Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller is an ideal way for parents to transport multiple children. The best models are easy to fold and carry and fit nicely inside a trunk of a car, and provide a variety of seating arrangements for children of various ages.

If your children are similar in age, you might decide that a sit-and stand or side-byside style is the best way to avoid fighting between siblings over the best seat to use. We also like the options that allow two infant car seats, such as the UPPAbaby v2 double.

Comfort

It is essential that your toddler and baby are both comfortable in the stroller. Choose a stroller with padded seats and swiveling wheels at the front to smooth road bumps. Also, pick one that has buckles that are easily removed and fastened.

You can also look for a large UPF 50+ canopy that offers sun protection as well as plenty of coverage for both kids. Adjustable footrests allow your child to stand in the back seat when they are exhausted. Some double strollers give this option to both children, like the Safety 1st model that is the top-selling model.

How many seats you choose in your stroller depends on the ages and weights of the children who are riding in it. A side-by-side baby stroller allows you to watch two children at a time it is ideal for twins or siblings of similar age. However, it's generally larger than other models and may be difficult to navigate in narrow spaces or in crowded areas.

On the other hand, a sit-and stand stroller gives older siblings the chance to stand while you push your younger child in the infant car seat. It's not the best option for babies, but it is useful for older children that can walk longer distances.

Another option is a convertible stroller which offers multiple seating arrangements and can be used as a single or double for a number of years. Rebecca says this kind of stroller is a good choice for parents who want to purchase one stroller, but plan to use it with two children. It's more expensive than the top tandem pick but it'll last for many years and has the best resale value she adds.

And if your stroller has an armrest, make sure it's adjustable to accommodate Moms and Dads of different heights.

A canopy is another essential feature that will protect your children from harsh sunlight or the harsh weather. The best canopy features a reversible flap or transparent plastic peek-a-boo windows to allow you to monitor your children without causing disturbance. Some canopies come with visors to block direct sunlight.

The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is an important factor to consider. Strollers that fold compactly when folded are more convenient to store and take up less space in the trunk of your car. Also, strollers that have a single hand-release button that folds the chassis are much easier to use.

When choosing a double stroller to buy, consider the age difference between your children and the kind of trip you intend to take with them. If your children are similar in age you may choose a tandem high/low stroller in order to let them interact when outings. On the other hand, if your children have a significant age difference then you may want to consider a side-byside model that offers them more privacy.

If you intend to use your stroller for baby car seats, choose one with a high attachment score and compatible with top-rated brands. This won't have as big impact on your overall rating as the other metrics but it's an important aspect to take into consideration if you're thinking of using adapters for car seats.
