What is the best double stroller?

September 22, 2011 7:21 PM PDT · Flag · 13 answers

I'm looking for a double stroller. We've tried the iCandy, but want a smoother ride. We're looking at the Bumbleride and Bob (2011) models. Any tips?

This is absolutely the best double stroller ever! First off, I love Chicco and trust them a whole lot with their products, second, This is such a diverse stroller, you can have two newborns, 2 toddlers, or one toddler and one newborn, and it also fully lays back turning it into a basinett, which is way too cool! The front and back feature gives you the ability of maneuvering through doorways and small spaces easily versus the side by side making it impossible to go anywhere without your babies getting bumped into. This folds up wonderfully and easily into the car or mini van. (i have both) The best thing is the price! Others are in a much higher price range and this is perfect for being such high quality.

This is at the lowest price range of double strollers with the advantage of it also being a running stroller as well. It's not bulky like other doubles are, and its very smooth riding. I think its very light weight considering others I checked out that feel impossible to get in the car. The seats are able to recline so if the kids fall asleep their heads wont fall forward, they can just lay back and enjoy the smooth ride. I originally didnt want the side by side double because it isnt always easy to get around when in closed areas and doorways but So far I dont worry about that, th rest is a great plus!

I hear really great things about the Bob brand. They are kind of pricey but I think that old adage about getting what you pay for is so true. I have a friend who still has and uses her Bob stroller after 5 children and it still works great without bumps, breakage, or loose parts. I think that says a lot after to much use and abuse.

I generally prefer the all-terrain models whenever I buy a stroller. It's so much more convenient when you really don't know what the road conditions are going to be from time to time. I was able to take my kids jogging, walking, hiking, etc. with this and it really held well without too much movement from them at all. It folds up to be pretty compact so I am able to fit it in the back of my car easily or in the closet when I'm not using it. It functions well and looks good too. The price is pretty up there but I think in these cases you definitely get what you pay for. The construction of the stroller is very durable and the fabric is comfortable for even the softest skin. I've been really happy with it.

This is such a wonderful design and I am so happy I decided to get one for myself.
I saw some lady using one in the park and it struck me as such a clever design. I asked her if she liked it and she HIGHLY recommended it to me, for which I am thankful because it's great. Thanks, lady in the park!
My one son stands on the back, peering over the top and we cruise along. He loves it. When he gets tired he can just sit down in the rear seat. They can switch off if they want to as well.
Also, the shorter wheel bed makes it very easy to control and maneuver.
It's definitely on the heavy side, which is kind of a bummer, but hey there's gotta be something wrong with it, right?

This is great for all terrain, bumpy and smooth, this is a cruisin stroller and a great way to jog while taking the kids out for some sun. Obviously you have to have a large vehicle to fit this into, who wouldn't have a large vehicle with twins? hmmm.

Chicco Cortina Together Double Stroller, Fuego

This is an awesome stroller, its also compatible with holding a Chicco car seat so you can easily latch the car seat into the stroller. It makes it easier when the baby is sleeping and especially if its an infant. A great multi use stroller and very smooth riding.

Chicco Cortina Together Double Stroller, Fuego

This is really for the family that started with 1 baby and then as it got older, had another because you can fit both the car seat adapter and a toddler to sit in the big boy part at the same time. Very cool. Dont get me wrong, you can also fit two infants and/or two toddlers. Its a great universal stroller. Thats really hard to find.

Tried 'em all out and think this is the best. Well...mabye the bugaboo donkey is better, but I put that in a vastly different price range. So at the $500-700 range, my vote is for the bumbleride.

Phil Teds VIBE2REDKIT Vibe 2 Buggy Double Stroller - Red Black

This is actually really cool! You can have an infant and a toddler or two toddlers in it. and its smooth... but the best part is having the two seats one behind another, instead of the big giant side by side strollers, those suck, You cant go anywhere and might as well stay home because they don't fit anywhere. This on the other hand does.
