Choosing a 3 Wheel Double Stroller
It's one of the top side-by-side strollers in our testing that offers a smooth ride through rough terrain and effortless turns in tight spaces. It's also a great jogger, and folds up easily with the self-standing option.
However, it comes with double-action brakes that require the pressing of two pedals. It also does not accept infant car seats. This could be a deal breaker for some parents.
Safety Features
For those who plan to take a stroll or jogs,
3 wheel stroller with seat-wheel double strollers offer greater stability than four-wheel models. This is due to the fact that they have two wheels on the ground at all times, while some four-wheel strollers permit one wheel to rise off the ground when you are navigating curbs or other obstacles. Three-wheelers weigh more than four-wheelers. This can be a problem if the weight is a problem.
Some
lightweight 3 wheel buggy-wheel strollers feature pneumatic (air-filled) tires they are an excellent choice for people who plan to run and want a more comfortable ride than the plastic hard wheels found on some products. However, they need regular maintenance and checks of air pressure (as well as a tire pump and repair kit) because they are more susceptible to losing air than their traditional tires. The recommended pressures are available in your stroller's manual or on the manufacturer's website.
Strollers that have adjustable handlebars can reduce the strain on the neck, arms and back of the person driving them. The ideal position is near your belly button, with your elbows slightly bent and hands relaxed. A lockable front swivel can also be helpful for moving across bumpy or uneven surfaces.
A well-functioning brake is vital and you should test your stroller's parking brake regularly to ensure it engages quickly and easily. Also, consider whether the stroller has a peek-a-boo window and/or a recliner. Both of these options are great for parents with toddlers or infants who require a nap while walking around.
The best double strollers for jogging include an option called adjustable tracking. This feature helps keep the front wheel running straight while jogging. It prevents veering that is constant, and reduces the necessity to keep adjusting your posture when running.
With the large size and weight of most double strollers, it's important to ensure the dimensions of their folded versions can fit into your trunk or in your home storage space prior to making a purchase. You should also check the stroller's weight as well as the cost of shipping and handling, as these will add up quickly. Finally, consider any extras you might need or wish to avoid, such as the built-in speaker and snack tray, which make the stroller heavier and less aerodynamic and can pose a danger of tripping for children who are just starting out.
Maneuverability
When choosing a stroller mobility is an important consideration. Due to their weight, size and the additional passengers double strollers are more difficult to maneuver around tight spaces. This can be frustrating when trying to navigate busy sidewalks or supermarket stores with children with you.
While some of our most-loved strollers -- like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double -- are incredibly easy to push, others are difficult due to their flexing frames and wide-set wheels. Double strollers are typically heavier than other double strollers. This makes them more difficult to transport and carry when not in use.
There are many strollers that offer outstanding maneuverability without breaking the bank. We like the phil&teds dots and double kit that allows you to transform your stroller that you are using for jogging into an inline double buggy that is compatible with infant car seats. It's a great choice for growing families and those with space limitations.
The Baby Jogger City Mini Quad, and Graco SnugRide 30 Double Stroller are both excellent models for narrow sidewalks. The latter model even comes with an integrated cargo basket that helps you stay organized on your walks.
Another stroller that can be maneuvered is the Jeep Destination Double Side x Side Ultralight. It's a light stroller that is easy to fold and set up. We love that it is compact when folded and comes with storage bags. Additionally, it's compatible with certain infant car seats -- including the fav Graco SnugRide 40 Elite Double with the purchase of an adapter (sold separately).
Check out the UPPAbaby vista double v2 if you're looking for a stroller that will grow with your family. This unique stroller is designed to be used as double stroller and bike trailer, allowing you to take on outdoor adventures with two kids simultaneously. It's also compatible with a variety of infant car seats, including the Nuna and Maxi-Cosi however, it requires an additional adapter, which must be purchased separately.
Comfort
If you plan to walk for hours with your kids you need an item that is comfortable for you and your children. A quality double stroller will provide smooth riding, as well as support for both seats with adjustable five-point safety harnesses and have plenty of storage for snacks and toys.
A padded handle is essential for a comfortable and easy pushing. A front wheel that swivels is beneficial, especially for an jogger, to maneuver around tight spaces and curbs. And, the possibility of locking the front swivel wheel to ensure more comfort is perfect to take your family on a long stroll or jog.
Another important feature to look for in double strollers is an intuitive folding operation that can be accomplished using just one hand. In our tests, the UPPAbaby View double v2, Evenflo Pivot Xplore Wagon and Joovy Zoom X2 Double had the most effective folding systems.
During the testing process we searched for a variety of seating configurations to accommodate the different needs of families. The UPPAbaby Vista Double won our top spot for this model, since it can fit twins in two separate infant car seats or accommodate a third rider by adding a riding board. It is also the quickest and most easy to assemble of the ones we tested, taking only 15 minutes.
The storage in most double strollers we tested was adequate, however some are more accessible than others. The UPPAbaby Vista Double and Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite come with large accessible baskets that can hold up to 30 lbs. Evenflo Pivot Xplore comes with an enormous storage bin. The Joovy Caboose comes with a smaller bin that is difficult to reach because it's under the sliding rear seats.

Stores
A good double stroller will have ample storage space for you, your kids' snacks and drinks, and all the other supplies you may need. The amount of storage differs dramatically between models. Some, like the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite (the lightest stroller in our test group) and the brand-new Summer Infant 3D Pac CS+
double buggy 3 wheels Stroller only have hanging storage bags on the backs of each seat plus two parent cupholders. Some, such as the UPPAbaby Vista Double or Joovy ScooterX2, have large baskets with easy access.
Some of the best double strollers come with additional features, such as reclined seats and canopies that extend, that allow you to adjust your child's ride according to the weather or mood. A lot of these strollers are compatible with car seats, so you can use them right away and then add the glider board or child seat when your family expands.
Compact 4-wheel strollers have been designed to be light, easy to fold, store and maneuver. They are ideal for parents who want to use their strollers to run around town, or for short trips to the parks. They generally cost less than jogging strollers, but they may lack the additional features and space you may require if you intend to engage in more prolonged outdoor activities with your kids.
