Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double buggy from birth stroller provides parents of multiple kids an enjoyable way to take their children around. The best models are reasonably lightweight and easy to fold and carry and fit nicely inside a trunk of a car, and have a variety of seating options for children of varying age groups.

Parents with children of a similar age may find that a side-by-side or sit-and-stand design is the best to avoid sibling fights about who is allowed to ride in which car seat. We also recommend options that accept two infant car seats, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double.

Comfort

A stroller that is comfortable is essential for your toddler and baby. Select one with padded seats, a wide base, and swivelling front wheels to smooth bumps in the road, and buckles that are simple to fasten and unfasten.

You can also search for an ample, UPF 50+ canopy that offers sun protection and plenty of coverage for both kids. Another feature that is comfortable is the adjustable footrests that let your child sit up in the back seat if they get tired. Some double strollers, like the best-selling model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.

The number of seats you can have in your twin umbrella stroller will depend on the weight and age of the children using it. A side-by-side baby stroller allows you to watch two children at a time it is ideal for twins or siblings of the same age. It's wider than other configurations and may be difficult to maneuver in crowded or narrow spaces.

Sit-and-stand strollers allow older siblings to stand up while you push a smaller child in the infant car seat. It's not the best option for infants, but it can be suitable when your children are about three years old and are able to walk longer distances.

A convertible stroller is another option. It has multiple seating configurations and can be used as a double or single. Rebecca says that this type of stroller is an excellent option for parents who plan to purchase a single 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 a great return value, and is extremely versatile," she says.

This stroller by UPPAbaby is a double infant Strollers stroller that converts into a single or a toddler-and-RumbleSeat configuration. It is not as compact as other options, but it features an elegant design and premium material. It's compatible with UPPAbaby infant car seats, and has a telescoping handlebar as well as brakes that are easy to press. It comes with foam-filled wheels that won't flatten and a large storage bin.

Easy of Use

A double stroller isn't an investment that is cheap, and parents often seek an option that is easy to use. It should come with a range of features, including the possibility of folding the stroller in a compact manner and adjust the handlebar height to accommodate different users. Some models have more than one storage compartment to allow families to split things up for easy access, and parent consoles or organizer bags to keep keys, phone and other items in reach.

A stroller can be adjusted to your family's needs over the years as well. For instance, a cost-effective option such as the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double includes an adjustable system that lets you add another seat, convert it into a triple using the rideboard, or change to a single mode with a rear bench. This flexibility allows a double stroller to last for as long as it is needed.

In terms of maneuverability and maneuverability, many side-by-side models are difficult to maneuver, however our Lab testers were impressed with the ease of use and maneuverability of the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. This model is compatible with our top-rated car seats for infants and can be used by twins or children of various ages. The telescoping handlebar and easy-to-use brakes make it more maneuverable than many of the other double strollers that we test.

On the other hand, the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double features an elegant design and a large storage basket that can fit two toddler car seats or one infant car seat in addition to an ordinary child seat. It can be used by a single child from age three. Its foam-filled tires are designed to last and not wear out.

In addition to that, the UPPAbaby is lightweight at only 18 pounds and folds in half for a sleek package that is easy to carry and store. It's also simple to open and close using an latch, and needs no tools for assembling. It was a top pick among our Lab experts due to its durability and shopability as well as its affordability.

Simple of Storage

Double strollers need to be able to hold diaper bags, water bottles and jackets, as well as the keys, wallets and phones of parents. They should also be able to glide over various surfaces and maneuver into tight spaces. They are often required to be able to fit in the trunk of a car, therefore they should be easy to fold up and compact when not being used.

Double strollers come in many different designs to meet the needs of parents. They can be side-byside or tandem with fixed or removable seats, or with an infant car seats and a riding board. They can also be designed to fit one toddler or infant, or twins. Some are suited for running, while others could be used for hiking trails and at the beach.

Modular designs are particularly useful for families who need to expand their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle S, for example is designed to permit parents to mix and match seat units, cot attachments and car seats, so that the stroller is able to serve the family from birth through toddlerhood.

Other double pram pushchair strollers that are modular like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double, can be made to accommodate one child by the use of bassinet or baby seat or a toddler's the option of a jumping seat or standing board (sold separately). The UPPAbaby is an adaptable stroller that can be configured in a variety of ways. It's ideal for twins, siblings, or an expanding family.

The UPPAbaby is also committed to sustainability and green initiatives. The UPPAbaby comes in a variety of colors, and its fabrics are made from recycled water bottles. In our testing, our test participant Raul used this double stroller with his three-year old daughter and five-month-old son. He says it was easy to take apart and assemble since the components were neatly labeled boxes with instructions and a video code included.

Another great characteristic of the UPPAbaby its telescoping handlebar as well as brakes that operate with one hand and can be operated using only your thumb. And its swiveling front wheels allow it to make tight turns on city sidewalks.

Safety

Double strollers are often criticized as being heavy and difficult to maneuver. They're also bulky. However, the most recent models are sleeker and come with many options for customization. You can find one that fits an infant car seat, making it easier to travel with two children.

If you're looking for a side-by-side or an in-line double stroller, ensure that it's JPMA certified to ensure it meets minimum safety standards and undergoes regular inspections. You'll also want to choose a suspension system that provides smooth riding and doesn't cause bumps or jolting for your little ones in the front seat. If your stroller is equipped with an armrest, make sure it's adjustable to fit parents and dads of various heights.

A canopy is another essential feature that can shield your children from the harsh sun or the harsh weather. The best canopy features windows that can be reversible or a transparent plastic peek-aboo that lets you watch your child's progress without causing disturbance. Some canopies also come with the ability to shade direct sunlight.

Another important metric to consider is how easy the stroller folds and unfolds. Compact strollers are easier to store in the trunk of your car and take up less room. Also, strollers with a single hand-release button that folds the chassis are much easier to use.

When deciding on a double stroller to buy take into consideration the age gap between your children as well as the type of trip you're planning to take the strollers on. If your children are close in age, you could opt for a tandem stroller that is high/low to let them interact on outings. On the other side, if your kids have a significant age gap it is possible to choose a side-byside model that offers them more privacy.

If you're going to be using your stroller with baby car seats, search for a model that integrates with top-rated car seat brands and has good attachment scores. This will not have as much of an impact on the overall rating as other factors however it is important if you plan to utilize car seat adapters.
