Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double buggy from birth stroller offers parents with multiple children an easy way to move their children around. The best models are simple to fold and transport and fit nicely inside a trunk of a car, and provide a variety of seating arrangements for children of various age groups.

Parents of children who are close to age may find a side-by-side or sit-and stand style is best to avoid sibling squabbles over who rides in which car seat. We also like the options that accept two infant car seats like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double.

Comfort

It is essential that your baby and toddler are both at ease in the stroller. Pick a stroller that has padded seats and swiveling wheels at the front to smooth bumps on the road. Also, pick one that has buckles that can be easily removed and fastened.

You could also consider an ample, UPF 50+ canopy, which provides sun protection and plenty of coverage for both children. Another comfort feature is adjustable footrests, which let your child stand up in the back seat when they are tired. Some double strollers, such as the top-selling model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.

How many seats you choose in your stroller will depend on the weight and ages of the children who are that are using it. A side-by-side baby stroller allows you to monitor two children at once it is ideal for twins or siblings of the same age. However, it's typically wider than other types and may be difficult to navigate in narrow spaces or in areas with a lot of people.

Sit-and-stand prams allow older siblings to stand while you push a younger child in a car seat for infants. It's not the best option for infants, but it can be suitable once your kiddos are around three years old and are able to walk longer distances.

Another alternative is a convertible stroller which has multiple seating arrangements and can be used as a double or a single for several years. Rebecca says that this kind of stroller is a good option for parents who wish to purchase one stroller, but want to use it with two kids. "It's more expensive than our top tandem choice but it will last 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 strollers we've tested however, it comes with an elegant, modern design and high-quality materials. It is compatible with UPPAbaby car seats and comes with a telescoping bar as well as easy to press brakes. It comes with foam-filled wheels that won't sag and a large storage bin.

Simple to Use

A double stroller can be an expensive purchase. Parents are therefore seeking models that are simple to use. This means a variety of features, from the ability to fold it up compactly to adjusting the height of the handlebar to accommodate different users, must be readily available. 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 the ready.

A stroller can be adjusted to the needs of your family as they grow older, too. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double, for example is a budget-friendly stroller that includes an adjustable system. It allows you to add a seat, transform the stroller into a triple with an additional board, or convert it into a single mode by adding a bench at the rear. This flexibility will let double strollers last as long as you want it to.

In terms of maneuverability, many side-by-side models are difficult to maneuver, however our Lab testers were pleasantly surprised by the ease of operation and maneuverability of the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. This model can be used with all of our top-rated infant car seats and is suitable for twins and children of different age. The telescoping handles as well as the easy-to-use brakes allow it to be more maneuverable than other double strollers we tested.

The UPPAbaby folds up in half and is easy to store and carry. It's also very light, weighing only 18 pounds. It's also simple to open and close using an latch, and requires no tools to put together. It was a top pick from our Lab experts for its longevity and shopability as well as its affordability.

Ease of Storage

Double strollers must be able to hold diaper bags, water bottles and jackets along with keys, wallets and phones of parents. They also need to be able to glide over different surfaces and maneuver in tight spaces. They often need to fit in the trunk of a vehicle, so they should be easy to fold and compact when not when not in use.

Double strollers come in a variety of designs to meet the needs of parents. They can be side-byside or tandem, with fixed or removable seats or equipped with infant car seats and a riding board. They can be designed to accommodate a single infant or toddler or twins. Some are designed for running, while others can be used on trails for hiking or at the beach.

Modular designs can be especially useful for families that have to get bigger for their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle S, for example is designed to allow parents to mix and match seat units, pushchairsandprams cot attachments, and car seats so that the stroller can be used by the entire family from birth to toddlerhood.

Other double strollers that are modular, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 double pushchair with car seat, can be modified to fit one child by the use of a baby seat or bassinet, or a toddler with the option of a jumping seat or a standing board (sold separately). The UPPAbaby's versatility allows it to be set up in 30 different ways, making it suitable for twins, siblings or growing families.

The UPPAbaby is also known for its green initiatives and it is a proponent of sustainability. The UPPAbaby is available in various colors, and its materials are made out of recycled water bottles. Raul, one of our testers used this double stroller during testing with his five-month-old son and three-year-old daughter. He says it was easy to take apart and assemble since the parts came in neatly labeled boxes, which had instructions and a video code included.

Another excellent characteristic of the UPPAbaby its telescoping handlebar as well as brakes that operate with one hand and can be operated with only your thumb. The swiveling front wheel will allow it to make precise turns on sidewalks in cities.

Safety

While double strollers have been criticized for being heavy and difficult to maneuver, the new generation of strollers are sleek and offer many options for customization. You might even find one that is compatible with the car seat of your infant which makes it easier to get out and about with two children in tow.

If you're in the market for a side-by-side or an in-line double stroller, be sure it's JPMA certified to ensure it meets the minimum safety standards and passes regular inspections. You'll need to ensure that the suspension system gives a smooth ride for your children when they are in the front seat. If your stroller comes with an armrest, make sure that it is adjustable to accommodate the different heights.

A canopy can protect your baby from harsh sunlight and inclement weather. The most effective canopies come with the option of a reversible flap, or a transparent plastic windows that peek-a-boo that allows you to watch your children without causing disturbance. Some canopies come with visors to block direct sunlight.

Another important metric to take into consideration is how easily the stroller folds and unfolds. Strollers that are compact when folded are easier to store and take up less space in the trunk of your car. Also, strollers with only one button to release the hand that folds the chassis are much easier to use.

When deciding on a double stroller be aware of the age gap between your children as well as the type of excursion you plan to take with them. For instance, if your children are similar in age and you want to choose an incline-to-low tandem stroller so that they can get to know each other during outings. On the other the other hand, if you have a large age gap it is possible to choose an option that is side-by-side, which gives them more privacy.

If you're planning on using your stroller with baby car seats, search for a model that integrates with the 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 car seat adapters.
