The ability to fold is the most important factor to consider when selecting a double travel pram.

The best double-strollers that we tested offer an almost flat recline. This makes it simple for your children to lie down or eat a snack while on the move. However, some products have a different recline for each seat (the front seat on the UPPAbaby Vista Double v2 double stroller with bassinet reclines almost to the floor and the second seat remains almost upright). This type of difference in position can cause kids to fight over which seat they would like to sit in.

It is important to consider the dimensions of the trunk of your car, as some double travel strollers can be bulky and will not fit in the backs of smaller vehicles. For this reason, we recommend choosing a double stroller that can fit comfortably in your trunk and can be easily folded and stored when not in use. We also recommend double strollers with a small footprint, low weight, and a minimalist design. The ZOE Twin+ is one of these. It's the smallest double stroller that we tried. With just over 19 pounds, it's among the lightest strollers and still fit within the airline gate check luggage weight limits. It's Disney-size-approved!
