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 children. One alternative is the Joovy TwinRoo+, allows infant car seats to face either direction and comes with a sit-and stand configuration for older children.

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

Easy to Fold

The best double travel buggy strollers fold easily regardless of whether you want to fit them into your car or in a narrow entrance. The majority of models come with an option lever that allows you to fold the base down and flip the seat back. Some models come with a handle at the top which you can use to lift the stroller and carry it, while other models have a built-in kickstand to hold the stroller when folded.

A double stroller that is able to accommodate two infant car seats and an add-on riding board is a great option if you have twins or plan to have more than one child in the future. The Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go is a popular option. It accepts all types of infant seats and has a stadium seating for both children to enjoy the sights. The model does not "snap into" the car seats. Instead you use a strap net to anchor them. The edge of the seat is set against the frame.

If you're planning to shop or walk on a city sidewalk take a look at a stroller with front and rear wheels that lock for more secure steering over uneven terrain. A padded three-position handle offers the user with comfort and control and the parent tray has two cup holders and a storage compartment that is covered. Some models have a larger large basket that can accommodate even more equipment.

A jogging-stroller is a good option for those who love to go on outdoor adventures. However it isn't easy to carry and lift without a designated handle. Some jogging strollers come with a hook for attaching an infant car seat, giving parents eight more months of walking time, however this is a risk for babies less than six months old and should be discussed with your pediatrician before making the decision to use. 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 option for outdoor activities. It can accommodate one child in the main seat or two toddler seats that convert to bassinet-style seating.

Sturdy

A double stroller is an invaluable tool for families on the move. It must be sturdy enough to stand up to various surfaces, like the suburban sidewalks and parks trails. It must also be comfortable for infants and toddlers, who might want to explore and sit up. Idealy, it should be able of accommodating different seating arrangements for children at different stages of development. It can also be easily tucked away in the trunk of your car.

This multi-functional tandem stroller from CYBEX is a great choice for all kinds of terrain. It comes with a reclining seat for toddlers and accepts an infant car seat. The adjustable leg and footrests ensure that children are in a comfortable position. Its generous UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows and adjustable leg rests provide ample sun protection for both seats. Kids can ride in either seat or take turns standing on the baby bouncer board. The buckles that do not require rethreading were among the most simple to use in our tests, making it simple to get in and out.

Despite being a double push chair stroller, this one is light and compact. It also has plenty of storage, including a large cargo net beneath the seats and a large basket on the top. Parents love the padded handlebars and the way that the seats recline, however some complain that the seat backs do not fully collapse to a completely flat position.

A similar lightweight, barebones tandem stroller is this model by Kolcraft that weighs less than 23lbs and can accommodate children up to 40 pounds per seat (80 lbs total). It features large pop-out canopies for real shade, peekaboo windows, and a self-standing folding mechanism with the ability to carry it for easy transport.

This budget-friendly double buggy stroller is the lightest frame that we've test, and it's a great option for families with two babies of similar ages. 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 of the riders. The seats have an unrethread safety harness that is quick and easy to secure. They also have ample storage under the seat without disturbing passengers.

Convenient Storage

The amount of storage a stroller has is crucial, especially when you're hauling 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 buggy for twins Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, offer plenty of storage, including a huge basket that can hold both snacks for children and adult items. Its simple, one-hand fold means 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 has less space, but provide decent flexibility for a reasonable price. This model is compatible with 23 different infant car seats and cradles every seat. This is a huge advantage over other twin frames which simply put the car in the frame. They're not built to last for as long.

Many parents of twins select tandem strollers that can handle both infant car seats simultaneously, but these strollers often cost more than single strollers and have shorter life spans as children become older. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option that can still function as your twins grow, look for an option that is designed to carry both child car seats and comes with two canopy options and a convenient parent tray with cup holders.

While it's crucial to ensure that your stroller is able to handle all the weight and motion you're going to be placing on it, you also need to ensure that your kids 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. Some models, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Evenflo Pivot Xpand come with reclining seats, which allow children to sleep in a comfortable position. Others, such as the Joovy Cabose Ultralight Graphite or Graco Duet have seats with only a few reclining options.

Another thing to think about is the number and position of sunshades. Some models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 or Evenflo Pivot have two canopy options that cover both seats. Others, such as the Joovy Caboose or Graco Duet have a single canopy that has a window for the rear passenger. This is a great option for parents who have children who are more likely to fall asleep in the same spot but it's important to remember that they'll only have limited coverage when the window is open.

Comfortable

The most important feature of strollers is the ease of use. Find a seat that is spacious enough for both children and includes recline positions. The canopy should be large enough to provide some shade and there should be a tray for parents with two cup holders. Other useful features include the foot brake, locking front wheels and a parent organizer that can be used to store snacks and diaper bags.

The best double strollers for cars also include safety features to help your child feel safe. Select a stroller that comes with a 5-point safety harness that holds your child's shoulders and hips - the most rigid areas of their body. This kind of harness is safer than a lap belt since it shifts the force from an accident into the seat.

It's important to consider how well the stroller will fit in your home. Most parents have a limited amount of storage space, so be sure that the stroller can fit in your closet or trunk before you buy it. Also, you should measure any doorways you will have to cross when the stroller is in use. Standard doorways are between 30 to 36 inches wide. However there are some that are a bit narrower.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a budget-friendly option. It comes with two infant car seats and two toddler seats that can be set either backward or forward. This model is comparable to some of the more expensive double strollers. But it's more affordable for growing families. The one-hand fold and front foot brake make it easy to maneuver, while the 3-position handle that is padded is ideal for mom or dad. A convenient zippered compartment is located beneath the large cargo basket for larger items. The front and rear swivels have suspension to provide smooth riding on various terrains. The belt is not rethread, making it easy to secure your child's seatbelts. It can be washed in the washing machine, and easy to spot clean.
