10 Things That Your Family Teach You About Double Car Seat Stroller

A Double Car Seat Stroller Is a Must-Have For Twins Or Two Young Kids

A double car seat stroller is essential for twins or two children. The Joovy TwinRoo+ allows infant car seats facing either direction, and has a sit-and stand configuration for older children.

Another alternative is a baby jogger that is perfect for parents who wish to take their kids on a running adventure. Which stroller is best for you?

Easy to Fold

The best double strollers are easy to fold, whether you're trying to stow them in your car or fit them in an entranceway. Most models have an lever or button that flips the seat back and folds up the base for storage in a compact space. Some models have a handle at the top that can be used to lift the stroller up and carry it, while other models come with an integrated kickstand to hold the stroller upright when folded.

If you have twins, or are planning to have more children in the near future, a double stroller that includes two infant car seats as well as an additional board is a great choice. The most popular model is the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, that can take all brands of infant car seats. It also has seats that are stadium-style so that both kids can see the sights. The model does not "snap into" the car seats. Instead, you use a strap net to hold them. The edge of the seat is set against the frame.

Look into strollers with front and rear wheels that lock to allow for better steering on uneven terrain. The parent tray comes with two cup holders, a protected storage space, and a padded handle with three positions to provide comfort and control. Certain models come with an basket that is larger and can hold even more gear.

For those who love the outdoors, a jogging stroller may be a better option than a standard stroller, but it can be awkward to lift and carry around with no designated handle. Some jogging walkers have a hook to attach an infant car seat, that can provide parents with up to eight months of walking time. However, this can be a risk for babies who are younger than six months. It is recommended to discuss this with your pediatrician first. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 2 Double are lightweight and have convenient one-hand standing folds. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is an excellent choice for outdoor activities. It can seat one child in the main seat, or two toddler seats that can be converted to bassinet-style seating.

Sturdy

A double stroller is an invaluable tool for families on the move. It should be sturdy enough to navigate all surfaces, from suburban sidewalks to trails in parks, and is comfortable for infants that may need to lay flat to toddlers who wish to sit up and explore. Ideally, it should be able to accommodate multiple seating arrangements for children of different age groups and fit comfortably in the trunk of your car.

This versatile tandem stroller from CYBEX is a good choice to conquer a variety of terrain. It comes with a reclining seat for toddlers and accepts an infant car seat. Its built-in adjustable foot and leg rests keep children comfortable, and its generous UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows offer both seats plenty of sun protection. Children can take a ride in either of the seats or stand on the baby bouncer board. The no-rethread harness buckles are among the simplest in our testing, making it easy to get them into and out.

This double stroller is compact and light despite being a two-person stroller. It also comes with plenty of storage space, including a large cargo net beneath the seats and a large basket on the top. The cushioned handlebars are popular with parents, but the seat backs aren't completely collapse into a flat position.

Another barebones, lightweight tandem double buggy stroller is this one from Kolcraft which weighs less than 23lbs and can hold kids as heavy as 40 pounds per seat (80 lbs total). It features large pop-out canopies to provide shade, peekaboo windows, and an auto-standing folding mechanism that has a carrying handle for easy transport.

This low-cost double jogging stroller is the lightest we tested. It's a great choice for families with two babies of similar age. It's not compatible with infant car seat, but can fit two of the top-rated convertible seats and has an ideal cup holder for each rider. The seats come with a harness with no-rethread that is quick and easy to put on, and the ample storage under the car is accessible without disturbing your passengers.

Convenient Storage

The amount of storage space a stroller offers is important especially when you're carrying two children and their supplies. Some of our favorite strollers have plenty of storage. They come with a large basket that can be used to store food and adult items. The UPPAbaby's one-hand folding is easy and doesn't strain your back.

Other models such as the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller are smaller in space, but offer decent flexibility at a lower cost. This model is compatible with 23 different infant car seats and cradles every seat, which is a huge benefit compared to other twin pushchair from birth frames that simply strap cars into place and aren't built to last as long as the car seat that is used for infants.

Parents of twins typically opt for a tandem stroller that can accommodate both infant car seats at the same time. However, these strollers are more expensive and last less as the children grow. If you're looking for a low-cost alternative, but one that can still function when your twins grow older, consider a stroller that can carry two child car seats. It should come with two canopies and an easy-to-use parent tray with cupholders.

It's important that your stroller is able to handle the weight and the movement your children will be doing, but you also want them to sit comfortably. Our testers examined padding, shoulder straps that were easy to adjust, and buckles that didn't require more than one hand to operate. Certain models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Evenflo Pivot Xpand have reclined seats that allow children to snooze in comfort. Others, such as the Joovy Cabose Ultralight graphite or Graco Duet have seats with very few recline options.

Another thing to think about is the number and position of sunshades. Some models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 or Evenflo Pivot have two canopies to cover both seats. Others, like the Joovy Caboose or Graco Duet have only one canopy, which has a window for the rear passenger. This is a great option for parents who have children who tend to sleep in the same place but it's important to remember that they'll only get limited coverage when the window is open.

Confortable

The most important thing to consider when choosing strollers is the ease of use. Look for a seat that is spacious enough to accommodate both children and includes recline positions. The canopy should provide enough shade, and the tray for parents should include two cup holders. Other features that are useful include locking front wheels and a parent organizer that comes with snacks and diaper bags.

The best double strollers for cars come with safety features that will make your child feel secure. Pick a stroller with a 5-point safety harness that holds your child's shoulders and hips, which are among the most rigid areas of their body. This shifts the force of an accident away from the abdomen and towards the seat, making this kind of restraint more secure than a lap belt.

It's important to consider whether the stroller will fit in your home. You should make sure the stroller will fit in your trunk or closet before you purchase it. It is also important to measure the width of any doors that you'll need to pass through with the stroller in its open. Standard doorways are between 30 and 36 inches wide. However some are narrower.

If you're looking for a low-cost alternative for your budget, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers versatile seating that works with two infant car seats and two toddler seats that can either face backward or forward. It's comparable to some of the top-end double strollers. However, it's more affordable for growing families. Its fold-up feature that is activated by one hand and a front foot break offer easy maneuvering with a padded three-position handle can be used by dad or mom. A convenient zippered compartment is under the large cargo basket for larger items. The front and rear swivels come with suspensions to ensure smooth riding in all terrains. The belt is not rethread, making it easy to fasten your child's seatbelts. It can be washed in the washing machine, and is easy to clean it off.
