Best Double Strollers of 2025

Babylist parents love Baby Jogger strollers for their quick, easy one-handed folds. (The brand’s single GT2 holds the top spot in our Best Strollers guide.) This double version is just as easy to break down as the single stroller—extra praiseworthy considering it’s twice the size.

“This stroller folds up in one step! Can you ask for anything better?!” said one Babylist mom, and I couldn’t agree more.

Maneuverability-wise, the GT2 Double is very easy to push and steer, even with two kids on board. (This is a big reason why many parents choose a side-by-side double stroller. Tandem doubles have their pros, but maneuverability generally isn’t one of them—side-by-side doubles are easier to manage than tandems.)

Another big perk of this stroller is size. The GT2 is fairly narrow and fits through standard-sized doorways (interior doorways in the US are usually around 32” wide, while exterior doorways measure 36”), which isn’t the case with all doubles and can be extra helpful if you’re a city family navigating tighter spaces. I also love that each seat and canopy operates independently in case one kiddo wants to chill while the other wants to see the world.

The GT2 Double isn’t ideal for twins since it only accepts one infant car seat. (There used to be a bassinet add-on option, but the brand has unfortunately discontinued it.) And speaking of car seats, many parents complain that the stroller isn’t compatible with Nuna or Chicco car seats, two popular brands, which is something to keep in mind. There’s also no snack tray or parent console available, which is frustrating if you have kids who like to snack on the go or like to stash your phone or a drink in your stroller.

Some parents prefer a tandem double stroller (also called an in-line or front-to-back stroller) because of the more streamlined design, making it easier to maneuver through crowds and doorways than a side-by-side. If that’s you, the Vista V3 should be your go-to. You won’t find another tandem with the same quality, durability or convenience features.

The Vista is a convertible stroller, which means it converts from a single to a double with the addition of a second seat.

“If you know for sure you want to expand your family soon, then a convertible stroller might be the right choice for you,” says Hunter Jones. It’s one of the most popular strollers used (and loved) by Babylist parents; almost 30% of the thousands of Babylist users who completed our Best Baby Products survey voted the Vista V3 as their favorite, describing it as “beautifully made” with “unmatched” quality, and many telling us it was the best product they added to their entire baby registry.

The Vista is built to accommodate up to three kids with the addition of the Rumble Seat (V3 version coming in Dec 2024) and PiggyBack Ride Along Board. It’s twin-friendly, as it works with two bassinets, two car seats or two toddler seats at the same time. (The bassinet features a foam-free air mesh mattress and a vented base and can also be used for overnight sleep, a nice perk.) It’s pricey, but the V3 is packed with features: a huge canopy, a fully reclinable all-weather seat with an integrated mesh back, a magnetic harness system, a rain/bug shield, more than ample storage space in the basket for up to 30 pounds of stuff and a toddler seat for kids up to 50 pounds. It’s beautifully designed and boasts an impressive FlexRide suspension system for a smooth ride, even over uneven surfaces. And it’s sturdy enough to withstand years of use with multiple kids. “The Vista is my go-to ride for both my kids,” Babylist parent Michela said. “I’ve used the bassinet, car seat, main seat and the RumbleSeat over the years. Wheels tackle anything and it glides so smooth.”

Like any tandem double, the biggest con is steering—the Vista can feel unwieldy to push and turn when it’s loaded up with two kids, which I think is the stroller’s biggest fault. It’s especially tough to steer if there’s a toddler in the bottom seat because of how front-heavy the stroller feels. It’s also not the easiest to break down in double mode.

Additional Specs

• Stroller Weight: 27.6 lbs (without second seat)

• Child Weight Limit: Bassinet: up to 20 lbs or until infant can push up on hands and knees, whichever comes first; Toddler seat: up to 50 lbs; Rumble Seat: up to 35 lbs

• Dimensions: 39.5”H x 25.7”W x 36.5”L (in single mode); 39.5.5”H x 25.7”W x 44”L (in double mode)

Direct-to-consumer brand Mockingbird skips the retail markups so they can offer a luxury convertible stroller for a lot less than many competitors. “Looks and feels high-end for a reasonable price” and “best bang for the buck” are just some of the feedback Babylist parents gave us when we asked about the Mockingbird in our Best Baby Products survey. They also called out all the different features, highlighted the importance of the ride-along board for families with 3+ kids and loved the brand’s lifetime warranty.

The Mockingbird costs less than half of what you’ll pay for a Vista. Both seats are the same size and can be switched to either forward- or parent-facing. You can also use it from birth with the addition of a car seat (it’s compatible with almost every brand—just remember you’ll need adapters), or add the Mockingbird Bassinet, Infant Seat Stroller Insert or Riding Board, for a total of 22+ configurations.

Some parents told us that their overall impression of the Mockingbird was that it wasn’t quite as sturdy and didn’t offer as smooth of a ride as the Vista. I agree somewhat with that feedback, but I think the updated suspension in the 2.0 version goes a long way in improving how the stroller handles. (And considering the price tag, that’s a really big deal.) If you’re taller, you may sometimes kick the crossbar between the stroller’s back wheels. (I did, and I’m 5’10”, but other tall folks I spoke with haven’t had this experience.) And, like the Vista—and all tandems—it’s not effortless to push in double mode with two larger kids.

