Double Strollers: Ratings of Sources
Total of 24 Sources
For an explanation of how we rank reviews, see our ratings criteria page.
Strollers
by Denise and Alan Fields
by Denise and Alan Fields
Our AssessmentThis excellent book includes buyer's guides and ratings on all types of baby gear, including double strollers. The authors say they conduct hands-on testing as well as parent, manufacturer and retailer interviews. Parents posting to Amazon.com say this is the best baby gear book available, and it includes sections aimed to steer parents away from unnecessary features. The book's website (BabyBargainsBook.com) includes a forum where parents can comment on strollers. "Baby Bargains" devotes more detailed coverage to double strollers than ConsumerReports.org does.
Traditional Stroller Ratings
by Editors of ConsumerReports.org
by Editors of ConsumerReports.org
Our AssessmentIn its latest round of stroller tests, ConsumerReports.org rates three tandems and six side-by-side models (four regular and two umbrella-style). Each stroller is put through its paces in lab-based tests for maneuverability, ease of use and safety; durability is no longer rated. What this review lacks is any detail on individual models.
Double and Triple Stroller Reviews
by Contributors to Buzzillions.com
by Contributors to Buzzillions.com
Our AssessmentBuzzillions.com brings together user reviews from various external sources, including BabiesRUs.com and Strollers.com, combining scores into one aggregate rating. What makes Buzzillions particularly useful is that readers can filter reviews to suit their needs. For example, a mom of twins can choose to read only reviews by other parents of multiples.
Strollers -- Tandem
by Contributors to Amazon.com
by Contributors to Amazon.com
Our AssessmentAmazon.com allows owners to rate and review products. There's a good selection of double strollers here, especially in the lower price ranges. We found a large number of positive reviews for double strollers from Graco, Joovy, Baby Trend, UppaBaby and Kolcraft. Amazon.com is a good place to check for real-world owner experiences once your choice is narrowed to a few models.
Double Strollers
by Editors of Baby-Gaga.com
by Editors of Baby-Gaga.com
Our AssessmentBaby-Gaga.com rates 26 double strollers in four categories -- standard, umbrella, all-terrain and jogging. Each stroller gets a parent rating and a durability rating, based on at least 20 full-length user reviews. Reviews are balanced and detailed. A couple of the top picks have been discontinued.
Babble Best Picks: Double Strollers
by Editors of Babble.com
by Editors of Babble.com
Our AssessmentThe Baby Jogger City Select is judged the best double stroller overall in this test. Editors name eight additional picks in various categories (best affordable, best tandem travel system, etc.) after testing each stroller with three children ranging from 5 months to 3 years old, in both urban and rural environments. Readers choose their own top five picks, which are all different from the editors' picks.
The Best Double Strollers of 2010
by Editors of Canadian Family magazine
by Editors of Canadian Family magazine
Our AssessmentWe like the fact that parent testers (and their kid co-testers) are used for this five-stroller roundup in Canadian Family magazine. We also appreciate the highly specific -- if personal -- pros and cons for each double stroller. Picks range from the $810 Bumbleride Indie Twin to the $270 Joovy Caboose Ultralight.
Five Crown Royal Ratings!
by Janet McLaughlin
by Janet McLaughlin
Our AssessmentStroller maven Janet McLaughlin keeps tabs on all the trendy new strollers, including high-end imports. Her favorite double stroller is the Mountain Buggy Urban Double -- in fact, she likes it so much that she was the first U.S. customer to buy one of these New Zealand strollers. Write-ups focus on each stroller's standout features, but there's more enthusiasm here than criticism. This site would be more credible if the reviews were more balanced.
Double Stroller Showdown
by Abbi Perets
by Abbi Perets
Our AssessmentAbbi Perets, a Texas mother of five, rounds up some other parents to test three double strollers -- the Kolcraft Contours Options Tandem, Graco Twin Ipo and phil&teds Classic Inline with double kit. After judging each on price, style, safety, maneuverability, ease of use and convenience features, the Kolcraft wins. Testers find it flexible (with seven different seating configurations) and easy to use.
Stroller Review Roundup
by Editors of Celebrity Baby Blog
by Editors of Celebrity Baby Blog
Our AssessmentPeople.com's Celebrity Baby Blog includes six tandem and nine side-by-side double strollers in its latest roundup. Reviews here are meatier than the name would suggest, but we'd like to see some more formal testing, a rating system, and breakdowns of pros and cons for each model. Until then, this site is useful mainly as a secondary resource once the buyer has a model in mind.
Senior Editor Video Reviews
by Hollie Schultz
by Hollie Schultz
Our AssessmentBabyGizmo.com founder Hollie Schultz tests many strollers (although mostly from expensive brands) with her children, ages 1, 3 and 5. Her lengthy video reviews do a great job showing each stroller in action -- how it fits, folds, etc. Schultz does point out a few dislikes about the strollers, but her reviews are not highly critical.
