How to Find the Best Double Infant Strollers

If your children are toddlers or infants, you can get lots of benefits from a double stroller. How do you find the best one for your family?

In our testing, we've discovered that side-by-side double strollers go through narrow doors and can turn more easily than tandem strollers. They also allow you to set the seats to accommodate different seating configurations.

Versatile

If your children are infants or toddlers, double strollers can help you navigate your daily life. It's crucial to remember that the ideal double stroller for your family will be contingent on a myriad of factors such as the age of your child and stages and your budget.

In our tests, we discovered that double strollers are classified into three types of design such as tandem, side-by-side and wagon (the latter will be covered in an additional article). Tandem strollers are the most flexible, as they can be configured in various ways to suit different age groups and stages. Side-by-side strollers are ideal for babies who can stand up without assistance since they don't typically have support for infant car seats.

The most cost-effective and flexible strollers are those that work with numerous baby car seat brands. The UPPAbaby double, for example accepts the UPPAbaby Mesa and other brands through adapters. It can be outfitted with two bassinets as well as modified seats that can act as bassinets, allowing twins or multiple babies from birth up to four years old.

The Graco DuoGilder Click Connect is another option that is extremely versatile and can be used with either one or two infant car seats, in addition to two toddler seats and a riding scooter available separately. It is easy to fold and reconfigure, has an ample storage basket and it is comfortable for parents of all levels.

It's important to remember that even the most flexible double pram and pushchair strollers are typically heavier and bigger than single strollers, which means they can be a challenge to navigate and turn in tight spaces. This is why we searched for strollers that are easy to steer and turn at a whim, and move through door frames and other obstacles easily. Our top pick, Graco DuoGilder is one of the most maneuverable models given its size and cost.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double is the other most flexible double stroller that we have tested. It can accommodate two infant car seats of different brands, with the appropriate adapters, and can also accommodate another child in a modified seat, bassinet, or a child using a glider board. It can be used by babies from birth to five years old and is compatible with other Baby Jogger strollers.

Confortable

A small double stroller enough to fit in the trunk of most cars, making it a good choice for parents who need to leave the house quickly with kids in tow.
