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 children. The Joovy TwinRoo+ allows infant car seats facing either direction, and has the option of a sit-and-stand configuration for older children.

A baby jogger is another option for parents who want to take their children on a run journey. Which stroller is the best for you?

Easy to Fold

The most comfortable double strollers are simple to fold, whether trying to stow them in your car or stow them in a doorway. Most models come with an lever or button that flips the seat forward and folds it up for compact storage. Some models also have a handle on the top of the stroller that enables you to lift and carry the entire thing, while others come with a built-in kickstand that holds the folded stroller upright until you're ready to use it again.

A double stroller that is able to accommodate two infant car seats as well as an additional riding board is an excellent option if you're a parent of twins or plan to have more than one child in the near future. A popular option is the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, that can take all brands of infant car seats and features seating in a stadium so that both children can see the sights. This model doesn't "snap in" the car seats. Instead you use a strap net to anchor them. The frame rests against the frame.

Consider a stroller that has the rear and front wheels that lock to allow for better control on terrain that is uneven. The parent tray has two cup holders, a covered storage space, and a padded handle with three positions for comfort and control. Certain models come with an basket that is larger and can hold more gear.

A jogging stroller is a great option for those who love to go on outdoor adventures. However, it can be difficult to lift and carry without a designated handle. Some jogging strollers come with hooks to attach an infant car seat to give parents eight more months of walking time. However, this is a risk for infants under six months and should be discussed with your pediatrician before trying. BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie, and Thule Urban Glide 2 Double have lightweight folding systems that can be folded by using one hand. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is also a great option for outdoor activities. It can seat one child in the main seat, or two toddler seats that convert to a bassinet style seating.

Sturdy

When families are on the move, a double stroller can be an invaluable tool. It must be robust enough to be able to traverse all surfaces, from suburban sidewalks to park trails, and also comfortable for infants who might need to lay flat to toddlers who want to sit up and explore. Ideally it should be able to accommodate different seating arrangements for children of different stages of development. It will also fit nicely into the trunk of your car.

This versatile tandem stroller from CYBEX is a good option for tackling many types of terrain. It is compatible with one car seat for infants and has a reclining toddler seat. The footrests and leg rests are adjustable to ensure that children are in a comfortable position. Its UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows, as well as adjustable leg rests offer ample sun protection for both seats. The optional baby bouncer board allows children to ride in either of the seats or stand on it. The no-rethread harness buckles are among the most simple we've tested and make it simple to get them in and out.

This double stroller is compact and light despite being a two-person stroller. The stroller is packed with plenty of storage space, including a large cargo net underneath the seats and a large bag on the top. The padded handlebars are a hit with parents, however the seat backs aren't fully fold into the flat position.

Another barebones, lightweight double pushchair tandem stroller is this model from Kolcraft that weighs less than 23 lbs and can carry children up to 40 lbs per seat (80 lbs total). It comes with nice-sized pop-out canopy which provide shade and include peekaboo windows and a self-standing fold that has a carrying strap for easy moving around and a 7-inch wheel locks that swivel, and 10-inch back wheels with suspension for a smooth ride.

This low-cost double jogging stroller is the lightest we tested. It's a great choice for families with two children of similar age. It doesn't work with infant car seats, but it can still fit two of the best-rated convertible carseats, and it comes with a handy cup holder for both riders. The seats come with a no-rethread safety harness that is quick and easy to secure. They also have plenty of storage underneath the seat without disturbing passengers.

Convenient Storage

It's important to take into consideration the amount of storage strollers offer, particularly in the case of two children and their toys. Some of our top picks such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, offer plenty of storage space, including a huge basket that can be used to store both children's snacks and adult items. And the UPPAbaby's hassle-free fold with one hand ensures you don't have to strain your back when you're ready put it away.

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

Many parents of twins select a tandem model that is able to carry both infant car seats simultaneously However, these strollers typically cost a lot more than single strollers and have a shorter lifespan as kids become older. If you're looking for a cost-effective alternative, but one that will work even when your twins grow older, you should consider a vehicle that is designed to carry two car seats. It should have two canopy and a simple to use parent tray with cupholders.

While it's crucial to ensure your stroller is able to handle all the weight and motion that you'll be putting on it, you also want to ensure your kids can sit comfortably. Our test participants looked at padding, shoulder strap adjustments that were easy to adjust, and buckles that didn't need more than one hand to operate. Certain models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Evenflo Pivot Xpand have reclined seats, allowing children to relax in a comfy position. Others, like the Joovy Cabose Ultralight graphite or Graco Duet have seats with only a few reclining options.

The size and position of sunshades are important. Certain models, like the UPPAbaby Vista v2 or Evenflo Pivot have dual canopies to cover both seats. Others, like the Joovy Caboose or Graco Duet have a single canopy that has an opening for the rear passenger. This is useful in the event that your children are more likely to fall asleep in the same position, but it's worth remembering that they will only have minimal coverage when the window is open.

Comfortable

The most important thing to consider when choosing strollers is how comfortable it is to use. Look for a sturdy, well-padded 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 features to consider include the foot brake, locking front wheels and an organizer for parents that can be used to store diaper bags and snacks.

The top double car seat strollers include safety features to ensure your children are safe. Choose a model that has a 5-point safety harness that secures your child's shoulders as well as hips, which are among the most rigid parts on their body. This shifts the force of an accident away from the abdomen and towards the seat, making this kind of restraint more secure than a lap belt.

It's important to consider whether the stroller can fit into your home. Many parents have a limited amount of storage space, so be sure that the stroller can fit in your closet or trunk before you purchase it. You should also measure any doorways you will have to traverse when the stroller is in use. Doors that are standard size are between 30 and 36 inches wide, however some are wider.

If you're looking for a low-cost alternative this model is a good choice. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers flexible seating that can be used with two infant car seats as well as two toddler seats that can face either forward or backward. It's comparable to some of the more expensive double strollers. However, it's much more affordable for growing families. Its one-hand-activated fold and a front foot break make it easy to maneuver, while a padded 3-position handle is able to accommodate dad or mom. Under the large cargo basket is a handy rear zipper access compartment for larger items. The rear and front swivel wheels are equipped with suspension to provide smooth riding on various terrains. The no-rethread belt makes it easy to fasten your child's seatbelts. It can be washed in the washing machine, and easy to spot clean.
