9 Best Double Strollers to Carry Your Growing Crew with Ease

For ultimate traveling-with-two flexibility, What to Expect community members overwhelmingly recommend the Baby Jogger City Select 2. This is a convertible stroller with up to 24 different seating configurations. Parents love that it offers options for use with a single child, twins, a toddler and an infant, and even three kids (twins and a toddler or an infant and two toddlers) with the addition of a riderboard.

This is a sleek, upscale-looking stroller with a number of high-end features that make it a pleasure to use. Parents rave about the telescoping handlebar and one-handed fold, which is unusually compact. There’s also a roomy storage basket, UPF 50+ canopy with a peekaboo window and reclining seats.

What’s more, the all-terrain tires and narrow frame make it somewhat easier to maneuver than many other single-to-double strollers on the market. For that reason, it’s a particularly good choice for families who live in cities or often need to navigate tricky terrain.

The City Select 2’s biggest downside is that it’s sold as a single, and you do need to invest in a number of attachments to make it work for two kids. All together, that can get a little confusing — and expensive (although taking advantage of Black Friday, Cyber Monday or Prime Day sales, as well as using a registry completion discount, can help make it more affordable). Here are the attachments you’ll need based on your family’s situation:

• To add a second seat: You’ll need to purchase the City Select 2 Second Seat Kit $200).
• To attach an infant car seat: Reviewers appreciate how compatible this stroller is with a variety of car seats, an especially helpful feature for parents of multiples who drive often. You can purchase the stroller and Baby Jogger’s GO 2 infant car seat together as part of a travel system bundle, which also includes the necessary adapters. Other compatible car seats include those from Britax, Chicco, Cybex, Graco, Maxi-Cosi, Nuna, Peg Perego and UPPAbaby (check the full list of car seat compatibility on the retailer’s website). The most cost-effective way to use this stroller with an infant car seat is to purchase it as part of the travel system bundle, which includes the City Select 2 stroller, the GO 2 infant car seat and adapters (which you can also purchase separately). For twins, you’ll need to purchase a second compatible infant car seat and adapters.
• To transport a third child: Have a newborn and a toddler and suspect you may try for number three down the line? The City Select 2 can convert to a triple with the addition of the glider board.

You can begin using both seats of the Graco DuoGlider Double Stroller from birth, making it an especially great choice for twins. Simply lock your Graco infant car seat into the stroller seats and you're ready to go — no additional tools, parts or adapters required, which adds to its overall affordability.

The tandem stroller features stadium-style seating, meaning the child in the rear seat sits slightly higher for an improved view. Each seat reclines independently and includes its own canopy and footrest, maximizing and personalizing your little ones’ comfort. However, due to the tandem design, the number of seating configurations is limited compared to other models on the market. This design also makes the stroller somewhat bulky.

Many What to Expect parents praise the one-hand fold for its ease of use. Additionally, it’s lighter than most other double strollers, making it feasible to lift and place into a car trunk with one hand once folded. Parents also appreciate the roomy and easily accessible storage basket—a must-have when you're packing for two.

As a bonus, the stroller includes a built-in parent tray with a cup holder and a closable compartment to keep essentials within easy reach.

Finally, a low price tag doesn’t mean you’re compromising on ride quality. Parents agree that the Graco DuoGlider provides a smooth ride, even on uneven terrain, thanks to its suspension system and lockable front swivel wheels.

The BOB Gear Revolution Flex 3.0 is a popular choice among What to Expect parents. The stroller’s adjustable suspension system and swivel locking front wheel glides around corners, leading to a smoother ride for baby (and an easier run for you). Your little ones might even fall asleep during your jog.

The padded handlebar is adjustable to nine positions, so it’s guaranteed to be a fit no matter your height — and it's easy to change up on the fly. The seats recline and there’s a large underseat storage area. It has a maximum weight of 100 pounds, which is on the higher end.

Jogging and double strollers are each known for being bigger and bulkier than other types of strollers, and this one is no exception. While parents do say the Flex 3.0 Duallie is large, most find that it makes up for size with maneuverability — multiple What to Expect parents say the wheels can push through pretty much everything, making it a great choice for families who need their everyday stroller to navigate tough terrain.

You can also opt to clip in one BOB or Britax infant car seat with adapters. (Just keep in mind that only one infant car seat can be attached, so you won’t be able to use this stroller with newborn twins.) With the infant car seat clipped in, you should wait to use this as a jogging stroller until baby is at least 8 weeks old.

To say What to Expect parents love the Mockingbird Single-To-Double Stroller 2.0 would be an understatement. And not just community members — it was dubbed Best Strollerby our editorial team for its affordability, smooth ride and ability to be used from birth  thanks to the Infant Seat Insert ($55) or Bassinet attachment ($185). 

This single-to-double stroller is often compared to the Uppababy Vista V3, with parents noting it's a more affordable yet equally convenient option. Priced at $600, it features leather accents and is made of durable materials typically found on higher-end models. But it’s not just the aesthetic appeal that makes this a notable stroller. Leah Rocketto, What to Expect’s Associate Commerce Director, says the Mockingbird glides smoothly—even over bumpy pavement.

Although it’s not particularly lightweight, parents report that it’s still easy to maneuver. Leah was surprised at how little trouble she had pushing it with her 3-year-old daughter and 4-year-old niece on board.

The Mockingbird 2.0 doesn’t accommodate two children out of the box. To use it with more than one child, you’ll need to purchase additional attachments. Here’s what you’ll need:

• To add a second seat: Purchase the Mockingbird 2nd Seat Kit 2.0 ($199), which also includes necessary second-seat adapters.
  
