✔️ TESTING NOTES: A parent of twins told us, "I'm deeply obsessed with our Zoe Twin and would not have survived transporting my twins around without it." Its size and ease makes it particularly convenient for city families and any family that is frequently in and out of a car.

The stroller's wheels are not great on rough terrain, and the basket is on the small side. But testers appreciate the parent cup holder and adjustable handlebar. "It is so light and easy to manage on your own," one tester said. "This fits in my trunk and still leaves me plenty of space for other items."

✔️ MORE TO CONSIDER: The brand makes a similar stroller with three seats. If you buy the $55 car seat adaptor, this can hold one car seat at a time from brands including Nuna, Joie, Maxi-Cosi, Cybex, Britax, and Evenflo. There are other useful accessories too, like a snack tray (get one for each kid).

✔️ WHY I LIKE IT: Vista V3 works for one, two, or three kids. It's a premium choice, with wheels that handle most terrain, magnetic harness clips, a giant basket that can hold up to 30 pounds, and other features that make everyday life easier.

✔️ WHAT TO KNOW: Push one kid in the seat it comes with. Then add accessories: A bassinet (or two, for twins, like my cousin did), a ride board (this is how former Lab expert Rachel Rothman, a mom of three, pushed her three kids), or the brand's car seat, which can be added to make this a travel system.

There are ultimately more than 30 configurations. Reversible seats mean either kid can be parent-facing or facing front. The Vista V3 has an extendable canopy and a no-rethread harness, which makes it simple to adjust the straps as your child grows.

✔️ TESTING NOTES: Add accessories, then later take them away. "We can easily use it as a single or a double depending on how my oldest is feeling on any given day," a tester said. "It's a little tough to maneuver because it becomes so long as a double but I still like it for its flexibility."

"We used a Vista for years as our kids were 16 months apart and were pretty happy with it overall. It saw a lot of use and abuse and withstood it well," a parent friend told me. Folding, lifting, and storing this requires extra effort compared with smaller, more lightweight options. But it can handle most any terrain, including snow, cobblestone streets, and more.

✔️ MORE TO CONSIDER: This is compatible with UPPAbaby infant car seats including the Aria V2. Other car seats, from brands like Chicco and Nuna, work with adaptors. Add the UPPAbaby RumbleSeat to turn the stroller into a tandem. Add the Vista PiggyBack Ride-Along Board to the back so an older child can stand.

✔️ WHY I LIKE IT: Some parents prefer the side-by-side setup, rather than having the kids stacked in tandem back-to-back. The kids each have a clear view of the road ahead, and for parents, it's easy to check on both kids with a single glance.

✔️ WHAT TO KNOW: For a double stroller under $600, this has all the bells and whistles, including wide seats that recline fully and separately, wide individual canopies, sun covers for each kid's legs, mesh openings for airflow, magnetic buckles, and more—even a travel bag.

It’s ideal for twins because it comes with a built-in bassinet feature. This makes it safe to use from birth, without any add-ons. But it's also great for siblings, because each seat can be reclined and set up very differently.

TEST RESULTS: A parent told us, “This is the best stroller I’ve ever used (and I’ve used many)!” Another said, “We loved the one-handed fold, the large storage compartment, and how smoothly it rode. Both of our kids were happy in it.”

Testers praised the size. "Small enough to fit in the trunk without taking up precious cargo space. The travel bag it came with was great and the instructions to remove the back wheels to put it in the bag were easy to follow," said one parent. "I’ve use umbrella strollers that still took up an awkward amount of trunk space. This was a huge improvement."

One caveat is that the basket is on the small side, and can only hold up to 20 pounds. "It would not fit a large shopping bag," a tester said.

✔️ MORE TO CONSIDER: The Bombi car seat adaptor works with 25+ different car seats, but the double stroller can only hold one car seat at a time. Each kid can get their own snack tray though!

✔️ WHY I LIKE IT: If you want something comfy, durable, and long-lasting, I've had many friends happy with the City Mini. It has roomy seats plus rubber tires that smoothly glide on sidewalks and can handle park paths, too.

✔️ WHAT TO KNOW: To fold, you pull up on straps, one on each seat, and the whole thing folds in half. You store it standing upright. It takes up some floor space, but the fold takes only a second or two. Unfolding just requires lifting a latch and shaking it out.

Other features to note: The two large canopies have peekaboo windows so you can easily check on each child, and there are deep leg wells so each sibling can rest their calves. The seats each recline nearly flat and independently of each other, so one child can lay down while the other sits up.

✔️ TESTING NOTES: Rothman, who used the City Mini, said it works with a baby and a toddler—it can fit both easily. The handlebar "easily adjusted between me at 5'3" and my husband at 6'1," Rothman said.

Its downside is that the basket is completely under the seats and a bit difficult to access. (You have to bend down and reach over.) But you can stash things in the pockets behind each seat

✔️ MORE TO CONSIDER: Despite the brand name, this is not for jogging. If you like this brand and intend to run with your double stroller, check out the Baby Jogger Summit X3 with its bicycle-like wheels and safety strap.

Accessories meant for the single version of the City Mini do not necessarily work for the double, so buy extras such as a car seat adaptor carefully. The City Mini GT2 requires an adaptor even for the brand's own car seat and for others, including Graco, Cybex, and Maxi-Cosi. Only one seat can hold a car seat.

✔️ WHY I LIKE IT: Chicco's Bravo For2 has a ride board built in so that your chatty eldest (age 2 1/2 or older) can either stand and use the backrest support or sit on the cute jump seat and face you. It's an under-$400 option.

✔️ WHAT TO KNOW: Up front, there's the convenience of a snack tray for your youngest. In the handlebar, there's a parent console with a compartment and two cupholders for yourself.

The Bravo For2 can hold any of the popular Chicco KeyFit infant car seats without an adaptor, turning it into an easy travel system for the infant months.

This folds quickly using a mechanism at the middle of the stroller, and it stands by itself in folded mode. The cargo basket can be a little hard to get into if your older kid is in the back. The treaded, rubber tires do well on sidewalks.

✔️ TESTING NOTES: Online reviewers like this especially for their older child, who gets to feel "big" and is free to hop on and off, depending on whether they want to walk or ride. It also serves the up-front passenger well with the exception of the fact that the front seat can't recline if a sibling is in the back.

✔️ MORE TO CONSIDER: Chicco also has a modular stroller, the Chicco Corso Flex, which can go from a single to double. In one of its many configurations it, too, has a ride-on board on the back.

✔️ WHY I LIKE IT: This is built for jogging, running, and hiking rough terrain, with giant, nubby tires, a safety strap, and an adjustable handlebar.

✔️ WHAT TO KNOW: This is also an option for older or heavier kids, up to age 6 and up to 50 pounds, who still need an occasional ride. There are deep leg-rest wells, and the canopies are giant. There's also both a large cargo basket underneath plus storage pockets on the back of each seat.

For safety, the brand suggests you don't jog with a baby inside until they are 8 months old, so that they don't get jostled. If you're just taking this for a hike, however, you can use the stroller earlier in babyhood.

✔️ TESTING NOTES: My friends who are avid joggers have used this and loved it. Online reviewers, many of whom chose the Revolution as their everyday stroller, say they like its quality and durability, and that it can last for years.

Users say it glides smoothly and is easy to maneuver. The back wheels are 16 inches across, so this sits high off the ground. Those big wheels help it glide but also make this more challenging to fold and store.

✔️ MORE TO CONSIDER: BOB sells car seat adaptors for three brands: Chicco, Graco, and Britax. One seat then holds the car seat, and the other gets a snack tray, so it's best for when you're pushing a baby and toddler.
