Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller offers parents with multiple children an enjoyable way to take them around. The best travel double stroller models are reasonably easy to fold and carry and can easily fit in a car trunk and provide a variety of seating arrangements for children of varying ages.

If your children are similar in age, you might find that a sit-and-stand or side-byside style is the best way to avoid fighting between siblings over which seat to use. We also like options that accept two infant car seats such as the UPPAbaby V2 Double.

Comfort

It is important that your baby and toddler are at ease in the stroller. Select one with padding for the seats, a wide base and swiveling front wheels to smooth out bumps on the road, and buckles that are simple to unfasten and fasten.

You can also search for an ample UPF 50+ canopy, which provides sun protection and ample coverage for both kids. Another feature that is comfortable is the adjustable footrests, which let your child sit up in the back seat if they are tired. 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 weights and ages of the kids who are riding in it. A side-byside baby stroller allows you to monitor two children at the same time it is ideal for twins or siblings of the same age. However, it's generally wider than other configurations and may be difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces or in areas with a lot of people.

Sit-and-stand prams allow older siblings to stand up while you push a smaller child 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 for longer distances.

Another option is a convertible stroller which has multiple seating arrangements and can be used as a double or a single for several years. Rebecca says this type of stroller is a great choice for parents who want to purchase one stroller, but want to use it with two children. It's more expensive than the top tandem choice but it'll last for a long time and has an excellent resale value, she adds.

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 tested however it does have an elegant, modern design and high-quality materials. It's compatible with UPPAbaby infant car seats, and has a telescoping handlebar and easy-to-press brakes. It also comes with tires filled with foam that will not wear out and a large storage basket.

User-Friendliness

A double stroller is not a cheap investment, so parents are often looking for a model that's easy to use. It should have a variety 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 have multiple storage compartments to allow families to divide items for quick access, and parent consoles or organizer bags to keep keys, phone, and other essentials within reach.

A stroller should be able to adapt to the changing requirements of your family over time. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double, for example, is a budget-friendly stroller double with an adjustable system. This allows you to add a second seat, transform the stroller into a triple by adding a board, or switch it to a single mode by adding a rear bench. This flexibility will let double strollers work for as long as you want it to.

Furthermore to that, the UPPAbaby is light at just 18 pounds and folds in half for a sleek package that is easy to carry and put away. It's also simple to open and re-close with the latch and doesn't require tools to put together. Our Lab experts picked it as their top choice for its affordability and long-term durability.

Ease of Storage

Double strollers need to be able to accommodate diaper bags, water bottles snacks, toys, and jackets for the kids and parents keys, wallets phones, and other items. They must also be able to slide across different surfaces and maneuver in tight places. They are often required to fit in the trunk of a car, so they should be simple to fold and compact when not in use.

To meet the needs of parents, double strollers can be built in a wide range of designs. They can be tandem or side-byside and can also have seats that can be removed or fixed or even be outfitted with infant car seats and a riding board. They can also be designed to accommodate a single newborn or toddler, or twins. Some are suitable for running, while others could be used on trails for hiking or at the beach.

Modular designs are especially useful for families who want to grow with their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle for instance allows parents to mix and blend seats units, cots and car seats to let the stroller serve the entire family from infant to toddlerhood.

Other double strollers with modular designs, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double, can be modified to fit one child by the use of bassinet or baby seat or a toddler's with a jump seat or a standing board (sold separately). The UPPAbaby is a flexible stroller that can be set up in a variety of ways. It's great for twins, siblings or a growing family.

The UPPAbaby also comes with an adjustable handlebar that can be telescoping, as well as brakes that operate with your thumb. Its swiveling front wheels can help it make tight turns on sidewalks in cities.

Safety

Double strollers are often criticized as being heavy and difficult to maneuver. They are also heavy. However, the newest models are sleeker and provide various options for customization. You might even find one that is compatible with your infant car seat, making it even more convenient to go out and about with two children with you.

If you're looking for a double stroller that can be used side-byside or in a line, make sure it is JPMA-certified to ensure it conforms to safety standards. It will also undergo regular inspections. You'll need to ensure that the suspension system offers an easy ride for your children in the front seat. If your stroller comes with an adjustable handlebar, make sure it's adjustable so that both parents can use it.

A canopy can protect your baby from harsh sunlight and harsh weather. The best canopy features an reversible flap as well as a transparent plastic peek-a-boo windows to let you monitor your children without causing any disturbance to them. Some canopies come with visors to block direct sunlight.

The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is another important aspect to think about. Compact strollers are simpler to put in the trunk of your car and take up less room. Also, strollers with only one button to release the hand that folds the chassis are much easier to use.

When choosing a double stroller to buy take into consideration the age gap between your children and the kind of excursion you plan to take them on. For instance, if your children are in the same age range and you want to consider a tandem high-low stroller so that they can interact when outings are planned. On the other hand, if your children have a significant age gap then you may want to consider a side-by-side model that gives them more privacy.

If you plan to use your stroller for baby car seats, you should choose one with a high attachment score and that is compatible with top-rated brands. This will not have as much of an impact on the overall rating as other indicators however it is important if you plan to use car seat adapters.
