Best All-Terrain Double Strollers – Side-by-Side

Updated February 2019

All-terrain double strollers are generally big and hefty — though some of them come in a more compact size. They weigh from 27-40 lbs (heavy!) and typically run north of $400. Most people buy them because of the super duper smooooooth ride and easy steering that air-filled tires give you – mmmm, like butter.

That said, if you don’t need the off-road capability of an all-terrain stroller, you can save some money (and weight!) and get a regular side by side stroller.

The strollers on this page are generally not for running/jogging (except maybe for the Baby Trend Expedition); you’ll find those on the next page, Best Double Jogging Strollers.

Here are the best all-terrain double strollers, listed from lowest to highest price. Click on a stroller name for the full review.

Best All-Terrain Double Strollers

$ – Baby Trend Expedition Double Jogger ~ $199 – Economy Pick
A popular economy (full sized) all-terrain/jogging stroller with air-filled tires. A good value for the price, but definitely has a lower build quality (front wheel can wobble). Hence, not an earnest distance jogger, but fine for bumbling around or casual jogging.

$$ – Baby Jogger City Mini GT Double ~ $579 – Top Pick (compact size)
Our favorite “compact, all-terrain” double side-by-side with “forever air” tires (no need to re-inflate them every other week). Super easy to fold, great features, taller seats, fabulous canopies. Note: not for jogging, despite the confusing name
$$$ – Valco Baby Neo Twin ~$599 – Lightweight Pick
The Neo Twin is one of the lightest full-featured side-by-side strollers on the market. Great features. Incredibly easy to fold and carry. Pricey. Not for jogging.
$$$ — Valco Baby Snap Duo ~$699 — Lightweight, Good for Travel
Another incredibly lightweight lux and full-featured side-by-side with a simple fold, great maneuverability and storage. Awesome day-to-day and travel double stroller.

$$$ – Mountain Buggy Duet v3 ~$699 – Best for Tight Spaces
The narrowest side-by-side double stroller on the market. Very maneuverable; can take 2 infant car seats. Use Joey Shopping Bag when in singles mode. Not for jogging.

$$$ – 2018 Bumbleride Indie Twin ~ $769 – Luxury Pick
Beautiful eco-friendly stroller with excellent storage, suspension, ease of pushing, usability and folding/ locking. Great for twin parents and parents of kids close in age. Could be used for casual jogging.

$$$$ – 2019 Bugaboo Donkey2 ~ $1,299+
Available in mono, duo and twin versions. An innovative “convertible” side-by-side (can be single or double width) with a nice ride, a sharp look, and good storage. Downsides: smaller seats, VERY cumbersome fold. Large “folded footprint.” Not for jogging.

Bugaboo Donkey2

The Donkey is an innovative stroller that can transform from a single, to a double, back to a single again. Can be used with bassinets, car seats and regular seats. It’s a nice ride, has a sharp look, and good storage space. As a double, it’s still narrow and nimble, but the small seats won’t last you more than 3-4 years. The folding is sloppy, so I would personally expect more for this price. But for those seeking high style, a narrower side-by-side to easily get through doorways and the need to handle challenging terrain, the Bugaboo Donkey2 is, in fact, a good pick. Is it worth nearly 3x the price of the Mountain Buggy Duet? My opinion is no, but if the cool style and double rear-facing are worth it to you (and if you don’t ever need to fold the stroller), I think you’ll be quite happy with it!

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

I'm just writing to let you know how thankful I am for your information. The registry saved my life as it was my first kiddo. Getting your emails literally feels like I have a friend watching out for me! Ha. Thanks so much for your efforts and information.

Morgan H

You are, in my opinion, the best writer when it comes to delivering the message in a way that is helpful, real, and humorous. As each day goes by that I am ‘raising’ Patrick, I learn something new. Thanks again for all you do/write. Anxiously awaiting my next installment!

Kristi T.

I just wanted to send a quick HUGE ‘thank you’ for your weekly updates. Our baby is 2 weeks old today and your email today about sleep was so reassuring and good to read. I usually wait eagerly to see your emails in my inbox because I know it will a) make me feel not so insane and b) be really helpful advice that trumps all the other crazy stuff people are telling me to do. Can’t get enough!

Amy Christie

Meg!! I just wanted to email you and let you know how much I love your blog, and will continue to read it, and read it, and read it. Lol. Most likely until I’ve memorized it all. My point is that it’s an amazing blog, and I will turn to it for advice whenever I need to know something, and I want to say thank you as well for being so awesome and giving so much needed advice and information!!!

Elizabeth G.

I’m not sure who loves you more: me or my husband…

Tara N.

Morgan H.

I just wanted to say thank you for creating Lucie’s list and for your weekly emails. They got me through pregnancy, and now they’re getting me through the phase of newborn craziness. I think the email below alone just changed my life. It’s spot on. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Elyssa, mom to Maxwell, 5 weeks old

I was thankful for your emails with the first one but I am way beyond thankful for you now with the second! It seems I have forgotten all this stuff and it’s harder to remember things taking care of 2. So thank you, I appreciate you!

Jasmine, mom to Rico

Your emails are so wonderful. Every time I receive one it is right on target with what I’m going through with my first baby girl. Thank you for being my go-to resource! I find the amount of information out there on sleep and scheduling and feeding overwhelming. Your advice works for us and that is so incredibly helpful.

Tara & Baby Nola

I just had my first baby 5 weeks early (5 weeks ago). I really appreciate you, and your emails literally got me through some tough times. Your down-to-earth advice is incredible and I’ve recommended you to everyone I know! Keep up the amazing work, lady!!

