Buying a Double Infant Stroller A double stroller gives parents with multiple children an enjoyable way to take them around. The best models are easy to fold and carry and can easily fit inside a trunk of a car, and offer versatile seating arrangements for children of varying ages. Parents with children close in age may find a side-by-side or sit-and-stand design is the best to avoid sibling fights about who is allowed to ride in which seat. We also recommend options that accept two infant car seats like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double. Comfort A comfortable stroller is key for both your baby and toddler. Select one with padding for the seats, a wide base, and swivelling front wheels to smooth out bumps in the road, and buckles that are easy to secure and remove. You can also look for a large UPF 50+ canopy that offers sun protection and ample coverage for both kids. Another feature that is comfortable is the adjustable footrests that let your child stand up in the back seat when they are tired. Some double strollers give this option to both children, including the Safety 1st model that is the most popular. The number of seats you can have in your stroller will depend on the weight and age of the children using it. For instance, a side-by-side stroller allows you to keep an eye on both kids at the same time which is perfect for twins or siblings that are close in age. However, it's generally larger than other configurations and can be difficult to navigate in narrow spaces or crowded areas. On the other hand, a stand-and-sit stroller gives older siblings a chance to stand while you push your younger child in the infant car seat. It's not the best choice for newborns but can be useful for older children who can walk for longer distances. Another alternative is a convertible stroller, which offers multiple seating arrangements and can be used as a single or double for several years. Rebecca says that this kind of stroller is an excellent choice for parents who want to purchase one stroller, but want to use it with two kids. It's more expensive than the top tandem pick but it will last for a long time and has a great resale price, 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 strollers we've tested, but it has a sleek, modern design and high-quality materials. It's compatible with UPPAbaby infant car seats, and it has a telescoping handlebar as well as easy-to-press brakes. It also has foam-filled tires that won't go flat and large storage basket. Easy of Use A double stroller can be an expensive purchase. Parents are therefore looking for models that are easy to use. This means a variety of features, from the ability to fold it compactly to the ability to adjust the height of the handlebar to accommodate different users, must be readily available. Some models have multiple storage compartments to enable families to keep their belongings separate for easy access. They also come with parent consoles and organizer bags that keep keys, phones and other necessities on the ready. A stroller should be able to adapt to the needs of your family as they grow older as well. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double, for instance is a budget-friendly stroller that includes an adjustable system. This allows you to add a seat, transform the stroller into a triple using the addition of a board, or change it into a single mode by adding a bench in the rear. This flexibility lets double strollers to last for as long as is required. In terms of maneuverability, many side-by-side models are difficult to maneuver. However, our Lab testers were impressed with the ease of using and maneuverability of Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. This model is compatible with 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 more maneuverable over the other double strollers we tested. On the other side the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double has sleek design and a large storage basket that can accommodate two car seats for toddlers or one infant car seat plus an ordinary child seat. It can be used by one child as young as three years old. The tires are filled with foam and designed to not go flat. The UPPAbaby folds up in half and is simple to store and transport. It's also very light at just 18 pounds. It's also easy to open and close with a latch and requires no tools to put together. It was a top choice among our Lab experts for its durability, shopability, and affordability. Simple of Storage Double strollers need to be able to hold diaper bags and water bottles, snacks, toys and jackets for the kids, as well as parents keys, wallets phones, and other items. They should also be able move over different surfaces and maneuver through tight spots. They usually have to fit into the trunk of a car, so they must be easy to fold up and compact when not being used. To meet these requirements Double strollers can be built in a wide range of designs. double stroller for twins can be side-by-side or tandem and can also have fixed or removable seats or even be outfitted with infant car seats and a riding board. They can be made to accommodate one toddler or infant or twins. Some are designed for jogging, while others can be used on trails for hiking or at the beach. Modular designs are especially beneficial for families who need to expand their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle, for example, allows parents to mix and combine seats units, cots and car seats to make the stroller fit the entire family from infant to toddlerhood. Other double strollers with modular designs like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double, can be adapted for one child with the use of bassinets or a baby seat or a toddler's with an elevated seat or a standing board (sold separately). The UPPAbaby is an adaptable stroller that can be set up in a variety of ways. It's great for twins, siblings or a growing family. The UPPAbaby is also known for its green initiatives and it is a proponent of sustainability. The UPPAbaby comes in various colors, and its materials are made from recycled water bottles. During testing, our tester Raul used the double stroller with his 3 year old daughter and 5-month-old son. Raul says it was simple to disassemble and unpack because the parts came in neatly labeled boxes, with instructions and a video code. The UPPAbaby also comes with a telescoping handlebar and brakes that are operated by your thumb. Its swiveling wheels on the front can aid in making tighter turns on city sidewalks. Safety Double strollers are often accused of being heavy and difficult to maneuver. They're also bulky. However, the latest models are sleeker and offer a variety of customization options. You can find one that fits an infant car seat, making it easier to travel with two children. If you're looking for a side-byside or in-line double stroller, be sure it's JPMA certified to ensure it meets minimum safety standards and goes through regular inspections. You'll want to ensure that the suspension system gives an easy ride for your children in the front seat. If your stroller has an adjustable handlebar, make sure it's adjustable to ensure both parents can use it. A canopy is another essential feature that can shield your children from the harsh sun or the harsh weather. The best canopy features windows that can be reversible or a transparent plastic peek-aboo that lets you monitor your child without causing disturbance. Some canopies have visors that block direct sunlight. The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is an important aspect to take into consideration. Strollers that fold compactly when folded are easier to store and take less space in the trunk of your car. Also, strollers with only one button to release the hand that folds the chassis are more user-friendly. When choosing a double stroller to buy be aware of the age gap between your children and the kind of trip you intend to take the strollers on. If your children are similar in age, you could opt for a tandem high/low stroller in order to allow them to be together on outings. On the other hand, if your children have a significant age gap, you might choose a side-byside model that offers them more privacy. If you're planning on using your stroller with baby car seats, search for a model that is compatible with top-rated car seat brands and has a high attachment score. This will not have as much of an impact on the overall rating as other factors but it is still important if you plan to use adapters for car seats.