Additional Specs

• Stroller Weight: 26.5 lbs; 35 lbs with two seats

• Child Weight Limit: 6+ mos, up to 50 lbs (or 42”) for the stroller seat; up to 45 lbs in each toddler seat

• Dimensions: 40”H x 25.5”W x 33”L

One of the first things I noticed when testing out Zoe’s Twin stroller was how easy it was to open, close and get in and out of my trunk. Maneuverability in general is so easy with this double stroller, and that makes it ideal for travel with two+ kids or for those times when you don’t want or need a full-size double stroller.

I was able to open and close the stroller in seconds thanks to the one-handed fold. (And I didn’t even have to crack the instruction manual to learn how!) I also appreciate that it comes with a child snack holder and parent cup holder right out of the box. At only 19 pounds and 29 inches wide, it fits through standard doorways easily and is Disney-approved. There’s even an option to turn it into a stroller for three (or four!) by adding a triple or a quad seat, something you don’t see often with any type of stroller, but especially in a travel stroller.

If you need a double that can tackle off-road terrain or bumpy sidewalks, I wouldn’t recommend this one; it shines on smooth surfaces but doesn’t handle well on rougher surfaces like cobblestone streets or especially uneven city sidewalks. It also doesn’t accept car seats or bassinets (and doesn’t recline flat), so it’s not a good choice for newborns.

Additional Specs

• Stroller Weight: 23 lbs

• Child Weight Limit: 45 lbs per seat

• Dimensions: 43”H x 30”W x 33”L

Are you thinking, “This isn’t a double stroller?” Technically, you’re correct. But wait! The Pivot Xplore is a wagon + stroller hybrid and a super fun way to transport two kids when you’re on the go. Stroller wagons are a great alternative for pushing around multiple little ones, especially when on adventures like the beach or park, and I always recommend parents consider them in their research.

With one quick flip of the handle, the Xplore transforms from a wagon into a stroller suitable for kids from six months up to five years old. (You can get even more versatility by adding in a toddler seat and a car seat adapter, sold separately.) It pushes and turns very similarly to a traditional stroller, something many stroller wagons struggle with. It also features a telescoping handle to accommodate caregivers of different heights. While the all-terrain wheels can handle many types of surfaces, like bumpy sidewalks or short stretches of sandy or gravel paths, I do find it shines on smoother ones; for a more rugged option (but also more expensive), check out the Veer All-Terrain Cruiser Wagon.

Additional Specs

• Stroller Weight: 34 lbs

• Child Weight Limit: Holds two children up to 55 lbs each (120 lbs total with storage)

• Dimensions: 39”H x 27”W x 45”L

I’d never describe a double jogging stroller as small, but the Thule Urban Glide 3 Double is one of the sleeker around. It’s just as great whether you’re an avid runner logging multiple miles a week or someone who walks a lot over uneven terrain. It can even work for urban environments, assuming you have space to store it.

The Urban Glide is long front to back, but ergonomically it’s comfortable to push while jogging and easy to steer. You’ll immediately notice the huge shocks on this stroller’s frame. Those combined with the large rear wheels make for an incredibly smooth ride both on and off-road. The twist break is comfortably positioned and easy to operate and control, even downhill. Improvements to the V3 model include a built-in legrest (a really nice feature for kid comfort), bigger, full-coverage canopies and an even larger storage basket.

The fold on this stroller is intuitive, but know that it’s big and bulky when folded. It weighs over 35 pounds, which is comparable to other double joggers but much heavier than an average double. (This isn’t the stroller I’d choose if I were also planning on using it day-to-day and had to load it in and out of my car regularly.) It’s also important to know that the tires are air-filled. While this is great from a suspension standpoint, it means they can pop or deflate over time.

The Urban Glide 3 Double is compatible with infant car seats from many major brands, and can be paired with a bassinet. (But it can only hold one car seat or bassinet, so it’s not twin-friendly.) And remember that it’s not safe to jog with your baby until they have good head and neck control, usually around six to nine months of age.

Additional Specs

• Stroller Weight: 35.3 lbs

• Child Weight Limit: 49 lbs per seat

• Dimensions: 44.5”H x 31.1”W x 48.8”L

Not all double strollers are created equally, especially for twins. If you’re shopping for a twin stroller, you’ll want to make sure it accommodates two bassinets and/or two infant car seats simultaneously. You should also be conscious of storage, maneuverability and the stroller’s width. Bugaboo’s Donkey5 gets an A++ in all of these categories. It’s one of the narrowest side-by-side doubles on the market, so fitting through standard doorways and other crowded spaces won’t be an issue. I’m amazed by how well it handles every time I push it, even with two kids in tow—no other side-by-side double compares. There’s an incredible suspension system for a smooth ride even over bumpy terrain (it can even curb hop!) and an adjustable handlebar for strollers of different heights. It even turns easily, making you (almost) forget you’re hauling around twice the weight as many parents.

The elephant in the room is this stroller’s price tag, especially once you start adding on twin must-haves like the Duo Extension Set and the twin bassinet. But if your double stroller is your main mode of transportation each day, I do think it’s worth the high price tag if you can swing it. Check out the Valco Trend Duo for a more affordable (and still very much loved) twin option.

PS—you don’t have to use this stroller just for twins. It works just as well for kids of different ages, too.
