Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller is a great way for parents to transport multiple children. The best travel double stroller strollers are easy to fold and carry, fit well inside a trunk of a car, and offer versatile seating arrangements for children of various ages.

If your children are close in age, you could find that a sit-and-stand or side-by-side design is the best method to avoid fighting between siblings over which seat to use. We also like options that can accommodate two infant car seats, such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 double buggy from birth.

Comfort

A comfortable stroller is key for both your baby and toddler. Choose a stroller with padded seats and swiveling wheels at the front to smooth out bumps on the road. Also, choose one with buckles that are easily unfastened and fastened.

Choose a big, UPF 50+ canopy to offer sun protection for both children and adults. Another feature that is comfortable is the adjustable footrests, which let your child sit up in the back of the seat when they get tired. Some double strollers, such as the top-selling model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.

The number of seats in the stroller will be contingent on the weight and age of the children using it. For instance, a side-by-side stroller lets you keep an eye on both kids simultaneously which is perfect for twins or siblings close in age. It's wider than other configurations and isn't easy to maneuver through crowded or narrow areas.

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

A convertible stroller is a different option. It has multiple seating options and can be used for years as a single or double. Rebecca says this type of stroller is a good option for parents who wish to purchase one lightweight twin stroller, but are planning to use it with two kids. It's more expensive than the top tandem choice but it will last for a long time and has a great resale price, she says.

This stroller by UPPAbaby is a double stroller that converts into a single or a toddler-and-RumbleSeat configuration. It is not as most compact double stroller as some other options but it does have a sleek design and high-quality material. It's compatible with UPPAbaby infant car seats, and has a telescoping handlebar and easy-to-press brakes. It also has foam-filled tires that aren't flat, and an ample storage basket.

Easy of Use

A double stroller can be an expensive purchase. Parents are therefore seeking models that are easy to use. That means a wide range of features, ranging from the ability to fold it up compactly to adjusting the height of the handlebar for different users, should be readily available. Some models come with multiple storage compartments to allow families to separate belongings to make them easy to access. They also include parent consoles and organizer bags that store keys, phones and other necessities on the ready.

A stroller should be able to adapt to the changing needs of your family throughout the years as well. For instance, a budget-friendly option such as the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double includes a modular system that allows you to add another seat, convert it to a triple with an incline board, or change to a single mode by using the rear bench. This flexibility lets double strollers to last for as long as it is needed.

In terms of maneuverability, some models aren't able to turn at a whim however, the majority of our Lab testers appreciated the ease-of-use and maneuverability of the inline Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. This model is compatible with all of our top-rated car seats for infants and can be used by twins or children of various ages. Its telescoping handles and easy-to-use brakes make it more maneuverable than other double strollers we tested.

On the other side the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double comes with sleek design and a large storage basket that can hold two toddler car seats or one infant car seat plus an ordinary child seat. It can also be used by a single child up to the age of three. It offers a smooth ride thanks to its foam-filled tires which are not designed to run flat.

The UPPAbaby folds in half, making it easy to store and transport. It's also very light at just 18 pounds. It's also simple to close and open using an latch, and needs no tools to put together. Our Lab experts picked it as the top pick for its affordability and shopability, as well as its longevity.

Ease of Storage

Double strollers should be able hold diaper bags jackets, water bottles, and other items, as well as keys, wallets and phones of parents. They should also be able to move over different surfaces and maneuver through tight spots. When not in use they usually have to be tucked into the trunk of a vehicle.

Double strollers are available in a variety of styles to meet these needs. They can be side-by-side or tandem with fixed or removable seats, or be equipped with infant car seats as well as a riding board. They can also be designed to accommodate a single toddler or newborn or twins. Some are designed for jogging while others can be utilized at the beach or on trails for hiking.

Modular designs are especially useful for families that need to grow with their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle, for example allows parents to mix and match seat units, cots, and car seats to make the stroller suitable for all the family members from infant to toddlerhood.

Other modular double strollers like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double can be converted to a single child by using baby seats or a bassinet or a toddler using a standing board or jump seat (sold separately). The UPPAbaby is a flexible stroller that can be set up in a variety of ways. It's great for twins, siblings or an expanding family.

The UPPAbaby is recognized for its green initiatives and its focus is on sustainability. The UPPAbaby comes in a wide range of colors and the fabrics 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. Raul says it was simple to disassemble and unpack because the components were neatly labeled boxes with instructions and a video code included.

The UPPAbaby also features a telescoping handlebar, and brakes controlled by your thumb. The swiveling front wheel will allow it to make precise turns on city sidewalks.

Safety

Double strollers are often criticized for being cumbersome and difficult to maneuver. They are also heavy. However, the newest models are sleeker and offer various options for customization. You will find one that can fit an infant car seat to make it easier to travel with two children.

Whether you're looking for a side-byside or in-line pushchair double stroller, ensure that it's JPMA certified to ensure that it meets the minimum safety standards and passes regular inspections. You'll want to make sure that the suspension system gives an easy ride for your children who are in the front seat. If your stroller comes with a handlebar, ensure it's adjustable so that both parents can use it.

A canopy is another essential feature that protects your children from harsh sunlight or the harsh weather. The best canopy features windows that can be reversible or a transparent plastic peek-aboo that lets you monitor your child without causing any disturbance. Some canopies also come with visors that block direct sunlight.

Another important factor to consider is how easily the stroller folds and unfolds. Strollers that are compact when folded are more convenient to store and take less space in the trunk of your car. Also, strollers that have a single hand-release button that folds the chassis are more user-friendly.

When choosing a double stroller, bear in mind how far your children are in age and what kind of outings you plan on taking them on. For instance, if you're children are similar in age it is possible to opt for an incline-to-low tandem stroller so that they can interact during outings. If your children are separated due to the age gap you can select one that gives them more privacy.

If you're going to be using your stroller with baby car seats, look for a model that integrates with top-rated car seats and has good attachment scores. This won't have as big impact on your overall rating as the other metrics but it's an important aspect to take into consideration if you're thinking of using adapters for car seats.
