Buying Guide For Double Strollers

If you have two children who are close in age A cheap double pushchair stroller can be an invaluable investment. These narrow tandem buggies as well as versatile side by side buggies let you keep both children in sight while you shop and parks, as well as whatever else life can throw at you.

Comfort

Comfort is an important factor to take into consideration when buying a double-stroller. This includes the seating arrangement and overall size, which will have an impact on the ease of use and storage. "Parents should determine how much the stroller weighs as well as its dimensions when folded," says child development expert and mom Katie Billingsley of Fourth Trimester Postnatal Retreat. "They should also take a look at the seat recline options and age ranges to ensure a good fit for their family."

A quality double stroller should be durable enough to travel on different surfaces smoothly--from parks trails to suburban sidewalks, and from infant car seats to toddler booster seats. It should also provide flexible seating options for children of various ages and comfort features like windows that can be opened and closed to keep kids shielded from rain or sun.

For a majority of families, a double stroller is likely to be used from birth until the teen years, so it's essential to think about seating options. "There are two main categories: in-line with one seat ahead of the other, and side-byside with seats adjacent to each other," Billingsley explains. Some parents prefer the in-line model due to its sleek design and flexibility. Others like a wagon style double stroller for maximum space for grocery or bulky items.

In-line models tend to have this kind of difference. Some models might offer different recline options, with one seat being nearly flat, and the other one remaining fairly upright. Billingsley suggests selecting a product with a nearly flat recline and leg rests that can be adjusted for both seats, so that both children can lie back comfortably.

Finally, she advises to look for strollers that have storage compartments that will allow parents to easily access snacks, toys, and personal items while out and about. She also suggests that it is helpful to choose a stroller that includes a parent console or organizer bag attached on the handlebars. This will help parents keep essentials close to hand.

Some of the top-rated double strollers are expandable that allows parents to modify the configuration to meet the needs of their growing family. The Mockingbird Expandable, for instance is a highly rated double stroller which can be used from birth using a single seat, then transformed into a tandem (with two seats and a bassinet) when the child is older.

Safety

compact double buggy strollers should be able to handle the weight of two passengers and any additional cargo. Strollers should also be easy to maneuver and push, especially in tight spots and over challenging terrain. The best strollers feature ergonomic handlebars that can be adjusted in height to ensure that parents maintain a good form while pushing them. A harness that is not rethread which makes the adjustment of seat belts faster and easier, is another nice feature to look out for. Safety features include a robust brake system and wheels which slide over any surface.

Some parents choose a side-by-side design that allows both children to see each other on family outings. This arrangement can prevent sibling fights over which child is allowed to sit in which spot, but it's not foolproof. If the seats are positioned at different levels, one child might be capable of punching or kicking the other on a walk.

If you have twins or siblings who are close in age, a tandem-style stroller can be beneficial in being able see both children at the same time. However, they can be more spacious than other double strollers, and they might not fit through all interior doorways. You could consider a single-to-double stroller that can be transformed twin buggy from birth a single to a double in a variety ways. The most popular models are the CYBEX gazelle S.

Whether you choose a side-by-side or tandem stroller, make sure that the stroller is JPMA-certified to meet the strictest safety standards. Also pay attention to the maximum weight limits for each seat, since exceeding them can lead to frame fatigue or other issues.

It's easy to be swept up in the bells and whistles, however it's important to remember that strollers are basically baby carriers that are used for extended times. It must be comfortable for both passengers and easy to clean and maintain, and in the ideal case, it should offer an intuitive, familiar design so that the person pushing it is able to effortlessly move it around without having to think twice about how to move forward, turn left or right, or even apply the brakes.

Features like adjustable canopies windows, peek-aboo windows, and dependable braking systems are critical to help ensure your children's safety, however, there are other elements that contribute to stroller ease of use. A stroller should be small enough to fit in the trunk of your vehicle and still provide plenty of storage space for groceries or other items. Additionally, you should consider thoughtful features like a one-parent cup holder, Lightweight twin Buggy parent consoles and an eating tray for children -- all terrain double buggy things that can make life with two kids much easier.

During our testing we evaluated each stroller based on its performance on different terrains and its ability to maneuver in tight spaces. We also looked at how easy it was to fold the stroller and then unfold it as well as if a particular feature improved the overall functionality. A stroller that does not have rethread straps makes it simple to adjust the seat belts. This is a major attraction for parents who are always in motion, as it does away with the need to rethread their harness.

The UPPAbaby v2 Double scored highly in this metric as it had a wide variety of seating configurations and additional accessories to accommodate growing families. The double-stroller that looks like a wagon can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat, a bassinet, or even a toddler-riding board.

Ideally, you'll want a stroller that can accommodate the essentials for both kids--nappies, bottles, snacks and toys, in addition to parents' belongings like phones, wallets keys, wallets and phones. Look for under-seat baskets and other pockets, and look into a stroller with an expanding cargo area that can carry bulky items like lunch bags and diaper bags.

A good double stroller must be able to change as your family expands. For example certain models have the bassinet attachment, which can be used for newborns, and others come with child seats that can grow with your children until they're ready to ride on the back of the stroller, Billingsley says. Some double strollers also allow for a rider board to allow older siblings to take part in the fun.

Double strollers are available in three different models: tandem, side by side and wagon-style. Side-by-side double strollers provide the most flexibility and are perfect for twins or children similar to each other in age, Billingsley explains. Tandem double strollers come with two seats that are set in tandem with the opposite direction facing. This is a great option for children who are the same age, or siblings who like to interact with each other. Tandem strollers can be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces, and are less likely to fit through doorways than their side-byside counterparts.
