Buying a Double Infant Stroller A double stroller provides parents of multiple kids an easy way to move them around. The best models are simple to fold, carry and place into the trunk of a car. They also provide flexible seating arrangements for kids of various ages. If your children are close in age, you could decide that a sit-and stand or side-byside style is the best way to avoid fights between siblings over which seat to choose. We also recommend options that allow two infant car seats such as the UPPAbaby V2 double. Comfort It is crucial that your baby and toddler are both at ease in the stroller. Choose a stroller with cushioned seats and swiveling wheels at the front to smooth road bumps. Also, choose one with buckles that can be easily fastened and unfastened. You could also consider a generous UPF 50+ canopy that provides sun protection as well as plenty of coverage for both kids. Adjustable footrests allow your child to sit in the rear seat if they're exhausted. Some double strollers give this feature to both children, such as the Safety 1st model that is the top-selling model. The number of seats you select in your stroller depends on the weights and ages of the children who are that are using it. For instance, a side by side stroller lets you keep an eye on both children at the same time which is perfect for twins or siblings that are close in age. It's wider than other configurations and may be difficult to maneuver in crowded or narrow spaces. A sit-and-stand pram allows older siblings to stand while you push a younger child in a car seat for infants. It's not the best option for infants but it's a good fit once your kiddos are around three years old and can walk longer distances. A convertible stroller is another alternative. It has multiple seating configurations and can be used as a single or double. Rebecca says this kind of stroller would be a good choice for parents who intend to purchase one stroller and use it with both children. “It's more expensive than our top tandem pick, but it will last a long time, offers a high potential for resales and is extremely versatile,” she says.

If you're shopping for a double stroller that can be used side-by-side or in line, ensure it is JPMA-certified to ensure it meets safety standards. It also has to pass regular inspections. You should also consider an adjustable suspension system that gives a smooth ride and doesn't cause bumps or jolting for your toddlers in the front seat. If your stroller comes with a handlebar make sure it is adjustable so that both parents can use it. A canopy is a crucial feature that will protect your babies from harsh sunlight or the harsh weather. The most effective canopies come with a reversible flap or transparent plastic windows that peek-a-boo to let you monitor your children without causing disturbance. Some canopies have visors to block direct sun. The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is an important factor to consider. Strollers that are compact when folded are more convenient to store and take up less space in the trunk of your car. Also, strollers with a single hand-release button that folds the chassis are much easier to use. When choosing a double stroller, bear in mind how far your children are and what kind of outings you are planning to take them on. For instance, if you're kids are close in age, you may want to choose a tandem high-low stroller so that they can interact on outings. If your children are separated by a large age gap you can select a model which allows them to enjoy more privacy. If you intend to use your stroller for baby car seats, choose one with a high attachment score and that is compatible with top-rated brands. This will not have as big an impact on the overall rating as other indicators but is still crucial if you intend to utilize car seat adapters.
