Buying a Double Infant Stroller A double stroller is a great way for parents to transport multiple children. The most effective models are easy to fold, carry and place into a trunk of a car. They also offer different seating arrangements for children of different ages. If your children are close in age, you may find that a sit-and-stand or side-by-side style is the best way to avoid fights between siblings over the best seat to use. We also recommend options that accept two infant car seat like the UPPAbaby v2 double. Comfort A comfortable stroller is key for your toddler and baby. Pick 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. Choose a big UPF 50+ canopy to provide sun protection for both children. Adjustable footrests allow your child to stand in the rear seat if they're exhausted. Some double strollers offer this option for both children, including the Safety 1st model that is the top-selling model. The number of seats you can put in your stroller will depend on the weights and ages of the children that are using it. A side-by-side baby stroller allows you to keep an eye on two children at a time, making it ideal for twins or siblings of a similar age. It's more spacious than other types of strollers, and can be difficult to maneuver in crowded or narrow areas. On the other hand, a sit-and-stand stroller allows older siblings to stand while you push the baby in the infant car seat. It's not the best option for infants, but it can be a good fit when your kids are around three years old and can walk longer distances. A convertible stroller is an additional alternative. double pram and pushchair comes with a variety of seating options and can be used for years as a double or single.

Ease of Use A double stroller isn't a cheap investment, so parents often seek one that is simple to use. It should include a variety of features like the capability to fold the stroller in a compact manner and alter the height of the handlebar to accommodate different users. Certain models have multiple storage compartments to enable families to keep their belongings separate to make them easy to access. They also come with parent consoles and organizer bags that store phones, keys and other necessities on the ready. A stroller is supposed to be able to adjust to the changing needs of your family as they grow older as well. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double, for instance is a budget-friendly stroller that includes an adjustable system. It allows you to add a second seat, transform the stroller into a triple with the addition of a board, or change to a single-mode by adding a bench at the rear. This flexibility can make a double stroller work for the time you need it to. When it comes to maneuverability, some models aren't able to turn on a dime however the majority of our Lab testers appreciated the ease-of-use and maneuverability of the inline Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. This model can be used with all of our top-rated infant car seats and is suitable for twins or kids of varying age. Its telescoping handles and easy-to-use brakes make it more maneuverable than other double strollers that we evaluated. On the other hand, the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double features a streamlined design and a large storage basket that can accommodate two car seats for toddlers or one infant car seat plus an ordinary child's seat. It can be used by one child up to age three. The tires are filled with foam and made to not flatten.

It's also simple to open and re-close with a latch and requires no tools to put together. It was a top pick among our Lab experts due to its durability, shopability, and affordability. Easy of Storage Double strollers should be able to carry diaper bags as well as water bottles, snacks, toys and jackets for children and parents' wallets, keys, phones and other belongings. They should also be able to glide over different surfaces, and maneuver in tight places. When not in use, they are often required to fit into the trunk of a car. To meet these needs Double strollers can be built in a wide range of styles. They can be side-by-side or tandem with seats that are removable or fixed or come with infant car seats and a riding board. They can also be designed to fit a single newborn or toddler, or twins. Some are designed for running, while others can be used on beaches or on hiking trails. Modular designs are particularly useful for families who want to expand their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle S, for example, is designed to allow parents to mix and match seat units, cot attachments, and car seats, so that the stroller is able to serve the entire family from birth to toddlerhood. Other double strollers that are modular, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double can be modified to accommodate one child using the bassinet or baby seat or for a toddler using an elevated board or jump seat (sold separately). The UPPAbaby is an adaptable stroller that can be set up 30 different ways. It's great for twins, siblings or an expanding family. The UPPAbaby is also a proponent of sustainability and green initiatives. The UPPAbaby is available in many colors, and the fabrics are made from recycled water bottles. Raul one of our testers, used the double stroller for testing with his five-month-old son and three-year-old daughter. He said it was easy to take the parts out and put them together because they came in neatly-labeled boxes with video and instructions. The UPPAbaby also comes with a telescoping handlebar, and brakes controlled by your thumb. The swiveling wheels at the front can help it make more precise turns on sidewalks in cities. Safety While double strollers have received a bad rap for being bulky and difficult to maneuver, the latest generation of strollers are sleek and offer many options for customization. You can find one that is compatible with an infant car seat, making it easier to travel with two children. Whether you're looking for a side-byside or in-line double stroller, be sure it's JPMA certified to ensure it meets minimum safety standards and undergoes regular inspections. Also, you should consider a suspension system that provides an easy ride and doesn't cause bumps or jostling for your children 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 can protect your baby from harsh sunlight and inclement weather. The best canopy features an reversible flap as well as a transparent plastic windows that peek-a-boo that allows you to watch your children without disturbing them. Some canopies also have visors to block direct sun. The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is a second important aspect to think about. Compact strollers are much easier to put in the trunk of your car and take up less room. Strollers with a single button to fold the chassis are also more user-friendly. When deciding which double stroller take into consideration the age gap between your children and the type of trip you intend to take them on. For instance, if you're children are similar in age, you may want to opt for an incline-to-low tandem stroller so that they can get to know each other during outings. If your children are separated due to a large age gap you can select one which allows them to enjoy more privacy. If you intend to use your stroller to carry baby car seats, you should choose a model with a high attachment score and compatible with top-rated brands. This won't have as significant an impact on the overall rating as other metrics however it is crucial if you intend to use adapters for car seats.
