Cortina Together
Created for the growing family, Cortina Together offers parents various seating options that can be adjusted to the individual needs of each child and preferences. The double stroller's standard stroller seats feature reclining backrests and independent canopies. The seats are also designed to accept Chicco's KeyFit or KeyFit 30, the #1 baby car seat that is rated the highest in both the rear and front seat. (Car seat sold separately).
A large, zipper-access basket at the rear provides ample storage for gear. The handle is padded to accommodate mom or dad. The wheels and suspension of the tandem double stroller provide an easy ride across all terrains. The 1-touch linked rear breaks when you tap it, making stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well in terms of ease of use. This is based on how simple it is to set up and fold the stroller and to adjust the safety harness, open and close the snack tray, engage and deengage the brakes, then lift and carry the folded stroller as if placing it into a trunk, and for compatible double strollers install and take off the infant car seat.
This model has some shortcomings. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded which puts it close to the extreme end of our metric. It also has a limited view when a car seat is mounted in the rear. The front tray release can be difficult to use, particularly when used for a long time. Despite these issues, we consider this to be an excellent stroller for your family.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - an affordable, lightweight stroller for families with 2 children. Its lock wheels on the front rotate for smooth maneuverability on flat surfaces and lock to provide stability on bumpy surfaces. It also comes with an umbrella fold that folds down in a matter of seconds and can be set up for easy transport. Its lightweight aluminum frame, foam handle and carrying strap makes it one of the easiest double strollers to lift during our tests.
This side-by-side stroller offers seating that reclines independently and foot rests to provide the best comfort for both children. The large canopy provides UPF 50 protection and includes a peekaboo view for easy monitoring. We would have liked to have the canopy vented to allow more airflow. We also weren't thrilled that the cup holder is quite high on the frame, meaning you'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping test, the Jeep fell over with only 39 degrees of incline which is higher than average for a double stroller. It's also heavier than our top picks, however, it has plenty of storage space at a reasonable cost and has a decent amount of padding in the seats as well as the handle.
This stroller is multi-functional, and has three modes. It can be used as a walker (for things), Jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for children), or car seat mode. It can be used with an car seat for an infant. However, pediatricians advise that you wait until your child is six months old before allowing them to jog with them. It's black and has a limited lifetime warranty.
