Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller is an ideal option for parents to take multiple children. The best models are simple to fold and transport and can easily fit in the trunk of a car and offer versatile seating arrangements for children of various ages.

If your children are similar in age, you might decide that a sit-and stand or side-by-side design is the best method to avoid fights between siblings over which seat to choose. We also like the options that accept two infant car seats such as the UPPAbaby V2 double.

Comfort

A stroller that is comfortable is essential for both your toddler and baby. Select one with padding for the seats, a wide base and swiveling front wheels to smooth out bumps in the road, and buckles that are simple to secure and remove.

You can also search for a large, UPF 50+ canopy that provides sun protection as well as plenty of coverage for both kids. Adjustable footrests allow your child to stand in the rear seat when they are exhausted. Some double pram and pushchair strollers, like the most popular model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.

The number of seats you select in your stroller is contingent on the ages and weights of the children who are that are using it. A side-by-side baby stroller lets you to watch two children at a time which is ideal for twins or siblings of similar age. It's wider than other configurations, and can be difficult to maneuver in crowded or narrow areas.

On the other hand, a sit-and stand stroller gives older siblings a chance to stand while you push the baby in an infant car seat. It's not the best option for babies, but it is useful for older children who can walk for longer distances.

A convertible stroller is another alternative. It has multiple seating options and can be used as a single or double. Rebecca says that this kind of stroller is a good choice for parents who want to buy one stroller but plan to use it with two kids. "It's more expensive than our top tandem pick but it will last for a long time, has great 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 some other options, but it features an elegant design and top-quality material.

Easy of Use

A double stroller isn't a cheap investment, so parents often seek an option that is easy to use. It should come with a range of features like the ability to fold the stroller into a compact size and alter the height of the handlebar to accommodate different types of users. Some models have more than one storage compartment to allow families to divide up belongings for quick access, and organizer bags or consoles for parents to keep phone, keys, and other essentials easily accessible.

A stroller can be adjusted to the needs of your family throughout the years, too. For instance, a budget-friendly option like the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double includes a modular system that allows you to add a second seat, convert it into a triple by using a rideboard, or switch to a single-mode with an additional bench in the rear. This flexibility lets double strollers to last as long as it is needed.

When it comes to maneuverability, some side-byside models aren't able to turn on a dime however, many of our Lab testers appreciated the ease-of-use and maneuverability of the inline Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. This model accepts all of our top-rated infant car seats and is suitable for twins or children of different ages. The telescoping handles as well as the easy-to-use brakes allow it to be more flexible than other double strollers we tested.

On the other hand, the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double features sleek design and a huge storage basket that can hold two toddler car seats or one infant car seat plus an ordinary child's seat.

Simple of Storage

Double strollers should be able to accommodate diaper bags and water bottles, snacks, toys and jackets for children, as well as parents keys, wallets, phones and other belongings. They must also be able to slide across different surfaces and maneuver in tight spaces. When not in use they often have to fit into the trunk of a vehicle.

They can be side-by-side or tandem and can also have seats that are removable or fixed or even be outfitted with infant car seats and a riding board. They can be designed to fit a single toddler or twins. Some are designed for running, while others could be used on hiking trails or at the beach.

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

Other modular double strollers like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double can be converted to one child with the use of a bassinet or baby seat, or a toddler by using an elevated board or jump seat (sold separately).

If you're in the market for a double stroller that can be used side-by-side, or in line, ensure it is JPMA-certified to ensure it conforms to safety standards. It also has to pass 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 comes with an adjustable handlebar, make sure it is adjustable so that both parents can use it.

A canopy is an additional feature that can shield your children from the harsh sun or inclement weather. The best canopies come with a reversible window or a transparent plastic peek-aboo that lets you observe your child without disturbing them. Some canopies also come with the ability to shade direct sunlight.

The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is another important aspect to take into consideration. Compact strollers are much easier to put in the trunk of your car and take up less space. Also, strollers that have one hand-release button that folds the chassis much more convenient to use.

When choosing a double stroller 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 you're kids are close in age it is possible to choose a tandem double stroller high-low stroller to ensure that they can get to know each other on outings. If your children are separated due to a large age gap you can select a model that allows them to have more privacy.

If you're going to be using your stroller with baby car seats, look for a model that integrates with top-rated car seats and has good attachment scores. It won't have as much impact on your overall rating as the other metrics, but it's an important aspect to take into consideration if you're thinking of using adapters for car seats.
