Best Double Strollers to Go Anywhere in 2026

Ready or not, here comes baby number two! Ask any second-time mom and she’ll totally tell you that even if your three-year-old loves to walk now, their legs suddenly won’t work once the baby is born (#facts). It’s also just a wise idea to invest in a double stroller for the sake of your poor back because you do enough heavy lifting around the house already.

Updated for 2026, this list covers the best double strollers parents are loving right now, from lightweight double strollers for travel to everyday workhorses that keep up with real life. Whether you’re on the hunt for a fancy wagon stroller to haul them (and all their stuff) to the beach this summer or just want a great lightweight double stroller for travelling cross-country, we’ve done the research to round up the best double strollers for getting out and about with two in tow.

What to look for in the best double strollers

The best double strollers are easy to maneuver, comfortable for both kiddos and suit your family’s lifestyle, be it cruising the city sidewalks or hitting the hiking trails near your house. They’re also exceptionally safe and aren’t a pain in the butt to fold up, which is important—trust us.

“To ensure you find a stroller that meets your unique needs, take some time to reflect on your lifestyle and how you expect to use your stroller as your family grows,” advises Alli Cavasino, CEO and co-founder of JoyLet, a premium baby and toddler gear rental company. Here are the must-haves you’ll want to keep in mind when shopping.

Ability to grow with your kiddos

Cavasino recommends checking the weight capacity and height limits for each seat and thinking about the ages or expected spacing between your children, as these limits will determine how long you can use the stroller. In my personal experience as a mom of three, the higher the weight and height limit of each seat, the better. And, if you want to start using your stroller from birth, look for reclining seats your newborn can safely sit in from the beginning or double strollers that support a bassinet or car seat adapter.

Style and configurations

Perhaps the biggest double stroller debate among parents is whether to go with a side-by-side or tandem stroller. While both styles have their pros and cons, it comes down to how and where your family will use yours. “If you often navigate through narrow spaces, a tandem stroller may be a better choice,” says Cavasino. This style offers more seating configurations, but can be harder to maneuver overall. If you plan on putting in a lot of miles and have twins or similar-aged kids, a side-by-side is a no-brainer.

Size

Do you want something lightweight for travel or quick trips to the store, or a tank with storage capacity that's great for all terrains? Consider the kind of use you want to get out of your stroller when factoring in size, as well as how much space you have to store it.

Storage space

With two kiddos, you’re going to schlep all the snacks, diapers, sippy cups and toys galore. The best double strollers have ample storage space to fit all the things. “In many cities, caregivers use their strollers like their car, carrying groceries, work essentials and more in addition to baby's belongings,” notes Cavasino.

Little add‑ons like organizers, cup holders, rain covers and ride‑along boards can make a huge difference on busy days—our must‑have stroller accessories guide has plenty of ideas to trick out your stroller without going overboard.

Safety features

Cavasino recommends looking for strollers that come with the latest safety features, such as five-point harnesses, brakes and snug leg openings for infants (so they can’t slip through). “Be careful of buying older models secondhand as these may not meet all current safety standards,” she warns. “A canopy with UV protection is a must, but many canopies offer enhanced features such as extensions, ventilation and peek-a-boo windows to check on your children without having to disturb them.”

Overall ease of use

A stroller that is easy to push and maneuver with your children in it is an absolute must. Try taking any double stroller you’re considering for a test drive to get a feel for how smooth and comfortable the ride is for everyone. Also, consider the weight and fold.

“It should be comfortable for you to conduct frequent movements you expect to encounter, like lifting in and out of the car or carrying up the stairs of your apartment building,” says Cavasino. Things like adjustable handlebars, cup holders, and multiple recline positions (hello, naps on the go!) can also make your life easier.

Best budget double stroller

Graco Ready2Grow LX 2.0 Double Stroller

One of the best double strollers if you like options—or simply have a toddler who wants to be a baby one day and an older kid the next (you know how that goes). The Ready2Grow is easy on the wallet and the eyes, offering endless ways to ride, with two stroller seats, a bench seat and a standing platform to use depending on the day or their mood.

You can also pop two car seats on the frame for twins. Did we mention this brand makes our top-rated convertible car seat? It's true. We're obsessed—especially because the brand is surprisingly affordable.