• To attach an infant car seat: Purchase the Mockingbird Car Seat Adapter ($55), which is compatible with a long list of car seats from Baby Jogger, Britax, Chicco and Graco.
• To transport a third child: The Mockingbird 2.0 can convert to a triple with the addition of the Riding Board Stroller ($140). 
  

If you’d prefer a side-by-side double stroller that lets you push two newborns in bassinets from day one, the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin Bassinet and Seat Stroller stands apart. It’s one of just a few double strollers to offer this configuration (plus, you can also opt for two side-by-side infant car seats). The Donkey 5 also has one of the higher maximum weights of any double stroller on this list — children can ride in it until they’re 48.5 pounds, so you’ll get plenty of use out of it over the years.

Bugaboo is known for being a luxury stroller brand, and the Donkey 5 doesn’t disappoint. Reviewers praise the well-made frame, solid and highly maneuverable wheels, easy fold and sleek design. A top-mentioned feature is the mesh bassinet panel, which lets newborns look out at the world and keeps them cool on hot days.

Like other side-by-side double strollers, the Donkey 5 is reasonably wide. Some parents dislike that it doesn’t always fit through doorways (particularly if you have two infant car seats clipped in), though others find it slimmer and more maneuverable than comparable side-by-side strollers. 

The biggest downside is the price, which is on the very high end for a double stroller. While the Donkey 5 is undeniably expensive, the listing price does include more than most other strollers do. Two newborn bassinets and seats are included, which can often cost several hundred dollars extra.

For a side-by-side double stroller that’s travel-friendly but still sturdy enough to double (no pun intended) as your everyday workhorse, look no further than the Zoe The Twin V2 (which was recently updated from the original Twin+ model). What to Expect parents rave about this stroller’s versatility. It comes with two side-by-side seats, but should your family grow in the future, The Twin V2 can expand to add a third or even fourth seat. Plus, the improved model can also accommodate one infant car seat, so you can use it from day one with a newborn and a toddler.

Unlike many side-by-side double strollers, this one is narrow enough to fit through doorways — something that can be hugely important when you’re traveling and navigating less-predictable environments. It’s also brilliantly lightweight: Compared to most of the other double strollers on this list, many of which weigh 25 pounds or above, The Twin + is a mere 23 pounds. Extra plus: It's Disney approved, meaning you won't have to downsize if you go to the Magic Kingdom for vacation.

Zoe offers a wide range of accessory options (including a storage backpack and stroller-carry straps), but parents appreciate that quite a few are included: The parent cup holder, two child cup holders, a snack up and a double belly bar come with your purchase. Even on quite a few luxury strollers, you spend extra for those accessories.

Although it functions like a full-size stroller in many ways, keep in mind that The Twin V2 is still on the smaller side, so that comes with a few disadvantages. Also, while there is an under-carriage basket, it’s on the smaller side for a double stroller (though you can purchase the parent organizer to gain a little more storage space).

If you don’t need a full-size double stroller with lots of extra features, the Delta Children Side-by-Side is a good choice. You can’t beat this umbrella-style double stroller when it comes to affordability. It’s surprisingly durable and easy to maneuver for the price point, though some taller parents say the handles are on the low side.

Crucially, the lightweight umbrella frame is also easy to fold — and ultra compact when folded, too. This makes it not only one of the best double strollers for travel but also one of the best double strollers for times when you aren’t going anywhere. Once folded, it’s small enough to fit in most closets, so you won’t be tripping over it in your house or garage.

Another plus: Its narrow frame means it's one of the few side-by-side double strollers that can fit through most doorways. Just keep in mind that it’s low frills with only cup holders (no trays), small canopies and zero underseat storage. It fits kids up to 35 pounds each.

Families expecting a new baby who also have a toddler at home are often faced with a tricky decision: Should they upgrade to a double stroller or stick with a single? The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand is an excellent option for parents in this predicament because it combines the best of both worlds. You get the flexibility and extra storage space of a double stroller without having to commit to the added bulk.

What to Expect parents say the Baby Trend is ideal for families with children spaced a few years apart. A newborn can ride in the front seat using an infant car seat, then transition to the regular seat once they’re 6 months old or able to hold their head up independently. (That said, you can also place an infant car seat on the back seat for twins!) For older toddlers who don’t love to be strapped in, you can remove the rear seat to create a bench for relaxed sitting or a standing platform. This clever design offers a variety of riding options for your older child, depending on how interested they are in walking versus riding. And parents can rest assured knowing that both seats include a 5-point safety harness for maximum security.

Flexibility aside, parents say the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand is easy to push and offers several thoughtful features. Most notably, it has a large storage basket and a parent console that holds your phone and two drinks.

And as an added bonus, you don’t need to purchase any extras to make it compatible for two children—as long as you’re using a Baby Trend infant car seat.

As your kids get older and adventures become more frequent, a stroller wagon can be a worthwhile investment. Although big and bulky, parents of older toddlers say stroller wagons are ideal for leisurely neighborhood walks or trips to the zoo. Many find the Baby Trend Navigator PRO to be well worth the money.

This sturdy wagon offers built-in seating for two, with each seat equipped with a 3-point safety harness to keep little ones secure. Worried about comfort? Don’t be. Each seat has extra padding, which can be folded down into a flat mat when not in use. Bonus: there’s still plenty of room for kids’ legs, snacks, and a toy or two.

Adjustable canopies cover the wagon to protect your kids from the sun and feature a mesh peek-a-boo window to keep them cool—while also allowing you to keep an eye on them. For added airflow, there’s also side ventilation.

What parents especially love are the multiple steering modes. First, a traditional stroller handle lets you push the wagon (and includes extra storage). Then, there’s a front handle that lets you pull the wagon. This handle can be tucked under the frame when not in use.

While it doesn’t fold down to the most compact size, the wagon does fold flat for easy storage.
