Buying Guide For Double Strollers

A double stroller is a great investment for families with two children of similar age. These narrow tandem buggies or flexible side by side buggies let you keep both children within sight while navigating the grocery aisle and parks, as well as whatever else life throws at you.

Comfort

When you are looking for a double stroller for your child, comfort is a key aspect to take into consideration. This includes both the seating arrangement and the overall size of the stroller, which can impact the convenience and storage. Katie Billingsley, a child expert in child development from Fourth Trimester Postnatal Retreat, suggests parents check the stroller's weight and folded dimensions. "They should also consider the seat recline options and age ranges to ensure a perfect fit for their family."

A good double stroller will be durable enough to travel on all surfaces without difficulty, from suburban sidewalks to park trails, and from infant car seats to toddler booster seats. It should have a variety of seating options for children of different age groups, and features that provide comfort, such as a peek-aboo windows and adjustable canopy options that protect children from the sun or rain.

For many families double strollers will be used from birth until childhood, so it's important to think about seating options. Billingsley states that there are two primary categories that are in-line with one seat in front of the other, and side-by-side with seats adjacent to each other. Some parents prefer the inline option because of its sleek appearance and its versatility. Others like a wagon style double stroller for maximum space for grocery or bulky items.

Although some models may have different recline options, with one seat almost flat while the other is upright--this type of disparity is more common in in-line models. Billingsley suggests choosing a model that has a nearly flat recline and leg rest adjustments for both seats. This will ensure that both children lie down comfortably.

She also suggests parents look for strollers with storage compartments so that they can easily access personal items, snacks and toys moving about. She also says that it is beneficial to find a stroller that comes with a parent console or organizer bag attached on the handlebars. This can help parents keep their essentials at hand.

Some of the most highly-rated double strollers can be expanded, allowing parents to customize the layout to meet the needs of their expanding family. For example, the Mockingbird Expandable is a highly rated double stroller that can be used with just a single seat as early as birth, and then converted to tandem (with the addition of a second seat and bassinet) as the child grows older.

Safety

Double strollers need to be able to support the weight of both the passengers as well as any additional cargo. Strollers must also be easy to move and push, particularly in tight areas and over challenging terrain. The best strollers have ergonomic handlebars and adjustable heights which make it easier for parents to maintain good form when pushing them. A harness that does not need to be rethread, which makes adjusting seat belts more quickly and easily is another great feature to look out for. Safety features include a sturdy brake system and wheels which slide over any surface.

Some parents opt for a side by side design to allow both children to be together during family outings. This arrangement can prevent sibling squabbles over who sits in which seat however, it's not 100% secure. If the seats are located at different heights, a child may kick or punch one another during a walk, if the seats are at different levels.

For parents of twins or siblings close in age, a tandem stroller is a great option for being able see both children at the same time. Double strollers are typically more spacious, and may not fit through certain interior doors. Think about a stroller that is single-to-double that can be converted from a single to double in various ways. The most popular models are the CYBEX gazelle S.

If you are looking for a tandem or a side-by-side stroller, ensure that the stroller has been JPMA certified to meet strict safety standards. Be aware of the weight limit that applies to each seat. Overstepping these limits can cause frame fatigue and other issues.

It's easy to get caught up in the bells and whistles, however it's important to remember that strollers are basically baby carriers that are used for a long period of durations. It should be easy to clean and maintain as well as comfortable for both passengers. It should also have an intuitive, familiar design that allows the person pushing it to easily maneuver it.

Ease of Use

For families on the go, a double stroller should be able to navigate different terrains. Strollers with 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 other factors that make them easier to use. For example the stroller should be compact enough to fit into the trunk of your car, yet provide ample storage space for food items and other things. It is also essential to include thoughtful features, like a cup holder for one parent or consoles for parents, as well as snacks on trays. These will make traveling with two children much more enjoyable.

During our testing, we evaluated each stroller based on how it performed on a variety of terrains and how easily it maneuvered in tight spaces. We also examined how easy it was to fold and unfold and whether or not a particular feature added to the overall performance of the stroller. For example a stroller that has no-rethread harnesses makes adjusting the seat belts easy and quick. This can be a big selling point for parents who are constantly in motion, as it eliminates the requirement to rethread the harness.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double Pram stroller scored high in this measure, since it came with a variety of seating configurations as well as additional accessories to accommodate families that are growing. The wagon-style double twin stroller with car seats can be expanded to accommodate a second seat as well as a bassinet or a toddler-friendly riding board, which is ideal for active families planning long trips with multiple kids of varying age groups. It glides easily over pavements, cobblestones, and ballfields. It can also be folded flat to fit in a trunk or a closet. The design of this stroller is simple and easy to use which was well-loved by our test participant Kerry. The sleek packaging clear sections, well-marked sections and user guide made it easy to put this stroller together.

Stores

A double stroller is able to hold twice as much stuff as a single stroller so look for ample storage space. It is ideal to have an item that can hold the basic necessities for both kids: nappies bottles, snacks, and toys, as well as parents' belongings like phones, wallets keys and wallets. Look for under-seat baskets and other pockets, and look into a stroller with an expandable cargo area that can hold heavy items such as lunch bags and diaper bags.

A quality double stroller will be able to expand with your family. Billingsley states that certain models come with the option of a bassinet attachment that can accommodate infants. Others have child seats which can expand with the child until they are ready to ride on the back. Some double strollers allow for a rider board to let older siblings take part in the fun.

There are many different double strollers on the market. You can choose from models with high-performance features which are suitable for rough terrain, as well as more budget-friendly options that you can use daily. When shopping, take a look at reviews and opinions of families just like yours to get a better idea of what you can expect from the double stroller you pick.

Double strollers are available in three different styles: side-by-side, tandem, and wagon-style. Billingsley states that side-by-side strollers are the most flexible and ideal for twins as well as children of a similar age. Tandem double strollers have two seats that are set in a tandem arrangement, facing opposite directions. This is a good option for children who are the same age, or siblings who prefer to interact with each other. Tandem strollers can be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces and are less likely to fit through doorways than their side-byside counterparts.

The testers loved that this budget model has multiple seating options as well as the ability to snap in two infant car seats or a single child riding in the convertible toddler seat. Our testers also loved the comfortable memory foam seats with a 50+ SPF canopy and foam-filled tires that will never get flat.
