Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller gives parents with multiple children an easy way to move them around. The best models are easy to fold, carry and fit into the trunk of a car. They also offer flexible seating arrangements for kids of different ages.

The number of seats you can have in the stroller will be contingent on the weight and age of the children using it.

Sit-and-stand strollers allow older siblings to stand while you push a younger child in an infant car-seat. It's not the best option for infants but it's suitable when your kids are around three years old and are able to walk for longer distances.
