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

A double car seat stroller is essential for twins or two toddlers. One alternative, the Joovy TwinRoo+, allows infant car seats to face either direction and comes with a sit-and stand configuration for older kids.

Another option is a baby jogger which is ideal for parents who want to take their children on a running adventure. What stroller is best for you?

Easy to Fold

The most comfortable double pram buggy strollers are simple to fold, whether you're trying to stow them in your car or stow them into the doorway. The majority of models come with a lever that allows you to fold the base and flip the seat back. Some also include a handle on the top of the stroller that allows you to lift and carry the entire thing, while some include a kickstand built into the design that keeps the stroller folded up until you're ready to use it again.

If you have twins or plan to have additional children in the future, a double stroller that includes two infant car seats and an add-on board is a great choice. A popular option is the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, which is able to accept all types of infant car seats. It also has seats that are stadium-style so that both kids are able to see the sights. This model does not "snap into" the car seats. Instead you utilize a strap net to secure the seats. The edge of the seat is set against the frame.

If you want to go shopping or walk on the sidewalks of a city take a look at a stroller with front and rear wheels that lock for better maneuverability over uneven terrain. A three-position handle that is cushioned provides comfort and control and the parent tray has two cup holders and a covered storage compartment. Certain models come with bigger baskets which can hold more gear.

A jogging stroller is a great option for outdoor enthusiasts. However it can be a challenge to lift and carry without a designated handle. Some jogging strollers come with hooks that can be used to connect to a car seat for infants, that can provide parents with up to eight months of time to walk. However, this can be dangerous for babies who are younger than six months. You should discuss it with your doctor first. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 2 Double are lightweight and have convenient one-hand, standing folds. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is also a great choice for outdoor activities. It is able to be used to seat one child in the main seat or two toddler seats that can be converted to bassinet-style seating.

Sturdy

When families are on the go, a double stroller can be an indispensable tool. It must be robust enough to travel over all surfaces, from suburban sidewalks to park trails, and comfortable for infants that may need to lay flat to toddlers who want to sit up and explore. Ideally, it should be able of accommodating different seating arrangements for children at different ages. It will also fit nicely into the trunk of your vehicle.

This versatile tandem stroller made by CYBEX can be used on various terrains. It accepts one infant car seat and includes a reclining toddler seat. The adjustable leg and footrests ensure that children are in a comfortable position. Its UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows and adjustable leg rests provide ample sun protection for both seats. Kids can ride in either of the seats or take turns standing on the baby bouncer board. The buckles with no-rethread were among the easiest to use in our tests, making it easy to get into and out.

This double stroller is small and lightweight despite being a two-person stroller. It also has plenty of storage, including a huge cargo net under the seats and a large basket on the top. The cushioned handlebars are popular with parents, however the seat backs don't fully collapse into an upright position.

Another barebones, lightweight tandem stroller is this one from Kolcraft, which weighs less than 23lbs and can hold kids up to 40 pounds per seat (80 lbs total). It comes with nice-sized pop-out canopy that offer shade and include windows that peek out and a self-standing fold that has an adjustable strap for easy moving around, and 7-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels that have suspension to ensure a smooth ride.

This budget-friendly double stroller is the lightest frame we've have tested, and is a great option for families with two babies of similar ages. It doesn't work with infant car seats, however, it will fit two of the best-rated convertible car seats and comes with a handy cup holder for both riders. The seats come with a no-rethread harness that's quick and easy to secure and the ample storage under the car is easily accessible without disturbing your passengers.

Convenient Storage

The amount of storage space a stroller offers is important particularly when you're carrying around two kids and their toys. Some of our favorite strollers have plenty of storage. They include an extra-large basket which can hold both adult gear and children's snacks. The UPPAbaby's one-hand folding is easy and doesn't cause back pain.

Other models such as the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller have less space, but provide decent flexibility at a low cost. This model is compatible with 23 different infant car seats and cradles every seat. It's a big advantage over other twin frames that simply strap the car into the car. They aren't built to last as long.

Many parents of twins choose a tandem model that can handle both infant car seats at the same time however, these strollers usually cost more than single to double stroller strollers and have less life span as kids grow out of them. If you're looking for a low-cost option that will still work when your twins grow older, you should consider a stroller that can carry two car seats. It should come with two canopy and a simple to use parent tray with cupholders.

While it's important to ensure that your stroller can handle all the weight and motion you'll be placing on it, you also want to make sure your children can sit comfortably. Our testers examined padding, shoulder straps that were easy to adjust, and buckles that don't require more than one hand to operate. Certain models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Evenflo Pivot Xpand have reclined seats that allow children to relax in a comfy position. Others, like the Joovy Cabose Ultralight Graphite and Graco Duet have seats with only a few reclining options.

The size and position of sunshades are important. Some models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 or Evenflo Pivot have two canopies that cover both seats. Others, such as the Joovy Caboose or Graco Duet have a single canopy that has windows for the rear passenger. This is a great option if your kids are more likely to fall asleep in the same spot, but it's worth remembering that they'll only have limited coverage when the window is open.

Confortable

The most important thing about a stroller to think about is its comfort. Find a seat that is spacious enough to accommodate both children and includes recline positions. The canopy should provide enough shade, and the tray for parents should have two cup holders. Other features that are useful include a foot brake, locking front wheels, and a parent organizer that can hold snacks and diaper bags.

The top double strollers for cars also include safety features to help your child feel safe. Select a stroller with 5-point harness that secures your child at the hips and shoulders, which are the most rigid parts of their body. This shifts the force of an accident away from the abdomen and into the seat, making this type of restraint much safer than a lap belt.

It's also a good idea to consider whether the stroller can fit into your home. Most parents have a limited amount of storage space, so ensure that the stroller can fit in your trunk or closet before you purchase it. It is also important to take measurements of any doors you need to pass through when the stroller is in use. The standard doorways are 30 to 36 inches wide, but some are a bit narrower.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a budget-friendly option. It comes with two infant car seats and two modified toddler seats that can be placed either backward or forward. This model is comparable with some of the higher-end double strollers. However, it's more affordable for families with growing children. Its one-hand-activated fold and a front foot break allow for easy maneuvering, while a padded 3-position handle can be used by dad or mom. Located beneath the oversized cargo basket is a practical rear zipper access compartment for larger items. The front and rear swivel wheels are equipped with suspension to ensure smooth riding on various terrains. Additionally, the harness that is not rethread allows you to quickly and easily to secure your children's seat belts. It's machine washable and it's easy to spot-clean.
