3. Delta Children LX Side by Side

It also has an adjustable reclining seat that can be positioned in several positions as well as an adult cup holder. Other important features include 360-degree shock-absorbing front wheels as well as two large storage bags that hang from the ceiling.
In our test of push and turn it performed better than most of the other cheap strollers we tested, but it's still not the easiest to maneuver over uneven ground or through doorways that are narrow. The sunshades are among the ones we tested the smallest, providing only a direct overhead coverage and no peekaboo windows. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 has a much larger canopy.
It took us just under three minutes to put together the Delta using a standard manual. None of the parts required tools. However, it is missing some critical features that we think you should not compromise on in a double stroller, like a large basket and reclining seats with adjustable leg rests.
