The City Mini GT2 Double is more sturdy and durable than a compact double stroller but not as heavy-duty as some of the other strollers on the market, as it can still fit through a standard doorway.

The all-terrain 8.5” forever-air wheels allow you to take this stroller almost anywhere, which elevates it among other strollers on the market. The stroller has a hand-operated parking brake which is easy to use and different from the usual push pedals on other strollers.

The thing that makes Baby Jogger strollers stand out is how easy they are to fold—just one pull at the back of the children’s seats allows you to collapse the stroller instantly.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double seats are also plushly padded with additional support, and they recline to a nearly flat position. There is also ample canopy coverage for those sunny days and a lot of storage in the basket underneath as well as behind the seats.

I did have trouble with the buckles, however, as the five-point safety harness made it challenging when my toddler was moving and would get impatient. The buckle can be difficult to unclip as well, and posed a challenge for grandparents with limited hand strength.

If you’re a jogger, like I am, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double Stroller is a great option. It’s very easy to maneuver with the swivel front wheel that can lock into place for jogging, and the large rear wheels. I found it very easy to fold with just one hand and it was more compact than the BOB when placed in the trunk of my car. This stroller can handle any type of terrain and was a smooth ride whether I was on a bumpy trail or grass.

The only thing I did not like about this stroller is the seat size; I felt that my almost-two-year-old did not have as much room compared to other strollers.

On the plus side, the stroller features reclining seats, and multi-position canopies with side-ventilation windows to ensure the kids are comfortable. I used this stroller with an infant adapter and it was so easy to assemble, allowing my infant to face me and my toddler to face forward.

At just 23.2 pounds, the Baby Jogger City Mini Tour 2 is one of the lighter double strollers I tested but still felt durable. The all-new lightweight design fits through a standard doorway and has an ultra-compact fold. It’s noticeably smaller than the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2, plus it’s easy to take on the go thanks to the one-hand fold. Another advantage the City Mini Tour 2 has is that it folds flat, which is huge when you need to fit other items in your trunk.

The stroller has durable—yet lightweight—rubber composite tires and locking front swivel wheels, so it provides an especially smooth ride for the kids. The padded seats are comfortable for riders, and the multiple recline positions, adjustable calf supports, and UV50+ canopies make the City Mini Tour 2 a great ride.

The biggest negative is the weight limit, which is 33 pounds for each seat, whereas many of the other double strollers hold children up to 50 pounds.

The Joovy KooperX2 has a unique three-part fold making it super compact and easy to travel with. I also like that for a compact stroller it’s able to hold two kids up to 50 pounds each. It’s hard to find a compact stroller that’s also sturdy and well put-together, and it’s the only compact stroller on the market with two snack trays that fold with it. I felt there was plenty of storage even with it being so small.

Overall the Joovy provides a smooth ride for the kids, and it's easy to push for the parents. I wouldn’t recommend it on rough terrain, but it can handle pretty much anything else.

The canopy provided plenty of sun protection for the riders, and it's made from a nylon material, which was unique. One of the best things about the Joovy is that you can use the stroller when your baby is only 3 months, unlike other strollers which require that babies be at least 6 months old.

It does have two big drawbacks, however: I often found myself accidentally hitting the break when pushing it, which made it come to a screeching halt, and it's not compatible with any car seats.

• Stroller weight: 33 pounds

I loved how easy it was to assemble the BOB: It took my husband under five minutes to set-up before I was taking both kids for a ride. I also love how I could use it immediately with my infant and toddler simply by using the car seat adapter. The adapter is a cool concept where one side acts as the infant carrier and the other becomes a snack tray and cup holder for your toddler.

This stroller is great on any terrain—whether you are on a trail, on pavement, or walking on the beach. It is sturdy and of great quality, yet I could push it up hills with ease.

I loved that the seats can go from fully-upright to near flat on a recline with the push of a button. The seats are also ultra-padded and look comfy for the kids.

