Choosing a 3 Wheel Double Stroller

It's one of the best side-by-side strollers in our testing that offers an easy ride through rough terrain and effortless turns in tight spaces. It's a great jogger, and folds easily thanks to the self-standing feature.

It comes with double-action breaks that require two pedals to be pressed. Additionally it is not compatible with infant car seats. This could be a problem for some parents.

Safety Features

For those who plan to go for strolls and jogs, double strollers with three wheels offer more stability than four-wheel options. The reason is that they always have two wheels on the ground and some four-wheelers are able to lift one wheel off the ground in order to negotiate the obstacles like curbs and other obstructions. The downside is that three-wheelers are heavier, which can be a concern in the event that weight is an issue.

Some 3 wheeled pushchairs-wheel strollers come with pneumatic (air-filled tire) tires. These are great for those who like to run, and want an easier ride than the hard plastic wheels on certain products. However, they require routine maintenance and checks of air pressure (as as a pump and tire repair kit) because they are more prone to lose air than their traditional tires. Check your manufacturer's website or stroller manual for recommended pressures.

Strollers with adjustable handlebars assist in reducing neck and back strain for the person driving them. The ideal position is near your belly button, with your elbows slightly bent and your hands relaxed. A lockable front swivel wheel can be useful for uneven or bumpy surfaces.

A reliable brake is crucial and you should test your stroller's parking brake regularly to ensure it engages quickly and easily. Also, consider whether the stroller has windows that can be opened to peek at and/or an adjustable seat. Both of these features are great when you have toddlers or infants who need to rest while out and about.

The better jogging double strollers come with an adjustable tracking, which can help keep the front wheel straight while jogging. It prevents veering that is constant, and also reduces the necessity to keep adjusting your posture when running.

It is important to ensure that 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 charges, as they can quickly mount up. Consider any additional features you may need or want to avoid, such as snacks trays or built-in speakers, which make the stroller heavier and less aerodynamic, and can pose a danger of tripping for children in the early years.

Maneuverability

When deciding on a stroller to purchase, the ease of maneuvering is an important consideration. Due to their weight, size and additional passengers double strollers can be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces. This can be frustrating especially if you're trying to navigate busy streets or shopping malls while carrying a child.

While some of our top strollers -- like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double -- are incredibly easy to push, others struggle because of their flexing frames and wide-set wheels. These double strollers are usually heavier than other double strollers. This makes them harder to transport and lift when not in use.

There are many strollers that offer great maneuverability, without breaking the bank. We like the phil&teds dots and double kit, which allows you to transform your stroller that you are using for jogging into a double stroller that is compatible with infant car seats. This is a great choice for families that are growing or who have small spaces.

It's also compatible with a variety of infant car seats, including the Nuna and Maxi-Cosi however it requires an adapter to be purchased separately.

Comfort

When strolling for hours with your children you need an item that is comfortable for you and your children. A great double stroller should offer smooth riding, as well as support for both seats with adjustable five-point safety harnesses and have plenty of storage for toys and snacks.

A comfortable handle is vital for a comfortable and easy pushing. A swivel front wheel is beneficial, especially for a jogger, to maneuver around tight spaces and curbs. And, the ability to lock the front swivel wheel for an easier ride is ideal for taking your family for a long walk or run.

Another feature you should look for in a double stroller is a simple folding process that can be accomplished using just one hand. The UPPAbaby Vista Double v2, Evenflo Pivot Xplore Wagon and Joovy Zoom X2 Double all have the best folding systems we have tested.

During our testing we looked at various seating configurations that could be used to meet the requirements and desires of different families. The Vista Double model from UPPAbaby was our top pick for this feature, as it can accommodate twins in separate infant car seats as well as third riders by adding a riding platform. It also has the quickest and easiest assemble in our test group, taking only 15 minutes from start to finish.

Most of the double strollers we tested provide adequate storage, although some are more accessible than others. The UPPAbaby and Joovy Caboose ultralight graphite both come with large, easily accessible baskets that can support up to 30lbs. The Evenflo Pivot Xplore has a large storage bin, whereas the Joovy Caboose Ultralight has smaller storage bins which isn't easy to access because it is under the sliding rear seat.

These models also have tray for parents, cup holders and a storage basket for the necessities.

Stores

The storage space in a double stroller should be large enough to accommodate both of you as well as your children's snacks and drinks. The amount of storage differs dramatically between models. Some models, for instance the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, the lightest stroller we've tested, and the new Summer Infant 3D Pac CSwith double stroller, come with only two cup holders for parents and hanging storage bags on the back of each seat. Others, like the UPPAbaby Vista Double and Joovy ScooterX2 have large baskets that are accessible from the inside.

Some of the top double strollers also have additional features, like the ability to extend canopies and reclining seats that let you adapt your child's ride to the weather or mood. A lot of strollers are compatible with car seats, so you can use them right away and then add an incline board or a child seat if your family grows.
