Buying Guide For Double Strollers

A double stroller is a great investment if you have two children with similar age. These compact tandem buggies or flexible side by side buggies allow you to keep both children in the same place when you are navigating the aisles of your grocery store and parks, as well as whatever else life can throw at you.

Comfort

The comfort factor is one of the most important factors to consider when shopping for a double-stroller. This can include the seating arrangement as well as the overall size, which has an impact on the ease of use and storage. Katie Billingsley, a child expert in development from the Fourth Trimester Postnatal Retreat, advises parents to examine the stroller's weight as well as folded dimensions. "They should also look at the options for recline and seat age ranges to ensure a good fit for their family."

A reputable double stroller must be able to handle a variety of surfaces with ease including suburban sidewalks, parks and from toddler booster seats to infant car seats. It should also offer versatile seating arrangements for children of varying age groups and comfort features such as windows that can be opened and closed to keep kids shielded from rain or sun.

Seating options are crucial for many families who will utilize double strollers twin buggy from birth the time of birth until childhood. "There are two main categories - in-line with one seat in front of the other, and side-byside with seats that are next to each other," Billingsley explains. "Some parents prefer an in-line model due to its sleek appearance and versatility, while others prefer a wagon-style stroller to make the most space for bulky items or grocery bags."

While some products may have different recline options, with one seat almost flat while the other is upright, this type of distinction is more prevalent in in-line models. Billingsley recommends choosing a product that has an almost flat recline as well as leg rests that can be adjusted for both seats, so that the children can both lie back comfortably.

Then, she suggests to look for strollers that have storage compartments that will allow parents to easily access snacks, toys, and personal items while on the move. She suggests that it's beneficial to choose a stroller with a parent console or organizer bag attached to the handlebars, which can help keep essentials within reach.

Some of the top-rated double strollers are expandable that allows parents to modify the set-up based on the needs of their growing family. The Mockingbird Expandable, for instance is a highly-rated double stroller which can be used from birth with just one seat, and later converted into a tandem (with two seats and a bassinet) as the child grows older.
