Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller offers parents with multiple children an easy way to move their children around. The best travel double stroller models are easy to fold, carry and place into the trunk of a car. They also provide various seating arrangements for children of various ages.

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

Comfort

A comfortable stroller is key for both your toddler and baby. Select a stroller with comfortable seats and swiveling tires at the front to smooth out road bumps. Also, pick one that has buckles that can be easily fastened and unfastened.

You can also search for a large UPF 50+ canopy, which provides sun protection and ample coverage for both kids. Another comfort feature is adjustable footrests that let your child stand up in the back seat if they are tired. Some double buggy newborn strollers, such as the top-selling model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.

The number of seats in your stroller will depend on the weight and age of the children who will be using it. For instance, a side by side stroller allows you to keep an eye on both children at the same time and is ideal for twins or siblings who are close in age. It's wider than other configurations, and can be difficult to maneuver in crowded or narrow spaces.

Sit-and-stand strollers allow older siblings to stand while you push a younger child in the infant car seat. It's not a good choice for babies, but it can be suitable when your kids are around three years old and can walk longer distances.

Another option is a convertible stroller, which offers multiple seating arrangements and can be used as a single or double for a number of years. Rebecca says this kind of stroller is a good option for parents who wish to purchase a single stroller but plan to use it with two children. It's more expensive than the top tandem model however it will last a long time and has a great resale price, she says.

Simple of Storage

double running buggy strollers must be able to hold diaper bags as well as water bottles and jackets along with the wallets, keys and phones of parents. They must also be able to move over different surfaces and maneuver in tight places. When not in use, they often have to fit into the trunk of a car.

Double strollers come in many different styles to meet these needs. They can be tandem or side-byside with seats that can be removed or fixed, or be equipped with infant car seats and a riding board. They can be designed to fit a single infant or toddler or twins. Some are made for running, while others can be utilized at the beach or on trails for hiking.

Modular designs are especially useful for families that have to get bigger for their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle S, for example, is designed to allow parents to mix and match seat units, cot attachments, and car seats so that the stroller is able to serve the family from birth through toddlerhood.

Other double strollers that are modular, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double can be converted to one child with the use of the bassinet or baby seat or for a toddler using a standing board or jump seat (sold separately).

Safety

Double strollers are often criticized as being cumbersome, difficult to maneuver and heavy. However, the most recent models are sleeker and offer various options for customization. You can find one that fits an infant car seat, making it easier to travel with two children.

If you're shopping for a double stroller that can be used side-by-side or in line, be sure that it's JPMA-certified to ensure it is safe to use. It also has to pass regular inspections. You'll need to ensure that the suspension system gives an easy ride for your children in the front seat. If your stroller is equipped with a handlebar, make sure it's adjustable to fit Moms and Dads of different heights.

A canopy can shield your baby from harsh sunlight and harsh weather. The most effective canopies have windows that can be reversible or a transparent plastic peek-aboo that lets you watch your child's progress without causing disturbance. Some canopies have the ability to shade direct sunlight.

The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is a second important aspect to think about. Compact strollers are simpler to put in the trunk of your car and take up less space. Also, strollers that have one hand-release button that folds the chassis much more convenient to use.

When deciding on a double stroller take into consideration the age gap between your children and the type of trip you're planning to take with them. For instance, if your children are similar in age it is possible to choose a tandem high-low stroller to ensure that they can get to know each other during outings. On the other hand, if your children have a large age gap, you might choose a side-byside model that offers them more privacy.

If you're planning on using your stroller with baby car seats, look for a model that integrates with top-rated car seat brands and has high attachment scores. This will not have as much of an impact on the overall rating as other indicators but is still crucial if you intend to utilize car seat adapters.
