Buying Guide For Double Strollers

A double stroller is a great investment when you have two kids of similar ages. These compact tandem buggies or flexible side by side buggies will keep both children within sight while navigating the grocery aisle or in parks, or whatever else life throws at you.

Comfort

Comfort is an important factor to take into consideration when buying a double-stroller. This can include the seating arrangement as well as the overall size, which has an impact on ease of use and storage. Katie Billingsley, a child expert in child development from Fourth Trimester Postnatal Retreat, says parents should be aware of the stroller's weight and folded dimensions. "They should also take a look at the seat recline options and age ranges to ensure a perfect fit for their family."

A good double stroller will be durable enough to travel on different surfaces smoothly--from parks trails to suburban sidewalks, and from infant car seats to toddler booster seats. It should have a variety of seating options for children of different stages of development, as well as comfort features like peek-a-boo window and adjustable canopy that protect children from rain or sun.

For many families double strollers will be used from Bambisol Twin Pushchair: Birth to Ultra-Compact Design and into childhood, so it's important to think about the seating options. "There are two main categories: in-line with one seat ahead of the other, and side-by-side with seats next to each other," Billingsley explains. "Some parents prefer an in-line option for its sleek design and versatility, while others prefer a wagon-style double stroller to maximize space for heavy items or grocery bags."

In-line models are more likely to show this kind of difference. Some products may offer different recline options, with one being nearly flat, and the other being more upright. Billingsley suggests choosing a model with both a near flat recline as well as leg rest adjustments for both seats. This will ensure that both children lie down comfortably.

She also suggests that parents look for strollers that have storage compartments to allow them to quickly access their snacks, personal items, and toys while on the move. She also suggests that it's helpful to look for a stroller that has an organizer or parent console bag that can be attached to the handlebars. This will allow you to keep your essentials close at hand.

Many of the top-rated double strollers can be extended to allow parents to modify the layout depending on the needs of their family. For instance, the Mockingbird Expandable is a highly-rated double stroller that can be used with just a single seat from birth and then transformed into a tandem (with a second seat and bassinet) as the child gets older.

Safety

Double strollers must be able to carry the weight of two passengers and any additional cargo. Strollers need to be able to move and push, particularly when on rough terrain and in tight spaces. The best strollers come with ergonomic handlebars that can be adjusted in height to allow parents to maintain their good form while pushing them. A harness that does not need to be rethread which makes the adjustment of seat belts more quickly and easily to do, is a nice feature to look for. Safety features include a robust brake system, as well as wheels that can glide across any surface.

Some parents opt for side-by-side designs that allow both children to be able to see one another during family outings. This arrangement can prevent sibling rivalries over who is allowed to sit where but it's not a guarantee. If the seats are at different levels, a child might kick or punch another during a walk if the seats are at different levels.

If you have twins or siblings of similar age, a tandem-style stroller offers the benefit of being able to view both kids at once. However, these can be larger than other double strollers, so they may not fit through all doorways in the interior. You could consider a single-to-double stroller that can be transformed from a single stroller to a double in many ways. The most popular models are the CYBEX gazelle S.

Whether you choose a side-by-side or tandem-style stroller, be sure that the stroller is JPMA-certified to meet stringent safety standards. Also pay attention to the weight limits that apply to each seat, since exceeding them can lead to frame fatigue or other issues.

While it's easy for us to focus on the additional bells and whistles that come with a new stroller, it is crucial to keep in mind that a stroller is an infant carrier that is used for extended durations of time. It must be comfortable for both the passengers and easy to clean and maintain, and in the ideal case it should feature an intuitive, familiar design that the person pushing it can easily maneuver it without having to think twice about how to move forward or turn left or right, or apply the brakes.

Ease of Use

For families that are on the move, a double stroller must be easy to maneuver over a variety of terrains. Features like adjustable canopies, peek-aboo windows and dependable brake systems are critical to help ensure the safety of your children however, there are other elements that influence stroller comfort of use. For instance the stroller should be small enough to fit in the trunk of your car yet provide ample storage space for food items and other things. Additionally, you should consider thoughtful features like a one-parent cup holder as well as a console for parents and an eating tray for children -- all things that make life with two kids significantly easier.

During our testing, we evaluated each stroller on the basis of its ability to perform on different surfaces and its ability to maneuver in tight spaces. We also considered how easy it was to fold the stroller and then unfold it as well as if a particular feature improved the overall functionality. A stroller that does not have rethread straps makes it simple to adjust the seat belts. This is a huge selling point for parents who are always moving around, since it does away with the need to rethread the harness.

The UPPAbaby v2 Double scored well in this measure because it offered a wide range of seating options, as well as additional accessories that accommodated growing families. The double-stroller in the wagon style expands to accommodate an additional seat, pushchairsandprams a bassinet or even a toddler's riding board. This is ideal for families that plan to spend long days traveling with several children of various age groups. It also glides effortlessly over cobblestones, balls and pavements. It it folds flat to make simple storage in a trunk or closet. Our test subject Kerry appreciated the straightforward and easy-to-use nature of the stroller's design. Its stylish packaging clear sections, well-labeled sections and helpful user guides made assembling this stroller an absolute breeze.

Stores

A double stroller has the potential to hold twice as much as a single stroller, therefore, you should look for plenty of storage space. You want a stroller with enough storage space to store the essentials for both children and parents like bottles, toys, snacks, and diapers. Find baskets and pockets under the seats. Also, consider a stroller that has an expandable cargo space to accommodate bulky items such as lunch bags and diaper bags.

A good double stroller will be able to adapt to the needs of your family. Billingsley states that certain models come with the option of a bassinet attachment that can accommodate infants. Some models have child seats which can expand with the child until they are old enough to ride on the back. Some double strollers allow older siblings to join in on the fun with the rider board.

There's a wide selection of double strollers available on the market, ranging from sleek, high-performance options that can handle rough terrain to budget-friendly models that are more for everyday use. As you shop, read reviews and suggestions from families like yours to get an understanding of what to expect with the double stroller you pick.

Double strollers are available in three designs: tandem, side-by-side and wagon style. Billingsley states that side-byside strollers are the most flexible and ideal for twins as well as children of similar age. Tandem double strollers, on other hand, feature two seats set close to each other and facing opposite directions. It's a good option for kids who are the same age or for siblings who love to interact with one another. Tandem strollers are more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces, and are less likely to be able to fit through doorways.

If you're looking for a wagon-style double stroller check out this top pick from Safety 1st. Our testers were impressed by the fact that this low-cost model comes with a variety of seating options and the option to snap in two infant car seats or a single child riding in a convertible toddler seat. Our experts also appreciated the comfortable memory foam seats with a 50+ SPF canopy, and foam-filled tires that never stop running flat. When it's time to fold, this model requires just a couple of tugs on straps on each seat (under the seat where kids sit) to fold it in half.
