Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller provides parents of multiple kids a comfortable way to get them around. The best models are reasonably lightweight and easy to fold and carry and fit nicely inside a trunk of a car, and have a variety of seating options for children of various ages.

If your children are close in age, you could consider a sit-and-stand or side-by-side style is the best method to avoid fights between siblings over which seat to use. We also recommend options that accept two infant car seat, such as the UPPAbaby V2 double.

Comfort

It is essential that your baby and toddler are at ease in the stroller. Choose a stroller with comfortable seats and swiveling tires on the front to smooth bumps on the road. Also, choose one that has buckles that are easily fastened and unfastened.

You can also look for an ample UPF 50+ canopy that offers sun protection and plenty of coverage for both children. Another comfort feature is adjustable footrests that let your child stand up in the back of the seat when they get tired. Some double buggy strollers provide this option for both children, like the Safety 1st model that is the most popular.

The number of seats you can have 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 once, making it ideal for twins or siblings of the same age. However, it's generally larger than other configurations and can be difficult to navigate in narrow spaces or in areas with a lot of people.

On the other hand, a sit-and-stand stroller gives older siblings the chance to stand while you push the younger one in an infant car seat. It's not a good choice for babies however, it could be an ideal choice when your children are about three years old and can 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 type of stroller is an ideal choice for parents who plan to purchase one stroller and use it with both children. "It's more expensive than our top tandem choice, but it will last a long time, has 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 other options however it has a sleek design and high-quality material. It's compatible with UPPAbaby car seats, and features a telescoping bar and easy-to press brakes. It also comes with foam-filled tires that won't go flat and a large storage basket.

Easy of Use

A double stroller is 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 compactly to adjusting the handlebar height for different users, should be available. Some models also have more than one storage space to allow families to split things up for easy access, as well as organizer bags or consoles for parents to keep phone, keys and other items in reach.

A stroller can be adjusted to your family's needs throughout the years as well. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double, for example, is an affordable stroller that comes with a modular system. It allows you to add another seat, convert the stroller into a triple with the addition of a board, or change it into a single mode by adding a rear bench. This flexibility can help double strollers last the time you need it to.

In terms of maneuverability, a lot of side-by-side models are difficult to maneuver. However, our Lab testers were impressed by the ease of using and maneuverability of Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. This model is compatible with all of our top-rated car seats for infants and can be used by twins or children of different ages. The telescoping handles and simple-to-use brakes make it more flexible than other double strollers we evaluated.

On the other side, the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double comes with sleek design and a large storage basket that can accommodate two car seats for toddlers or one infant car seat plus a regular child seat.

The UPPAbaby folds down in half and is easy to store and carry. It's also super lightweight, weighing only 18 pounds. It's also easy to open and close using an latch, and requires no tools for assembly. It was a top pick by our Lab experts for its longevity and shopability as well as its affordability.

Ease of Storage

Double strollers should be able hold diaper bags as well as water bottles and jackets and the wallets, keys and phones of parents. 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 car.

Double strollers are available in many different designs to meet the needs of parents. They can be tandem or side-by-side, and they can have seats that can be removed or fixed or even be outfitted with infant car seats as well as a riding board. They can be designed to accommodate a single newborn or toddler or twins. Some are designed for running, while others can be used at the beach or on trails for hiking.

Modular designs are especially beneficial for families who need to grow into their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle, for example allows parents to mix and blend seats, cots, and car seats to make the stroller serve all the family members from infant to toddlerhood.

Other double strollers that are modular, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double can be modified to accommodate a single child by using baby seats or a bassinet or for a toddler using an elevated board or jump seat (sold separately). The UPPAbaby is a versatile stroller that can be configured in a variety of ways, making it ideal for twins and siblings, or for an expanding family.

The UPPAbaby is also known for its green initiatives, and its focus is on sustainability. The UPPAbaby comes in many colors and the fabrics are made from recycled water bottles. Raul one of our testers utilized this double stroller while testing with his five-month-old son and three-year-old daughter. He said it was easy to take the parts out and assemble them since they came in neatly-labeled boxes with video and instructions.

The UPPAbaby also has a telescoping handlebar, and brakes that operate with your thumb. Its swiveling front wheels allow it to make tight turns on city sidewalks.

Safety

Double strollers have a bad reputation as cumbersome and difficult to maneuver, the latest generation of strollers are sleek and provide a variety of customization options. You will find one that can fit an infant car seat, making it easier to travel with two children.

If you're in the market for a double stroller that can be used side-by-side or in line, be sure that it's JPMA certified to ensure it conforms to safety standards. It also has to pass regular inspections. You'll want to ensure that the suspension system gives a smooth ride for your children in the front seat. If your stroller comes with a handlebar, be sure that it is adjustable to accommodate parents and dads of various heights.

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

The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is another important factor to consider. Compact strollers are easier to store in the trunk of your car and take up less space. Also, strollers that have a single hand-release button that folds the chassis more user-friendly.

When choosing a double stroller to buy take into consideration the age gap between your children as well as the type of excursion you plan to take the strollers on. If your children are similar in age you may choose a tandem high/low stroller in order to allow them to interact on outings. If your children are separated due to an age gap that is large you can select one that gives them more privacy.

If you intend to use your stroller for baby car seats, choose a model with a high attachment score and that is compatible with top-rated brands. This will not have as significant an impact on the overall rating as other metrics however it is important if you plan to use adapters for car seats.
