Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller is a great way for parents to transport multiple children. The best models are easy to fold, carry and store into a trunk of a car. They also have flexible seating arrangements for kids of varying ages.

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

Comfort

It is essential that your toddler and baby are comfortable in the stroller. Select a stroller with comfortable seats and swiveling tires at the front to smooth road bumps. Also, select one with buckles that are easily removed and fastened.

You can also look for an ample UPF 50+ canopy, which provides sun protection as well as plenty of coverage for both children. Another comfort feature is adjustable footrests, which let your child sit up in the back of the seat when they get 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 be determined by the weight and age of the children who will be using it. A side-by-side baby stroller allows you to monitor two children at a time, making it ideal for twins or siblings of a similar age. It's larger than other models, and can be difficult to maneuver in tight or narrow areas.

Sit-and-stand strollers allow older siblings to stand while you push a younger child in a car seat for infants. It's not the ideal choice for newborns but can be useful for older children that can walk longer distances.

Another option is a convertible stroller, which offers multiple seating arrangements and can be used as a double or a single for several years. 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 pick but it will last a long time, has great return value, and is extremely versatile," she says.

A stroller must be able adapt to the changing needs of your family as time goes by. For instance, a budget-friendly option such as the Evenflo Pivot Xpand double car seat stroller includes a modular system that allows you to add a seat, transform it to a triple with the rideboard, or change to a single mode by using an additional bench in the rear. This allows double strollers to last as long as is required.

Ease of Storage

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

Double strollers are available in a variety of styles to meet your needs. They can be side-by-side or tandem, with fixed or removable seats, or with an infant car seat and a ridingboard. They can be made to fit a single infant or toddler or twins. Some are designed for jogging, while others can be used for hiking trails and at the beach.

Modular designs are especially useful for families that need to expand their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle, for example allows parents to mix and blend seats, cots, and car seats to make the stroller fit the entire family from newborn to toddlerhood.

Other double infant strollers strollers with modular designs, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double, can be modified to fit a single child through the use of bassinet or baby seat, or a toddler with the option of a jumping seat or a standing board (sold separately). The UPPAbaby is a versatile stroller that can be configured 30 different ways. It's ideal for twins, siblings, or an expanding family.

The UPPAbaby also prioritizes sustainability and green initiatives. The UPPAbaby is available in many colors, and its materials are made from recycled water bottles.

Another great characteristic of the UPPAbaby its telescoping handlebar and brakes that operate with one hand and can be operated with only your thumb. The swiveling wheels at the front can assist in making more precise turns on city sidewalks.

Safety

While double strollers have received a bad rap for being bulky and difficult to maneuver, the latest generation of models are sleek and offer many customization options. You can find one that fits an infant car seat to make it easier to travel with two children.

If you're in the market for a side-by-side or in-line double stroller, be sure it's JPMA certified to ensure it meets the minimum safety standards and passes regular inspections. You'll want to ensure that the suspension system offers an easy ride for your children when they are in the front seat. If your stroller has an adjustable handlebar, make sure it's adjustable so that both parents can use it.

A canopy can protect your child from harsh sunlight and inclement weather. The best canopy features a reversible flap or transparent plastic windows that peek-a-boo to allow you to monitor your children without causing any disturbance to them. Certain canopies come with visors that block the direct sun.

The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is an important factor to consider. Strollers that fold compactly when folded are easier to store and take less space in the trunk of your car. Strollers that come with a single button to fold the chassis are more user-friendly.

When you are shopping for a double stroller, keep in mind how far your children are in age and what kind of outings you're planning to take them on. If your children are similar in age, you can opt for a tandem high/low stroller to allow them to interact when outings. On the other the other hand, if you have a significant age gap it is possible to choose a side-by-side model that gives them more privacy.

If you're going to be using your stroller with baby car seats, search for a model that works with top-rated car seat brands and has high attachment scores. This will not have as much of an impact on the overall rating as other metrics but is still crucial if you intend to utilize car seat adapters.
