Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller gives parents of multiple kids an easy way to move their children around. The best models are easy to fold, carry and store in a car trunk. They also offer various seating arrangements for children of different ages.

If your children are similar in age, you may find that a sit-and-stand or side-byside style is the best method to avoid sibling fights over which seat to use. We also like the options that allow two infant car seats like the UPPAbaby v2 double.

Comfort

A comfortable stroller is key for both your baby and toddler. Pick a stroller that has cushioned seats and swiveling wheels at the front to smooth bumps on the road. Also, pick one that has buckles that are easily removed and fastened.

You can also search for a generous UPF 50+ canopy that offers sun protection and plenty of coverage for both children. Footrests that can be adjusted allow your child to stand in the rear seat when they are exhausted. Some double strollers, like the most popular model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.

The number of seats you can put in your stroller will depend on the weights and ages of the children that are using it. A side-byside baby stroller allows you to monitor two children at once, making it ideal for twins or siblings of a similar age. It's more spacious than other types of strollers and isn't easy to maneuver in crowded or narrow areas.

On the other hand, a sit-and-stand stroller gives older siblings a chance to stand while you push the baby in a car seat for infants. It's not the ideal choice for infants, but it can be useful for older children that can walk longer distances.

A convertible stroller is an additional option. It has multiple seating options and can be used for years as a double or single. Rebecca says this type of stroller is an excellent option for parents who only want to purchase one stroller, but are planning to use it with two kids. "It's more expensive than our top tandem choice but it will last for 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 other options however it has an elegant design and top-quality material.

This flexibility lets a double stroller to last for as long as you need it.

Easy of Storage

Double strollers must be able to hold diaper bags, water bottles and jackets along with the keys, wallets and phones of parents. They should also be able to move over different surfaces and maneuver through tight spots. When not in use they often have to fit into the trunk of a vehicle.

To meet these needs Double strollers can be constructed in a variety of designs. They can be tandem or side-by-side, and they can have seats that can be removed or fixed or come with infant car seats as well as a riding board. They can also be designed to fit a single toddler or newborn or twins. Some are made for running while others are utilized at the beach or on hiking trails.

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

Other double pushchairs strollers with modular designs like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double can be modified to accommodate one child using the bassinet or baby seat, or a toddler by using a standing board or jump seat (sold separately).

Safety

Double strollers are a bit of a bad reputation as cumbersome and difficult to maneuver, the new generation of models are sleek and come with a range of 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 kids in the stroller.

If you're in the market for a double stroller that can be used side-byside 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 should also consider a suspension system that provides smooth riding and doesn't cause bumps or jolting for your toddlers in the front seat. If your stroller is equipped with a handlebar, make sure that it is adjustable to accommodate parents and dads of various heights.

A canopy can shield your child from harsh sunlight and inclement weather. The best canopies have the option of a reversible flap, or a transparent plastic peek-a-boo windows to let you monitor your children without causing disturbance. Some canopies come with visors to block direct sunlight.

Another important factor to consider is how easily the stroller folds and unfolds. Compact strollers are simpler to put in the trunk of your car and take up less space. Also, strollers with a single hand-release button that folds the chassis are more user-friendly.

When deciding which double stroller take into consideration the age gap between your children and the kind of trip you're planning to take the strollers on. For instance, if your kids are close in age and you want to choose an incline-ready to Grow Double stroller-low tandem stroller so that they can interact during outings. On the other hand, if your children have a significant age gap, you might choose a side-by-side model that gives them more privacy.

If you're going to be using your stroller with baby car seats, look for a model that integrates with the top-rated car seat brands and has a high attachment score. This won't have as big an impact on the overall rating as other metrics but is still important if you plan to use adapters for car seats.
