The best double strollers

01 — Two children, side by side

Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double

50 lb per seat, all-wheel suspension and a one-step fold at 29.25 in wide — the side-by-side double that actually fits through a doorway.

The hard constraint on a side-by-side double is width, because a stroller that will not go through a shop door is a stroller you stop using. At 29.25 in open the City Mini GT2 Double clears standard doorways, and it carries 50 lb per seat for 100 lb total, which outlasts most doubles. The one-step fold is the feature parents rate highest in daily use: lift both in-seat straps and it folds itself, which is achievable with a child on your hip. Forever Air tires and all-wheel suspension handle broken pavement and gravel paths without needing a full jogging stroller. It is 34.7 lb, so lifting it into a boot is a two-handed job, and both seats recline independently but neither lies fully flat, so newborn use needs a car seat or bassinet adapter. For twins or two close-in-age children, this is the default.

02 — Running on pavement

Thule Urban Glide 3

26.2 lb with a compact fold — the jogging stroller that is still pleasant to live with when you are not running.

The BOB is the better trail stroller; the Urban Glide 3 is the better everyday one. It is 26.2 lb against the BOB's 28 lb, folds to 34.6 by 22.8 by 12.2 in, and handles beautifully on pavement and packed paths. The number to read carefully is the capacity: 75 lb total but a 49 lb maximum child weight, which is lower than the BOB's 75 lb per child and will end this stroller's useful life earlier for a tall kid. The cargo basket holds 15 lb with a zip-top cover, which is more usable than most. Choose it if your running is roads and park paths and the stroller also has to be your daily one; choose the BOB if the ground is genuinely rough.

03 — Twins

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Modular

Takes two infant car seats and reconfigures 23 ways at 55 lb per seat — the mainstream-priced answer for twins.

Twins break most travel systems, because two newborns need two car seats on one frame from day one and most frames take one. The Pivot Xpand takes two, converts from single to double without tools, and offers up to 23 configurations, with 55 lb per seat — the highest per-seat capacity of the systems here. The canopy fits children up to 43 in. It is long, heavy and awkward in tight spaces, which is the price of an inline double, and the configurations that sound most useful generally need accessories bought separately. One thing to check: Evenflo recalled the Revolve180 LiteMax NXT travel system and the All4One seat in the past year. Neither names this stroller, but if you buy a bundle, check the exact infant seat model and its manufacture date against NHTSA's record.

04 — A toddler plus a baby

Joovy Caboose Too

A tandem where the older child rides or stands behind, which is the right shape when your two children are at different stages rather than the same one.

Side-by-side doubles assume two children who both want to sit. A sit-and-stand assumes what is actually more common: a baby who must be strapped in and a three-year-old who wants to get on and off six times a walk. The Caboose Too takes 45 lb per seat for 90 lb total, weighs 27.5 lb, and is narrow because the children sit in line rather than beside each other — so it goes anywhere a single stroller goes. The costs of the tandem layout are real: it is long, which makes tight turns awkward, and the rear child's view is the back of the front seat. It also handles worse on rough ground than a proper all-terrain double. For a toddler-plus-baby household in a city, the shape is right.

05 — Cheapest workable double

Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double 2.0

50 lb in both positions at the lowest price of any double here — basic, heavy, and genuinely useful if the budget is the constraint.

Doubles are expensive, and a family who has just discovered they need one often has not budgeted for it. The Sit N' Stand Double 2.0 takes 50 lb in both the front and rear positions, which is more than the Joovy, and costs a fraction of the Baby Jogger. It also accepts infant car seats, which matters in the newborn months. What you are accepting is weight, a less refined push, plastic wheels that transmit every crack in the pavement, and a fold that needs two hands and some patience. It is the right answer when the alternative is no double at all, and the wrong one if you will be pushing it several miles a day.