The biggest problem with the BOB is its size: it doesn't easily fit through a doorway, so this is not the stroller you're going to want for navigating crowds or traveling. Plus, it’s on the heavier side and not as compact as other strollers, so it’s a bit harder to get into and out of your car.

The Gazelle S Modular Double Stroller can be used as either a single or a double stroller with the addition of a second seat. The detachable shopping basket and huge storage basket make this stroller a great choice for those who live in the city or for those who do a lot of activities on foot. The stroller grows with your family, supporting over 20 configurations of seat units, cots, or any Cybex infant car seats.

The Gazelle S is the only double stroller I tested that comes with a complementary detachable shopping basket which can be used when the stroller is configured as a single. You can simply click it on and off the stroller frame each time you use it. On days I took only my youngest on stroller tests, I was able to run a few errands and put the items right in the shopping basket. The stroller also has a huge basket allowing you to store your personal items or things you purchase along the way when on shopping trips. With a combined basket capacity of 50 lbs, it couldn’t be easier to carry your shopping and all your essentials on your trip around town.

If you wish to use the Gazelle S stroller right from birth, you can do so with the carry cot (purchased separately) or with a Cybex infant car seat. Each stroller comes with a stroller frame and seat along with a Gazelle S shopping basket, cupholder, and a rain cover. Buyers should note that only one seat unit is provided and additional seats and accessories can be purchased separately. You can also purchase a ride on board to be used with a third child.

The stroller itself provides a smooth ride with decent sized wheels that glide across pavement. While I wouldn’t recommend it for any kind of tough terrain other than pavement, it turned on a dime and also did not feel heavy, even when used as a double with items in the storage basket.

While I did have trouble learning how to fold this stroller, I eventually figured it out and realized that even in a double seat configuration, it is possible to fold the Gazelle S for stowing and storage without having to detach any of the component parts. This earned points in my book because other tandem strollers require you to remove all of the seats before you fold it, therefore creating a lot of items to store.

The Britax B-Lively Double Stroller is a lightweight, everyday stroller. It features a quick fold design with all-wheel suspension.

Two things I truly liked about this stroller are how lightweight and compact it is when folded. You can easily store it in your trunk with plenty of room to spare, which makes it a great option if you are traveling.

The seats are spacious, and my toddler fit in it with plenty of room to grow. Despite being a side by side stroller, I was still able to easily maneuver and navigate through doorways with ease.

One thing I didn’t like was that the storage basket did not have an effective closure, so if you had to lift the stroller up to get over a curb, your items often rolled right out.

Another negative is that it is only compatible with Britax infant seats, so unless your carseat is a Britax, you have to wait to use the B-Lively until your little one is at least six months old.

The Uppababy Vista is visually appealing and ultra sleek looking. The tandem design of the seats makes it easy to fit through doorways and navigate with ease.

The stroller has excellent quality and the material of the seats is top notch. I felt like the stroller was sturdy and durable, yet it never felt too heavy for me to push, even going up-hill.

Folding the stroller was super easy, as was putting it into and out of the car, although it does take up quite a lot of room and is a bit heavy.

The biggest problem with the Uppababy is that it's difficult to set up. The stroller arrived in multiple boxes, and it was confusing figuring out which adapter went with which configuration.

The stroller offers versatility, but it takes extra planning and preparation to change the configuration of the seats. Using the bassinet/seat combination, the bassinet goes on the bottom and the seat faces you. My 19 month old didn’t love this configuration as he could only stare up at me when he is used to seeing all the interesting sights facing forward. It was a pain having to check that my newborn was okay in the bassinet as you can’t see them without peeking around the seat.

While it can be tricky using this stroller as a double during the newborn stage, when both kids are at least six months old and can use the forward-facing seats, the Uppababy is a great option. You can have both of your kids face forward, or they can face each other. It’s also a fantastic choice for parents who have twins, as it can be used with both double bassinets and double seats.
