A Double Car Seat Stroller Is a Must-Have For Twins Or Two Young Kids

A double stroller with two car seats is essential for twins and young children. The Joovy TwinRoo+ allows infant car seats to be positioned in either way, and also has a stand-and-sit configuration for older children.

A baby jogger can be another option for parents who want to take their children on a run journey. But which stroller is right for you?

Easy to Fold

The most reliable double strollers fold effortlessly regardless of whether you want to fit them into your car or in a narrow entrance. Most models come with a lever or button that flips the seat back and folds up the base for storage in a compact space. Some models come with an upper handle that you can use to lift the stroller up and carry it around, while others have a built-in kickstand to hold the stroller when folded.

A double stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats and an additional riding board is a good option if you're a parent of twins or are planning to have more than one child in the future. The Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go is a popular option. It is compatible with all infant car seats and has a stadium seating for both children to enjoy the sights. This model does not "snap in" the car seats. Instead, you use a strap net to hold the seats. The edge of the seat is set against the frame.

Think about a stroller with front and rear wheels which lock to allow for better steering on uneven terrain. A three-position handle with padding provides the user with comfort and control and the parent tray comes with two cup holders and an enclosed storage compartment. Certain models come with an oversized basket that can hold even more gear.

A jogging stroller is a great option for those who love to go on outdoor adventures. However, it can be difficult to lift and carry without a designated handle. Some jogging strollers come with a hook to connect an infant car seat, that can provide parents with up to eight months of walking time. However, this can be a risk for babies less than six months old. You should discuss it with your pediatrician first. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 2 double pushchair are lightweight twin buggy and have convenient one-hand, standing folds. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, which can seat two toddlers or a child in the main seating position is a great option for outdoor activities.

Sturdy

When families are constantly on the move, a double pram stroller stroller can be an invaluable tool. It should be durable enough to be able to traverse all surfaces, from suburban sidewalks to trails in parks, and is comfortable for infants who might need to lie flat to toddlers who want to sit up and explore. It should be able to accommodate multiple seating arrangements for children of various age groups and fit comfortably in the trunk of your car.

Despite being a double, this stroller is lightweight and compact. It also has plenty of storage, including a large cargo net beneath the seats as well as a huge basket on top. The padding on the handlebars is popular with parents, but the seat backs aren't fully fold into an upright position.

A similar lightweight, barebones tandem stroller is this model from Kolcraft which weighs less than 23 lbs and can carry children up to 40 lbs per seat (80 pounds total).

Convenient Storage

The amount of storage a stroller provides is crucial, especially when you're hauling two children and their supplies. Some of our top picks such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, have plenty of storage space, including a huge basket that can accommodate the kids' snacks as well as adult items. The UPPAbaby's one hand folding is simple and won't burden your back.

Other models, like the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller, have less space, but provide decent flexibility for a reasonable cost. This model is compatible with 23 different infant carseats and cradles every seat. It's a big advantage over other twin frames that simply fix the car into the car. They're not built to last as long.

Many parents of twins select a tandem model that is able to take care of both infant car seats at once However, these strollers typically cost a lot more than single strollers and come with a shorter lifespan as kids become older. For a more budget-friendly option that will still work as your twins grow, look for a wagon that's designed to carry both car seats for children and features dual canopies and a parent tray that is convenient with cup holders.

While it's important to ensure that your stroller is capable of handling all the weight and movement you're going to be placing on it, you also want to make sure your children can sit comfortably. Our test participants looked at padding, shoulder straps that were simple to adjust, and buckles that didn't require more than one hand to operate. Certain models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Evenflo Pivot Xpand come with reclining seats, which allow children to snooze in comfort. Others, like the Joovy Cabose Ultralight Graphite and Graco Duet have seats with limited reclining options.

Another thing to think about is the location and number of sunshades. Certain models, like the UPPAbaby Vista v2 or Evenflo Pivot have two canopies that cover both seats. Others, such as the Joovy Caboose or Graco Duet have one canopy that includes windows for the rear passenger. This can be helpful if your kids tend to fall asleep in the same position however it is important to remember that they will only have limited coverage when the window is open.

Comfortable

The most important thing about the stroller you should consider is its comfort. Look for an area that is big enough for both children and has reclining positions. The canopy should provide adequate shade and the parent tray should have two cup holders. Other useful features include lockable front wheels and a parent organizer that comes with diaper bags and snacks.

The top double car seat strollers have safety features that will make your child feel safe. Pick a model that has five-point harnesses that hold your child's hips and shoulders, the most rigid parts of their body. This type of restraint is safer than a lap belt since it shifts the extreme forces from an accident away and into the seat.

You should also think about how the stroller will fit in your home. It is important to ensure that the stroller can fit in your trunk or closet before you buy it. It is also important to take measurements of the width of all doors which you'll be required to pass through with the stroller open. The standard doorways are between 30 and 36 inches wide. However some are wider.

Located beneath the oversized cargo basket is a practical rear zipper access compartment for larger items. The rear and front swivel wheels are equipped with suspension that ensures smooth riding on various terrains. The no-rethread belt makes it easy to secure your child's seatbelts.
