Double Strollers: Reviews

Reviewers say this twin stroller isn't the most durable, but the DuoGlider is still the best budget tandem stroller. Kids like the DuoGlider's "stadium seating," which lets the rear passenger sit a little higher for a… better view. Though it's fairly heavy (about 30 pounds), parents say it handles well and folds easily enough. More durable double strollers cost three times as much. The DuoGlider stroller can hold two SnugRide infant carriers, and has machine-washable seat pads and a fully reclining back seat. The front seat reclines partially.

Side-by-side strollers are easier to steer than tandem strollers, and the Inglesina's 29-inch width ensures it will fit through most doors and grocery aisles. The two seats recline independently (including nearly flat).… Parents say the 28-pound Twin Swift stroller steers extremely well, and it gets very high marks for durability. Some parents comment that they wish there was a cup holder and more storage space, but when collapsed, the Twin Swift is about the size of a golf bag -- significantly more compact than other double strollers.

On its own, the pricey three-wheeled phil&teds Sport Buggy single stroller has a ton of storage and a fully reclining seat, so it's appropriate for newborns. With the addition of the doubles kit, the phil&teds stroller… converts into a double stroller, with an additional seat above or below the main seat for an infant or a second toddler. Reviews say the Sport Buggy stroller is great for parents who anticipate needing a double stroller, but don't want the added width or length of a traditional double stroller. The Sport Buggy's swiveling front wheel makes it easy to maneuver.

Another budget alternative is a stroller like the Joovy Caboose or similar Baby Trend Sit N Stand LX. The Joovy Caboose is essentially a single stroller with a rear 'running board,' allowing an older child to stand or sit… behind the main seat. According to parents, this is a good solution if you have an older child (at least 2½ years old and no more than 40 inches tall) and a younger baby. Parents also say it works best if your older child likes to stand and isn't much of a napper. Although parents like the Joovy Caboose, you might want to try it in a store first.
