Buying Guide For Double Strollers

A double stroller is a good investment when you have two kids of similar ages. These compact tandem strollers or versatile side-by-side buggies help you keep your eyes on both kids at the same time taking on the grocery store as well as the parks and other obstacles life throws at you.

Comfort

Comfort is a major factor to consider when shopping for a double-stroller. This can include both the seating arrangement and the overall size of the stroller which impacts ease of use and storage. "Parents must determine what the stroller weighs as well as its dimensions folded," says child development expert and mom Katie Billingsley of Fourth Trimester Postnatal Retreat. "They should also look at the options for recline and seat age ranges to ensure a good fit for their family."

A well-constructed double stroller will be sturdy enough to traverse various surfaces with ease, from urban sidewalks to parks trails and from infant car seats to toddler booster seats. It should have a variety of seating options for children of different stages of development, as well as comfort features such as a peek-a-boo window and adjustable canopy that protect children from the sun or rain.

Seating options are important for many families that will utilize double strollers from birth to childhood. "There are two main categories: in-line with one seat ahead of the other, and side-byside with seats next to each other," Billingsley explains. "Some parents prefer an in-line option for its sleek appearance and versatility, whereas others prefer a wagon-style double stroller to maximize space for bulky items or groceries."

Some products may offer different recline options--with one seat being almost flat, while the other is upright--this type of disparity is more prevalent in models that are in-line. Billingsley suggests choosing a model that has a nearly flat recline and leg rest adjustments for both seats. This will ensure that both children can lay down comfortably.

Then, she suggests choosing strollers with storage compartments that enable parents to quickly access snacks, toys and other personal belongings while on the go. She also recommends that it is helpful to find a stroller which comes with a parent console or organizer bag, that can be attached to the handlebars. This will help parents keep essentials close at hand.

Many of the top-rated double strollers can be expanded giving parents the ability to customize the setup depending on the needs of their family. For example, the Mockingbird Expandable is a highly-rated double stroller that can be used with a single seat as early as birth, and later converted to a Tandem Double Stroller (with an additional seat and bassinet) as the child gets older.

Safety

Double strollers must be able to support the weight of both the passengers as well as any additional cargo. Strollers should be able to move and push, especially when on rough terrain and in tight spaces. The best strollers feature ergonomic handlebars with adjustable heights to ensure that parents maintain a good form when pushing them. A no-rethread harness that makes the adjustment of seat belts quicker and easier is another great feature to look out for. Safety features include a sturdy brake system, as well as wheels that can glide across any surface.

Some parents choose an arrangement that allows both children to be able to see one another during family outings. This arrangement can help prevent sibling rivalries over who sits in which place however it's not foolproof. If the seats are placed at different heights, one child may be capable of punching or kicking the other on the course of a walk.

A tandem-style stroller is excellent option for parents with twins or siblings who are close in age. It lets parents observe both children at the same time. Double strollers are typically more spacious, and may not fit through some doors inside. Think about a stroller that is single-to-double buggy with carrycot that can be transformed from a single to double in various ways. Popular models include the CYBEX gazelle S.

Whether you choose a side-by-side or tandem-style stroller, be sure the product is certified by JPMA to meet strict safety standards. Pay attention to the maximum weight limit for each seat. Overstepping these limits can cause frame fatigue or other issues.

It's easy to get caught in the sound of bells and whistles, but it's important to keep in mind that strollers are in essence baby carriers that will be used for extended time. It must be easy to clean and maintain as well as comfortable for both the passengers. It should also have a an intuitive, familiar design that lets the person pushing it to easily maneuver it.

User-Friendliness

A double stroller should be simple to maneuver over different of terrains for families that are constantly on the move. Strollers with features such as windows that peek-a-boo, adjustable canopies and reliable brake systems are essential to ensure the safety of your children. But there are other factors that make them more convenient to use. A stroller should be small enough to fit into the trunk of your vehicle yet have plenty of storage space for food or other things. It is also essential to include thoughtful features, like a cup holder for one parent as well as consoles for parents and a snack tray. These will help make traveling with two children much more enjoyable.

In our tests, we assessed each stroller on the basis of its performance on different terrains, as well as its ability to maneuver through tight spaces. We also looked at how easy it was to fold the stroller and then unfold it as well as if a particular feature improved the overall functionality. A stroller without rethread straps is easy to adjust the seat belts. This can be a big attraction for parents who are constantly on the move, as it eliminates the need to rethread the harness.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double scored highly in this metric, as it offered an impressive range of seating options and accessories to accommodate families that are growing. The wagon-style double-stroller expands to accommodate a second seat, bassinet or even a toddler's riding board. This is ideal for tandem double stroller families that plan to spend long days on the road with multiple children of different age groups. It also glides smoothly across cobblestones, balls and pavements. It folds flat for simple storage in a trunk or closet. The design of this stroller is simple and easy to use which was well-loved by our tester Kerry. The sleek packaging with clearly marked sections as well as a the user's guide made it simple to assemble this stroller.

Stores

A double stroller can be able to hold twice as much as a single stroller so make sure you have plenty of storage space. You'll want a stroller that has enough storage space to hold the essentials for both children and parents like bottles as well as snacks, toys and diapers. Look for under-seat baskets as well as other pockets, and think about a stroller with an expanding cargo space that can carry heavy items such as lunch bags and diaper bags.

A good double stroller should be able to expand with your family. Billingsley states that certain models have the option of a bassinet attachment that can accommodate newborns. Some models have child seats that be able to grow with your child until they are ready to ride on the back. Some double strollers even permit a rider's board to allow older siblings to take part in the fun.

There are many different double strollers available. You can pick from high-performance models that are great for rough terrain, to affordable options that you can use every day. While shopping, read reviews and suggestions from families similar to yours to get a better idea of what to expect from the double stroller you pick.

Double strollers come in three different design formats including tandem, side-by-side and wagon-style. Side-by-side double pushchairs strollers offer the most versatility and are ideal for twins or children who are who are close to each other in age, Billingsley explains. Tandem double strollers, on the other hand, feature two seats that are placed close to each other and facing in opposite directions--a good option for kids of the same age, or for siblings who like to interact with one another. Tandem strollers are more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces, and are less likely to fit into doors.
