Travelling with kids can be tricky, and we don’t mean just overseas travelling. Getting your kids (safely) from point A to point B can take quite the effort, especially if you have twins or children that are close in age.
This is where Double strollers come to the rescue – it streamlines outings and allows parents manage their children’s needs more efficiently besides helping you lug all your stuff because two kids = twice the gear.
Many strollers are now designed to grow with your kids so they make for a good investment but with all the options available on the market, finding the best double stroller can be seriously overwhelming.
What is the best double stroller for most families? Our top pick remains the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller which strikes the perfect balance between comfort for kids and ease of use, storage and manoeuvrability for parents at a reasonable price point that gives good value for money across years of use. if you have a smaller budget, or need a double stroller just for the occasional outing or to run short errands, there’s no beating the price of the Delta Children LX Side by Side Stroller.

A Quick Summary
How We Chose the Best Double Strollers
Here at Mommy Tea Room, we evaluate and test double strollers based on the following factors:
Manoeuvrability: A double stroller will be harder to manoeuvre compared to a single stroller, that’s to be expected. However, features like swivel front wheels or a more lightweight or narrow frame can make things easier so these are among the criteria we put our priorities on.
Configurability: We make sure our picks can accommodate twins and/or an infant and toddler with a variety of configurations for two car seats, two newborn bassinets, combination of the two, seats+ bassinet … you get the idea.
Storage: We prioritize strollers that offer generous storage options because two kids means twice the baby essentials. We also try to strike a balance between this and the overall storage of the stroller (large storage baskets/pockets = larger-sized strollers) by prioritizing those that folds up small (or as compact as possible).
Price: The price tag of a double stroller is often a deterrence to many. As with other types of strollers, the price range can be pretty wide but there’s no shortage of excellent options at either end of the price spectrum. Our selection is mainly under the $1,000 mark, with a few exceptions for those who want extra features in their double strollers (that’s bound to command a higher price tag).
Additional features: We try to incorporate a good mix of extras such as cup holders, snack trays, canopies, adjustable handlebar, one-handed fold etc. in our selections.

Why We Love It
From manoeuvrability and ease of use to comfort, price and configurability, the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller strikes the perfect balance in all aspects, making it the best double stroller that will suit most families in our opinion.
Sporting forever-air rubber tires that will never go flat and an all-wheel suspension system, this side-by-side double stroller glides on any terrain with ease. Together with an adjustable handlebar (that accommodates parents of different height) and hand-operated parking brake, we can safely say that it is one of the best all terrain double stroller options we have ever come across.
We also like how it fits through any standard doorway so that eliminates yet another reservation people have against side-by-side double strollers. The brand’s signature one-step, in-seat fold is not missing here either – with just one handle pull, it folds down quickly and completely flat so storing/transporting it isn’t as challenging as other models.
Each seat has their own canopy with peek-a-boo window and the near-flat independent reclines with adjustable calf supports create the most comfortable position for your children. Replace one of them with an infant car seat and you have the best double stroller for toddler and newborn – baby can use it right from day 1 while the elder toddler sits next to him/her.
