Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller is a convenient way for parents to transport multiple children. The best models are reasonably lightweight and easy to fold and carry, fit well in a car trunk and provide a variety of seating arrangements for children of different age groups.

If your children are similar in age, you might consider a sit-and-stand or side-byside style is the best method to avoid fighting between siblings over the best seat to use. We also like options that can accommodate two infant car seats like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double.

Comfort

It is crucial that your toddler and baby are both at ease in the stroller. Select a stroller with padded seats and swiveling wheels at the front to smooth out road bumps. Also, choose one with buckles that are easily unfastened and fastened.

You can also search for an ample, UPF 50+ canopy that offers sun protection and ample coverage for both children. Another feature that is comfortable is the adjustable footrests that allow your child to stand in the back seat when they get tired. Some double strollers provide this feature to both children, including the Safety 1st model that is the most popular.

The number of seats you can put in your stroller depends on the ages and weights of the children riding in it. For instance, a side by side stroller allows you to keep an eye on both kids at the same time which is perfect for twins or siblings close in age. However, it's generally wider than other models and can be challenging to maneuver in tight spaces or in areas with a lot of people.

On the other hand, a sit-and-stand stroller allows older siblings to stand while you push your younger child in the infant car seat. It's not the best option for infants, but it can be suitable once your kiddos are around three years old and can walk for longer distances.

Another alternative is a convertible stroller, which offers multiple seating arrangements and can be used as a single or double for several years. Rebecca says this kind of stroller would be an ideal choice for parents who intend to purchase one stroller and use it with both children. It's more expensive than the top tandem model but it'll last for many years and has an excellent resale value, she says.

A canopy is an additional feature that will protect your children from the harsh sun or the harsh weather. The best canopy features an reversible window or transparent plastic peek-aboo that lets you observe your child without causing disturbance. Some canopies come with visors to block direct sunlight.

The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is another important factor to consider. Strollers that are compact when folded are easier to store and take less space in the trunk of your car. Also, strollers that have only one button to release the hand that folds the chassis are more user-friendly.

When deciding which double stroller to buy be aware of the age gap between your children and the kind of trip you intend to take with them.

On the other side, if your kids have a significant age gap, you might choose a side-byside model that offers them more privacy.
