Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller offers parents of multiple kids an easy way to move their children around. The best strollers are lightweight and easy to fold and carry, fit well in the trunk of a car and offer versatile seating arrangements for children of varying age groups.

If your children are close in age, you could decide that a sit-and stand or side-by-side style is the best way to avoid fights between siblings over the best seat to use. We also like the options that allow two infant car seats, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double.

Comfort

A stroller that is comfortable and safe for both your toddler and baby. Select one with padded seats, a wide base and swiveling front wheels to smooth out bumps in the road and buckles that are easy to unfasten and fasten.

You could also consider an ample UPF 50+ canopy, which provides sun protection and plenty of coverage for both kids. Adjustable footrests allow your child to sit in the back seat when they're exhausted. Some double strollers, like the best-selling model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.

The number of seats in your stroller will depend on the weight and age of the children who will be using it. A side-byside baby stroller allows you to watch two children at the same time, making it ideal for twins or siblings of the same age. It's larger than other models and isn't easy to maneuver in crowded or narrow areas.

On the other hand, a stand-and-sit stroller gives older siblings the chance to stand while you push the younger one in the infant car seat. It's not a good choice for babies, but it can be a good fit when your kids are around three years old and are able to walk for longer distances.

A convertible stroller is an additional option. It has multiple seating configurations and can be used as a single or double. Rebecca says that this type of stroller is an excellent option for parents who intend to purchase one stroller and use it with both children. It's more expensive than the top tandem choice but it'll last for an extended period of time and comes with the best resale value she adds.

This stroller by UPPAbaby is a double stroller that converts into a single or a toddler-and-RumbleSeat configuration. It's not as compact as some of the other options we tested however, it comes with an elegant, modern design and high-quality materials. It's compatible with UPPAbaby infant car seats, and comes with a telescoping handlebar as well as easy-to-press brakes. It comes with wheels that are filled with foam that won't sag and a huge storage bin.

Easy of Use

A double stroller can be an expensive investment. Parents are looking for models that are easy to use. That means a broad range of features, ranging from the ability to fold it compactly to adjusting the handlebar height for different users, should be readily available. Some models come with multiple storage compartments that allow families to organize their belongings to make them easy to access. They also come with parent consoles and organizer bags that keep phones, keys and other necessities on hand.

A stroller can be adjusted to the changing needs of your family as they grow older also. For instance, a budget-friendly option like the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double includes a modular system that lets you add another seat, convert it into a triple by using an incline board, or change to a single and double stroller-mode with the rear bench. This flexibility allows double strollers to last for as long as it is needed.

In terms of maneuverability, many side-by-side models are difficult to maneuver, but our Lab testers were impressed by the ease of use and maneuverability of the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. This model is compatible with all of our top-rated car seats for infants and can be used by twins or children of various ages. Its telescoping handles and easy-to-use brakes allow it to be more flexible than other double strollers we have tested.

On the other side, the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double has a streamlined design and a huge storage basket that can fit two car seats for toddlers or one infant car seat in addition to an ordinary child's seat. It can be used by one child from age three. Its tires that are filled with foam are designed ready to grow double stroller not go flat.

The UPPAbaby folds up in half and is easy to store and carry. It's also very light and weighs only 18 pounds. It's also easy to open and close using an latch, and requires no tools to put together. It was a top choice among our Lab experts for its longevity and shopability as well as its affordability.

Simple of Storage

Double strollers must be able to hold diaper bags, water bottles and jackets along with the wallets, keys and phones of parents. They should also be able to glide over different surfaces, and maneuver through tight spots. When not in use, they are often required to fit into the trunk of a car.

Double strollers come in many different designs to meet the needs of parents. They can be side-byside or tandem, with fixed or removable seats, or with an infant car seats and a riding board. They can be designed to accommodate one toddler or infant or twins. Some are suited for jogging, while others can be used on trails for hiking and at the beach.

Modular designs are particularly useful for families who need to expand their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle S, for example is designed to allow parents to mix and match seat units, cot attachments and car seats, so that the stroller can serve the family from birth through toddlerhood.

Other modular double strollers like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double can be converted to a single child by using a bassinet or baby seat, or a toddler by using a standing board or jump seat (sold separately). The UPPAbaby is a versatile stroller that can be configured in a variety of ways, making it suitable for twins or siblings, or even an expanding family.

The UPPAbaby also prioritizes green and sustainability initiatives. The UPPAbaby is available in a wide range of colors and its fabrics are made out of recycled water bottles. Raul one of our testers used this double stroller during testing with his five-month-old son as well as three-year-old daughter. He said it was easy to take the parts out and assemble them since they came in neatly-labeled boxes with instructions and video codes.

The UPPAbaby also comes with an adjustable handlebar that can be telescoping, as well as brakes controlled by your thumb. The swiveling wheels on its front can aid in making more precise turns on sidewalks in cities.

Safety

Double strollers are often accused of being cumbersome and difficult to maneuver. They're also bulky. However, the latest models are sleeker and provide many options for customization. You might even find one that fits the car seat of your infant, making it even more convenient to go out and about with two kids in tow.

If you're looking for a side-by-side or in-line double stroller, make sure it's JPMA certified to ensure that it meets the minimum safety standards and passes regular inspections. You'll want to make sure that the suspension system provides a smooth ride for your children who are in the front seat. If your stroller has a handlebar make sure it is adjustable so that both parents can use it.

A canopy is another essential feature that can shield your children from harsh sunlight or inclement weather. The best canopies have the option of a reversible flap, or a transparent plastic peek-a-boo windows to let you monitor your children without causing disturbance. Certain canopies come with visors that block direct sunlight.

Another important metric to consider is how easy the stroller folds and unfolds. Compact strollers are simpler to put in the trunk of your car and take up less space. Strollers with a single button to fold the chassis are also more user-friendly.

When choosing a double stroller to buy take into consideration the age gap between your children as well as the type of trip you intend to take with them. For instance, if you're children are in the same age range, you may want to consider a tandem high-low twin umbrella stroller to ensure that they can get to know each other when outings are planned. On the other the other hand, if you have a large age gap it is possible to choose an option that is side-by-side, which gives them more privacy.

If you're going to be using your stroller with baby car seats, search for a model that integrates with the top-rated car seat brands and has good attachment scores. This won't have as significant an impact on the overall rating as other metrics but it is still important if you plan to use adapters for car seats.
