Choosing a 3 Wheel Double Stroller
It's one of the best side-by-side strollers we've tested with smooth riding on rough terrain, and quick turns in tight spaces. It's a great jogger and folds up easily with the self-standing feature.
It does have double-action brakes that require the release of two pedals, and does not accept infant car seats. This could be a deal breaker for some parents.
Safety Features
Three-wheel double strollers are more stable than four-wheel models designed for people who plan to stroll and jog. This is due to the fact that they have two wheels on the ground at all times, whereas some four-wheel strollers allow one wheel to rise off of the ground when traversing obstructions like curbs or other obstacles. Three-wheelers are heavier than four-wheelers. This can be a problem if weight is an issue.
Some 3-wheel strollers have pneumatic (air-filled) tires that are a great option for people who plan to run or jog and need an easier ride than the hard plastic wheels that are found on some models. However, they need regular maintenance and air pressure checks (as well as a pump and tire 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 manufacturer's site.
Strollers with adjustable handlebars aid in reducing neck, arm and back strain for those who is pushing them. The best posture for your arms is right near your belly button, with your elbows slightly bent and your hands relaxed. A lockable front swivel wheel can also be useful for moving across bumpy or uneven surfaces.
A good brake is essential, and you should test the brake on your stroller's parking regularly to ensure it engages quickly and smoothly. Take note of whether the stroller comes with an open window or reclining chair. These features are useful if your infant or toddler needs to nap when you're out and out and about.
The best jogging strollers come with an adjustable track, which helps to keep the front wheel straight when running. It prevents veering that is constant and reduces the requirement for constant manual adjustments while running, which can increase overall fatigue.
It is important to ensure whether the folded dimensions of double strollers can fit inside your trunk or in your home prior to buying. Be sure to check the stroller's shipping and handling costs because they can quickly increase. Also, think about any additional features you may need or want to stay clear of, such as snacks trays or built-in speakers, which make the stroller heavier and less aerodynamic and can pose a danger of tripping for young children.
Maneuverability
When selecting a stroller mobility is a major consideration. Due to their weight, size and additional passengers double strollers are more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces. This can be a problem when you're trying to navigate through busy sidewalks or grocery stores with children with you.
While some of our most-loved strollers -- like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double -- are incredibly easy to push, other strollers struggle due to their flexing frames or wide-set wheels. They're also heavier than many other double strollers, making them more difficult to carry and lift when not in use.
There are a variety of strollers that provide 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 a double stroller that's compatible with infant car seats. It's a great choice for families that are growing and those with space limitations.

Comfort
You want to be comfortable when strolling with your kids for long periods of time. A good double stroller will provide an easy ride and will support both seats using adjustable five-point safety belts. It should also include plenty of storage space for toys and snacks.
A padded handle makes pushing easier. A swivel front wheel is beneficial, especially for a jogger, to maneuver around tight spaces and curbs. The capability to lock the front swivel wheel for a smoother ride is great for taking your family on a long stroll or jog.
A double stroller should come with a simple folding system that can be operated with one hand. In our tests, the UPPAbaby vista double V2, Evenflo Pivot Xplore Wagon and Joovy Zoom X2 Double had the most efficient folding systems.
In the course of testing we searched for a variety of seating options to accommodate the different needs of families. The UPPAbaby Vista Double took the top spot in this category, as it can seat twins in two separate infant car seats, or accommodate a third person by adding a riding board. This model also provides the quickest and easiest assemble in our test group, requiring just 15 minutes from beginning to finish.
The majority of double strollers we tested provide adequate storage, although certain models are easier to access than others. The Joovy Caboose and UPPAbaby ultralight graphite both come with large, easily accessible baskets that can support up to 30lbs. Evenflo Pivot Xplore comes with an enormous storage bin. The Joovy Caboose has smaller bins that are difficult to reach because it's located under the sliding rear seats.

Stores
The storage space of a double stroller must be sufficient to accommodate you both, and also your children's snacks and drinks. But the amount of storage varies significantly between models. Some, like the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite (the lightest stroller we tested in our group) and the brand-new Summer Infant 3D Pac CS+ Double Stroller are equipped with 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 that are easy to access.
Some of the best double strollers also come with additional features, like the ability to extend canopies and reclining seats which allow you to alter your child's stroll according to the weather conditions or their mood. Many of them also offer car seat compatibility, so you can use them right from the beginning and then add a child seat or glider board when the time is right to grow your family.
The compact 4-wheel strollers are designed to be lightweight, easy to fold, store and move.