Cassie Smith

KUDOS: A friend referred me to your site when I was pregnant and as a first time mom, it saved me! I was so overwhelmed with all the decisions you have to make and it was all too expensive to make a mistake. I continue to use your site as a bible and your topics are remarkably on track. Unfortunately, the 4 mo sleep regression was one that specifically had perfect timing 🙁 Poor me. LOL.

Mara B.

I just want to take a minute to send you a THANK YOU! We followed your advice on sleeping last night and for the first time in weeks we got to sleep for more than 2-3 hours at one time. You, my friend, are a genius! As a first time mom, I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to your emails each week. Your info on products is ahhhmazing! It makes navigating the jungle of baby junk a breeze. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s holiday!

Laura J.

Hi! Lucie’s List was a lifesaver for me… Still is actually. You told me things during my pregnancy that no one else did. And you’ve been dead on, every time. How things would go, what I would need, and all the ins and outs of the baby gear. I can’t thank you enough.

Hilary S.

Just wanted to let you know that I really love your newsletters. It’s right on schedule when I’m freaking out and not sure what is happening with my baby. The tone is great and just makes it easier for me to deal with my baby’s craziness :)

Ly G.

Seriously. You are the wind beneath my wings.

Anna F.

I’m 36 weeks along and I just want you to know that I have enjoyed your blog and your emails immensely. I’ve come across many other blogs, anecdotal accounts, and scientific/medical reports, just like any FTM who is simultaneously excited and scared out of her wits, but yours has continued to be my go-to resource. Again, I just love your detailed thoroughness and real-life frankness – but also you must know that a big plus is your humor. I LOVE that you don’t take yourself too seriously or think yourself (or your readers) above sprinkling in the occasional s- and f-bomb here and there because, frankly, sometimes that really is the most appropriate adjective! So, thank you so much for acknowledging that your readers are adults who can handle big-girl panties – and more importantly, for being such a fantastic resource to pregos like me. Thank you again and keep it coming!

Becky B.

Hi there. I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am for your emails. I am the last of my girlfriends to have a baby by about 5 years, I don’t have a relationship with my mother, my mother-in-law is not ‘my style’ (to put it nicely), and at some point all of the books people recommend start to contradict each other. The info you send out and the manner in which you present it (funny and real) is so very much appreciated by both me and my husband (I always forward them to him).

Sandra K.

My husband and I love your emails! Thank you for writing these. This is our first baby. Every time we have no idea what’s going on you send an email that has all the answers! Take care and keep up the great work!

Juan, Jennifer, & Joaquin

You deserve the 50,000 mark. You are an amazingly smart and insightful woman. I thank you for getting me through my pregnancy and beginning stages of baby life. If it wasn’t for you I would be more or less clueless. I look forward to your emails every week with new and cool info, and I thank you for sharing it.

Stella V.

I’m writing you from my recovery bed at George Washington Hospital in DC. I had my baby yesterday, and I just wanted to give you a shout and say thanks so much for your awesome weekly emails. They were so valuable. I did a ton of reading and no one quite said it as straight as you. They really helped me brace for each step that was to come. It’s a great service that you provide to bewildered first time mommies. I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate it!

Keisha M.

Thank you so much for your amazingly informative e-mails. They always seem to come JUST at the right time… Like when I’m holding my 3-day-old baby who is crying because she doesn’t want to eat, and in the other hand your e-mail about tiny baby stomachs arrives. One suggestion to that e-mail might also be to discuss engorgement. The Milk Fairy brought me too much rather than too little milk.

Betsey H.

You are AMAZING!!!! I absolutely love your blog! I stumbled upon it on Pinterest, and even though I’m a good 3-4 years away from having my first baby, I could not stop reading it! You made me laugh, want to puke and terrified me yet put me at ease all in a matter of a paragraph or two! Thank you for your wonderful insight and for telling me what I really have to look forward to.

Victoria S.

Hi there! I subscribed to your newsletter when I was about halfway through my pregnancy. My son is now 3 weeks old and I just want to say THANK YOU for making your website and newsletter! First of all it is hilarious and always makes me laugh which is much needed at this point of no sleep! 🙂 Second, the information you provide is priceless and much appreciated as a first time mom. I always look forward to the next newsletter that pops up in my email. Thank you for doing what you do! It has really helped me along my mommy-hood journey!

Kristi N.

Oh my goodness! I have a 3-week-old son and I could have used your site from my late pregnancy on! The postpartum hospital stuff? Why the heck does no one tell you about that stuff?! It would have been much less awful if I knew all of what you go through while in the hospital! But anywho, I’ve been all over your site all day and can’t believe how helpful it has been! This is seriously the first day in two weeks my baby blues haven’t kept me on the verge of tears! You are hilarious and so frickin helpful I can’t say it enough! Thank you so much for giving me many great laughs and lots of ‘a-HA!’ moments!

Sara and her little guy Maddox

THANK YOU!! I love your weekly emails! Love! And I have to mention I have a pretty particular funny bone aka you’d better be damn smart, witty, and/or brilliant to make me laugh OUT. LOUD. as you always do.

I sent my hubby your email on Postpartum issues, and after he read it I asked what he thought…the first words out of his mouth, ‘She’s funny.’ And he works at Yale.

Tish P.

There is one problem with your website – it’s highly addictive. I’ve been reading through it non-stop since yesterday. You could seriously put all this information together as a book, or say, booklet. I would totally pay for it!

THANK YOU for giving me just what I needed…a funny, realistic, distilled version of what a first time preggo needs to know!
