The Best Double Stroller For Travel

Conquering Epic Family Adventures with the Jeep Scout Double Stroller: A Glowing Review

When it comes to epic family adventures, having the right double stroller can make all the difference.

Last summer, I let my in-laws convince me to take my infant daughter and my toddler son from Boston to Portugal for a family wedding. 

As soon as I booked my plane tickets, I panicked. We had just returned from a family trip to NYC where we had tried to get by with two separate umbrella strollers. It had been an exhausting disaster. 

Two Strollers, No Free Hands

We both had to push a stroller at all times. That meant no one could hold a coffee, and the whole family had to stop whenever I wanted to snap a picture (which was often).

So with the vivid memories of having to haul a baby on one hip, and a stroller up and down the stairs of the New York City subway system without any hope of catching a break, I started Googling.

  • What is the best double stroller to buy?
  • Can a 4-year-old and 1-year-old share a double stroller?
  • Will British Airlines let me gate check a double stroller?
  • What is the best double stroller for an infant and a toddler?

After days upon days of Google, searching on Amazon and reading hundreds of reviews in detail, I finally settled on the Jeep Scout Double Stroller in Lunar Burgundy, and I am so glad that I did.

With its impressive features, sleek design, and reliable performance, this stroller has become an essential companion for our family’s explorations. Join me as I delve into the highlights of this remarkable stroller and why it’s perfect for your own adventures.

Design and Durability: Ready for Anything

The Jeep Scout Double Stroller boasts a sleek Lunar Burgundy design that turns heads wherever we go.

Its extendable European-style canopy not only adds a touch of elegance but also provides excellent sun protection for our little ones.

The reflective piping is a standout feature, ensuring visibility even in crowded spaces.

Built with durability in mind, this stroller withstands the rigors of our adventures, from bustling city streets to rough terrains at the zoo or carnival.

The stroller is officially rated up to 35 lbs per child. My 4-year old is now 40 lbs, and my 22-month old is 25 lbs. I still use the the Jeep Scout Double Stroller almost daily.

Since I purchased the stroller 9 months ago, we have flown to Portugal and Key West and taken two car trips to New York City. This stroller has survived a lot of abuse and still looks brand new. 

Smooth Maneuverability: Effortless Exploration

One of the standout features of the Scout Double Stroller is its exceptional maneuverability. The 5.5-inch wheels, coupled with front swivel and suspension, make navigation a breeze. Whether we’re strolling through crowded malls, exploring cobblestone streets in Europe, or traversing the bustling sidewalks of New York City, this stroller glides effortlessly. It offers a smooth and comfortable ride for our little ones, ensuring they remain content throughout our adventures.

Porto and Boston are both filled with bumpy cobblestone streets, and New York always seems to have some sidewalk hazard to dodge.

Not only was this stroller able to handle all that with ease, but my little one was even able to catch a few naps in the stroller on the go.

Comfort and Versatility: Happy Kids, Happy Parents

The reclining seat with multiple positions in the Jeep Scout Double Stroller ensures optimal comfort for our children. From napping on-the-go to sitting upright and taking in the sights, the adjustable seat accommodates their needs. With a weight capacity of up to 35 lbs per seat, this stroller accommodates growing children with ease.

My now 4 year-old never buckles up in this stroller. He simply hops in and out as he wishes when we are out and about and he needs a little break. The seat is deep enough that we have not had any issues with him having this freedom.

Abundant Storage: Gear up and Go

As a parent, having ample storage space is a game-changer. The Scout Double Stroller comes equipped with an abundance of storage options, allowing us to carry all our essentials and more. From diaper bags to snacks, extra clothing, and souvenirs from our travels, there’s a designated spot for everything. This ensures we have everything our little ones need within arm’s reach, without compromising on comfort or convenience.

I usually stick my phone. keys, sunblock, diapers, and wipes in the mesh pockets on the backside of the stroller.

There is a plastic cup holder for my ever present signature Dunkin Donuts iced coffee.

There are even little hammock pockets under the stroller where I sometimes stuff a few sweatshirts when the weather is variable.

Travel-Friendly and Lightweight: Explorations Near or Far

The lightweight design of the Jeep Scout Double Stroller makes it a breeze to travel with. It folds easily and compactly, fitting into tight spaces and making transportation a cinch. We’ve taken it on family vacations to Europe, bustling cities like New York City and Boston, and even sunny getaways to Key West. Its versatility and portability have made it an invaluable travel companion, allowing us to explore new destinations with ease.

Both British Airlines and Jetblue let us use the stroller to get the kids through the airport, and allowed us to gate check it at the end of the jet bridge so that we could retrieve at our arrival jet bridge to get through the airport. 

Plane travel with two kids, two car seats, and too much luggage is no joke. It was huge asset to be able to keep our stroller handy so that we didn’t have to carry our tired, cranky kids through large airports. 

Gate-checking the double stroller was a huge relief.

Conclusion

The Jeep Scout Double Stroller in Lunar Burgundy has truly exceeded our expectations and has become an essential part of our family’s adventures. Its sleek design, durability, smooth maneuverability, and versatile features make it a standout choice for parents seeking a reliable and comfortable double stroller. With ample storage and travel-friendly design, it’s the perfect companion for explorations near or far. Invest in this exceptional stroller, and embark on your own epic family adventures with ease and style.
