Buying a Double Infant Stroller A double stroller gives parents with multiple children an easy way to move their children around. The best models are easy to fold, carry and place in a car trunk. They also offer flexible seating arrangements for kids of different ages. If your children are similar in age, you could consider a sit-and-stand or side-byside style is the best way to avoid sibling fights over which seat to use. We also like options which accept two infant car seat, such as the UPPAbaby v2 double. Comfort It is crucial that your toddler and baby are comfortable in the stroller. Pick one with padded seats, a wide base, and swivelling front wheels to smooth out bumps in the road and buckles that are easy to secure and remove. Find a large, UPF 50+ canopy to provide sun protection for both children and their parents. Another comfort feature is adjustable footrests, which allow your child to stand in the back seat when they are tired. Some double strollers, such as the top-selling model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children. The number of seats you select in your stroller will depend on the ages and weights of the children who are riding in it. For example, a side-by-side stroller allows you to keep an eye on both children simultaneously and is ideal for twins or siblings that are close in age. It's larger than other models and may be difficult to maneuver through crowded or narrow spaces. A sit-and-stand pram allows older siblings to stand up while you push a younger child in an infant car-seat. It's not the best option for infants but it's suitable when your kids are around three years old and are able to walk longer distances. A convertible stroller is an additional alternative. It offers multiple seating configurations and can be used as a single or double. Rebecca says this kind of stroller is an ideal choice for parents who are planning to purchase one stroller and use it with both children. “It's more expensive than our top tandem selection however, 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.

Easy of Use A double stroller is not a cheap investment, so parents are often looking for an option that is easy to use. It should have a variety of features including the ability to fold the stroller compactly and adjust the handlebar height to accommodate different types of users. Certain models have multiple storage compartments that allow families to organize their belongings to make them easy to access. They also come with parent consoles and organizer bags to keep phones, keys and other necessities on the ready. A stroller can be adjusted to the needs of your family throughout the years as well. For instance, a cost-effective option such as the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double includes an adjustable system that lets you add a seat, transform it into a triple using a rideboard, or switch to a single mode with a rear bench. This flexibility can help double strollers last as long as you need it to. In terms of maneuverability, a lot of side-by-side models are difficult to maneuver. However, twin pushchair pushchairsandprams.uk were impressed with the ease of operation and maneuverability of the 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 children of various age.

It's also easy to open and close using a latch, and requires no tools to put together. Our Lab experts selected it as the best choice for its price and shopability, as well as its longevity. Simple of Storage Double strollers need to be able to accommodate diaper bags, water bottles snacks, toys, and jackets for children and parents' wallets, keys phones and other things. They should also be able to slide over various surfaces and maneuver into tight spaces. They are often required to fit in the trunk of a car, so they must be easy to fold and compact when not being used. Double strollers come in a variety of styles to meet these needs. They can be tandem or side-by-side with removable or fixed seats, or with an infant car seat and a ridingboard. They can also be designed to fit a single newborn or toddler or twins. Some are designed for jogging while others can be used at the beach or on hiking trails. Modular designs are particularly useful for families who want to grow with their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle for instance allows parents to mix and combine seats units, cots and car seats to let the stroller serve all the family members from infant to toddlerhood. Other modular double strollers like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double can be modified to accommodate one child with the use of baby seats or a bassinet or for a toddler using an elevated board or jump seat (sold separately). The UPPAbaby is a versatile stroller that can be configured in a variety of ways, making it suitable for twins and siblings, or for a growing family. The UPPAbaby is also a proponent of sustainability and green initiatives. The UPPAbaby is available in various colors and the fabrics are made out of recycled water bottles.

The UPPAbaby also features a telescoping handlebar and brakes controlled by your thumb. The swiveling wheels on its front can aid in making tighter turns on city sidewalks. Safety While double strollers have a bad reputation as cumbersome and difficult to maneuver, the new generation of models are sleek and come with a range of customization options. You might even find one that fits your infant car seat, making it even more convenient to go out and about with two kids with you. If you're in the market for a side-byside or in-line double stroller, ensure that it's JPMA certified to ensure it complies with the minimum safety standards and passes regular inspections. You'll want to ensure that the suspension system gives an easy 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 is a crucial feature that protects your babies from harsh sunlight or the harsh weather. The best canopies have the option of a reversible flap, or a transparent plastic windows that peek-a-boo to let you monitor your children without disturbing them. Some canopies come with visors to block the direct sun. The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is an important factor to consider. Strollers that are compact when folded are easier to store and take up less space in the trunk of your car. Strollers that have a single button to fold the chassis are simpler to use. When choosing a double stroller to buy take into consideration the age gap between your children and the type of trip you're planning to take the strollers on. For instance, if you're children are in the same age range, you may want to choose a tandem high-low stroller to ensure that they can get to know each other when outings are planned. If your children are separated by the age gap, you may choose a model that gives them more privacy. If you're going to be using your stroller with baby car seats, search for a model that works with top-rated car seat brands and has good attachment scores. This won't have as significant of an impact on your overall rating as the other metrics however it's a crucial factor to consider if you're planning on using car seat adapters.
