Buying a Double Infant Stroller A double stroller is an ideal way for parents to transport multiple children. The best models are simple to fold, carry and fit into the trunk of a car. They also provide various seating arrangements for children of different ages. 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 rides in which car seat. We also like options that accept two infant car seats, such as the UPPAbaby V2 Double. Comfort A comfortable stroller is key for both your baby and toddler. Pick a stroller that has cushioned seats and swiveling wheels on the front to smooth out road bumps. Also, select one that has buckles that are easily fastened and unfastened. You can also look for an ample, UPF 50+ canopy, which provides sun protection and plenty of coverage for both children. Another feature that is comfortable is the adjustable footrests that let your child sit up in the back seat if they get tired. Some double strollers, such as the top-selling model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children. The number of seats you can put in your stroller depends on the weights and ages of the children riding in it. A side-by-side baby stroller lets you to monitor two children at a time which is ideal for twins or siblings of the same age. However, it's typically wider than other models and may be difficult to navigate in narrow spaces or in crowded areas. On the other hand, a sit-and stand stroller gives older siblings the chance to stand while you push your younger child in the infant car seat. It's not ideal for newborns but it's suitable when your children are about three years old and can walk longer distances. A convertible stroller is a different option. It offers multiple seating options and can be used for years as a double or single. Rebecca says this kind of stroller is a great option for parents who wish to purchase a single stroller but want to use it with two children. It's more expensive than the top tandem choice but it will last for a long time 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 models 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 brakes that are easy to press. It has foam-filled wheels that won't break and a huge storage bin. Easy to Use A double stroller is a costly investment. Parents are therefore looking for models that are easy to use. That means a wide range of features, ranging from the ability to fold it up compactly to adjusting the height of the handlebar for different users, should be available. Some models come with multiple storage compartments to allow families to separate belongings to make them easy to access. They also come with parent consoles and organizer bags to keep phones, keys, and other essentials at fingertips.

It allows you to add another seat, convert the stroller into a triple using the addition of a board, or change to a single-mode by adding a rear bench. This flexibility will let a double stroller work for as long as you want it to. In terms of maneuverability, a lot of side-by-side models are difficult to maneuver. However, our Lab testers were pleasantly surprised by the ease of operation and maneuverability of the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2.

It's also extremely light at just 18 pounds. It's also simple to open and re-close with an latch, and requires no tools to put together. Our Lab experts picked it as their top choice for its price, shopability and longevity. Ease of Storage Double strollers need to be able to hold diaper bags jackets, water bottles, and other items, as well as the wallets, keys and phones of parents. They should also be able to glide over different surfaces and maneuver in tight spaces. When not in use, they usually have to be tucked into the trunk of a vehicle. To meet these requirements, double strollers can be constructed in a variety of designs. They can be side-by-side or tandem and can also have fixed or removable seats or come with infant car seats as well as a riding board. They can be made to accommodate a single toddler or twins. Some are designed to be used for jogging while others can be used at the beach or on hiking trails. Modular designs are especially beneficial for families who want to expand their strollers.

Other modular double strollers like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double, can be modified to fit one child with the use of bassinets or a baby seat or a toddler's the option of a jumping seat or a standing board (sold separately). sit and stand double stroller allows it to be set up in 30 different ways, making it ideal for twins or siblings, or even a growing family.

You can find one that fits an infant car seat to make it easier to travel with two children. Whether you're looking for a side-by-side or an in-line double stroller, make sure it's JPMA certified to ensure it complies with the minimum safety standards and passes regular inspections. You'll want to make sure that the suspension system offers a smooth ride for your children in the front seat. If your stroller comes with a handlebar, ensure it is adjustable so that both parents can use it. A canopy can protect your child from harsh sunlight and inclement weather. The best canopies come with an reversible window or transparent plastic peek-aboo which lets you monitor your child without disturbing them. Some canopies have visors that block direct sunlight. The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is another important aspect to take into consideration. Compact strollers are much easier to store in your car's trunk and take up less space. Also, strollers with a single hand-release button that folds the chassis more user-friendly. When choosing a double stroller, keep in mind how far apart your children are in age and what kind of outings you're planning to take them on. For instance, if you're children are similar in age it is possible to opt for a tandem high-low stroller so that they can get to know each other during outings. If your children are separated by a large age gap, you may choose a model that allows them to have more privacy. If you intend to use your stroller for baby car seats, choose one with a high attachment score and that is compatible with top-rated brands. This won't have as much of an impact on the overall rating as other factors however it is important if you plan to use car seat adapters.
