Buying a Double Infant Stroller A double stroller is a convenient way for parents to transport multiple children. The most effective models are easy to fold, carry and store into the trunk of a car. They also offer different seating arrangements for children of various ages. If your children are similar in age, you could find that a sit-and-stand or side-by-side style is the best method to avoid fighting between siblings over the best seat to use. We also like options which accept two infant car seats such as the UPPAbaby v2 double. Comfort A stroller that is comfortable is essential for your toddler and baby. Pick one with cushioned seats, a large base and swiveling front wheels to smooth bumps in the road, and buckles that are easy to secure and remove. Look for a large, UPF 50+ canopy that provides sun protection for both children and adults. Another feature that is comfortable is the adjustable footrests that let your child sit up in the back seat when they get tired. Some double strollers, such as the most popular model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children. The number of seats you select in your stroller is contingent on the ages and weights of the kids that are using it. For instance, a side-by-side stroller lets you keep an eye on both children simultaneously which is perfect for twins or siblings close in age. However, it's generally larger than other types and may be difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces or in areas with a lot of people. On the other hand, a stand-and-sit stroller allows older siblings to stand while you push the younger one in an infant car seat. It's not ideal for newborns but it's an ideal choice when your kids are around three years old and able to walk for longer distances. Another alternative is a convertible stroller, that has multiple seating options and can be used as a double or a single for a long time. Rebecca says this kind of stroller is a good option for parents who wish to purchase one stroller, but are planning to use it with two kids. It's more expensive than the top tandem model but it'll last for many years 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.

This flexibility can make double strollers work for as long as you want it to.

Simple of Storage Double strollers must be able to carry diaper bags, water bottles snacks, toys, and jackets for children, as well as parents' wallets, keys phones, and other items. They should also be able to glide across various surfaces and maneuver into tight spaces. When not in use they often have to fit into the trunk of a vehicle. To meet these needs Double strollers are constructed in a variety of designs. They can be tandem or side-byside with fixed or removable seats or even be outfitted with infant car seats and a riding board. They can also be designed to fit one toddler or infant or twins. Some are made for running, while others can be used on beaches or on trails for hiking. Modular designs are especially useful for families who want to expand their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle for instance allows parents to mix and match seat units, cots, and car seats to let the stroller fit all the family members from infant to toddlerhood. Other modular double strollers like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double can be modified to accommodate one child with the use of the bassinet or baby seat or for a toddler using an elevated board or jump seat (sold separately).

If your stroller has a handlebar, ensure it is adjustable so that both parents can use it. A canopy can shield your baby from harsh sunlight and harsh weather. The best canopy features a reversible flap or transparent plastic windows that peek-a-boo to let you monitor your children without causing disturbance. Some canopies come with visors to block the direct sun. Another important metric to consider is how easily the stroller folds and unfolds. Strollers that fold compactly when folded are more convenient to store and take less space in the trunk of your car. Also, strollers with a single hand-release button that folds the chassis much easier to use. When deciding on a double stroller to buy, consider the age difference between your children as well as the type of trip you intend to take the strollers on. For instance, if you're children are similar in age it is possible to opt for a tandem high-low stroller so that they can get to know each other on outings. On the other the other hand, if you have a significant age gap then you may want to consider a side-by-side model that gives them more privacy. If you're planning on using your stroller with baby car seats, search for a model that integrates with the top-rated car seat brands and has good attachment scores.
