Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller is a convenient method for parents to carry multiple children. The best models are reasonably lightweight and easy to fold and carry, fit well inside a trunk of a car, and provide a variety of seating arrangements for children of various ages.

Parents with children close in age may find a side-by-side or sit-and stand style is best to avoid sibling fights over who gets to ride in which seat. We also like options that can accommodate two infant car seats, such as the UPPAbaby v2 Double.

Comfort

It is crucial that your baby and toddler are both comfortable in the stroller. Select one with cushioned seats, a large base and swiveling front wheels to smooth bumps in the road, and buckles that are easy to secure and remove.

You could also consider a large, UPF 50+ canopy that provides sun protection as well as plenty of coverage for both children. Another comfort feature is adjustable footrests, which let your child stand up in the back of the seat when they are tired. Some double strollers, such as the most popular model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.

The number of seats you select in your stroller is contingent on the weights and ages of the kids that are using it. A side-byside baby stroller allows you to keep an eye on two children at a time it is ideal for twins or siblings of a similar age. However, it's generally wider than other models and can be difficult to navigate in narrow spaces or crowded areas.

A sit-and-stand pram allows older siblings to stand up while you push a smaller child in a car seat for infants. It's not the best option for infants, but it can be beneficial for older children who are able to walk longer distances.

A convertible twin stroller is a different alternative. It offers multiple seating configurations and can be used as a single or double. Rebecca says this type of stroller is an excellent option for parents who only want to purchase a single stroller but are planning to use it with two children. It's more expensive than the top tandem pick but it will last for many years and has the best resale value she says.

This stroller by UPPAbaby is a double stroller that converts into a single or a toddler-and-RumbleSeat configuration. It's not as compact as some of the other options we tested however, it comes with an elegant, modern design and top-quality materials. It is compatible with UPPAbaby car seats and has a telescoping bar and easy-to press brakes. It comes with wheels that are filled with foam that won't flatten and a huge storage bin.

User-Friendliness

A double stroller is an expensive investment. Parents are therefore looking for models that are easy to use. That means a broad range of features, ranging from the possibility of folding it down to adjusting the height of the handlebar to accommodate different users, must be readily available. Some models have more than one storage compartment to allow families to divide up belongings for quick access, and parent consoles or organizer bags to keep keys, phone and other necessities in reach.

A stroller should be able to adapt to the changing needs of your family as time goes by. Evenflo Pivot Xpand double infant Strollers, for instance is a budget-friendly stroller that includes a modular system. It allows you to add another seat, convert the stroller into a triple using the addition of a board, or change it to a single double stroller mode by adding a bench in the rear. This flexibility can make double strollers double work for as long as you need it to.

In terms of maneuverability, many side-by-side models are difficult to maneuver. However, our Lab testers were impressed with the ease of use and maneuverability of the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. This model is compatible with our top-rated car seats for infants and can be used by twins or children of various age groups. The telescoping handlebar as well as the simple-to-use brakes make it much easier to maneuver than many of the other double strollers we've tested.

On the other hand, the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double comes with an elegant design and a huge storage basket that can hold two toddler car seats or one infant car seat in addition to a regular child seat. It can also be used by any single child until the age of three. It provides a smooth ride due to its foam-filled tires that are designed not to go flat.

In addition to that, the UPPAbaby is lightweight at only 18 pounds and folds in half to create a sleek and compact package that's easy to transport and put away. It is also easy to open and close using the latch, and requires no tools to assemble. Our Lab experts selected it as the best choice for its value, affordability, shopability and longevity.

Ease of Storage

Double strollers should be able hold diaper bags as well as water bottles and jackets, as well as the keys, wallets and phones of parents. They should also be able to glide over different surfaces, and maneuver through tight spots. They are often required to fit in the trunk of a vehicle, so they should be easy to fold and compact when not in use.

double pram and pushchair strollers come in many different styles to meet these needs. They can be side-by-side or tandem and can also have fixed or removable seats, or be equipped with infant car seats and a riding board. They can be designed to accommodate a single newborn or toddler or twins. Some are suited for jogging, while others can be used on trails for hiking or at the beach.

Modular designs can be especially useful for families that have to expand their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle, for example allows parents to mix and blend seats, cots, and car seats to let the stroller serve the entire family from infant to toddlerhood.

Other modular double strollers such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 double pushchair with car seat, can be made to accommodate one child with the use of bassinet or baby seat, or a toddler with an elevated seat or a standing board (sold separately).

Safety

Double strollers are a bit of a bad reputation as cumbersome and difficult to maneuver, the latest generation of strollers are sleek and provide a variety of customization options. You might even find one that fits your car seat for infants making it easier to get out and about with two children with you.

If you're looking for a side-by-side or an in-line double stroller, make sure it's JPMA certified to ensure it complies with minimum safety standards and goes through regular inspections. You'll want to ensure that the suspension system gives a smooth ride for your children who are in the front seat. If your stroller is equipped with an armrest, make sure that it is adjustable to accommodate parents and dads of various heights.

A canopy is a crucial feature that protects your children from harsh sunlight or the harsh weather. The most effective canopies come with a reversible flap or transparent plastic windows that peek-a-boo that allows you to watch your children without causing disturbance. Some canopies have visors that block direct sunlight.

The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is another important aspect to take into consideration. Strollers that fold compactly when folded are more convenient to store and take less space in the trunk of your car. Strollers with only one button to fold the chassis are simpler to use.

When shopping for a double stroller, bear in mind the distance your children are and what type of outings you are planning to take them on. If your children are close in age you may choose a tandem high/low stroller in order to allow them to interact when outings. On the other hand, if your children have a large age gap, you might choose a side-by-side model that gives them more privacy.

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