Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller is an ideal method for parents to carry multiple children. The best models are easy to fold, carry and fit in a car trunk. They also have various seating arrangements for children of various ages.

If your children are similar in age, you might find that a sit-and-stand or side-by-side style is the best way to avoid fights between siblings over which seat to use. We also like options that accept two infant car seats such as the UPPAbaby V2 Double.

Comfort

A stroller that is comfortable is essential for both your toddler and baby. Pick a stroller that has cushioned seats and swiveling wheels at the front to smooth out road bumps. Also, select one that has buckles that can be easily fastened and unfastened.

Another feature that is comfortable is the adjustable footrests that let your child sit up in the back seat when they are tired. Some double strollers, such as the best-selling model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.

The number of seats you can put in your stroller will depend on the ages and weights of the kids who are riding in it.

However, it's generally wider than other configurations and can be difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces or in areas with a lot of people.

On the other hand, a sit-and-stand stroller gives older siblings a chance to stand while you push the baby in the infant car seat. It's not the ideal choice for infants, but it can be beneficial for older children who can walk longer distances.

Another option is a convertible stroller, that has multiple seating options and can be used as a double or single for several years. Rebecca says that this type of stroller would be an excellent option for parents who are planning to purchase one stroller and use it with both children. "It's more expensive than our top tandem choice but it will last for a long time, has great return value, and is extremely versatile," she says.

If your stroller has a handlebar, ensure it's adjustable to ensure both parents can use it.

A canopy can shield your child from harsh sunlight and inclement weather. The best canopies have the option of a reversible flap, or a clear plastic peek-a-boo window to allow you to monitor your children without causing disturbance. Certain canopies 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 easier to store and take less space in the trunk of your car. Strollers that come with one button to fold the chassis are easier to use.

When deciding on a double stroller take into consideration the age gap between your children and the kind of excursion you plan to take with them. For instance, if you're children are similar in age, you may want to consider an incline-to-low tandem stroller so that they can get to know each other during outings.

This won't have as big of an impact on your overall rating as the other factors, but it's an important factor to consider if you're planning on using adapters for car seats.
