Buying a Double Infant Stroller A double stroller is an ideal option for parents to take multiple children. The best strollers are easy to fold and carry and fit nicely in the trunk of a car and provide a variety of seating arrangements for children of various ages. If your children are similar in age, you might consider a sit-and-stand or side-by-side design is the best method to avoid sibling fights over which seat to choose. We also like options that accept two infant car seats such as the UPPAbaby V2 Double. Comfort It is important that your toddler and baby are both at ease in the stroller. Pick one with padding for the seats, a wide base, and swivelling front wheels to smooth bumps in the road and buckles that are easy to fasten and unfasten. You can also search for a generous, UPF 50+ canopy that provides sun protection as well as plenty of coverage for both children. Footrests that can be adjusted allow your child to stand up in the rear seat if they're exhausted. Some double strollers provide this feature for both children, such as the Safety 1st model that is the most popular. The number of seats in your stroller will depend on the weight and age of the children using it. For example, a side-by-side stroller lets you keep an eye on both children simultaneously which is perfect for twins or siblings close in age. However, it's generally wider than other configurations and can be challenging to maneuver in tight spaces or in crowded areas. Sit-and-stand prams allow older siblings to stand up while you push a younger child in a car seat for infants. It's not the best option for infants however, it could be suitable once your kiddos are around three years old and able to walk for longer distances. A convertible stroller is an additional option. It comes with a variety of seating options and can be used for years as a double or single. Rebecca says this kind of stroller is a great choice for parents who want to purchase one stroller, but plan to use it with two children. It's more expensive than the top tandem choice but it'll last for a long time and has a great resale price, 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 the other strollers we've tried however, it comes with sleek, modern designs and top-quality materials. It is compatible with UPPAbaby car seats, and features a telescoping bar as well as easy to press brakes. It has foam-filled wheels that won't sag and a large storage bin. User-Friendliness A double stroller can be an expensive investment. Parents are therefore looking for models that are simple to use. It should include a variety of features like the capability to fold the stroller compactly and to adjust the handlebar's height to accommodate different types of users. Some models also have more than one storage space to allow families to divide items for quick access, and organizer bags for parents or parent consoles to keep keys, phone and other items easily accessible. A stroller can be adjusted to your family's needs as they grow older, too. For example, a budget-friendly model like the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double includes an adjustable system that allows you to add a second seat, convert it to a triple with a rideboard, or switch to a single-mode with an additional bench in the rear. This allows a double stroller to last for as long as it is needed. In terms of maneuverability, many side-by-side models are difficult to maneuver, but our Lab testers were impressed with the ease of operation and maneuverability of the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. This model can be used with all of our top-rated infant car seats and is suitable for twins and kids of varying ages. The telescoping handlebar as well as the simple-to-use brakes make it much easier to maneuver over the other double strollers that we tried. On the other side, the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double has sleek design and a large storage basket that can fit two toddler car seats or one infant car seat in addition to an ordinary child seat. It can be used by one child from age three. Its foam-filled tires are made to not flatten. Furthermore to that, the UPPAbaby is light at only 18 pounds and folds down in half to make a slim and sleek box that's easy to transport and to store. It's also easy to open and re-close with an latch, and requires no tools for assembly. It was a top pick from our Lab experts for its durability and shopability as well as its affordability. Simple of Storage Double strollers need to be able to carry diaper bags, water bottles, snacks, toys and jackets for kids as well as parents' wallets, keys phones, and other items. They also need to be able to glide across various surfaces and maneuver into tight spaces. They often need to fit in the trunk of a car, therefore they must be easy to fold up and compact when not in use. Double strollers are available in a variety of styles to meet these needs. They can be tandem or side-byside with seats that can be removed or fixed or come with infant car seats and a riding board. They can also be designed to fit a single newborn or toddler or twins. Some are designed for jogging, while others can be used on hiking trails and at the beach. Modular designs are particularly useful for families who want to grow with their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle for instance allows parents to mix and match seats units, cots and car seats to make the stroller suitable for the entire family from newborn to toddlerhood. Other modular double strollers like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double can be adapted to one child with the use of the bassinet or baby seat or a toddler using an elevated board or jump seat (sold separately). The UPPAbaby is a flexible stroller that can be configured 30 different ways. It's great for twins, siblings, or an expanding family. The UPPAbaby is recognized for its green initiatives and its focus is on sustainability. The UPPAbaby comes in many colors, and its fabrics are made from recycled water bottles. Raul one of our testers used the double stroller for testing with his five-month-old son and three-year-old daughter. He said it was simple to disassemble and unpack because the components were neatly labeled boxes, with instructions and a video code. The UPPAbaby also comes with a telescoping handlebar and brakes that are operated by your thumb. The swiveling wheels at the front can aid in making more precise turns on city sidewalks. Safety Double strollers are often criticized for being cumbersome, difficult to maneuver and heavy. However, the most recent models are sleeker and offer a variety of customization options. You can find one that fits an infant car seat, making it easier to travel with two children. If you're looking for a side-by-side or an in-line double stroller, ensure that it's JPMA certified to ensure that it meets minimum safety standards and goes through regular inspections. Also, you should look for an adjustable suspension system that gives smooth riding and doesn't create bumps or jolting for your toddlers in the front seat. If your stroller has a handlebar, ensure it's adjustable to ensure both parents can use it. A canopy can protect your child from the harsh sun and inclement weather. The best canopy features a reversible flap or clear plastic peek-a-boo window to let you monitor your children without causing disturbance. Some canopies have visors to block direct sun. The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is a second important aspect to think about. Compact strollers are much easier to store in your car's trunk and take up less space. Also, strollers with a single hand-release button that folds the chassis are more user-friendly. When choosing double buggy to buy be aware of the age gap between your children and the kind of trip you intend to take them on. For instance, if your kids are close in age it is possible to opt for an incline-to-low tandem stroller so that they can interact when outings are planned. If your children are separated by the age gap You can choose a model that allows them to have more privacy. If you're planning on using your stroller with baby car seats, look for a model that is compatible with the top-rated car seat brands and has high attachment scores. This won't have as significant an impact on the overall rating as other metrics but it is still important if you plan to use car seat adapters.
