How Wide Are Double Strollers? Side-by-Side vs Tandem Doorway Fit
Side-by-side double strollers we track are 21.3 in to 33 in wide when open. Inline (tandem) doubles run 20 in to 26 in. To check a doorway, measure its clear opening with the door fully open and compare it with the stroller's published open width; our checker leaves one inch to spare by default, and you can change that.

A 30-inch doorway, a double stroller, and an inch to spare for your knuckles. Of the 52 doubles we track with a published open width, 22 would clear it.
Here’s how the layouts line up, and a checker for your own doors.
Side-by-side or inline?
A side-by-side puts the seats next to each other. An inline (tandem) puts one in front of the other. Here are both on the makers’ own numbers.

Doorway fit checker
Enter your narrowest doorway’s clear opening and the room you want to spare.
Uses each maker’s published open width. Doubles without a published width aren’t included. Check the maker’s label and manual.
How to measure a doorway
- Open the door as far as it goes.
- Measure from the edge of the door stop on one side to the face of the open door on the hinge side. That’s the clear opening.
- Measure every door on your daily route: front door, building entry, elevator, the nursery, and the back door to the car.
- Use the narrowest number in the checker.
The checker leaves one inch to spare by default; set the room you want. Each maker measures open width its own way, so check the product page for how it was measured.
Every double in one table
Narrowest first. Open width is for doors; folded size is for the trunk.

Where each layout comes up
Narrow halls. Start with your narrowest door in the checker. If no side-by-side clears it with room to spare, look at inline. Check length too for an elevator or a tight landing.
Twins from birth. The twin car seat frames we track are listed by their makers for two infant car seats. Check which car seats each maker lists. See twin car seat frames.
A toddler plus a newborn. A single-to-double stroller starts with one seat and adds the second. See single-to-double strollers.
Flying. Each airline sets its own stroller rules. Read how to gate-check a stroller before the trip.

Questions parents ask
Answers come from makers' published specs and official sources linked below.
How wide is a side-by-side double stroller?
It depends on the model. Among the doubles we track, the median side-by-side is wider than the median inline. The summary at the top of this guide gives the current range, and the table lists each model’s published open width.
Will a double stroller fit through a standard door?
It depends on the door and the stroller. Measure the clear opening with the door fully open and compare it with the stroller’s open width, leaving about an inch to spare.
Are tandem strollers narrower than side-by-side?
Among the doubles we track, the median inline (tandem) double is narrower than the median side-by-side. The side-by-side comparison in this guide shows the current ranges.
What is the narrowest double stroller?
The table in this guide sorts every double we track by published open width, narrowest first, and the summary at the top names the current narrowest.
Should I measure folded or open width for doorways?
Open width. Folded size matters for car trunks and closets, not doorways.
Can a double stroller hold two infant car seats?
Some are listed for it, including the twin car seat frames we track. Check each maker’s list of compatible car seats and adapters.
