Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller gives parents of multiple kids an enjoyable way to take them around. The best double buggy strollers are simple to fold and transport, fit well in the trunk of a car and offer versatile seating arrangements for children of different age groups.

If your children are close in age, you may consider a sit-and-stand or side-byside style is the best way to avoid sibling fights over which seat to use. We also recommend options that accept two infant car seats, such as the UPPAbaby V2 Double.

Comfort

It is important that your toddler and baby are both comfortable in the stroller. Select a stroller with padded seats and swiveling wheels at the front to smooth out road bumps. Also, pick one with buckles that are easily fastened and unfastened.

Look for a large UPF 50+ canopy to provide sun protection for both children and adults. Another comfort feature is adjustable footrests, which allow your child to stand in the back seat if they are tired. Some double strollers provide this option to both children, including the Safety 1st model that is the most popular.

The number of seats in your stroller will be determined by the weight and age of the children using it. For instance, a side-by-side stroller allows you to keep an eye on two children simultaneously, so it's perfect for twins or siblings who are close in age. However, it's typically wider than other models and can be challenging to navigate in narrow spaces or in crowded areas.

Sit-and-stand prams allow older siblings to stand while you push a smaller child in the infant car seat. It's not a good choice for babies but it's a good fit when your children are about three years old and are able to walk for longer distances.

Another option is a convertible stroller which offers multiple seating arrangements and can be used as a thule double stroller or single for a number of years. Rebecca says that this kind of stroller is a great option for parents who wish to purchase a single stroller but want to use it with two kids. It's more expensive than the top tandem choice but it will last for many years and has an excellent 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 the other strollers we've tested, but it has a sleek, modern design and top-quality materials. It is compatible with UPPAbaby car seats and has a telescoping bar and easy-to press brakes. It also comes with tires filled with foam that will not wear out and a large storage basket.

Easy of Use

A double stroller isn't a cheap investment, so parents are usually looking for a model that's easy to use. This means a variety of features, from the ability to fold it up compactly to adjusting the handlebar height to accommodate different users, must be available. Some models have multiple storage compartments to allow families to separate belongings to make it easier to access. They also come with parent consoles and organizer bags to keep phones, keys and other essentials on the ready.

A stroller can be adjusted to your family's needs over the years, too. For instance, a cost-effective model like the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double includes an adjustable system that allows you to add another seat, convert it into a triple by using an incline board, or change to a single mode by using the rear bench. This allows a double stroller to last for as long as you need it.

When it comes to maneuverability, some side-by-side models struggle to turn on a dime, but many of our Lab testers were impressed by the ease of use and maneuverability of the inline Baby Jogger City Mini GT2.

Furthermore it's lightweight at only 18 pounds, and folds in half to create a sleek and compact package that's easy to carry and store. It is also easy to close and open using the latch, and requires no tools for assembling. Our Lab experts picked it as their top choice for its value, affordability, shopability and longevity.

Ease of Storage

Double strollers should be able hold diaper bags, water bottles and jackets, as well as the keys, wallets and phones of parents. They also need to be able to glide across various surfaces and maneuver into tight spaces. When not in use they are often required to fit into the trunk of a car.

Double strollers come in a variety of designs to meet the needs of parents. They can be tandem or side-by-side and can also have seats that are removable or fixed or come with infant car seats and a riding board. They can be made to fit a single infant or toddler or twins. Some are designed to be used for running while others are used at the beach or on trails for hiking.

The UPPAbaby also has a telescoping handlebar, and brakes that are operated by your thumb. The swiveling wheels on its front can help it make more precise turns on sidewalks in cities.

Safety

Double strollers are often accused of being heavy and difficult to maneuver. They're also bulky. However, the newest models are sleeker and offer many options for customization. You can even find one that fits your infant car seat making it more convenient to go out and about with two kids with you.

If you're in the market for a side-by-side or in-line double twin stroller with car seats, be sure it's JPMA certified to ensure that it meets the minimum safety standards and passes regular inspections. You should also choose suspension systems that provide an easy ride and doesn't create bumps or jostling for the little ones in the front seat. If your stroller comes with an adjustable handlebar, make sure it is adjustable so that both parents can use it.

A canopy is another essential feature that protects your babies from harsh sunlight or the harsh weather. The best canopy features an reversible window or transparent plastic peek-aboo that lets you watch your child's progress without disturbing them. Some canopies have visors that block direct sunlight.

Another important factor to consider is how easily the stroller folds and unfolds. Compact strollers are much easier to store in your car's trunk and take up less room. Also, strollers with only one button to release the hand that folds the chassis more user-friendly.

When choosing a double stroller, bear in mind the distance your children are in age and what kind of outings you plan on taking them on. For instance, if your kids are close in age, you may want to choose a tandem high-low stroller so that they can interact on outings. On the other the other hand, if you 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, look for a model that works with the top-rated car seat brands and has a high attachment score. This won't have as much of an impact on the overall rating as other indicators however it is important if you plan to use adapters for car seats.
