Buying a Double Infant Stroller A double stroller is an ideal way for parents to transport multiple children. The best models are simple to fold, carry and place into a trunk of a car. They also have various seating arrangements for children of different ages.

We also like options that allow two infant car seats, such as the UPPAbaby v2 Double. Comfort It is crucial that your baby and toddler are at ease in the stroller. Choose a stroller with padded seats and swiveling wheels at the front to smooth bumps on the road. Also, choose one with buckles that can be easily removed and fastened. You could also consider a large, UPF 50+ canopy, which provides sun protection and plenty of coverage for both kids. Adjustable footrests allow your child to sit in the rear seat if they are exhausted. Some double strollers provide this option for both children, including the Safety 1st model that is the top-selling model. The number of seats you can put in your stroller depends on the ages and weights of the kids who are riding in it. For instance, a side by side stroller lets you keep an eye on both children simultaneously which is perfect for twins or siblings that are close in age. It's more spacious than other types of strollers and isn't easy to maneuver in tight or narrow areas. On the other hand, a stand-and-sit stroller allows older siblings to stand while you push your younger child in a car seat for infants. It's not the best option for infants, but it can be a good fit once your kiddos are around three years old and able to walk for longer distances. A convertible stroller is an additional alternative. It has multiple seating options and can be used for years as a single or double.

You'll need to ensure that the suspension system gives a smooth ride for your children who are in the front seat. If your stroller comes with a handlebar, be sure that it is adjustable to accommodate parents and dads of various heights. A canopy can shield your child from harsh sunlight and inclement weather. The best canopies have an reversible flap as well as a clear plastic peek-a-boo window that allows you to watch your children without disturbing them. Certain canopies come with visors that block the direct sun. The ease of folding and unfolding the stroller is another important aspect to take into consideration. Compact strollers are easier to store in your car's trunk and take up less space. Strollers that have one button to fold the chassis are easier to use. When deciding which double stroller take into consideration the age gap between your children and the kind of trip you intend to take them on. For instance, if your kids are close in age, you may want to choose an incline-to-low tandem stroller so that they can interact when outings are planned. On the other side, if your kids have a significant age gap then you may want to consider an option that is side-by-side, which gives them more privacy. If you're planning to use your stroller for baby car seats, you should choose a model with a high attachment score and that is compatible with top-rated brands. This will not 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.
