Buying a Double Infant Stroller A double stroller is an ideal way for parents to transport multiple children. The most effective models are easy to fold, carry and fit into a trunk of a car. They also offer flexible seating arrangements for kids of varying ages. Parents of children who are close to age may find that a side by side or sit-and stand style is best to avoid sibling fights over who gets to ride in which seat. We also like the options that allow two infant car seats like the UPPAbaby v2 double. Comfort A stroller that is comfortable is essential for both your baby and toddler. Pick one with padded seats, a wide base and swiveling front wheels to smooth out bumps in the road, and buckles that are simple to secure and remove. Look for a large UPF 50+ canopy to offer sun protection for both children and adults. Another feature that is comfortable is the adjustable footrests, which allow your child to stand in the back seat when they are tired. Some double strollers give this feature for both children, such as the Safety 1st model that is the top-selling model. How many seats you choose in your stroller is contingent on the weight and ages of the kids that are using it. For instance, a side-by-side stroller lets you keep an eye on both kids at the same time, so it's perfect for twins or siblings close in age. However, it's generally larger than other configurations and can be challenging to maneuver in tight spaces or in areas with a lot of people. Sit-and-stand strollers allow older siblings to stand while you push a smaller child in a car seat for infants. It's not the best option for infants, but it can be useful for older children that can walk for longer distances. A convertible stroller is a different option. It has multiple seating configurations and can be used for years as a single or double. Rebecca says that this type of stroller is an ideal choice for parents who plan to buy one stroller and use it with both children. “It's more expensive than our top tandem pick however, it will last for a long time, offers a high potential for resales 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. It is not as compact as other options but it does have an elegant design and premium material. It's compatible with UPPAbaby car seats, and features a telescoping bar as well as easy to press brakes. It also comes with foam-filled tires that will not wear out and large storage basket. Ease of Use A double stroller can be an expensive purchase. Parents are therefore seeking models that are easy to use. That means a wide range of features, from the ability to fold it up compactly to the ability to adjust the height of the handlebar for different users, should be readily available. Some models have more than one storage space to allow families to split items for quick access, and organizer bags or consoles for parents to keep phones, keys and other items within reach. A stroller is supposed to be able to adjust to the needs of your family as they grow older, too. For instance, a cost-effective model like the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double includes an adjustable system that lets you add a seat, transform it to a triple with an incline board, or change to a single-mode with the rear bench. This allows a double stroller to last for as long as it is needed. In terms of maneuverability, a lot of side-by-side models are difficult to maneuver, but our Lab testers were impressed with the ease of operation and maneuverability of the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. This model is compatible with all of our top-rated car seats for infants and can be used by twins or children of different ages. The telescoping handles and simple-to-use brakes allow it to be more flexible than other double strollers we tested. On the other side the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double comes with a streamlined design and a large storage basket that can hold two toddler car seats or one infant car seat in addition to an ordinary child's seat. It can also be used by one child up to the age of three and is a smooth ride due to its foam-filled tires that are made to not go flat. The UPPAbaby folds down in half and is easy to store and carry. It's also super lightweight and weighs only 18 pounds. It's also simple to open and close with the latch and doesn't require tools to put together. It was a top pick from our Lab experts for its durability and shopability as well as its affordability. Easy of Storage Double strollers need to be able to hold diaper bags, water bottles and jackets, as well as the keys, wallets and phones of parents. They should also be able to move over different surfaces and maneuver in tight spaces. They often need to fit into the trunk of a vehicle, so they should be easy to fold and compact when not in use. To meet these requirements, double strollers can be constructed in a variety of designs. They can be side-by-side or tandem, with fixed or removable seats or equipped with infant car seat and a ridingboard. They can also be designed to accommodate a single toddler or newborn or twins. Some are designed to be used for running while others are used at the beach or on trails for hiking. Modular designs can be especially useful for families that have to grow into their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle for instance, allows parents to mix and match seat units, cots, and car seats to make the stroller suitable for the entire family from newborn to toddlerhood. Other modular double strollers like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double can be modified to accommodate one child with the use of the bassinet or baby seat or a toddler using an elevated board or jump seat (sold separately). The UPPAbaby is a flexible stroller that can be set up in a variety of ways. It's perfect for twins, siblings, or an expanding family. The UPPAbaby is also committed to sustainability and green initiatives. The UPPAbaby comes with various colors, and its materials are made from recycled water bottles. In our testing, our test participant Raul used the double stroller with his three-year old daughter and five-month-old son. Raul says it was simple to unpack and assemble because the components were neatly labeled boxes, which had instructions and a video code. Another excellent feature of the UPPAbaby is its telescoping handlebar as well as brakes that are one-handed and can be operated using only your thumb. The swiveling wheels at the front can assist in making more precise turns on city sidewalks. Safety While double strollers have been criticized for being heavy and difficult to maneuver, the latest generation of models are sleek and provide a variety of customization options. You can find one that fits an infant car seat to make it easier to travel with two children. If you're shopping for a double stroller that can be used side-byside or in line, ensure that it's JPMA certified to ensure it is safe to use. It will also go through regular inspections. You'll want to ensure that the suspension system gives a smooth ride for your children when they are in the front seat. And if your stroller has a handlebar, make sure it's adjustable to accommodate the different heights. A canopy can shield your child from harsh sunlight and inclement weather. The best canopies come with windows that can be reversible or a transparent plastic peek-aboo that lets you monitor your child without disturbing them. Some canopies also have the ability to shade direct sunlight. The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is an important aspect to take into consideration. 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 you are shopping for a double stroller, keep in mind how far your children are and what kind of excursions you are planning to take them on. For double buggy sale , if your children are similar in age and you want to consider a tandem high-low stroller so that they can get to know each other when outings are planned. On the other side, if your kids have a large age gap then you may want to consider an option that is side-by-side, which gives them more privacy. If you're planning on 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 much of an impact on the overall rating as other factors but it is still important if you plan to utilize car seat adapters.
