Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller gives parents of multiple kids an enjoyable way to take them around. The best models are reasonably easy to fold and carry, fit well inside a trunk of a car, and provide a variety of seating arrangements for children of different age groups.

If your children are close in age, you could decide that a sit-and stand or side-by-side style is the best method to avoid sibling fights over the best seat to use. We also like options which accept two infant car seats, such as the UPPAbaby v2 double.

Comfort

A comfortable stroller is key for your toddler and baby. Select a stroller with comfortable seats and swiveling tires on the front to smooth road bumps. Also, choose one with buckles that can be easily fastened and unfastened.

Look for a large, UPF 50+ canopy that provides sun protection for both children. Another comfort feature is adjustable footrests that allow your child to stand in the back seat if they get tired. Some double strollers provide this feature to both children, like the Safety 1st model that is the most popular.

The number of seats you select in your stroller will depend on the weights and ages of the children who are who are riding in it. A side-by-side baby stroller allows you to monitor two children at the same time which is ideal for twins or siblings of similar age. It's larger than other models, and can be difficult to maneuver in tight or narrow spaces.

On the other hand, a sit-and stand stroller gives older siblings the chance to stand while you push the baby in a car seat for infants. It's not the best choice for infants, but it can be beneficial for older children who can walk longer distances.

A convertible stroller is an additional option. It has multiple seating configurations and can be used for years as a single or double. Rebecca says this kind of stroller would be an ideal choice for parents who intend to buy one stroller and use it with both children. It's more expensive than the top tandem model however it will last many years 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 the other options we tested however it does have sleek, modern designs and high-quality materials. It's compatible with UPPAbaby infant car seats, and has an adjustable handlebar that can be telescopically adjusted and brakes that are easy to press. It also comes with tires filled with foam that won't go flat and a large storage basket.

Easy of Use

A double stroller is not a cheap investment, so parents are often looking for an option that is easy to use. This means a variety of features, ranging from the ability to fold it compactly to adjusting the height of the handlebar for different users, should be readily available. Certain models have multiple storage compartments that allow families to organize their belongings for easy access. They also include parent consoles and organizer bags that keep keys, phones, and other essentials at the ready.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand double running stroller, for instance is a budget-friendly stroller that includes an adjustable system. This allows you to add another seat, convert the stroller into a triple by adding the addition of a board, or change it into a single mode by adding a rear bench. This flexibility allows lightest double stroller strollers to last for as long as it is needed.

In terms of maneuverability, many side-by-side models are difficult to maneuver, but our Lab testers were pleasantly surprised by the ease of operation and maneuverability of the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. This model accepts all of our top-rated infant car seats and is suitable for twins or kids of varying age. The telescoping handlebar as well as the simple-to-use brakes make it much easier to maneuver over the other double infant strollers strollers we've test.

Furthermore it's lightweight at only 18 pounds and folds in half to make a slim and sleek box that is easy to transport and to store. It's also simple to open and close with an latch, and requires no tools for assembly. It was a top pick from our Lab experts for its durability and versatility, as well as its price.

Ease of Storage

Double strollers need to be able to accommodate diaper bags, water bottles, snacks, toys and jackets for the kids and parents' wallets, keys, phones and other belongings. They should also be able to glide across different surfaces and maneuver in tight spaces. When not in use they often have to fit into the trunk of a vehicle.

To meet these requirements Double strollers are constructed in a variety of designs. They can be tandem double buggy or side-by-side with seats that can be removed or fixed or even be outfitted with infant car seats and a riding board. They can be designed to accommodate a single toddler or twins. Some are designed for running while others are used on beaches or on trails for hiking.

Modular designs are especially beneficial for families who need to expand their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle S, for example is designed to permit parents to mix and match seat units, cot attachments, and car seats so that the stroller can be used by the entire family from birth to toddlerhood.

Other double strollers with modular designs like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double can be converted to a single child by using the bassinet or baby seat or a toddler using a standing board or jump seat (sold separately). The UPPAbaby is an adaptable stroller that can be configured 30 different ways. It's perfect for twins, siblings or a growing family.

The UPPAbaby is also renowned for its green initiatives and it is a proponent of sustainability. The UPPAbaby comes with various colors and its fabrics are made from recycled water bottles.

Safety

While Double Stroller For Twins strollers have a bad reputation as cumbersome and difficult to maneuver, the new generation of strollers are sleek and offer many options for customization. You will find one that can fit an infant car seat, making it easier to travel with two children.

If you're looking for a double stroller that can be used side-byside or in line, be sure it is JPMA-certified to ensure it conforms to safety standards. It also has to pass regular inspections. You should also choose suspension systems that provide smooth riding and doesn't cause bumps, or jolting for your little ones in the front seat. If your stroller is equipped with a handlebar, make sure it's adjustable to fit Moms and Dads of different heights.

A canopy is another essential feature that protects your children from harsh sunlight or inclement weather. The best canopy features windows that can be reversible or a transparent plastic peek-aboo which lets you watch your child's progress without causing disturbance. Some canopies also come with visors to block direct sun.

Another important metric to take into consideration is how easily the stroller folds and unfolds. Compact strollers are simpler to store in the trunk of your car and take up less room. Also, strollers that have a single hand-release button that folds the chassis are much easier to use.

When deciding which double stroller, consider the age difference between your children as well as the type of trip you intend to take the strollers on. If your children are similar in age, you can opt for a tandem high/low stroller to allow them to be together on outings. On the other the other hand, if you have a large age gap then you may want to consider a side-by-side model that gives them more privacy.

If you're planning on using your stroller with baby car seats, look for a model that works with the top-rated car seat brands and has good attachment scores. This won't have as significant impact on your overall rating as other metrics, but it's an important consideration if you're planning on using adapters for car seats.
