Deciding between the UppaBaby Minu Duo vs. SilverCross Jet Double? We Got You Covered.

Double strollers are getting better and better! We know you love your single, but wait till you meet our latest crop of doubles. Today we're facing off two of our faves for travel: The UppaBaby Minu Duo vs. SilverCross Jet Double.

In this article, we'll tell you the features of both lightweight double strollers and how they differ. Double isn't trouble afterall!

How To Think About Double Strollers

First of all, you're going to want to get into the double stroller headspace. What should you be thinking about? Well, this is all about priorities and what your primary use is going to be. 

Weight

If you're going to be putting it in and out of a trunk or carrying it up stairs, a big priority will be the weight of the stroller. Of course you can cancel your Equinox membership if your stroller is giving you a great workout!

Keep in mind, often a stroller's weight speaks to the number of features so be sure you're evaluating on a multitude of factors. 

Width

Another major concern for people --- especially those in the city --- is the width of the stroller. Who wants to wonder whether or not you can get into a bodega or elevator door. 

Age Range

Another consideration is taking a look at what age can the stroller accommodate. If the stroller is narrower, for instance, it may have narrower seats --- making it good for small children but as they grow it might be a tight fit. 

A wider frame will have roomier seats. Just balance that with the doorways!

Check how deeply the individual seats recline as well. If you have a newborn, for instance, it's important that the seat will recline for 0+. But if your child is a toddler, a 6month+ recline is sufficient for naps. 

Features

Lastly, take a look at the stroller features. What sort of suspension does it offer? Are canopies UPF 50+? Is there a no-rethread harness. Rank the features from must-have to nice to have.

UppaBaby Minu Duo vs. SIlverCross Jet Double: Which One's For You

We'll admit: the decision between the UppaBaby Minu Duo vs. SilverCross Jet Double is not an easy one! It's (like everything when it comes to baby gear) a matter of priority.

If you want something narrow that will navigate the city streets and shops with ease, the Minu Duo is a great choice! And of course, if your little one is just born you can start using this stroller immediately as it's from birth to 50lbs. 

If you want something that's super light though a bit wider (perhaps you have bigger kiddos) the SilverCross Jet Double could be your stroller of choice. If your little one is newborn, you will have to wait to 3 months or use your car seat with it.
