Buying a Double Infant Stroller A double stroller offers parents of multiple kids an easy way to move their children around. The most effective models are easy to fold, carry and store into a trunk of a car. They also offer various seating arrangements for children of various ages. If your children are similar in age, you could find that a sit-and-stand or side-by-side style is the best method to avoid fights between siblings over which seat to use. We also recommend options that can accommodate two infant car seats such as the UPPAbaby v2 Double. Comfort It is crucial that your baby and toddler are both comfortable in the stroller. Select one with cushioned seats, a large base, and swivelling front wheels to smooth out bumps in the road, and buckles that are easy to secure and remove. Look for a large UPF 50+ canopy that provides sun protection for both children and adults. Footrests that can be adjusted allow your child to stand in the back seat when they're exhausted. Some double strollers, such as the top-selling model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children. The number of seats you can have in your stroller will be determined by the weight and age of the children using it. For instance, a side-by-side stroller allows you to keep an eye on two children at the same time and is ideal for twins or siblings who are close in age. However, it's generally wider than other models and can be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces or crowded areas. A sit-and-stand pram allows older siblings to stand up while you push a younger child in an infant car-seat. It's not the best choice for infants, but it can be useful for older children who can walk for longer distances. A convertible stroller is another alternative. It comes with a variety of seating configurations and can be used as a single or double. Rebecca says this kind of stroller would be an ideal choice for parents who intend to purchase one stroller and use it with both children. It's more expensive than the top tandem pick but it will last for an extended period of time and comes with an excellent resale value, 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 of the other options we tested however, it comes with an elegant, modern design and top-quality materials. It is compatible with UPPAbaby car seats, and features a telescoping bar and easy-to press brakes. It comes with wheels that are filled with foam that won't break and a large storage bin. Easy of Use A double stroller is an expensive investment. Parents are therefore seeking models that are simple to use. That means a wide range of features, ranging from the ability to fold it compactly to the ability to adjust the height of the handlebar for different users, should be readily available. Some models come with more than one storage space that allow families to divide items for quick access, as well as organizer bags or consoles for parents to keep phones, keys, and other essentials easily accessible. A stroller can be adjusted to the needs of your family as they grow older, too. For example, a budget-friendly model like the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double includes a modular system that lets you add another seat, convert it into a triple by using an incline board, or change to a single mode with an additional bench in the rear. This flexibility lets double strollers to last for as long as you need it. In terms of maneuverability, a lot of side-by-side models are difficult to maneuver, but our Lab testers were impressed with the ease of using and maneuverability of Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. This model accepts all of our top-rated infant car seats and is suitable for twins and children of various age. Its telescoping handles and easy-to-use brakes allow it to be more flexible than other double strollers that we tested. On the other hand the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double has an elegant design and a huge storage basket that can accommodate two toddler car seats or one infant car seat in addition to an ordinary child's seat. It can be used by a single child from age three. The tires are filled with foam and made to not flatten. Furthermore to that, the UPPAbaby is light at just 18 pounds and folds in half to create a sleek and compact package that is easy to carry and to store. It's also simple to open and close with an latch, and requires no tools to put together. Our Lab experts picked it as the best choice for its value, affordability and shopability, as well as its longevity. Ease of Storage Double strollers should be able hold diaper bags, water bottles and jackets along with the wallets, keys and phones of parents. They must also be able to slide across different surfaces and maneuver in tight spaces. When not in use, they are often required to fit into the trunk of a car. Double strollers are available in many different designs to meet the needs of parents. They can be tandem or side-by-side and can also have seats that can be removed or fixed, or be equipped with infant car seats and a riding board. They can also be designed to accommodate a single newborn or toddler or twins. Some are suited for running, while others can be used on hiking trails or at the beach. Modular designs are especially beneficial for families who want to expand their strollers. twin pushchair for instance allows parents to mix and match seats units, cots and car seats to make the stroller fit all the family members from infant to toddlerhood. Other double strollers that are modular, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double can be adapted to one child with the use of baby seats or a bassinet or for a toddler using an elevated board or jump seat (sold separately). The versatile UPPAbaby can be configured in a variety of ways, making it ideal for twins, siblings or a growing family. The UPPAbaby is also committed to green and sustainability initiatives. The UPPAbaby comes in various colors, and its materials are made from recycled water bottles. Our test subject Raul used this double stroller with his three year old daughter and five-month-old son. He found it easy to unpack the parts and assemble them because they were packaged neatly with video instructions and instructions. Another great feature of the UPPAbaby is its telescoping handlebar and brakes that operate with one hand and can be operated using only your thumb. The swiveling front wheel can help it make tight turns on sidewalks in cities. Safety Double strollers are a bit of a bad reputation as cumbersome and difficult to maneuver, the new generation of strollers are sleek and come with a range of customization options. You may 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 with you. If you're in the market for a side-by-side or in-line double stroller, be sure it's JPMA certified to ensure it complies with the minimum safety standards and passes regular inspections. You should also consider an adjustable suspension system that gives an easy ride and doesn't cause bumps, or jolting for your little ones in the front seat. If your stroller comes with an armrest, make sure that it is adjustable to accommodate Moms and Dads of different heights. A canopy is an additional feature that protects your children from harsh sunlight or inclement weather. The best canopy features the option of a reversible flap, or a clear plastic peek-a-boo window to allow you to monitor your children without causing any disturbance to them. Certain canopies come with visors that block direct sunlight. The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is another important aspect to take into consideration. Strollers that fold compactly when folded are more convenient to store and take less space in the trunk of your car. Strollers that come with only one button to fold the chassis are more user-friendly. When choosing a double stroller, bear in mind how far apart your children are and what kind of outings you plan on taking them on. For instance, if you're children are similar in age and you want to consider a tandem high-low stroller to ensure that they can be together on outings. If your children are separated by the age gap, you may choose one that gives them more privacy. If you're going to be using your stroller with baby car seats, look for a model that is compatible with top-rated car seat brands and has a high attachment score. This won't have as significant an impact on the overall rating as other factors but is still crucial if you intend to use car seat adapters.
