Guide to Selecting the Best Stroller For Twins

It’s a good idea to measure your front door so you know how wide you need your pram to be. Double buggies can be very bulky and generally measure up to around 82cm in width. But with standard external doorways measuring around 76 to 96cm, most double buggies will fit through doors. However, there are slimmer options available that will cope with most small spaces.
Side-by-side models provide equal comfort and visibility for both children, whereas tandem (or convertible pram), inline designs offer superior maneuverability through narrow store aisles. Prioritise models with ample storage, a straightforward folding mechanism, and robust suspension to ensure smooth daily outings. Whether you are accommodating twins or compact double stroller managing a toddler and a newborn, your choice in a double pram generally comes down to configuration.`

Check that you’re able to lift the stroller up and down stairs and kerbs – some strollers weigh 17kg or more. When you add your precious cargo into the mix, you could be pushing 30kg or even more uphill. Side-by-side double strollers have seats right next to each other. Tandem double strollers position one child in front and one child in the back; often, the seat in the back is higher than the seat in the front.
Products earn more points for adjustable crotch straps, easy rethreading, and buckles requiring only one hand. The Zoe Twin+ has a good-sized basket for a product of this type with a 10 lbs weight limit and seatback pockets. The Delta Children LX Side by Side does not have storage bins and relies on pockets.
Our pick for best double stroller goes to a familiar favorite—the Mockingbird single-to-double. In addition the what we mentioned above, the Mockingbird has a key double stroller design — it is NOT a side-by-side design. Allow us to shoot you straight—side by side doubles are enormously wide.

Even more impressive, the Gazelle S can fold with both seats still attached and offers the most compact fold in its category—a huge bonus when storage or car space is limited. Day-to-day use is made even easier with its smooth ride, thanks to advanced suspension, and an extra-large undercarriage basket that holds up to 30 lbs of cargo. Whether it’s packed with snacks, diaper bags, or your entire grocery haul, the Gazelle is ready for the load. Of course, no travel system is complete without infant car seats—plural, in this case. The included adapters are designed specifically for Nuna PIPA Series Infant Car Seats.
You can easily store it in your trunk with plenty of room to spare, which makes it a great option if you are traveling. As for the highlights of the stroller,  it can be folded with one hand with or without the seat attached and it automatically locks and stands upright when folded. I was also very impressed by the generously sized under basket which holds essentials up to 25 pounds and is easily accessible. I was able to store the diaper bag and my own bags with room to spare.

Even our top-ranking option, the lightweight, side-by-side UPPAbaby Minu Duo, has a reasonable price compared to the competition. However, it has fewer features, as it is designed primarily for travel. The Wonderfold Elite Pro is also a compelling option in terms  of value.
The second seat comes with both the upper and lower adapters so you are able to raise the seat and make room for the second. Many other strollers on the market require you to purchase these accessories separately which adds up in cost. Tammy Jacks has 15+ years' experience in the publishing industry, enjoying a long and fruitful career as Managing Editor and Health & Beauty Editor for Woman & Home magazine in South Africa. We tasked mum-of-two Liz, mum-of-two Sarah and mum-of-one with putting the buggies through their paces with their babies and toddlers, with ages ranging from seven months to four years old.

We tested various factors, including ease of use, maneuverability, comfort, and more, to find the right stroller for your specific needs and budget. We put each double stroller through 50 individual tests to inform our ratings. We've purchased and tested more than 190 strollers since 2013, including more than 43 double strollers. We considered over 100 contenders and chose 20 top doubles to purchase and test in our side-by-side, months-long comparison. We test each stroller for ease of use, maneuverability, weight, folded size, quality, and more, so we can provide the details you need to find the right stroller for your family. "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.
How much a stroller weighs and how small it is when folded is the heart of what makes one product stand out from the rest in a lightweight stroller. Many parents require a stroller compact enough to fit in small spaces for travel or commuting. It should be easy to carry, quick to fold, and fit on public transportation. Finding a top-performing, double, lightweight stroller that is also a great value is somewhat straightforward compared to other gear. A few top-performing options have wallet-friendly prices in this review, including the Delta Children LX Side by Side, with adequate functionality and one of the lowest prices. It is a good choice for indoor adventures on flat surfaces with less need for features for comfort and convenience.
What I love about this stroller other than the pure ingenuity of it is how easy it is to fold, and how compact it is when folded in spite of being one beast of a stroller. It’s still on the heavy side, but thanks to the placement of the front piece of the chassis and the handlebar, it’s easy enough to hoist into the back of my SUV. While I wouldn’t recommend this stroller to a city dweller who is going to need to haul it up and down subway stairs, it’s such a modern convenience that it does make everyday life much easier. Maneuvering this stroller does take a bit of communication between you and the apparatus. It’s not a compact stroller, and when you add the weight of two children and some luggage, it takes a bit of learning to get steering just right. However, once you learn how, it’s a luxurious ride for your little ones.

Compared to other similar strollers on the market, the Baby Jogger double stroller is lightweight and it has a one-step compact fold. The telescoping and height-adjustable handlebar are unique features of this stroller that you may not find in other strollers. If you live in the suburbs, a rural area, or will mostly be driving with your twins then I recommend getting a stroller that can snap two car seats into it. On the other hand, if you are in a big city, don’t have a car, and mostly walk or take public transportation you might prefer the bassinet-style stroller for a newborn. Models optimized for absolute equality (like the Mountain Buggy Duet’s compact width) may frustrate families with age-gap children. Conversely, tandem strollers meant for different-aged siblings don’t serve twins well.
