Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat

A double stroller that includes an infant car seat is essential for twins or two children with similar ages. If you plan to buy one, it's crucial to think about your budget and the length of time you're planning to use the stroller for.

Kate says she liked the fact that this stroller is lightweight and easy to maneuver. She also liked that it folds easily, although she found the magnetic buckles hard to fasten.

Size

Size is a crucial factor to consider when choosing a double stroller with car seats for your infant. The stroller should be small and slim enough that parents are able to effortlessly maneuver it on busy sidewalks or through narrow subway gates. The stroller must also be compact and easy to fold to fit into the trunk of a small vehicles.

If you plan on having twins or children close in age, think about purchasing a double stroller that has two seats that can accommodate infant car seats. These double strollers are more expensive, however, they last longer and can be used until toddlerhood or beyond. For example, our top pick the UPPAbaby Vista Double comes with a variety of seating configurations and can accept two infant car seats or toddler seats that can be converted into bassinets.

We also like strollers that can be used with different infant car seats, as this offers more models for families to choose from. The UPPAbaby Vista, for instance is compatible with the UPPAbaby mesha and other infant car seats that come with adapters. It also works with the Baby Jogger Glider Board to accommodate a third standing passenger.

Some parents purchase a single to double stroller (Dadiler.com), which can be adapted to accommodate another child. We recommend buying what you need now. You might have a second child arrive later than you anticipated, or your first child might not be able to walk. The type of seating you can use in a double stroller with an infant car seat could also affect the relationship between siblings, especially if they are close in age.

Weight

Double strollers tend to be heavier than single to double pushchair models. Double strollers have two seats, and carry more cargo. The weight of the stroller is therefore heavier. It is important to consider the weight when choosing your preferred model, especially in the event that you'll use it for long jogs or walks. The most efficient models are engineered to withstand the extra weight with a minimum of flexing or swaying.

It's also worth weighing the price of a double stroller in relation to its durability. The top models provide high-quality design and seating flexibility that suggests they'll last longer than less expensive models. The joovy double bundle is a good example. It accepts adapters for two infant car seats and can accommodate a third child via a bassinet which attaches. This arrangement is suitable for twins, children of different ages, or siblings that have an age gap.

Budget-conscious parents may find the Baby Trend Double Snap-N'Go an appealing option since it is compatible with two infant car seats and can convert into a tandem (single-file) stroller. It's light and compact making it easy to move around even with the additional weight.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another budget-friendly option. It's comparable to the more expensive award winners and supports multiple seating configurations for kids with different ages and stage. Its side-by-side seat design allows for twins or kids with varying ages. Additionally, it can be customised with accessories like dual canopy, twin bassinets or modified seats that act as toddler seats. This versatile stroller also has a relatively quick fold and a tiny footprint that makes it easy to be tucked away in the trunk. It's not designed to be used until children can sit up unassisted, however it is designed for babies who require assistance or positioned in a car seat.

Convenience

It is more convenient and less stressful take your family on a trip by transferring your infant's car seat effortlessly from the car to the stroller. Rather than attempting to fold the stroller while keeping one hand on the baby and the other on a toddler, you can simply click the seat in place and begin moving. This is a fantastic option for long journeys, especially when you don't want to unbuckle and then buckle your child every couple of minutes.

Parents with twins often choose a travel system that can accommodate two infant car seats at the same time. The Graco Fast Action Flip offers this capability, and includes a bench seat that can be used by older siblings. However, it's not compatible with all kinds of infant car seats, and it's too heavy for some families.

Some parents prefer a double-stroller that has an adapter for car seats that is integrated that works with all the major infant car safety seats. The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo is an excellent option and comes at a price that is very reasonable for what you get. While it's not the ideal double stroller for twins in the infant stage (it can only be used with one), it can work well for a wide range of families and is an excellent option if you're looking to make a purchase that is a one-and-done deal.

Other double strollers come with an even more complicated process for attaching and detaching the car seat. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double for instance, requires you to press down, and then hear an audible click to confirm it's properly secured. It's more difficult to use in parking lots especially in the case of hungry or exhausted children. And while it does grow with your family, we don't believe it's the best choice for parents with twins since you'll need an additional toddler seat once your kids are old enough for it.

Durability

A double stroller that includes an infant car seat should be built to last and have long-term use. It should also fit your lifestyle and budget, whether you intend to use it for few years or more. Be sure to consider the quality of the fabric and its components, including its tires, when you make your purchase.

A stroller that has a large and deep basket can hold plenty of diapers, groceries and other items. A large parent console with cup holders is useful, as well as a sun canopy which provides adequate coverage. Also, make sure the stroller is able to manage off-road terrain and narrow city sidewalks.

Parents of twins may choose an equilateral stroller to give the same level of visibility and accessibility to both children, while parents with children of different ages might choose a tandem model that allows the rear child to be raised or lowered. Tandem strollers are heavier than single strollers, and can cause siblings to fight, especially if they have seats that are different heights.

A stroller with an adjustable handlebar can help you adjust it to the appropriate height for you and a one-hand fold mechanism can be a convenient feature. Another feature to look out for is a compact footprint that fits easily in your trunk and requires minimal storage space.

A modular stroller, like the CYBEX Gazelle, offers unmatched flexibility. You can mix and combine the seating units and cots to accommodate twins, multiples or a single child of varying age. This high-end model's durable construction and flexibility in seating configurations makes it a worthwhile investment if you are planning to keep it for a number of years to come.

Safety

A good stroller is safe for the child sitting in the seat as well as for the parent pushing it. Certified child safety technician Alli Cavasino recommends looking for a stroller with ergonomic handlebars, brakes that are easy to use and a seat harness that can be adjusted. She also suggests avoiding any accessories that add weight of the stroller for children, like ride-on boards and additional child seats.

A double stroller must be sturdy enough to handle different surfaces including suburban sidewalks, park trails to paved roads. It should be robust enough to move over bumps and curbs with ease and also able to be adapted to maneuver over a steep incline or up and down stairways. Finally it should be easy to fold and fit into a trunk of a car without any compromise in size or mobility.

Parents of twins or children close in age may need to think about a stroller that can fit two car seats for infants. This allows them to transfer sleeping children from the car to the stroller without waking them up. Many of our top-scoring strollers work with two car seats for infants, including the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double.

The double bundle from Joovy is another alternative. It includes two infant car seats and an add-on rumble chair which can be turned into a second seat when your children outgrow the car seat. It comes with stadium seating that has plenty of legroom and can be configured so that your children can face each other or the entire world. It cannot accept two bassinets as well as an infant car seat, or a riding board simultaneously. However, it is a great option for families with several young children.
