Buying a Double Infant Stroller A double stroller is a convenient option for parents to take multiple children. The best strollers are simple to fold and transport and can easily fit in the trunk of a car and provide a variety of seating arrangements for children of different age groups. Parents with children of a similar age may find that a side-by-side or sit-and stand style is best to prevent sibling rivalries over who gets to ride in which seat. We also like options that accept two infant car seats, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double. Comfort It is crucial that your toddler and baby are both comfortable in the stroller. Choose one that has padded seats, a wide base and swiveling front wheels to smooth out bumps on the road, and buckles that are easy to secure and remove. You could also consider an ample, UPF 50+ canopy that offers sun protection and plenty of coverage for both kids. Adjustable footrests allow your child to sit in the back seat when they are tired. Some double strollers, such as the most popular model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children. The number of seats in the stroller will be contingent on 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 simultaneously and is ideal for twins or siblings who are close in age. However, double single pushchair 's generally wider than other configurations and may be difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces or in crowded areas. A sit-and-stand pram allows older siblings to stand up while you push a younger child in the infant car seat. It's not the ideal choice for babies, but it is useful for older children who are able to walk for longer distances. A convertible stroller is another option. It offers multiple seating options and can be used as a double or single. Rebecca says this kind of stroller would be a good choice for parents who are planning to purchase a single stroller and use it with both children. It's more expensive than the top tandem choice however it will last many years and has the best resale value she says. This stroller by UPPAbaby is a double stroller that converts into a single or a toddler-and-RumbleSeat configuration. It is not as compact as other options however it has an elegant design and premium material. It's compatible with UPPAbaby infant car seats, and comes with a telescoping handlebar as well as easy-to-press brakes. It has foam-filled wheels that won't flatten and a huge storage bin. Easy of Use A double stroller is not an inexpensive investment, which is why parents are often looking for a model that's easy to use. It should come with a range of features, including the capability to fold the stroller in a compact manner and alter the height of the handlebar to accommodate different types of users. Some models also have multiple storage compartments to allow families to divide items for quick access, and organizer bags for parents or parent consoles to keep phone, keys and other items in reach. A stroller can be adjusted to your family's needs throughout the years as well. For instance, a budget-friendly option like the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double includes a modular system that lets you add another 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 a double stroller to last as long as you need it. In terms of maneuverability, many side-by-side models are difficult to maneuver, however our Lab testers were impressed by the ease of operation and maneuverability of the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2.

Ease of Storage Double strollers must be able to accommodate diaper bags as well as water bottles, snacks, toys and jackets for children as well as parents keys, wallets, phones and other belongings. They also need to be able to glide over various surfaces and maneuver into tight spaces. When not in use, they are often required to fit into the trunk of a car.

They can be tandem or side-byside with seats that are removable or fixed, or be equipped with infant car seats and a riding board. They can be made to accommodate one toddler or infant or twins. Some are designed for running, while others can be utilized at the beach or on trails for hiking. Modular designs are especially 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 can be used by the family from birth until toddlerhood. Other double strollers with modular designs like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double can be adapted to one child with the use of the bassinet or baby seat or a toddler using a standing board or jump seat (sold separately).

Safety Double strollers are a bit of been criticized for being heavy and difficult to maneuver, the latest generation of strollers are sleek and provide a variety of options for customization. You can even find one that fits your car seat for infants which makes it more convenient to go out and about with two kids with you. If you're looking for a double stroller that can be used side-by-side, or in a line, make sure it is JPMA-certified to ensure it meets safety standards. It will also undergo regular inspections. You'll also want to consider an adjustable suspension system that gives a smooth ride and doesn't cause bumps, or jolting for your little ones in the front seat. If your stroller is equipped with a handlebar, make sure it's adjustable to accommodate Moms and Dads of different heights. A canopy is an additional feature that protects your children from harsh sunlight or the harsh weather. The best canopy features windows that can be reversible or a clear plastic peek-aboo to let you observe your child without causing disturbance. Some canopies also come with visors that block direct sunlight. The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is another important aspect to take into consideration. Compact strollers are easier to put in the trunk of your car and take up less room. Strollers with a single button to fold the chassis are simpler to use. When you are shopping for a double stroller, keep in mind how far apart your children are in age and what kind of outings you plan on taking them on. For instance, if you're children are similar in age it is possible to choose an incline-to-low tandem stroller so that they can interact when outings are planned. If your children are separated by a large age gap, you may choose a model that allows them to have more privacy. If you're planning on using your stroller with baby car seats, look for a model that integrates with top-rated car seats and has a high attachment score. It won't have as much of an impact on your overall rating as the other factors, but it's an important factor to consider if you're planning on using adapters for car seats.
