Buying a Double Infant Stroller A double stroller gives parents of multiple kids an easy way to move them around. The best models are reasonably easy to fold and carry and can easily fit in the trunk of a car and offer versatile seating arrangements for children of different age groups. Parents with children close in age may find that a side-by-side or sit-and stand style is best to prevent sibling rivalries over who gets to ride in which seat. We also like options which allow two infant car seats, such as the UPPAbaby V2 double. Comfort A comfortable stroller is key for both your toddler and baby. Select one with padded seats, a wide base and swiveling front wheels to smooth out bumps in the road and buckles that are simple to unfasten and fasten. Find a large UPF 50+ canopy that provides sun protection for both children. Another feature that is comfortable is the adjustable footrests that let your child sit up in the back of the seat when they get tired. 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 the stroller will be contingent on the weight and age of the children using it. For instance, a side by side stroller lets you keep an eye on two children at the same time which is perfect for twins or siblings who are close in age. However, it's typically wider than other configurations and can be challenging to navigate in narrow spaces or crowded areas. On the other hand, a stand-and-sit stroller allows older siblings to stand while you push the younger one in a car seat for infants. It's not the best option for infants, but it can be suitable when your children are about three years old and are able to walk for longer distances. A convertible stroller is another alternative. It comes with a variety of seating options and can be used as a double or single. Rebecca says that this kind of stroller is a great option for parents who only want to buy one stroller but want to use it with two kids. “It's more expensive than our top tandem choice however, it will last a long time, offers a high return value, and is extremely 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 the other options we tested however it does have a sleek, modern design and top-quality materials. It's compatible with UPPAbaby infant car seats, and has an adjustable handlebar that can be telescopically adjusted and brakes that are easy to press. It comes with wheels that are filled with foam that won't flatten and a huge storage bin. Easy of Use A double stroller can be an expensive investment. Parents are looking for models that are simple to use. This means a variety of features, from the ability to fold it up compactly to the ability to adjust the height of the handlebar for different users, should be available. Some models have more than one storage space that allow families to divide items for quick access, and organizer bags for parents or parent consoles to keep keys, phone, and other essentials within reach. A stroller should be able to adapt to the changing needs of your family as time goes by. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double, for instance is an affordable stroller that comes with a modular system. It lets you add a second seat, transform the stroller into a triple by adding a board, or switch it to a single mode by adding a rear bench. This allows double strollers to last for as long as you need it. When double pushchair comes to maneuverability, some side-by-side models struggle to turn at a whim however many of our Lab testers appreciated the ease-of-use and maneuverability of the inline 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 various ages. The telescoping handlebar and easy-to-use brakes make it more maneuverable than many of the other double strollers we've tested. On the other side, the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double has an elegant design and a large storage basket that can fit two car seats for toddlers or one infant car seat in addition to a regular child seat. It can also be used by any single child until three years old and is a smooth ride due to its foam-filled tires that are made to not go flat. The UPPAbaby folds in half, making it easy to store and carry. It's also very light, weighing only 18 pounds. It is also easy to close and open using a latch, and requires no tools to put together. It was a top choice by our Lab experts for its longevity and shopability as well as its affordability. Ease of Storage Double strollers need to be able to hold diaper bags, water bottles and jackets along with the wallets, keys and phones of parents. They should also be able slide across different surfaces and maneuver through tight spots. When not in use, they usually have to be tucked into the trunk of a vehicle. To meet these requirements, double strollers can be built in a wide range of styles. They can be tandem or side-by-side and can also 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 accommodate a single newborn or toddler, or twins. Some are suitable for running, while others can be used on trails for hiking and at the beach. Modular designs are especially beneficial for families who need to grow into their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle S for instance is designed to allow parents to mix and match their seat units, cot attachments and car seats so that the stroller is able to serve the family from birth through toddlerhood. Other modular double strollers, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double, can be made to accommodate one child with the use of bassinets or a baby seat or a toddler's the option of a jumping seat or a standing board (sold separately). The UPPAbaby is an adaptable stroller that can be set up in a variety of ways. It's ideal for twins, siblings or an expanding family. The UPPAbaby is also known for its green initiatives and it prioritizes sustainability. The UPPAbaby comes in many colors, and the fabrics are made from recycled water bottles. In our testing, our test participant Raul utilized the double stroller with his three-year old daughter and five-month-old son. He said it was easy to unpack the parts and assemble them because they came in neatly-labeled boxes with video instructions and instructions. Another great feature of the UPPAbaby is its telescoping handlebar, as well as brakes that are one-handed and can be operated using only your thumb. Its swiveling front wheels allow it to make tight turns on sidewalks in cities. Safety Double strollers are often criticized for being cumbersome and difficult to maneuver. They are also heavy. However, the latest models are sleeker and offer a variety of customization options. You might even find one that fits your infant car seat making it more convenient to go out and about with two children in tow. If you're shopping for a double stroller that can be used side-byside or in line, ensure that it's JPMA certified to ensure it is safe to use. It also has to pass regular inspections. You'll need to ensure that the suspension system offers an easy ride for your children who are in the front seat. If your stroller has a handlebar make sure it's adjustable so that both parents can use it. A canopy can protect your baby from harsh sunlight and harsh weather. The best canopies have the option of a reversible flap, or a clear plastic peek-a-boo window that allows you to watch your children without causing any disturbance to them. Some canopies also come with visors to block direct sun. The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is an important aspect to think about. Strollers that are compact when folded are more convenient to store and take less space in the trunk of your car. Also, strollers with a single hand-release button that folds the chassis more user-friendly. When deciding on a double stroller be aware of the age gap between your children and the kind of trip you're planning to take with them. If your children are close in age, you could opt for a tandem high/low stroller to allow them to be together when outings. On the other hand, if your children have a large age gap, you might choose an option that is side-by-side, which gives them more privacy. If you intend to use your stroller for baby car seats, you should choose a model with a high attachment score and is compatible with top-rated brands. It won't have as much impact on your overall rating as the other factors, but it's an important consideration if you're planning on using car seat adapters.
