Double Strollers Category Overview:

Double strollers are great for twins or any family with two plus children. The dimensions of most Double strollers will allow passage through standard size door frames. For this reason, many families consider getting one double stroller and one single stroller if they have 3 or more children. Double strollers are also commonly called Twin strollers or dualies.

Double Strollers can be broken down even further:

Standard Doubles strollers - These strollers tend to have all the bells and whistles and have weights to prove it. Expect your standard double stroller to weigh in anywhere from 25 to 50lbs depending on make. You will find these strollers in side by side or inline versions. While these double strollers are great for most smooth surfaces, they tend to not handle the rough stuff as easily. Features to consider: Weight, size, in-ling or side by side, infant car seat adapter.

Umbrella or lightweight Double stroller - Designed to be lightweight and travel well, these strollers are generally great for travel or quick trips. If you're an urban parent who will have minimum contact with rough terrain, this may be a fit for you. Double strollers in this category will weigh anywhere from 17 - 30lbs and due to minimal bells and whistle will fold relatively compact when compared to other double stroller options. Be sure to check out Maclaren twin Techno or Twin Triumph strollers as a good option. Features to consider: Durability, folded dimensions, number of recline positions.

Double All Terrain strollers - For parents who anticipate the need to accommodate two children and like to vary the activities from refined urban settings to outdoor adventures and the occasional county fair. This is a safe bet if you want to handle anything your travels could throw at you. One of the main features in this category are larger tires and in a lot of situations, suspension. While these are must have for the rough stuff, they do add weight, so expect strollers in this category to weigh in anywhere from approximately 30 - 50 lbs. Features to consider would include: Large wheel size with aggressive tread, overall size, seat configuration and presence of suspension. Some of the top strollers in this category to consider would be the Mountain Buggy Urban Double , Phil & Teds Twin strollers.

Double Jogging stroller - Keep in mind that many of todays Double All-terrain strollers offer locking front wheels and can be used as light double jogging strollers. These strollers are generally for parents who dedicate significant time to running and want to take their kids along for the ride. While these strollers are great for running, their permantly locked front wheel is terrible for navigating tight spaces. Given their size and locked wheel they are really only made to run. Features to consider would include: Wheel type to accommodate on-road or off-road running, light weight, smooth bearings, single front wheel.
