Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller is a great method for parents to carry multiple children. The best double stroller models are reasonably lightweight and easy to fold and carry, fit well in a car trunk and provide a variety of seating arrangements for children of varying age groups.

Parents with children close in age may find that a side by side or sit-and-stand style works best to prevent sibling rivalries over who gets to ride in which car seat. We also like the options that accept two infant car seat, such as the UPPAbaby v2 double.

Comfort

A stroller that is comfortable and safe for your toddler and baby. Pick one with padded seats, a wide base, and swivelling front wheels to smooth bumps in the road and buckles that are easy to fasten and unfasten.

Look for a large UPF 50+ canopy to offer sun protection for both children. Adjustable footrests let your child to stand up in the rear seat when they're exhausted. Some double strollers, like the most popular model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.

How many seats you choose in your stroller is contingent on the ages and weights of the kids riding in it. For instance, a side-by-side stroller allows you to keep an eye on two children at the same time, so it's perfect for twins or siblings who are close in age. It's more spacious than other types of strollers, and can be difficult to maneuver in tight or narrow spaces.

On the other hand, a sit-and stand stroller gives older siblings a chance to stand while you push your younger child in an infant car seat. It's not a good choice for babies but it's a good fit when your children are about three years old and are able to walk longer distances.

A convertible stroller is a different alternative. It has multiple seating options and can be used for years as a double or single. Rebecca says that this kind of stroller is a good option for parents who wish to buy one stroller but want to use it with two children. "It's more expensive than our top tandem selection, but 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 strollers we've tried, but it has sleek, modern designs and top-quality materials. It's compatible with UPPAbaby car seats and comes with a telescoping bar as well as easy to press brakes. It also has foam-filled tires that won't go flat and a large storage basket.

User-Friendliness

A double stroller is not an investment that is cheap, and parents often seek one that is simple to use. This means a variety of features, ranging from the ability to fold it up compactly to adjusting the handlebar height to accommodate different users, must be readily available. Certain models have multiple storage compartments to allow families to organize their belongings to make it easier to access. They also come with parent consoles and organizer bags that keep keys, phones, and other essentials at fingertips.

A stroller can be adjusted to the changing needs of your family over the years as well. For example, a budget-friendly option such as the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double includes a modular system that allows you to add another seat, convert it into a triple by using the rideboard, or change to a single mode by using the rear bench. This flexibility will let a double stroller work for as long as you want it to.

In terms of maneuverability, some models aren't able to turn at a whim however, many of our Lab testers loved the simplicity and maneuverability of the inline Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. This model is compatible with all of our top-rated infant car seats and is suitable for twins and kids of varying age. The telescoping handlebar as well as the simple-to-use brakes make it easier to maneuver than other double pushchairs with Quick fold technology strollers that we tested.

The UPPAbaby vist v2 double, however, is sleek and stylish. It also comes with a large basket that can accommodate two toddler car seats or an infant car seat with a standard child's seat.

It's also simple to open and close with a latch and requires no tools to put together. It was a top choice from our Lab experts due to its durability, shopability, and affordability.

Easy of Storage

Double strollers should be able hold diaper bags as well as water bottles and jackets along with the keys, wallets and phones of parents. They should also be able to slide over different surfaces and maneuver in tight spaces. They often need to fit in the trunk of a car, therefore they should be easy to fold up and compact when not in use.

Double strollers come in many different styles to meet your needs. They can be tandem or side-by-side, and they can have seats that can be removed or fixed, or be equipped with infant car seats and a riding board. They can be designed to accommodate a single infant or toddler or twins. Some are made for running, while others can be utilized at the beach or on trails for hiking.

Modular designs are particularly useful for families that need to grow with their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle, for example allows parents to mix and match seat units, cots, and car seats to let the stroller fit all the family members from infant to toddlerhood.

Other double strollers with modular designs like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double can be adapted to a single child by using baby seats or a bassinet or for a toddler using an elevated board or jump seat (sold separately). The UPPAbaby is a versatile stroller that can be set up in 30 different ways, making it suitable for twins, siblings or a growing family.

The UPPAbaby is also a proponent of green and sustainability initiatives. The UPPAbaby comes in various colors, and its fabrics are made from recycled water bottles.

Safety

Double strollers are often accused of being cumbersome and difficult to maneuver. They are also bulky. However, the newest models are sleeker and provide various options for customization. You will find one that can fit an infant car seat, making it easier to travel with two children.

If you're in the market for a side-by-side or in-line double stroller, ensure that it's JPMA certified to ensure it complies with the minimum safety standards and passes regular inspections. You'll need to ensure that the suspension system gives a smooth ride for your children when they are in the front seat. If your stroller has a handlebar make sure it is adjustable so that both parents can use it.

A canopy is an additional feature that can shield your children twin buggy from birth harsh sunlight or inclement weather. The best canopy features an reversible window or clear plastic peek-aboo to let you watch your child's progress without causing any disturbance. Some canopies come with visors to block the direct sun.

The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is a second important aspect to think about. Compact strollers are easier to store in your car's trunk and take up less room. Strollers with only one button to fold the chassis are more user-friendly.

When deciding which double stroller to buy, consider the age difference between your children and the type of trip you're planning to take them on. For example, if your kids are close in age it is possible to opt for a tandem high-low stroller so that they can interact on outings. On the other the other hand, if you have a large age gap then you may want to consider a side-by-side model that gives them more privacy.

If you're planning to use your stroller for baby car seats, select one with a good attachment score and compatible with top-rated brands. This won't have as big impact on your overall rating as other factors but it's an important consideration if you're planning on using car seat adapters.
