Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller is a great method for parents to carry multiple children. The best strollers are lightweight double stroller and easy to fold and carry and can easily fit in a car trunk and offer versatile seating arrangements for children of different ages.

If your children are similar in age, you might find that a sit-and-stand or side-by-side design is the best way to avoid fighting between siblings over the best seat to use. We also like options which accept two infant car seats like the UPPAbaby V2 double.

Comfort

A stroller that is comfortable and safe for both your baby and toddler. Choose one that has padded seats, a wide base and swiveling front wheels to smooth bumps on the road, and buckles that are easy to unfasten and fasten.

Look for a large, UPF 50+ canopy to offer sun protection for both children and their parents. Another comfort feature is adjustable footrests that allow your child to stand in the back of the seat when they get tired. Some double strollers, like the best-selling model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.

How many seats you choose in your stroller will depend on the weights and ages of the kids who are riding in it. For instance, a side-by-side stroller lets you keep an eye on both children at the same time which is perfect for twins or siblings that are close in age. It's larger than other models, and can be difficult to maneuver in crowded or narrow spaces.

Sit-and-stand strollers allow older siblings to stand up while you push a smaller child in an infant car-seat. It's not a good choice for babies, but it can be a good fit when your kids are around three years old and can walk longer distances.

A convertible stroller is another alternative. It offers multiple seating options and can be used as a single or double. Rebecca says that this kind of stroller is a great option for parents who only want to purchase a single stroller but are planning to use it with two children. "It's more expensive than our top tandem choice but it will last for 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 is not as compact as other models, but it features an elegant design and premium material. It's compatible with UPPAbaby car seats, and features an adjustable bar that can be telescoping and press brakes. It also has foam-filled tires that won't go flat and a large storage basket.

Easy of Use

A double stroller isn't a cheap investment, so parents are often looking for one that is simple to use. It should include a variety of features, including the capability to fold the stroller compactly and adjust the handlebar height to accommodate different types of users. Certain models have multiple storage compartments that enable families to keep their belongings separate to make them easy to access. They also include parent consoles and organizer bags that keep phones, keys and other necessities on the ready.

A stroller should be able to adapt to your family's needs over the years, too. For instance, a cost-effective model like the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double includes a modular system that lets you add another seat, convert it into a triple using a rideboard, or switch to a single mode with an additional bench in the rear. This allows a double push chair stroller to last as long as it is needed.

This model is compatible with our top-rated car seats for infants and can be used by twins or children of various ages.

Ease of Storage

Double strollers must be able to carry diaper bags and water bottles, snacks, toys and jackets for the kids and parents keys, wallets, phones and other belongings. They also need to be able to glide over different surfaces and maneuver in tight spaces. They are often required to fit in the trunk of a car, therefore they should be easy to fold and compact when not in use.

To meet the needs of parents Double strollers can be built in a wide range of styles. They can be tandem or side-by-side with removable or fixed seats or a baby car seats and a rideboard. They can be made to fit a single infant or toddler or twins. Some are designed for running, while others can be used on trails for hiking and at the beach.

Safety

While double strollers have been criticized for being heavy and difficult to maneuver, the new generation of models are sleek and come with a range of customization options. You can find one that is compatible with an infant car seat to make it easier to travel with two children.

You'll want to ensure that the suspension system provides a smooth ride for your children when they are in the front seat. If your stroller comes with a handlebar make sure it's adjustable to ensure both parents can use it.

The best canopies have 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.

The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is a second important aspect to think about. Strollers that fold compactly when folded are more convenient to store and take up less space in the trunk of your car. Strollers with a single button to fold the chassis are also simpler to use.

When shopping for a double stroller, keep in mind how far apart your children are in age and what kind of excursions you are planning to take them on. If your children are close in age, you could opt for a tandem stroller that is high/low to allow them to interact on outings. On the other the other hand, if you have a large age gap, you might choose an option that is side-by-side, which gives them more privacy.

If you plan to use your stroller for baby car seats, select a model with a high attachment score and that is compatible with top-rated brands. This won't have as much of an impact on the overall rating as other indicators however it is crucial if you intend to use car seat adapters.
