Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller provides parents with multiple children an enjoyable way to take them around. The most effective models are easy to fold, carry and fit into the trunk of a car. They also offer various seating arrangements for children of various ages.

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

Comfort

It is crucial that your baby and toddler are comfortable in the stroller. Pick one with padded seats, a wide base, and swivelling front wheels to smooth bumps in the road, and buckles that are easy to fasten and unfasten.

You could also consider a large, UPF 50+ canopy, which provides sun protection and ample coverage for both kids. Another comfort feature is adjustable footrests, which allow your child to stand in the back of the seat when they are tired. Some double buggy for twins strollers, such as the top-selling model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.

The number of seats you can put in your stroller is contingent on the weights and ages of the kids who are riding in it. For example, a side-by-side stroller allows you to keep an eye on two children simultaneously which is perfect for twins or siblings that are close in age. However, it's generally larger than other models and can be difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces or in crowded areas.

Sit-and-stand prams allow older siblings to stand up while you push a smaller child in a car seat for infants. It's not ideal for newborns but it's an ideal choice once your kiddos are around three years old and are able to walk for longer distances.

Another alternative is a convertible stroller which offers multiple seating arrangements and can be used as a double or single for a long time. Rebecca says this kind of stroller is a good choice for parents who want to purchase a single stroller but plan to use it with two children. It's more expensive than the top tandem model but it'll last for a long time and has an excellent resale value, she says.

This stroller by UPPAbaby is a double stroller that converts into a single or a toddler-and-RumbleSeat configuration. It's not as compact as other models but it does have an elegant design and premium material. It's compatible with UPPAbaby infant car seats, and it has an adjustable handlebar that can be telescopically adjusted and easy-to-press brakes. It comes with wheels that are filled with foam that won't flatten and a large storage bin.

Simple to Use

A double stroller isn't an investment that is cheap, and parents are often looking for one that is simple to use. It should have a variety of features, including the possibility of folding the stroller compactly and adjust the handlebar height to accommodate different types of users. Some models come with more than one storage compartment to allow families to split items for quick access, and organizer bags for parents or parent consoles to keep phones, keys and other items within reach.

A stroller can be adjusted to your family's needs as they grow older as well. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double, for instance is a budget-friendly stroller that includes an adjustable system. It lets you add another seat, convert the stroller into a triple by adding the addition of a board, or change it to a single mode by adding a bench at the rear. This allows double strollers to last for as long as it is needed.

In terms of maneuverability and maneuverability, many side-by-side models are difficult to maneuver, but our Lab testers were pleasantly surprised by the ease of use and maneuverability of the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. This model is compatible with our top-rated car seats for infants and can be used by twins or children of various age groups. The telescoping handles as well as the easy-to-use brakes make it more mobile than other double strollers we evaluated.

The UPPAbaby vist v2 double, on the other hand has a sleek design and a large basket that can hold two toddler car seats or an infant car seat with a standard child's seat. It can be used by one child as young as three years old. Its foam-filled tires are designed to last and not wear out.

In addition, the UPPAbaby is super lightweight at only 18 pounds and folds in half to make a slim and sleek box that is easy to transport and put away. It's also easy to open and close using an latch, and requires no tools to put together. Our Lab experts picked it as their top choice for its value, affordability and shopability, as well as its longevity.

Ease of Storage

Double strollers must be able to hold diaper bags as well as water bottles and jackets, as well as the keys, wallets and phones of parents. They should also be able to glide across various surfaces and maneuver into tight spaces. When not in use, they often have to fit into the trunk of a vehicle.

Double strollers come in many different styles to meet your needs. They can be tandem or side-by-side with removable or fixed seats or equipped with infant car seat and a ridingboard. They can be designed to fit a single toddler or twins. Some are made for running while others are used on beaches or on hiking trails.

Modular designs can be especially helpful for families that need to expand their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle for instance, allows parents to mix and combine seats units, cots and car seats to make the stroller serve all the family members from infant to toddlerhood.

Other double strollers that are modular, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double can be converted to one child with the use of a bassinet or baby seat, or a toddler by using a standing board or jump seat (sold separately). The UPPAbaby is a versatile stroller that can be set up 30 different ways. It's perfect for twins, siblings or an expanding family.

The UPPAbaby is also committed to green and sustainability initiatives. The UPPAbaby comes in a wide range of colors, and its materials are made out of recycled water bottles. Raul, one of our testers, used the double stroller for testing with his five-month-old son and three-year-old daughter. He said it was easy to unpack the parts and assemble them since they were packaged neatly with instructions and video codes.

Another excellent aspect of the UPPAbaby is its telescoping handlebar and brakes that are one-handed and can be operated by your thumb. Its swiveling wheels on the front can assist in making tighter turns on city sidewalks.

Safety

Double strollers are often criticized as being heavy, difficult to maneuver and bulky. However, the newest models are sleeker and provide a variety of customization options. You will find one that can fit an infant car seat, making 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 the minimum safety standards and passes regular inspections. You'll want to make sure that the suspension system gives a smooth ride for your children in the front seat. If your stroller comes with a handlebar make sure it is adjustable so that both parents can use it.

A canopy can shield your child from harsh sunlight and inclement weather. The best canopy features a reversible window or a transparent plastic peek-aboo which lets you observe your child without causing any disturbance. Some canopies come with visors to block direct sunlight.

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

When deciding on a double stroller to buy take into consideration the age gap between your children and the kind of trip you're planning to take them on. For instance, if you're children are similar in age, you may want to opt for a tandem double buggy high-low stroller to ensure that they can get to know each other on outings. On the other the other hand, if you have a significant 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, look for a model that works with the top-rated car seat brands and has a high attachment score. This won't have as big impact on your overall rating as other metrics but it's an important factor to consider if you're planning on using adapters for car seats.
