Double strollers have come a long way over the past few decades. Gone are the monstrous and heavy contraptions of our youth. In addition, the use for double strollers has also evolved and they are no longer exclusively for toting twins around town. Many parents now choose to buy double strollers in order to accommodate two siblings of different ages who are both in need of a stroller. With this in mind, many manufacturers have created double strollers with seats that function as separate units in order to accommodate the different needs of these children. One seat can lie flat and/or face the stroller driver (great for babies) while the other seat can sit upright and face forward (great for toddlers).

Types of Double Strollers

There are three designs of double strollers on the market: Tandem Double Strollers, Single To Double double strollers, and Side By Side Double Strollers.
Tandem double strollers are strollers where the seats are positioned one in front of the other. This double stroller then keeps the same width as a normal standard size stroller but is longer than a regular stroller due to the two seats.
A side by side double stroller has a design a bit more obvious to understand. Side by side strollers are when the two seats of the stroller are positioned side-by-side, meaning next to each other. Check out reviews for the Maclaren Twin Triumph stroller, the Baby Jogger City Mini Double stroller, the Combi Twin Sport Double, and the Bumbleride Indie Twin if you are looking for this type of double stroller.

Choosing A Double Stroller Design

Parents who use double strollers are usually very definite in their opinion about which model of design is easiest to use and more practical for everyday strolling. Before deciding on which double stroller is right for you, head out to your local baby supply store and take a few models for a test drive. You can then still always order online for a better deal after you have decided on the double stroller of your choice.