It folds up like a single stroller, which is perfect if you have limited trunk space or just don't need another kid thing taking over the garage. Perhaps greatest of all is the generous, easy-access storage basket that reviewers note is huge, accommodating a diaper bag, purse and multiple lunchboxes at once.

Other things to love are the full-size canopies for sun and wind protection and cup holders for both you and your more mature kiddo.

Pros

• Superb value
• So many ways for older kids to ride
• Can accommodate two car seats, so it's great for twins
• Folds up compactly for storage
• Huge storage basket that's easy to access
• Comes with cup holders for you and your child

Cons

• Upper seat doesn't recline
• Handlebar can't be adjusted to your height

Best umbrella double stroller

Summer Infant 3Dlite Double Stroller

If you need a great but affordable double umbrella stroller for Grandma's or just to keep in the back of your trunk for quick errands, you can't go wrong with the Summer Infant 3Dlite. Like its namesake, it's super lightweight at only 21.4 pounds with a convenient carry handle and an auto lock, making it a breeze to lift and load all by yourself.

Standout features include individually reclining seats for when one kiddo wants to snooze while the other is wide awake, as well as dual adjustable canopies with flip-out sun visors for especially bright days. There's also a surprising amount of storage space, with two separate, large storage baskets beneath the seats and two rear storage pockets for parent essentials.

Oh, and we're so into the cup holder for to-go drinks. It's perfect for holding your 40-ounce Stanley Cup dupe.

With each seat accommodating a child up to 50 pounds, you're sure to get lots of longevity out of this double umbrella stroller.

Pros

• Super lightweight
• Each seat holds up to 50 pounds
• Affordable
• Individually reclining seats
• Adjustable sun canopies
• Lots of storage space

Cons

• Handlebar can't be adjusted to your height
• Can't be used from birth, only 6 months+

Best travel double stroller

UppaBaby GLink Double Stroller

While a heavy-duty double stroller is great for everyday use, if you’re a frequent flyer, something lightweight and easily portable is a must for on-the-go. The UPPAbaby GLink scores major points with second-time parents thanks to smart design elements like a carry handle.

A lightweight aluminum frame and super simple folding make it ideal for zipping through the airport with ease. At only 28.5 inches wide, you’ll have no trouble fitting through doors or navigating city sidewalks either. Both seats independently recline and have their own extra-large, multi-panelled canopies (with pop-out UPF 50+ sun shades). Fold and unfold in a matter of seconds.

Plus, if your children are on two totally different schedules, it’s no issue. It can fit little ones as tiny as three months old, all the way up to 55 pounds per seat, which is at least through kindergarten, if not longer. We think it's one of the best travel strollers for twins, too.

Pros

• Excellent for travel
• Well-priced
• Individually reclining seats to accommodate different nap schedules
• Multi-panelled canopies with UPF 50+ sun protection
• Narrow design at only 28.5 inches wide
• Lightweight aluminum frame with carry handle for travel
• Easy and fast fold
• Can use from three months old all the way up to 55 pounds per seat

Cons

• Medium-sized wheels are great for pavement but not well-suited for other terrains

Best wagon double stroller

Evenflo Pivot Xplore All-Terrain Stroller Wagon

This all-terrain option topped our list of the best wagon strollers (over 4,500 5-star reviews!) for so many reasons. It’s super well-priced and incredibly convenient for park outings, trips to the zoo, beach, aquarium, theme parks and more. And it can be used from the time your second child is born, with a car seat adapter or a car seat you can purchase separately.

We love that this double travel stroller seats kiddos up to 55 pounds. It’s great if you have an age gap between children, but still want a fun (and bigger kid-friendly) double stroller for when your older one gets tired (which they will).

Speaking of seating, there’s a toddler seat that can be purchased, too, allowing for lots of different seating configurations and flexibility as your family grows.

The best part? It comes with plenty of storage space, inside and out, to give your hands a much-needed break. UPF 50+ sun canopies keep little ones shaded on sunny days, and the included snack tray makes munching on the go (kids’ all-time fave) possible—it’s also a great way to divide siblings prone to annoying each other.

Push the Pivot just like a regular double stroller or simply flip the adjustable-height handlebar to pull it like a wagon. It folds up easily and doesn’t take a ton of space when folded, for those concerned about storage space.

