Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller offers parents of multiple kids a comfortable way to get them around. The best models are lightweight and easy to fold and carry and fit nicely in a car trunk and have a variety of seating options for children of various age groups.

Parents with children of a similar age may find that a side by side or sit n stand double stroller-and-stand design is the best double stroller to avoid sibling squabbles about who is allowed to ride in which seat. We also like the options that accept two infant car seats like the UPPAbaby V2 double.

Comfort

It is essential that your toddler and baby are at ease in the stroller. Choose a stroller with cushioned seats and swiveling wheels on the front to smooth out bumps on the road. Also, choose one that has buckles that can be easily removed and fastened.

Look for a large UPF 50+ canopy to provide sun protection for both children and adults. Adjustable footrests allow your child to sit in the rear seat when they are tired. Some double strollers, like the top-selling model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.

The number of seats you select in your stroller depends on the ages and weights of the kids who are riding in it. For instance, a side by side stroller allows you to keep an eye on both kids at the same time, so it's perfect for twins or siblings that are close in age. It's larger than other models, and can be difficult to maneuver in crowded or narrow spaces.

A sit-and-stand pram allows older siblings to stand while you push a smaller child in an infant car-seat. It's not a good choice for babies, but it can be a good fit when your kids are around 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 double or single for a long time. Rebecca says this type of stroller is an excellent option for parents who wish to purchase one stroller, but are planning to use it with two children. It's more expensive than the top tandem model but it will last for many years and has the best resale value she says.

Ease of Storage

Double strollers must be able to carry diaper bags, water bottles snacks, toys, and jackets for kids as well as parents keys, wallets phones and other things. They also need to be able to glide across different surfaces and maneuver through tight spaces. They usually have to fit in the trunk of a vehicle, so they must be simple to fold and compact when not in use.

To meet the needs of parents Double strollers can be built in a wide range of styles. They can be tandem or side-by-side with fixed or removable seats, or with an infant car seat and a ridingboard. They can also be designed to fit one toddler or infant or twins. Some are designed to be used for running while others are utilized at the beach or on hiking trails.

Other double strollers that are modular like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double, can be adapted for one child with the use of bassinets or a baby seat or a toddler's a jump seat or a standing board (sold separately).

In our testing, our test participant Raul used this double stroller with his three-year old daughter and 5-month-old son. Raul says it was simple to disassemble and unpack because the components came in neatly labeled boxes, which had instructions and a video code.

Another amazing aspect of the UPPAbaby is its telescoping handlebar and brakes that operate with one hand and can be operated with only your thumb. The swiveling wheels at the front can aid in making tighter turns on city sidewalks.

Safety

You should also consider a suspension system that provides an easy ride and doesn't cause bumps, or jolting for your toddlers in the front seat.

A canopy is an additional feature that protects your children from the harsh sun or the harsh weather. The most effective canopies have an reversible window or clear plastic peek-aboo to let you monitor your child without disturbing them. Some canopies come with visors to block the direct sun.
