Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A smallest double buggy stroller gives parents with multiple children a comfortable way to get their children around. The best models are reasonably lightweight and easy to fold and carry and fit nicely in a car trunk and offer versatile seating arrangements for children of various age groups.

If your children are similar in age, you might find that a sit-and-stand or side-by-side design is the best way to avoid fighting between siblings over which seat to choose. We also like the options that accept two infant car seats, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double.

Comfort

A stroller that is comfortable and safe for your toddler and baby. Select a stroller with comfortable seats and swiveling tires at the front to smooth out road bumps. Also, pick one with buckles that are easily fastened and unfastened.

You can also look for a generous, UPF 50+ canopy that provides sun protection and ample coverage for both kids. Another comfort feature is adjustable footrests that let your child sit up in the back of the seat when they are tired. Some double strollers provide this feature for both children, such as the Safety 1st model that is the best seller.

The number of seats you select in your stroller will depend on the ages and weights of the children riding in it. A side-byside baby stroller allows you to monitor two children at once, making it ideal for twins or siblings of a similar age. It's larger than other models and may be difficult to maneuver through crowded or narrow areas.

A sit-and-stand pram allows older siblings to stand while you push a smaller child in an infant car-seat. It's not the ideal choice for newborns but can be beneficial for older children who can walk for longer distances.

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

Simple to Use

A double stroller can be an expensive investment. Parents are therefore looking for models that are simple to use. It should have a variety of features like the possibility of folding the stroller into a compact size and adjust the handlebar height to accommodate different users. Certain models have multiple storage compartments that allow families to separate belongings for easy access. They also come with parent consoles and organizer bags to keep keys, phones, and other essentials at fingertips.

A stroller should be able adapt to the changing needs of your family over time. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double, for example, is a budget-friendly stroller with an adjustable system. This allows you to add a second seat, transform the stroller into a triple using a board, or switch it to a single mode by adding a bench at the rear. This allows double strollers to last for as long as is required.

Easy of Storage

Double strollers must be able to accommodate diaper bags and water bottles snacks, toys, and jackets for children, as well as parents' wallets, keys phones, and other items. They should also be able glide over different surfaces, and maneuver in tight places. They often need to be able to fit in the trunk of a car, therefore they must be easy to fold up and compact when not in use.

Double strollers come in a variety of styles to meet your needs. They can be side-by-side or tandem, with fixed or removable seats or a baby car seats and a rideboard. They can also be designed to accommodate a single toddler or newborn, or twins. Some are made for jogging while others can be used at the beach or on trails for hiking.

Modular designs are especially useful for families who want to grow with their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle S for instance is designed to allow parents to mix and match seat units, cot attachments, and car seats so that the stroller is able to serve the family from birth until toddlerhood.

Other double strollers that are modular, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 double infant strollers (Visit Question Ksa) can be adapted to one child with the use of the bassinet or baby seat or for a toddler using an elevated board or jump seat (sold separately). The versatile UPPAbaby can be configured in a variety of ways, making it suitable for twins and siblings, or for a growing family.

The UPPAbaby is also known for its green initiatives, and it is a proponent of sustainability. The UPPAbaby is available in a variety of colors, and its materials are made from recycled water bottles. Raul, one of our testers, used the double stroller for testing with his five-month-old son and three-year-old daughter. He found it easy to take the parts out and assemble them because they were packaged neatly with instructions and video codes.

The UPPAbaby also comes with a telescoping handlebar and brakes that operate with your thumb. The swiveling wheels at the front can help it make more precise turns on city sidewalks.

Safety

Double strollers are often accused of being cumbersome and difficult to maneuver. They're also heavy. However, the latest models are sleeker and provide a variety of customization options. You might even find one that will fit your infant car seat, making it even easier to get out and about with two children in tow.

Whether you're looking for a side-by-side or in-line double stroller, make sure it's JPMA certified to ensure it complies with minimum safety standards and undergoes regular inspections. Also, you should choose a suspension system that provides a smooth ride and doesn't cause bumps or jostling for the little ones in the front seat. If your stroller has an adjustable handlebar, make sure it's adjustable to ensure both parents can use it.

A canopy is an additional feature that will protect your children from the harsh sun or inclement weather. The best canopy features an reversible window or transparent plastic peek-aboo which lets you observe your child without disturbing them. Certain canopies come with visors that block direct sunlight.

Another important metric to consider is how easy the stroller folds and unfolds. Compact strollers are much easier to store in the trunk of your car and take up less room. Also, strollers with a single hand-release button that folds the chassis much easier to use.

When deciding which double stroller take into consideration the age gap between your children as well as the type of excursion you plan to take with them. For example, if your children are in the same age range, you may want to choose a tandem high-low stroller to ensure that they can interact when outings are planned. On the other side, if your kids have a large age gap it is possible to choose a side-by-side model that gives them more privacy.

If you intend to use your stroller for baby car seats, select a model with a high attachment score and is compatible with top-rated brands. This won't have as big impact on your overall rating as the other factors, but it's an important aspect to take into consideration if you're thinking of using adapters for car seats.
