Buying a Double Infant Stroller A double stroller is a convenient way for parents to transport multiple children. The best models are easy to fold and carry, fit well in the trunk of a car and have a variety of seating options for children of different ages. Parents with children close in age may find that a side-by-side or sit-and-stand style works best to avoid sibling squabbles over who gets to ride in which car seat. We also like the options that accept two infant car seats such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double. Comfort A comfortable stroller is key for both your baby and toddler. Pick one with padded seats, a wide base, and swivelling front wheels to smooth bumps in the road and buckles that are simple to secure and remove. You could also consider a generous, UPF 50+ canopy, which provides sun protection as well as plenty of coverage for both kids. Another comfort feature is adjustable footrests that allow your child to stand in the back of the seat when they are tired. Some double strollers, like the most popular model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children. The number of seats in your stroller will depend on the weight and age of the children using it. For instance, a side by side stroller lets you keep an eye on both kids at the same time, so it's perfect for twins or siblings that are close in age. It's larger than other models and may be difficult to maneuver in tight or narrow areas. Sit-and-stand prams allow older siblings to stand while you push a smaller child in the infant car seat. It's not a good choice for babies but it's an ideal choice once your kiddos are around three years old and able to walk longer distances. A convertible stroller is a different alternative. It has multiple seating options and can be used as a single or double. Rebecca says this type of stroller is a great choice for parents who want to purchase a single stroller but want to use it with two kids. “It's more expensive than our top tandem selection however, it will last for a long time, has a great resale value and is incredibly versatile,” she says. This stroller by UPPAbaby is a double stroller that converts into a single or a toddler-and-RumbleSeat configuration. It's not as compact as some of the other options we tested however it does have an elegant, modern design and high-quality materials. It's compatible with UPPAbaby infant car seats, and it has an adjustable handlebar that can be telescopically adjusted and easy-to-press brakes. It comes with foam-filled wheels that won't flatten and a large storage bin. Easy of Use A double stroller can be a costly investment. Parents are therefore seeking models that are simple to use. It should include a variety of features, including the ability to fold the stroller into a compact size and adjust the handlebar height to accommodate different users. Certain models have multiple storage compartments to enable families to keep their belongings separate to make it easier to access. They also have parent consoles and organizer bags that store keys, phones and other necessities on hand. A stroller should be able to adapt to the changing requirements of your family as time goes by. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double, for instance is a budget-friendly stroller with an adjustable system. It allows you to add a seat, transform the stroller into a triple using the addition of a board, or change to a single-mode by adding a rear bench. This flexibility will let double strollers work for as long as you need it to. In terms of maneuverability, a lot of side-by-side models are difficult to maneuver. However, our Lab testers were impressed by the ease of use and maneuverability of the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. This model is compatible with all of our top-rated car seats for infants and can be used by twins or children of various ages. The telescoping handlebar as well as the simple-to-use brakes make it much easier to maneuver over the other double strollers we've tested. On the other side, the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double has a streamlined design and a large storage basket that can fit two car seats for toddlers or one infant car seat plus a regular child seat. It can be used by a single child up to age three. The tires are filled with foam and designed to last and not wear out. The UPPAbaby folds in half and is simple to store and transport. It's also very light and weighs only 18 pounds. It is also easy to close and open using a latch, and requires no tools to assemble. It was a top pick from our Lab experts due to its durability and shopability as well as its affordability. Simple of Storage Double strollers should be able to carry diaper bags, water bottles snacks, toys, and jackets for children, as well as parents' wallets, keys phones and other things. They must also be able to glide over different surfaces, and maneuver in tight spaces. When not in use they often have to fit into the trunk of a car. Double strollers come in a variety of designs to meet the needs of parents. They can be side-by-side or tandem, and they can have seats that are removable or fixed, or be equipped with infant car seats as well as a riding board. They can also be designed to accommodate a single toddler or newborn, or twins. Some are designed to be used for running while others are used at the beach or on trails for hiking. Modular designs are especially useful for families that have to get bigger for their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle S for instance is designed to allow parents to mix and match their seat units, cot attachments, and car seats so that the stroller can serve the family from birth until toddlerhood. Other double strollers that are modular, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double can be modified to accommodate one child using baby seats or a bassinet, or a toddler by using an elevated board or jump seat (sold separately). The UPPAbaby is a versatile stroller that can be set up in a variety of ways. It's ideal for twins, siblings or an expanding family. The UPPAbaby is also renowned for its green initiatives and it is a proponent of sustainability. The UPPAbaby is available in many colors and the fabrics are made out of recycled water bottles. Raul one of our testers used this double stroller during testing with his five-month-old son as well as three-year-old daughter. He said it was easy to remove the components and assemble them since they were neatly labeled boxes with video instructions and instructions. Another amazing aspect of the UPPAbaby is its telescoping handlebar, as well as one-handed brakes that can be operated using only your thumb. The swiveling wheels on its front can assist in making more precise turns on sidewalks in cities. Safety Double strollers are often criticized for being cumbersome and difficult to maneuver. They are also heavy. However, the newest models are sleeker and offer many options for customization. You can find one that is compatible with an infant car seat, making it easier to travel with two children. Whether you're looking for a side-byside or in-line double stroller, make sure it's JPMA certified to ensure that it meets minimum safety standards and goes through regular inspections. You'll want to make sure that the suspension system provides an easy ride for your children who are in the front seat. If double pushchair is equipped with a handlebar, be sure it's adjustable to fit parents and dads of various heights. A canopy can shield your baby from harsh sunlight and inclement weather. The best canopy features the option of a reversible flap, or a transparent plastic peek-a-boo windows to let you monitor your children without disturbing them. Some canopies come with visors to block the direct sun. Another important metric to take into consideration is how easy the stroller folds and unfolds. Compact strollers are easier to store in your car's trunk and take up less space. Strollers that come with a single button to fold the chassis are also simpler to use. When shopping for a double stroller, bear in mind the distance your children are in age and what type of outings you're planning to take them on. For instance, if you're children are in the same age range it is possible to opt for a tandem high-low stroller to ensure that they can get to know each other during outings. If your children are separated by a large age gap You can choose a model that allows them to have more privacy. If you're planning on using your stroller with baby car seats, search for a model that works with top-rated car seats and has a high attachment score. This won't have as big of an impact on your overall rating as the other factors, but it's an important consideration if you're planning on using adapters for car seats.