Pros

• Great value
• Ample storage space
• Option to push it or pull it
• Adjustable-height handlebar
• Car seat-compatible
• Flexible seating options to grow with your family
• Canopies, snack tray and storage basket included
• Seats kids up to 55 pounds

Cons

• May be tough for taller kiddos to sit under the canopy
• Car seat adapter and toddler seat sold separately

Best jogging double stroller

Thule Urban Glide 3 Double Stroller

Honestly, I can't say enough good things about the Thule Urban Glide. It's one of the best double strollers, whether you're a runner or not. True to its name, the push is incredibly smooth, and it almost feels like you're gliding as you go, which is great because jogging with two kids is def not for the weak. The Thule makes it feel effortless.

The ergonomic, adjustable handlebar helps you find a perfect fit for comfort, and the updated twist hand brake gives you precise control on hilly terrain. There's also a wrist strap for extra safety, which brings peace of mind when you're picking up speed or tackling uneven ground.

For the kids, the Urban Glide 3 nails the essentials. It has multi-position reclining seats, improved ventilation panels, and extra-large canopies that offer excellent sun protection while keeping airflow steady. The spacious cargo basket, now with a zip-top cover, gives you plenty of room for water bottles, snacks, toys, and all the toddler gear you could possibly need. On the back, you'll still find mesh pockets for grab-and-go items like wipes or keys.

And performance-wise? It glides beautifully over grass, trails, and sidewalks alike. Even with two sleepy toddlers aboard, pushing it up inclines is surprisingly manageable. The compact fold is smoother too, which is a godsend when you're juggling kids and gear at the same time.

Pros

• Smooth, effortless push on all terrain
• Adjustable handlebar and twist hand brake
• Safe wrist strap for jogging control
• Comfy seats with better ventilation and big canopies
• Large zip-top basket plus mesh pockets
• Easier, more compact fold

Cons

• Still wide and somewhat heavy
• Pricey compared to standard strollers
• Takes up space even when folded

Best double stroller for twins

Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller 2.0

If you’ve been eyeing an UPPAbaby but can’t quite swing the price tag, the Mockingbird Single-to-Double 2.0 is a luxe-feeling dupe that still checks a lot of boxes. It starts as a single and then converts to a double with a second seat, giving you loads of flexibility for twins, Irish twins, or a toddler-and-baby combo. With multiple seating options—parent-facing, world-facing, stacked, car seat plus toddler seat—you can keep rearranging things as your kids (and their opinions) evolve.

Parents love that it works from birth with an infant car seat, bassinet, or a fully reclined seat, then keeps up as your baby hits new stages. The ride is smooth and sturdy enough for everyday use, but it still folds in one piece and fits in most trunks without a full-on wrestling match. A big basket, extendable canopies,  and a no‑rethread harness all help it feel way more premium than the price suggests.

Not sure which seat to pair it with? Check out our best convertible car seats guide to find a car seat that’s easy to click in and out.

Pros:

• Converts from single to double, so it grows with your family
• Multiple seat configurations for twins, toddler, and baby
• Works from birth with an infant car seat, bassinet, or reclined seat
• Large under-seat basket for snacks, toys, and all their "treasures"
• Oversized canopies with solid sun coverage
• Has a premium feel at a more accessible price point

Cons:

• Heavier and bulkier than a lightweight travel double
• The second seat and several accessories are sold separately
• As a tandem, it can feel long and a bit awkward in tight store aisles

Best double stroller for toddler and infant

UPPAbaby Vista V3 Stroller

A toddler-and-baby combo is where Vista V3 really shows off, as confirmed in our in-depth review. It's ready from day one with a compatible infant car seat, or you can add the optional Bassinet V3, while your big kid relaxes in the roomy toddler seat—no one has to give up their ride.

As your family grows, you can add a second seat or ride‑along board rather than buying a whole new stroller. The push is smooth, the suspension is solid, and the big wheels handle curbs and city sidewalks well. Parents also love the giant under‑seat basket (it fits a diaper bag, purse, and then some) and the extendable UPF 50+ canopy that keeps little faces shaded.

Pros:

• Ideal for toddler + infant or two‑under‑two
• Works from birth with the bassinet (sold separately) or a compatible infant car seat
• Converts from single to double and can add a ride‑along board
• Smooth suspension and an easy, steady push
• Oversized under‑seat storage basket
• Extendable UPF 50+ canopy for extra sun coverage

Cons:

• Priced higher than many other double stroller options
• On the heavier/bulkier side, especially in double mode

Best compact double stroller

Joovy Kooper X2

The Joovy Kooper X2 is ideal if you want a double stroller that doesn’t swallow your whole trunk. It’s a compact side‑by‑side with a quick, simple fold that still feels comfy for bigger kids, thanks to deep seats, adjustable leg rests, and a 50‑pound weight limit per seat. Each seat reclines on its own, so one kid can snooze while the other is living their best wide-awake life.

