Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller is a convenient way for parents to transport multiple children. The most effective models are easy to fold, carry and fit in a car trunk. They also provide different seating arrangements for children of different ages.

If your children are similar in age, you may consider a sit-and-stand or side-by-side design is the best method to avoid fights between siblings over the best seat to use. We also like options that accept two infant car seats such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double.

Comfort

It is essential that your toddler and baby are both at ease in the stroller. Choose one that has padding for the seats, a wide base and swiveling front wheels to smooth bumps in the road and buckles that are easy to unfasten and fasten.

You could also consider an ample, UPF 50+ canopy that offers sun protection and plenty of coverage for both children. Adjustable footrests allow your child to stand in the rear seat when they're tired. Some double strollers offer this option for both children, such as the Safety 1st model that is the best seller.

The number of seats in your stroller will depend on the weight and age of the children who will be using it. A side-by-side baby stroller lets you to watch two children at a time, making it ideal for twins or siblings of similar age. It's more spacious than other types of strollers, and can be difficult to maneuver in tight or narrow areas.

On the other hand, a sit-and stand stroller allows older siblings to stand while you push your younger child in an infant car seat. It's not ideal for newborns but it's a good fit when your kids are around three years old and able to walk for longer distances.

Another alternative is a convertible stroller, which has multiple seating arrangements and can be used as a single or double stroller with infant car seat for a number of years. Rebecca says that this type of stroller would be a good choice for parents who plan to buy one stroller and use it with both 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 says.

They also include parent consoles and organizer bags that store phones, keys and other necessities on the ready.

This flexibility allows double strollers to last as long as you need it.

Double strollers have been criticized for being heavy and difficult to maneuver, the latest generation of models are sleek and offer many options for customization. You can find one that fits 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 twin stroller side by side, make sure it's JPMA certified to ensure that it meets minimum safety standards and goes through regular inspections. You should also look for an adjustable suspension system that gives smooth riding and doesn't create bumps or jostling for your children in the front seat. If your stroller comes with a handlebar make sure it's adjustable to ensure both parents can use it.

A canopy can protect your child from harsh sunlight and harsh weather. The most effective canopies have a reversible window or a clear plastic peek-aboo to let you observe your child without causing any disturbance. Certain canopies come with visors that block the direct sun.

Another important metric to consider is how easily the stroller folds and unfolds. Strollers that fold compactly when folded are more convenient to store and take up less space in the trunk of your car. Strollers with only one button to fold the chassis are easier to use.

When deciding which double stroller be aware of the age gap between your children and the type of trip you're planning to take them on. If your children are close in age, you can opt for a tandem high/low stroller in order to allow them to interact when outings. If your children are separated by an age gap that is large you can select one that allows them to have more privacy.

If you're going to be using your stroller with baby car seats, search for a model that integrates with top-rated car seats and has high attachment scores. This won't have as significant impact on your overall rating as the other factors, but it's an important consideration if you're planning on using adapters for car seats.
