Buying Guide For Double Strollers

A double stroller is a great investment for families with two children of similar ages. These narrow tandem buggies or versatile side-by-side buggies allow you to keep both children in sight while you shop, parks, and whatever else life can throw at you.

Comfort

The comfort factor is one of the most important factors to think about when purchasing a double-stroller. This can include the seating arrangement as well as the overall size, which has an impact on the ease of use and storage. "Parents must determine what the stroller weighs as well as its dimensions folded," says child development expert and mom Katie Billingsley of Fourth Trimester Postnatal Retreat. "They should also look at the options for recline and seat age ranges to ensure a good fit for their family."

A well-constructed double stroller will be durable enough to travel on various surfaces with ease, from parks trails to suburban sidewalks, and from infant car seats to toddler booster seats. It should offer a range of seating options for children of different stages of development, as well as comfort features like peek-a-boo window and adjustable canopies that protect children from rain or sun.

For a lot of families, a double travel buggy stroller will be used from birth until the teen years, so it's essential to think about seating options. "There are two main categories--in-line with one seat in front of the other, and side by side with seats adjacent to each other," Billingsley explains. "Some parents prefer an in-line option for its sleek look and versatility, whereas others prefer a wagon-style double stroller to make the most space for large items or grocery bags."

Some products may offer different recline options--with one seat being almost flat, while the other is upright, this type of distinction is more prevalent in the in-line models. Billingsley suggests choosing a model with both a near flat recline and leg rest adjustments for both seats. This will ensure that both children can lay comfortably.

She also suggests that parents look for strollers with storage compartments to allow them to easily access personal items, snacks and toys in motion. She also suggests that it is beneficial to choose a stroller that comes with a parent console or organizer bag, that can be attached to the handlebars. This can aid parents in keeping their essentials at hand.

A few of the top-rated double strollers are expandable that allows parents to modify the configuration to meet the needs of their expanding family. For instance the Mockingbird Expandable is a highly-rated double stroller that can be used with a single seat from birth, and then converted to tandem (with the addition of a second hand double buggy seat and bassinet) as the child gets older.

Safety

Double strollers should be able to carry the weight of two passengers and any additional cargo. Strollers should be simple to maneuver and push, particularly when on rough terrain and in tight spaces. The best strollers come with ergonomic handlebars and adjustable heights which make it easier for parents to maintain their form when pushing them. A harness that is not rethread which makes the adjustment of seat belts quicker and easier, is another nice feature to look for. Safety features include a durable brake system and wheels that can glide across any surface.

Some parents choose a side by side design to allow both children to be together during family outings. This arrangement can help prevent siblings arguing over who sits in which spot however, it's not 100% secure. If the seats are different levels, a child might kick or punch another while walking in the event that the seats are at different levels.

A tandem-style stroller is ideal option for parents with twins or siblings who are similar in age. It lets parents see both children at once. These smallest double buggy strollers can be wider, and may not fit through certain interior doors. For maximum versatility, consider a single-to-double stroller that transitions from a single to a tandem in various ways, like the well-known CYBEX Gazelle S. These models can be adapted to a wide variety of configurations and allow you to click in infant car seats or cot attachments, depending on your requirements.

If you're looking for a tandem or a side-by-side stroller, make sure that the stroller has been JPMA certified to meet stringent safety standards. Be aware of the weight limit that applies to each seat. Exceeding these limits could cause frame fatigue or other issues.

While it's easy for us to focus on all the extra bells and whistles on a new stroller, it is crucial to remember that a stroller is basically a baby carrier that will be carried around for long durations of time. It must be comfortable for both the passengers and easy to clean and maintain, and ideally, it should offer an easy-to-use, familiar design so that the person pushing it is able to effortlessly move it around without having to think twice about how to move forward or turn left or right, or even apply the brakes.

User-Friendliness

A double stroller must be easy to maneuver on different types of terrains for families always on the move. Features like adjustable canopies with windows that peek out and dependable brake systems are crucial to ensure the safety of your children but there are many other aspects that affect stroller ease of use. A stroller should be small enough to fit in the trunk of your vehicle yet have plenty of storage space for food or other items. Also important are thoughtful touches such as a cup holder for one parent or console for parents, as well as a snack tray for kids--all things that will make life with two kids significantly easier.

In our testing we rated each compact Twin stroller based on how it performed on a variety of surfaces and how well it could maneuver in tight spaces. We also looked at how easy it was to fold the stroller and then unfold it as well as if a particular feature made a difference to the overall performance. A stroller without rethread straps makes it easy to adjust the seat belts. This can be a major benefit for parents who are on the move since it reduces time and eliminates the need to re-thread the harness.

The UPPAbaby 2 Double was a top performer in this measure because it offered a wide range of seating configurations, and additional accessories to accommodate growing families. The wagon-style double stroller can be expanded to allow for an additional seat, a bassinet or even a toddler-friendly riding board, which is ideal for active families planning long trips with multiple kids of varying ages. It easily glides over cobblestones, pavements, and ball fields. It can also be folded flat to fit in a trunk or a closet. Our test subject Kerry was impressed by the simple, intuitive nature of this stroller's design. The smart packaging clear sections, well-marked sections and the user's guide made it simple to put together this stroller.

Stores

A double stroller can be able to hold twice as much stuff as a single and double stroller stroller, so make sure you have plenty of storage space. You want a stroller with enough storage space to accommodate the essentials of both parents and children like bottles, toys, snacks, and diapers. Find baskets and pockets under the seats. Also, think about a stroller that has an expandable cargo area to accommodate bulky items such as lunch bags and diaper bags.

A good double stroller must have the ability to adapt as your family grows. Billingsley says that some models have a bassinet attachment to accommodate newborns. Other models come with child seats that be able to grow with your child until they are ready to ride on the back. Some double strollers allow older children to join in the fun with the rider board.

There are many different double strollers on the market. You can choose from models with high-performance features that are great for rough terrain, as well as affordable options that you can use on a daily basis. While shopping, you can read reviews and opinions of families just like yours to get a better idea of what you can expect from the double stroller you pick.

Double strollers are available in three different models: tandem, side by side and wagon-style. Billingsley states that side-byside strollers are the most adaptable and ideal for twins as well as children of similar ages. Tandem double single pushchair strollers, on contrary, have two seats that are arranged close to each other and facing in opposite directions. This is a ideal choice for children of the same age, or for siblings who like to interact with each other. Tandem strollers are more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces, and are less likely to pass through doorways than their side-by-side counterparts.

If you prefer a wagon-style double stroller check out this top model from Safety 1st. This affordable model was praised by test participants for its various seating configurations. It can be used with two infant car seats or one child in a convertible toddler chair. Our reviewers also praised the memory foam seats as well as the canopy, which has 50+ SPF, and foam-filled wheels that never flatten. And when it's time for you to fold, this model needs just a couple of tugs on straps on each seat (under the seat where kids sit) to fold it in half.
