Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller offers parents of multiple kids an enjoyable way to take their children around. The best models are simple to fold, carry and fit into the trunk of a car. They also have different seating arrangements for children of various ages.

If your children are similar in age, you might consider a sit-and-stand or side-by-side style is the best method to avoid fighting between siblings over which seat to choose. We also like options which allow two infant car seats, such as the UPPAbaby V2 double.

Comfort

It is crucial that your toddler and baby are both comfortable in the stroller. Choose a stroller with comfortable seats and swiveling tires on the front to smooth out bumps on the road. Also, pick one with buckles that can be easily fastened and unfastened.

Find a large UPF 50+ canopy to provide sun protection for both children and adults. Another comfort feature is adjustable footrests, which let your child sit up in the back seat if they are tired. 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 in your stroller will depend on the weight and age of the children who will be using it. A side-by-side baby stroller allows you to watch two children at once which is ideal for twins or siblings of the same age. It's more spacious than other types of strollers and isn't easy to maneuver in tight or narrow areas.

On the other hand, a sit-and stand stroller allows older siblings to stand while you push the baby in an infant car seat. It's not a good choice for babies however, it could be an ideal choice when your kids are around three years old and are able to walk longer distances.

A convertible stroller is a different alternative. It offers multiple seating configurations and can be used as a double or single. Rebecca says that this type of stroller would be a good choice for parents who intend to buy one stroller and use it with both children. It's more expensive than the top tandem choice but it will last for a long time and has a great resale price, she adds.

If your stroller has a handlebar make sure it's adjustable so that both parents can use it.

A canopy is an additional feature that can shield your babies from harsh sunlight or inclement weather. The most effective canopies have windows that can be reversible or a transparent plastic peek-aboo which lets you watch your child's progress without causing disturbance. Some canopies have visors that block direct sunlight.

When choosing a double buggy newborn stroller, bear in mind how far your children are in age and what kind of excursions you are planning to take them on.
