Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller is an ideal way for parents to transport multiple children. The best models are reasonably easy to fold and carry and fit nicely in the trunk of a car and have a variety of seating options for children of different age groups.

If your children are close in age, you may decide that a sit-and stand or side-by-side design is the best method to avoid fights between siblings over which seat to choose. We also like options which accept two infant car seats like the UPPAbaby V2 double.

Comfort

It is essential that your baby and toddler are comfortable in the stroller. Select a stroller with comfortable seats and swiveling tires at the front to smooth road bumps. Also, choose one with buckles that can be easily unfastened and fastened.

Choose a big UPF 50+ canopy that provides sun protection for both children. Another comfort feature is adjustable footrests, which let your child stand up in the back seat when they get tired. Some double strollers provide this feature to both children, such as the Safety 1st model that is the best seller.

The number of seats in the stroller will be contingent on the weight and age of the children who will be using it. A side-byside baby stroller allows you to watch two children at a time, making it ideal for twins or siblings of similar age. However, it's typically wider than other types and can be challenging 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 an ideal choice once your kiddos are around three years old and able to walk longer distances.

Another alternative is a convertible stroller which has multiple seating arrangements and can be used as a single or double for a number of years. Rebecca says this type of stroller is a great option for parents who only want to purchase a single stroller but are planning to use it with two children. It's more expensive than the top tandem model but it'll last for an extended period of time and comes with the best resale value she adds.

This stroller by UPPAbaby is a double stroller that converts into a single or a toddler-and-RumbleSeat configuration.

Ease of Storage

stokke double stroller strollers need to be able to hold diaper bags, water bottles, snacks, toys and jackets for the kids, as well as parents' wallets, keys phones and other things. They should also be able to glide over different surfaces and maneuver through tight spaces. When not in use they are often required to fit into the trunk of a car.

They can also be designed to accommodate a single newborn or toddler or twins. Some are made for running while others are utilized at the beach or on hiking trails.

Safety

Double strollers are often criticized as being heavy, difficult to maneuver and bulky. However, the latest models are sleeker and come with a variety of customization options. You can find one that is compatible with an infant car seat to make it easier to travel with two children.

If you're looking for a side-by-side or in-line double stroller, be sure it's JPMA certified to ensure that it meets minimum safety standards and goes through regular inspections. You'll want to make sure that the suspension system gives a smooth ride for your children when they are in the front seat. If your stroller comes with a handlebar, ensure it's adjustable so that both parents can use it.

A canopy is another essential feature that will protect your children from the harsh sun or inclement weather. The most effective canopies come with the option of a reversible flap, or a clear plastic peek-a-boo window to let you monitor your children without causing any disturbance to them. Some canopies also have visors that block direct sunlight.

Another important factor to consider is how easy the stroller folds and unfolds. Strollers that fold compactly when folded are easier to store and take up less space in the trunk of your car. Strollers that come with a single button to fold the chassis are more user-friendly.

When choosing a double stroller to buy, consider the age difference between your children as well as the type of excursion you plan to take them on. If your children are close in age, you could opt for a tandem stroller that is high/low to allow them to interact on 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, choose one with a good attachment score and that is compatible with top-rated brands. This will not have as big an impact on the overall rating as other metrics but it is still important if you plan to utilize car seat adapters.
