A Double Car Seat Stroller Is a Must-Have For Twins Or Two Young Kids

A double car seat stroller is a must-have for twins or two young kids. The Joovy TwinRoo+ allows infant car seats to be positioned in either direction, and has the option of a sit-and-stand configuration for older children.

Another alternative is a baby jogger, that is perfect for parents who want to take their children on a running adventure. What stroller is the best for you?

Easy to Fold

The most reliable double strollers fold up easily no matter if you're trying to squeeze them into your car or through a narrow doorway. Most models come with an option lever that allows you to fold the base and flip the seat back. Some models also have a handle at the top of the stroller that enables you to lift and carry the whole thing, while some include a kickstand built into the design which holds the stroller up until you're ready to take it out again.

If you have twins, or plan to have additional children in the near future, a double stroller with two infant car seats as well as an add-on board is excellent option. The Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go is an extremely popular choice. It is compatible with all infant car seats and features stadium seating for both children to enjoy the sights. This model however, doesn't "snap" the car seats into the frame instead, you simply strap them into place using a strap net and the rim of the car seat rests on the edge of the frame.

Consider a stroller that has the rear and front wheels that lock to provide better control on terrain that is uneven. A three-position handle with padding provides the user with comfort and control and the tray for the parent includes two cup holders as well as a storage compartment that is covered. Certain models come with an basket that is larger and can hold even more gear.

For those who love the outdoors, a jogging stroller may be a better choice than a regular stroller, however it isn't easy to lift and carry around with no handle. Some strollers with a jogging feature a hook for attaching an infant car seat to give parents eight more months of walking time, but this is a risk for babies less than six months old and should be discussed with your pediatrician before attempting. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide Hauck Duett 2 Double Pushchair - Black Reversible Compact Double are light and feature convenient one-hand standing folds. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, that can accommodate two toddler seats or one child in the primary seating position is a fantastic choice for outdoor activities.

Sturdy

When families are on the go, a double stroller is an invaluable tool. It must be sturdy enough to withstand different surfaces, including suburban sidewalks and park trails. It is also necessary to be comfortable for both toddlers and infants who might want to explore and sit up. Ideally it should be able to accommodate different seating arrangements for children of different stages of development. It can also be easily tucked away in the trunk of your car.

This multi-functional tandem stroller from CYBEX can be used on various terrains. It includes a reclining seat for toddlers and is compatible with an infant car seat. Its built-in adjustable leg and foot rests help keep kids comfortable, while its spacious UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows provide both seats with plenty of sun protection. Children can take a ride in either of the seats or sit on the baby bouncer board. The harness buckles with no-rethread are among the easiest in our testing making it easy to get them into and out.

This double stroller is small and light despite being a two-person stroller. The stroller has a lot of storage space, including a huge cargo net underneath the seats as well as a big bag on top. The padded handlebars are a hit with parents, but the seat backs aren't fully fold into the flat position.

Another lightweight, barebones tandem stroller is this one from Kolcraft that weighs less than 23lbs and can carry children up to 40 lbs per seat (80 pounds in total). It comes with nice-sized pop-out canopy that provide real shade and include windows that peek out and a self-standing fold that has an adjustable strap for easy walking and 7-inch wheel locks that swivel, and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension for a smooth and comfortable ride.

This double stroller that is budget-friendly is the lightest that we've tested. It's a great choice for families who have two children of similar ages. It doesn't work with infant car seats but it can still fit two of the best-rated convertible carseats and has an ideal cup holder that can be used by both riders. The seats come with an easy-to-use harness that doesn't require rethreading. It's and easy to put on, and the ample undercarriage storage is easily accessible without disturbing your passengers.

Convenient Storage

The amount of storage that a stroller has is crucial, especially when you're hauling around two kids and their supplies. Some of our favorites such as the UPPAbaby V2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, come with plenty of storage, including an extra-large basket that can accommodate the kids' snacks as well as adult gear. The UPPAbaby's one-hand folding is easy and doesn't strain your back.

Other models such as the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller have less space, but they offer good flexibility for a reasonable price. This model is compatible with 23 different infant car seats and is able to hold every seat. It's a big advantage over other twin frames that simply put the car in place. They're not built to last for as long.

Many parents of twins choose a tandem model that can take care of both infant car seats simultaneously, but these strollers often cost a lot more than single strollers and have less life span as kids grow out of them. For a more budget-friendly option that will still work when your twins get bigger, look for an option that is designed to carry both car seats for children and comes with two canopy options and a convenient parent tray with cup holders.

It's important that your stroller is able to take the weight and the movement your children will be putting on, but you also want them to be seated comfortably. Our testers examined padding, shoulder strap adjustments that were easy to adjust, and buckles that didn't require more than one hand to operate. Some models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand, have reclining seats that let children rest comfortably. Others such as the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite and Graco Stadium Duo Tandem Double Pushchair - Black/Grey Duet, have seats with limited recline options.

Another aspect to consider is the number and location of sunshades. Certain models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot have two canopies that cover both seats, while others, such as the Joovy Caboose and Graco Duet are equipped with only one canopy, with windows that open for the rear passenger. This is a great option if your kids are more likely to fall asleep in the same place but it's important to remember that they'll only have only a small amount of coverage when the window is opened.

Confortable

The most important aspect of a stroller to consider is its ease of use. Choose an upholstered, sturdy seat that is big enough for both children and includes reclining positions. The canopy should be big enough to offer shade and there should be a parent tray with two cup holders. Other helpful features include locking front wheels and a parent organizer that comes with snacks and diaper bags.

The top double strollers for cars come with safety features that will make your child feel safe. Select a stroller with five-point harnesses that hold your child at the shoulders and hips, the most rigid parts of their body. This shifts the force of an accident away from the abdomen and into the seat, making this kind of restraint much safer than a simple lap belt.

You should also consider how the stroller will fit into your home. Most parents have a limited amount of storage space, so be sure that the stroller can fit in your trunk or closet before you purchase it. It is also important to measure any doorways you will have to traverse while the stroller is open. The standard doorways are between 30 and 36 inches wide, however some are narrower.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an excellent budget-friendly choice. It comes with two infant car seats and two toddler seats which can be placed either backward or forward. This model is comparable with some of the higher-end double strollers. However, it's cheaper for families that are growing. The one-hand fold and front foot brake make it easy to move around, while the cushioned 3-position handle is suitable for mom and dad. A convenient zippered compartment is under the large cargo basket for larger items. The swivels on the front and back come with suspensions to ensure a smooth ride in different terrains. In addition, the harness with no rethread makes it easy and quick to secure your children's seat belts. It is machine washable, and is easy to clean it off.
