Buying a Double Infant Stroller A double stroller is a convenient option for parents to take multiple children. The best models are easy to fold, carry and place into a trunk of a car. They also have different seating arrangements for children of varying ages. If your children are similar in age, you could decide that a sit-and stand or side-byside style is the best way to avoid fights between siblings over which seat to choose. We also like options which accept two infant car seats, such as the UPPAbaby V2 double. Comfort A stroller that is comfortable and safe for both your baby and toddler. Select a stroller with padded seats and swiveling wheels at the front to smooth out road bumps. Also, choose one that has buckles that are easily fastened and unfastened. You can also search for a generous UPF 50+ canopy that offers sun protection as well as plenty of coverage for both children. Adjustable footrests allow your child to stand up in the rear seat when they're exhausted. Some double strollers give this feature for both children, like the Safety 1st model that is the most popular. The number of seats in your stroller will be determined by the weight and age of the children using it. A side-by-side baby stroller allows you to monitor two children at once, making it ideal for twins or siblings of a similar age. However, it's generally wider than other types and may be difficult to navigate in narrow spaces or in areas with a lot of people. On the other hand, a sit-and stand stroller gives older siblings a chance to stand while you push your younger child in the infant car seat. It's not the ideal choice for babies, but it is beneficial for older children who are able to walk longer distances. A convertible stroller is another option. It offers multiple seating options and can be used as a double or single. Rebecca says that this kind of stroller is an excellent option for parents who wish to buy one stroller but want to use it with two children. “It's more expensive than our top tandem choice, but it will last for a long time, offers a high potential for resales and is extremely versatile,” she says.

Some canopies also come with visors to block direct sun. The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is an important aspect to think about. Compact strollers are easier to store in your car's trunk and take up less space. Also, strollers that have only one button to release the hand that folds the chassis are more user-friendly. When choosing a double stroller, bear in mind how far apart your children are in age and what kind of excursions you are planning to take them on. For instance, if you're children are in the same age range, you may want to choose a tandem high-low stroller so that they can interact on outings. On the other side, if your kids have a significant age gap then you may want to consider a side-byside model that offers them more privacy. If you're planning on using your stroller with baby car seats, search for a model that is compatible with top-rated car seat brands and has good attachment scores.