Top 10 Side-by-Side Double Strollers for Twins
by Pamela Prindle Fierro
by Pamela Prindle Fierro
Our AssessmentPamela Prindle Fierro, About.com's guide to twins and multiples, lists 10 side-by-side double strollers as the top models here -- based on features only, no testing. A Maclaren model makes the list, but the author notes the hinge recall and provides a link for more information. (Note: ConsumerSearch is owned by About.com, but the two don't share an editorial affiliation.)
Top 10 Tandem Double Strollers for Twins
by Pamela Prindle Fierro
by Pamela Prindle Fierro
Our AssessmentThis roundup lists the author's top 10 picks for tandem strollers. Once again, there is no testing mentioned. Two of the models have been discontinued.

by Heather Corley
by Heather Corley
Our AssessmentOne double stroller makes this top-10 list -- the Baby Trend Sit N Stand Plus. Heather Corley, About.com's guide to baby products, chooses the strollers on this list based on features, with no mention of testing.
9 Best Strollers
by Margaret Williams
by Margaret Williams
Our AssessmentThe Valco Latitude Twin is the only double stroller recommended in this article. Write-ups are just one or two sentences for each stroller, and editors don't mention any testing.
Double Duty
by Jessica Hartshorn
by Jessica Hartshorn
Our AssessmentThis article picks four double strollers as "your best bets for traveling with two." Each model's write-up includes a photo, price and short explanation of what makes the stroller good or unique, but with no criticism to speak of.
Standard Strollers
by Contributors to LilaGuide.com
by Contributors to LilaGuide.com
Our AssessmentSeven double strollers have accumulated user reviews at LilaGuide.com. Three of these earn high average ratings of 4.5 stars (out of 5) with a dozen or more reviews posted: the Baby Trend Snap N Go Double stroller frame, Graco Quattro Tour Duo and BOB Revolution Duallie.
Double Stroller Reviews
by Contributors to Viewpoints.com
by Contributors to Viewpoints.com
Our AssessmentViewpoints.com doesn't yet have the review volume of sites such as Amazon.com, but the easy-to-navigate format makes it well worth a visit. Of the 34 double strollers rated here, seven earn more than 4 stars (out of 5) with more than 20 reviews posted -- and some have 100 or more reviews.
Strollers -- Double
by Contributors to Epinions.com
by Contributors to Epinions.com
Our AssessmentMost double strollers don't get more than one or two user reviews at Epinions.com, but twin strollers that have been on the market for a while have accumulated a fair number of ratings. The Graco Quattro Tour Duo, Kolcraft Contours Options Tandem and Joovy Caboose all maintain high ratings with 10 or more reviews.
Double Strollers Review and Compare
by Editors of Choice magazine
by Editors of Choice magazine
Our AssessmentAustralia's Choice magazine is roughly comparable in credibility and objectivity to ConsumerReports.org. Because this report is written for Australian readers -- and has not been updated since 2006 -- it has limited use for our report. Only two of the nine tested and rated double strollers are currently available in the U.S. The Mountain Buggy Urban Double is named a top pick. Editors have some safety concerns about the Peg-Perego Aria Twin, but it's worth noting that the stroller has undergone significant design changes since being tested for Choice.
Bobby's Best Baby Gear and Baby Products Reviews
by Editors of BobbysBest.com
by Editors of BobbysBest.com
Our AssessmentThis site is the work of "Bobby," a self-described product fanatic who has been a product-review blogger since March 2006. Reviews include criticism, and some are very detailed, but only a few models are covered. BobbysBest.com recommends three double strollers, all from phil&teds -- the Sport Buggy, Dash and Vibe.
The StrollerMama Scoop
by "Erika and Amy"
by "Erika and Amy"
Our AssessmentIf you're into strollers you'll enjoy this blog, which accompanies a retail site. Along with reviews, this is a good place for news on new and upcoming strollers, including jogging strollers and all-terrain strollers. However, no stroller is singled out as better than any other.
The Best Double Stroller Fits Your Needs and Scores High in All Categories
by Editors of Buy-A-Jogging-Stroller.com
by Editors of Buy-A-Jogging-Stroller.com
Our AssessmentThis site, which is run by the members of a "jogging stroller club," rates five double jogging strollers based on personal experience. Each entry lists the "good" and the "bad," along with a rating and a brief summary. The BOB Sport Utility Duallie gets the highest rating, and the BOB Revolution Duallie is called "a top notch multi-purpose double stroller."

by Contributors to Diapers.com
by Contributors to Diapers.com
