Ten Double Infant Strollers That Really Change Your Life

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 store into the trunk of a car. They also have different seating arrangements for children of different ages.

If your children are close in age, you may decide that a sit n stand double stroller-and stand or side-by-side style is the best method to avoid sibling fights over the best seat to use. We also like options that accept two infant car seats, like the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double.

Comfort

A stroller that is comfortable is essential for your toddler and baby. Pick a stroller that has comfortable seats and swiveling tires on the front to smooth out bumps on the road. Also, pick one with buckles that can be easily removed and fastened.

You can also look for a large UPF 50+ canopy that offers sun protection and ample coverage for both children. Adjustable footrests allow your child to stand up in the rear seat when they are exhausted. Some double strollers give this option to both children, like the Safety 1st model that is the top-selling model.

How many seats you choose in your stroller is contingent on the weights and ages of the children who are that are using it. A side-byside baby stroller allows you to keep an eye on two children at once, making it ideal for twins or siblings of similar age. However, it's typically wider than other configurations and may be difficult to navigate in narrow spaces or in areas with a lot of people.

On the other hand, a sit-and stand stroller gives older siblings a chance to stand while you push the younger one in the infant car seat. It's not the best option for babies, but it is useful for older children who can walk longer distances.

Another alternative is a convertible stroller, which has multiple seating arrangements and can be used as a single or double for a long time. Rebecca says this kind of stroller is a great choice for parents who want to buy one stroller but plan to use it with two children. It's more expensive than the top tandem pick but it will last for an extended period of time and comes with a great resale price, she adds.

A stroller should be able to adapt to your family's needs over the years as well. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double, for instance is a budget-friendly stroller that includes an adjustable system. It lets you add a seat, transform the stroller into a triple using the addition of a board, or change to a single-mode by adding a bench in the rear. This flexibility allows a double stroller to last for as long as it is needed.

To meet these needs, double strollers can be constructed in a variety of designs. They can be side-byside or tandem, with fixed or removable seats or equipped with infant car seat and a ridingboard. They can be designed to accommodate a single infant or toddler or twins. Some are suited for jogging, while others can be used on hiking trails and at the beach.

Modular designs are especially beneficial for families who want to expand their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle S, for example is designed to allow parents to mix and match their seat units, cot attachments, and car seats so that the stroller can be used by the entire family from birth to toddlerhood.

Other double strollers that are modular, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double can be converted to a single child by using the bassinet or baby seat or for a toddler using a standing board or jump seat (sold separately). The versatile UPPAbaby can be set up in a variety of ways, making it ideal for twins or siblings, or even growing families.

Safety

double infant Strollers strollers are often criticized for being cumbersome and difficult to maneuver. They're also heavy. However, the newest models are sleeker and offer many options for customization. You may even find one that fits the car seat of your infant making it easier to get out and about with two children with you.

If you're looking for a side-by-side or an in-line double stroller, ensure that it's JPMA certified to ensure it meets minimum safety standards and goes through regular inspections. You'll want to ensure that the suspension system provides a smooth ride 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 is a crucial feature that can shield your children from the harsh sun or inclement weather. The best canopies come with windows that can be reversible or a transparent plastic peek-aboo that lets you observe your child without causing any disturbance. Some canopies also come with visors to block direct sun.

Another important metric to take into consideration is how easily the stroller folds and unfolds. Compact strollers are easier to store in the trunk of your car and take up less space. Also, strollers with a single hand-release button that folds the chassis much more convenient to use.

When you are shopping for a double stroller, bear in mind how far apart your children are in age and what kind of outings you are planning to take them on. If your children are similar in age, you could opt for a tandem stroller that is high/low to allow them to interact when outings. If your children are separated due to an age gap that is large, you may choose 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 is compatible with top-rated car seats and has high attachment scores. This won't have as significant an impact on the overall rating as other metrics but is still important if you plan to use adapters for car seats.
