How to Get a European Double Stroller in the U.S.
Finding a European double stroller in the United States is not as difficult, or as expensive, as it may initially seem. Many retailers, both large and boutique, import European style strollers. The major benefit of already imported strollers is that you forgo the shipping costs and import taxes. Importing a stroller on your own can be done, but the cost may be much higher than purchasing a European double stroller that has already been brought to the States.

Find the model of European double stroller that best suits your needs. You may prefer the Micralite Stroller, which Double-Strollers.com reviews: "With a single-handed lift of the handle, the front wheels effortlessly retract and disappear between the rear wheels leaving the buggy freestanding and ready to be stored." If you prefer a more classic look, Double-Strollers.com states that Silver Cross Stollers "is still best known for their old fashioned yet luxurious prams."