Even with a smaller footprint, the storage is impressive. You get a roomy under‑seat basket, extra pockets, and two swing‑open snack trays that actually fold with the stroller (no juggling extra pieces). It’s an easy yes for everyday errands, mall walks, and travel when you want a lightweight double that actually fits your life.

Pros:

• Compact, easy fold that works for smaller trunks
• Side‑by‑side seats with a 50-pound capacity each
• Independent recline and adjustable leg rests for both kids
• Large basket plus extra storage pockets
• Included snack trays that fold with the stroller
• Lighter than most full‑size double strollers

Cons:

• Not compatible with infant car seats
• Wheels are best for smoother sidewalks, not rough terrain

Best side-by-side double stroller

Bugaboo Donkey 6 Double Stroller

The Bugaboo Donkey 6 Double is a splurge‑y side‑by‑side that gives both kids a true front‑row seat and the same cushy ride, so no one's stuck with the "less fun" spot. It starts as a single and expands out into a double in just a few clicks. With setups for bassinets, infant car seats and toddler seats, you can tweak the configuration for newborns, two‑under‑two, or bigger siblings who still insist on hitching a ride.

Even though it’s on the wider side, the Donkey 6 Double is designed to fit through standard doorways, and the push is incredibly smooth thanks to its big wheels and upgraded suspension. There’s also a ton of storage between the under‑seat basket and side basket (in single mode), which is basically made for hauling snacks, blankets, stuffed toys, and whatever else your kid hands you.

Pros:

• True side‑by‑side seats so both kids get the same comfy ride and view
• Converts from single to double, so you're covered for baby two or twins
• Flexible setups for newborns and toddlers with bassinet and car seat options
• Smooth push with big wheels and solid suspension for everyday use
• Loads of storage space for bags, snacks, and extra layers
• Premium look and feel with lots of accessories

Cons:

• Expensive compared to most double strollers
• On the heavier side, especially when you're using it in double mode
• Bulky to store and can be tricky in small trunks and hallways

FAQs

What are the best double strollers for Disney?

While we love a good wagon stroller for most theme parks, you'll have to leave yours at home if you're heading to Disney. The good news is that double strollers are allowed, but must be no larger than 31” (79 cm) wide and 52” (132 cm) long to bring to the park.

We suggest choosing a super lightweight and easily portable stroller for Disney, as you'll need to fold it fast to get on and off trams. It should be easy to navigate in a crowd and have a good storage basket to stow water, snacks, jackets, diapers and more. Oh, and seats that recline for mid-day naps for your little ones are a must.

What is the best double stroller for an infant and toddler to share?

This totally depends on your preferences. Some parents prefer the superior maneuverability of a side-by-side stroller that can be used from birth with an older sibling, while other families find that a tandem double stroller with lots of seating configurations—and that's compatible with their infant car seat—better suits their lifestyle.

Are double strollers worth it?

A double stroller earns its keep if you're often out with both kids by yourself, walk everywhere, have twins, or your toddler still lives for a ride. If your older child walks most of the time and you're more of a hop-in-the-car family, you can probably get by with a single stroller and a baby carrier for quick trips.

What’s better: tandem or side-by-side double stroller?

Neither is "better "overall—it depends on where you live. Side-by-side strollers are usually easier to push and are comfortable for twins and close-in-age siblings, while tandems are slimmer and way less stressful in tight aisles, crowded transit, and tiny elevators.

Can newborns ride in double strollers?

Newborns can only ride in a double stroller if there’s a safe, fully flat option like a bassinet, infant car seat, or newborn‑approved recline. Standard stroller seats usually have to wait until baby has decent head and neck control, which tends to be somewhere in the three-to-six-month range.

What is the lightest double stroller?

Exact weights change by model and year, but double umbrella and travel strollers are usually the lightest options. Models like the Summer Infant 3Dlite Double and similar compact doubles come in much lighter than most full-size or juggling strollers, so they're easier to carry, toss in the trunk, and wrangle through airports.
