Buying Guide For Double Strollers

If you have two kids who are similar in age A double stroller can be a valuable investment. These narrow tandem double stroller buggies as well as flexible side by side double stroller by side buggies let you keep both children in the same place while you shop or in parks, or whatever else life throws at you.

Comfort

Comfort is a major factor to take into consideration when buying a double-stroller. This could include the seating arrangement as well as the overall size, which can have an impact on the ease of use and storage. "Parents must determine what the stroller weighs as well as its dimensions when folded," says child development expert and mom Katie Billingsley of Fourth Trimester Postnatal Retreat. "They should also think about the recline options for seats as well as the age ranges of their children to ensure that it's a perfect fit."

A quality double stroller should be able to navigate a variety of surfaces easily from suburban sidewalks to parks, and from toddler booster seats to infant car seats. It should also have flexible seating arrangements for children of different age and comfort features such as peek-a-boo windows and adjustable canopies to shield children from rain or sun.

For many families, a double stroller is likely to be used from birth and into childhood, so it's important to think about seating options. Billingsley states that there are two major categories of in-line seating with one seat in front of the other and side-byside seating with seats next to each other. "Some parents prefer an in-line stroller due to its sleek appearance and versatility, while others like a wagon-style double stroller to maximize space for heavy items or groceries."

While some products may have different recline options--with one seat nearly flat while the other remains relatively upright--this type of disparity is more prevalent in in-line models. Billingsley recommends choosing a product with an almost flat recline as well as leg rests that can be adjusted for both seats to ensure the children can both lie back comfortably.

She also suggests that parents search for strollers with storage compartments to allow them to quickly access personal items, snacks and toys moving about. She also suggests that it is beneficial to find a stroller which includes a parent console or organizer bag that is attached to the handlebars. This can aid parents in keeping their essentials at hand.

Some of the top-rated double strollers can be expanded that allows parents to modify the set-up based on the needs of their growing family. For instance, the Mockingbird Expandable is a highly rated double stroller that can be used with a single seat from birth and then converted to tandem (with the addition of a second seat and bassinet) as the child gets older.

Safety

Double strollers have to be able to support the weight of two people, plus any additional cargo. Strollers must also be easy to move and push, particularly in tight areas and over challenging terrain. The best strollers feature ergonomic handlebars and adjustable heights which allow parents to maintain a good posture when pushing them. A no-rethread harness which makes the adjustment of seat belts faster and easier to do, is a nice feature to look for. A sturdy brake system and wheels that glide across any surface are essential safety features.

Some parents prefer a side-by-side design that allows both children to see each other on family outings. This arrangement can help prevent sibling fights over which child is allowed to sit in which spot but it's not a guarantee. If the seats are positioned at different levels, one child might be in a position to punch or kick the other during the course of a walk.

For parents of twins or siblings close in age, a tandem-style stroller is a great option for being able see both kids at once. These double pushchair strollers can be larger, and might not fit through some doors inside. For maximum flexibility, think about a single-to-double stroller that transitions from a single to a tandem in various ways, such as the well-known CYBEX Gazelle S. These models can be adapted to a wide range of configurations, and permit you to insert infant car seats or cot attachments depending on your needs.

If you decide to purchase a side-by-side by side double stroller or tandem-style stroller, make sure the product is JPMA-certified to meet the strictest safety standards. Be sure to check the weight limits that apply to each seat, since over-weighting could lead to frame fatigue or other issues.

While it's easy to concentrate on the many bells and whistles on the latest stroller, it's important to be aware that a stroller basically a baby carrier that is transported for long durations of time. It should be comfortable for both passengers and easy to clean and maintain, and in the ideal case it should have an easy-to-use, familiar design so that the person pushing it can easily maneuver it without having to think twice about how to move forward or turn left or right, or even apply the brakes.

Easy of Use

For families that are on the move, a double stroller should be able to maneuver easily over a variety of terrains. Strollers that have features like windows that peek-a-boo, adjustable canopies and sturdy brake systems are vital to ensure the safety of your children. But there are also other factors that make them simpler to use. For example, a stroller must be small enough to fit in the trunk of your car, yet provide ample storage space for groceries and other belongings. Additionally, you should consider thoughtful features such as a cup holder for one parent as well as a console for parents and an eating tray for children -- all things that can make life on the go with two kids significantly easier.

In our tests we rated the strollers on how it did on a variety of surfaces and how well it could maneuver in tight spaces. We also assessed the ease with which it was possible to fold and unfold and whether or not a particular feature added to the overall functionality of the stroller. A stroller without rethread straps is easy to adjust the seat belts. This can be a big benefit for parents who are constantly moving around, since it eliminates the need to rethread their harness.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double scored high in this measure, since it offers a wide range of seating configurations and additional accessories to accommodate growing families. The wagon-style double stroller expands to accommodate two seats as well as a bassinet, or a toddler-friendly riding board, which is ideal for active families planning long, tiring days with multiple kids of various age. It also glides effortlessly over cobblestones, ball fields and pavements. It also folds flat for easy storage in a trunk or closet. The design of this stroller is simple and intuitive and was a big hit with our test subject Kerry. The clever packaging, clearly marked sections and user's manual made it easy to put this stroller together.

Storage

Double strollers can carry twice more than a single one, so make sure you look for plenty of storage space. Ideally, you'll want a stroller that can accommodate the essentials for both kids--nappies bottles, snacks, and toys, in addition to parents' belongings like wallets, phones keys, wallets and phones. Find baskets under the seat as well as other pockets, and think about a stroller with an expanding cargo area that can carry heavy items such as lunch bags and diaper bags.

A good double stroller must be able to adjust as your family grows. For instance certain models have an attachment for a bassinet that can accommodate infants, while others feature child seats that can expand with your children until they're able to move to the back of the stroller, Billingsley says. Some double strollers permit older siblings to join in the fun by riding on the rider board.

There are many double strollers on the market. You can pick from high-performance models that are ideal for rough terrain, to more budget-friendly options that you can use every day. As you shop, read reviews and suggestions from families like yours to get an idea of what to expect with the double stroller you pick.

Double strollers come in three different designs such as tandem, side-byside, and wagon-style. Billingsley states that side-by-side strollers are the most adaptable and ideal for twins as well as children of a similar age. Tandem double strollers, on the contrary, have two seats that are arranged next to each other and facing in opposite directions--a good option for kids of the same age, or for siblings who like to interact with each other. Tandem strollers are more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces, and less likely to be able to fit through doors.
