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 to face either way, and also has a stand-and-sit arrangement for older children.
Another option is a baby jogger which is ideal for parents who wish to take their children on a running adventure. Which stroller is best for you?
Easy to Fold
The most comfortable double strollers are simple to fold, regardless of whether you're trying to put them in your car or fitting them into a doorway. The majority of models have a lever or button that flips the seat back and folds the base to make it a compact storage. Some also have a handle at the top of the stroller, which allows you to lift and carry the whole thing, while others come with a built-in kickstand which holds the stroller upright until you're ready use it again.
If you have twins or plan 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. A popular option is the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, which can accept any brand of infant car seats. It also has stadium seating so both kids can see the sights. This model, however, does not "snap" the car seats in the frame rather, you tie them into place using a strap net and the edge of the car seat rests on the frame's edge.
Consider a stroller that has the rear and front 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 that has three positions for comfort and control. Certain models come with larger baskets which can hold more gear.
For those who enjoy outdoor activities, a jogging stroller could be a better choice than a regular stroller, however it isn't easy to carry and lift with no handle. Some jogging strollers have a hook to connect an infant car seat which gives parents up to eight months of walking time. However, this can be risky for infants younger than six months. It is recommended to discuss this with your doctor first. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 2 Double are lightweight and come with one-hand standing folds. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is also a great option for outdoor activities. It is able to seat one child in the main seat or two toddler seats that can be converted into bassinet-style seating.
Sturdy
When families are on the move A
smallest Double buggy stroller is an essential tool. It must be sturdy enough to stand up to different surfaces, such as the suburban sidewalks and parks trails. It is also necessary to be comfortable for infants and toddlers, who may want to explore and sit up. Ideally, it should also accommodate multiple seating arrangements for children of various age groups and fit comfortably in the trunk of your car.
This multi-functional tandem stroller from CYBEX is a good choice for tackling many types of terrain. It is compatible with one car seat for infants and has an adjustable toddler seat. Its adjustable foot and leg rests keep children comfortable, while its spacious UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows provide both seats with plenty of sun protection. Kids can ride in either of the seats or take turns standing on the optional baby bouncer board. The harness buckles with no-rethread are among the most simple in our tests, making it easy to get them in and out.
Despite being a double stroller, this one is
lightweight twin buggy and compact. It has plenty of storage space, including a massive cargo net under the seats and a large bag on the top. Parents love the padded handlebars and the way the seats recline. However, some complain that the seat backs don't fully collapse to a completely flat position.
Another barebones, lightweight tandem stroller is this model by Kolcraft that weighs less than 23 pounds and can carry children up to 40 lbs per seat (80 pounds in total). It has nice-sized pop-out canopies that offer shade. It also has windows that peek out, a self-standing fold with straps for carrying that make it easy for walking, and 7-inch swivel lock front wheels as well as 10-inch back wheels that have suspension for a smooth ride.
This low-cost double jogging stroller is the lightest we tested. It's a great option for families with two children with similar ages. It doesn't work with infant car seats, but it can still fit two of the top-rated convertible car seats and comes with an ideal cup holder that can be used by both parents. The seats come with an easy-to-use harness that doesn't require rethreading. It's and easy to put on, and the ample undercarriage storage is accessible without causing any disturbance to your passengers.
Convenient Storage
It is important to think about the amount of storage strollers offer, particularly if you have two children and their toys. Some of our favorites, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, come with plenty of storage, including a huge basket that can accommodate both snacks for children and adult gear. Its simple, one-hand fold means you don't need to strain your back when you're ready to put it away.
Other models, like the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller, have less space, but provide decent range of features for a cheap price. This model is compatible with 23 different infant car seats and cradles every seat. This is a huge advantage over other twin frames which simply put the car in place. They're not designed to last for as long.
Many parents of twins select a tandem model that is able to take care of both infant car seats at once, but these strollers often cost a lot more than single strollers and have less life span as kids get older. For a more budget-friendly option that will still work as your twins grow choose a wagon that's designed to carry both car seats for children and has two canopy options as well as a parent tray that is convenient with cup holders.
While it's crucial to ensure that your stroller is able to handle all the weight and motion you're going to be placing on it, you also want to make sure your kids can sit comfortably. Our testers looked for padding, good adjustments to the height of the straps on their shoulders and buckles that do not require two hands to operate. Some models, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Evenflo Pivot Xpand have reclining seats, which allow children to relax in a comfy position. Other models, such as the Joovy Cabose Ultralight Graphite or Graco Duet have seats with very few recline options.
Another feature to consider is the number and position of sunshades. Some models, like the UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot have two canopy options that cover both seats, while others, such as the Joovy Caboose and Graco Duet have one canopy that has a window that opens for the rear passenger. It is a good idea to consider this if your child is prone to falling asleep in a certain position. However, it is important to remember that the window only provides minimal coverage.
Confortable
The most important aspect of a stroller to consider is its ease of use. Look for a seat that is large enough for both children and has reclining positions. The canopy should be big enough to provide some shade, and there should be a parent tray with two cup holders. Other useful features include lockable front wheels and a parent organizer with diaper bags and snacks.
The top double strollers for cars have safety features to make your child feel safe. Select a stroller that comes with five points of safety harness that secures your child's shoulders as well as hips, which are the most rigid parts of their body. This kind of harness is safer than a lap belt as it shifts the force from an accident away and into the seat.
It is also important to consider how the stroller will fit into your home. It is important to ensure that the stroller is able to fit into your closet or trunk before you buy it. Also, you should measure the width of all doors that you'll have to go through with the stroller open. Standard doorways are 30 to 36 inches wide, however some are narrower.
If you're looking for a budget-friendly option this model is a good choice. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers flexible seating that can be used with two infant car seats as well as two toddler seats that can face forward or backward. It's comparable to a few higher-end
double pram and pushchair car seat strollers, but it's more affordable for many growing families. Its fold-up feature that is activated by one hand and a front foot break offer easy maneuvering and a comfortable 3-position handle can be used by dad or mom. A convenient zippered compartment is beneath the large cargo basket for larger items. The swivels on the front and back are equipped with suspension to ensure smooth riding in all terrains. In addition, the harness with no rethread makes it easy and quick to secure your child's seat belts. It's machine washable and simple to spot clean, too.
