Traveling to Japan/Korea with Kids: Double vs Single Stroller

Traveling with kids can be challenging, especially when it comes to navigating tight spaces in countries like Japan and Korea. One common dilemma parents face is whether to bring a double umbrella stroller or two single umbrella strollers.

Having traveled to both Japan and Korea with my two kids, I can offer some insights on this matter. While a double umbrella stroller may seem more convenient in terms of pushing both kids at once, it can be difficult to maneuver in crowded areas and narrow streets.

On the other hand, having two single umbrella strollers allows for more flexibility in navigating tight spaces. Each parent can push a stroller, making it easier to weave through crowds and navigate through crowded markets or busy train stations.

Additionally, having two single strollers gives each child their own space and independence. They can nap comfortably without disturbing each other, and you can easily attend to the needs of each child without having to maneuver around a double stroller.

Ultimately, the decision between a double and single stroller depends on your personal preference and the specific needs of your kids. If you prioritize convenience and don't mind the potential challenges of navigating with a double stroller, then that may be the better option for you. However, if you value flexibility and ease of navigation in tight spaces, then two single strollers may be the way to go.

Regardless of your choice, be sure to consider the layout of the places you'll be visiting, the age and mobility of your kids, and your own comfort level in handling strollers in crowded areas.
