Parents require double strollers that are simple and quick to fold up and transport, making life easier when traveling with children. Side-by-side or inline styles typically provide this convenience, while compact folded sizes allow gate checking on airplanes.
Summer Infant’s brand-new Summer Infant 3D Pac CS+ Double is another lightweight tri-fold stroller, making it easy to fit in most car trunks while meeting Disney-size requirements. Parents love its extra storage space and higher comfort-designed handles – two features parents appreciate immensely.
1. Baby Jogger City Mini GT2
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 stroller is one of the most beloved strollers among parents. Built to handle any terrain with its quick, compact fold and non-flat all-terrain tires (8.5″) that provide superior traction on any surface, plus its suspension system, which creates a smoother ride for your child while making maneuverability over bumpy roads or sidewalks easier, it remains one of the top sellers among parent.
The stroller also has a spacious lower storage compartment that’s great for keeping diaper bags and shopping items handy, though some parents found the bar between bins limited their ability to fit more oversized items inside. Although not an issue in itself, if running errands is something you need to consider, perhaps another stroller would be better suited.
Another fantastic feature of this stroller is its hand brake, located conveniently on the side of its frame, making it easier for parents to use with any shoe type without fear of scratches on their shoes. Furthermore, there is also a sun canopy for ample protection from sunlight that’s easy to open or close.
This double stroller is compatible with the City Go infant car seat and includes adapters. In addition, you can add accessories such as Glider Boards, Parent Consoles, Foot Muffles, and Child Tray for even greater convenience. Unfortunately, it’s not designed for jogging or all-terrain use and doesn’t include a bassinet or carrycot – though they do sell separately – though these are its only flaws; nonetheless, it remains an excellent option for families that need something that can take them from sidewalk to muddy petting zoo and beyond!
2. Joovy Kooper X2
The Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is an affordable solution with all the features parents desire, including its three-part fold, comfortable seating for two children, and UPF 50 sun protection from any angle. Furthermore, peekaboo windows allow your little ones to take in all that your next family adventure offers!
This stroller is tailored explicitly for tall children, featuring a high seatback and footrest to provide maximum comfort. Additionally, the seats are spacious and can recline into various positions so your child can find their ideal spot to rest their head. Furthermore, its canopies feature large panels covering both seats to shield them from direct sunlight.
A great feature of the Joovy Kooper X2 double stroller is its spacious storage basket that can store all of your children’s necessities during long trips. In addition, there’s an extra storage basket behind the rear child seat for added space – not forgetting snack trays and cup holders to ensure both children are entertained during your journey!
Each seat on this stroller can be individually adjusted using a draw-string mechanism, giving you flexibility in setting reclining positions so a napping infant and an alert toddler can enjoy their ride simultaneously.
This stroller comes without a parent organizer, meaning you must bring one from home or purchase separately – however, this is only a minor drawback considering its quality and affordability.
3. Graco Ready2Grow
This stroller offers 12 distinct riding options and infant car seat compatibility, making it a top pick for families with multiple children. The front section can hold a Graco SnugRide Lite car seat while its rear has another Graco seat, bench seating for older siblings, or even a standing platform that serves as a buggy board – its Click Connect system makes attaching and detaching car seats easy!
These seats feature well-padded and spacious cushions to provide your kids with a relaxing environment and five-point safety harnesses so you have peace of mind knowing your child is secure.
Graco has made this stroller user-friendly by providing an instructional manual with clear steps and images, allowing even DIY beginners to set it up in under 10 minutes. Furthermore, all removable components can be machine-washed on cold settings for effortless cleanability.
Note that the Graco Ready2Grow is heavier, weighing approximately 50 pounds when both seats are attached. This can make pushing it on uneven terrain difficult and consume more trunk space than some other double strollers. Furthermore, some users have reported finding its cup holders hard to access with both seats in place – this can present problems for parents with young children who require bottles for outings, but this issue is common across double strollers in general and not limited to this stroller model expressly.
4. UPPA Baby G-Link 2
UPPAbaby’s G-Link 2 double stroller is ideal for infants and toddlers. Featuring a deep one-hand recline for newborns and an expansive canopy height of 26″, this stroller will keep children feeling secure. It has adjustable leg rests, a parent tray with cup holders, and even convenient carry straps that fit in most airplane overhead bins! UPPAbaby’s popular G-Luxe 2015 model was recently made double.
This lightweight and narrow stroller features an easy-to-access basket, independent reclining seats, pop-out UPF 50+ sunshades, and more – making it the ideal stroller for tight spaces thanks to its four sets of wheels versus traditional six. Furthermore, its folding mechanism is simple – step and release process without foot action required and folds quickly using a carry handle for transport/storage convenience. Ultimately, this stroller weighs only 22 lbs for easy transport/storage convenience!
However, its only flaw is its somewhat difficult and inconsistent brakes, which sometimes jam. Furthermore, its 5-point harnesses do not come equipped with padding while its long crotch strap can hit some children when sitting down – otherwise, this stroller remains one of our top picks for travel, providing plenty of comfort and functionality – be sure to read up on our full UPPAbaby G-Link 2 review for more info!
5. Zoe Twin+
The Zoe Twin+ stroller is a lightweight 19-pound side-by-side model designed for everyday errands and travel. When folded flat, it easily fits in trunks or backpacks.
Its versatility as an expandable triple or quad stroller using trio+ or tribe+ seat attachments makes it an excellent investment for families that expect their numbers to increase over time. Furthermore, this stroller features independent 4-panel canopies to block out sun and passersby; deep 165-degree reclining seats; comfortable color-matching harness strap covers; double belly bar support; and parent cup holders make this stroller an invaluable asset.
One thing we love about this stroller is its ability to fit through doorways – this makes a massive difference, as having too large of a stroller could limit where and what activities are possible with children.
We especially adored this stroller’s handlebar, as its full width allows easy steering with only one hand. With this model, many other strollers only reach halfway across, making steering difficult or impossible.
Another outstanding feature of this stroller is that it comes equipped with a rain cover included in the price, providing peace of mind should rain unexpectedly come your way! Snapping it on or off quickly so you’re always prepared. Plus, its sunshades have large peep-flaps, so you can quickly check on your kids without having to bend over and peek over.
