Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double buggy travel system stroller gives parents with multiple children an enjoyable way to take their children around. The best strollers are easy to fold and carry, fit well inside a trunk of a car, and have a variety of seating options for children of various ages.

Parents of children who are close to age may find that a side by side or sit-and stand style is best to avoid sibling squabbles about who is allowed to ride in which car seat. We also recommend options that accept two infant car seat such as the UPPAbaby V2 double.

Comfort

A stroller that is comfortable and safe for both your toddler and baby. Pick a stroller that has cushioned seats and swiveling wheels at the front to smooth road bumps. Also, select one with buckles that are easily unfastened and fastened.

Choose a big, UPF 50+ canopy to offer sun protection for both children and their parents. Another feature that is comfortable is the adjustable footrests that let your child sit up in the back seat when they get tired. Some double strollers, like the most popular model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.

The number of seats you can have in your stroller will depend on the weight and age of the children who will be using it. For example, a side-by-side stroller lets you keep an eye on both kids simultaneously which is perfect for twins or siblings close in age. However, it's generally wider than other models and can be challenging to maneuver in tight spaces or in crowded areas.

Sit-and-stand strollers allow older siblings to stand up while you push a younger child in a car seat for infants. It's not the best choice for babies, but it is beneficial for older children that can walk longer distances.

Another alternative is a convertible stroller that has multiple seating options and can be used as a single or double for a long time. Rebecca says this type of stroller is a good choice for parents who want to buy one stroller but want to use it with two kids. "It's more expensive than our top tandem choice, but it will last for a long time, offers a high resale value and is incredibly versatile," she says.

A stroller can be adjusted to the needs of your family throughout the years as well. For instance, a budget-friendly option like the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double includes a modular system that allows you to add a second seat, convert it into a triple by using an incline board, or change to a single mode with a rear bench. This flexibility will let double strollers work for as long as you need it to.

They also need to be able to glide across different surfaces and maneuver in tight spaces. When not in use they usually have to be tucked into the trunk of a car.

Safety

Double strollers are often criticized as being cumbersome and difficult to maneuver. They are also heavy. However, the most recent models are sleeker and come with many options for customization. You can find one that fits an infant car seat to make it easier to travel with two children.

If you're in the market for a side-by-side or in-line double stroller, ensure that it's JPMA certified to ensure that it meets minimum safety standards and goes through regular inspections. You'll need to ensure that the suspension system gives an easy ride for your children in the front seat. If your stroller comes with a handlebar, ensure it's adjustable so that both parents can use it.

A canopy is another essential feature that protects your children from harsh sunlight or the harsh weather. The best canopy features an reversible flap as well as a transparent plastic peek-a-boo windows that allows you to watch your children without causing any disturbance to them. Some canopies also have visors to block direct sun.

The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is another important aspect to take into consideration. Strollers that fold compactly when folded are easier to store and take less space in the trunk of your car. Also, strollers with a single hand-release button that folds the chassis are more user-friendly.

When choosing a double stroller be aware of the age gap between your children and the type of trip you intend to take the twin strollers for newborns on. If your children are similar in age, you can opt for a tandem high/low stroller to allow them to be together on outings. If your children are separated by a large age gap, you may choose one that gives them more privacy.

If you're planning on using your stroller with baby car seats, search for a model that is compatible with the top-rated car seat brands and has good attachment scores. This will not have as much of an impact on the overall rating as other metrics but is still important if you plan to use adapters for car seats.
