Double Stroller Review

So you are having twins (congrats!) and you need a double stroller. You also are going to need a whole lot of everything else. Two times the amount of a normal newborn obviously! So why spend a mini-fortune on the stroller as well? In this article, I will take a look at some of the most economical double stroller options on the market.

Up first is the line from Joovy. The Caboose 2009 Tandem Stroller rings in at a number of online retailers for under $200. It has one large bench which can seat two toddlers side-by-side. The wheels are plastic versus air-filled. One interesting feature is the back platform behind the seating position which allows a child to stand up. Honestly, I’m not sure why exactly this is a truly desired feature. But it is on there for you nonetheless. It also has a removable canopy that can be adjusted to different positions. It has a car seat adapter which is compatible with almost all brands’ car seats. A storage basket and child tray with cup holders are some more features which round out this unit.

The quality is really pretty decent. Does it stack up to the more expensive brands – no. But for this price point, you’re still getting a lot of value. You can compare these other sit and stand stroller items to make good shopping choices. Once again, it’s super important to test these strollers out for yourself. Go online to retailers and check out all the pictures and features for yourself. And even more importantly after that, push these actually models yourself. That’s the best way to get the natural feel for the push and ride of each unit to see if it fits with what you are looking for.

Graco is another brand that is a popular choice. And in the double variety, they come through with the Graco DuoRider model. This can be found for under $160 at many online retailers as well. This model also has a side-by-side seating arrangement. In addition, the seats recline slightly and there are armbars much like on a roller coaster ride. These can be removed as well. This model has a very large set of cargo baskets underneath the seat to tote around all your belongings. The wheels are a bit on the small side and are plastic. You are not going to get the cushioned suspension ride with these stroller types as that is one of the cost-saving points. So there will be a rougher ride and a bit more work in pushing these than some of the higher priced sets. But again, you are still getting all the features you need. It is just a matter of the extras, the padding, the comfort level between the ranges. These double strollers will do the job very effectively and safely and get you and your twins from Point A to Point B.
