Buying Guide For Double Strollers

If you have two children who are close in age, a lightweight double stroller stroller could be a great investment. These narrow tandem strollers or flexible side-by-side buggies let you keep an eye on both kids at the same time navigating the aisles of the supermarket, parks and anything else life throws your way.

Comfort

When you are looking for a double stroller, comfort is a major factor to consider. This can include both the seating arrangement and the overall size of the stroller which affects the accessibility and storage. "Parents should check how much the stroller weighs as well as its folded dimensions," says child development expert and mom Katie Billingsley of Fourth Trimester Postnatal Retreat. "They should also consider the seat recline options and age ranges to ensure a perfect fit for their family."

A good double stroller should be able to handle a variety of surfaces with ease including suburban sidewalks, parks and from toddler booster seats to infant car seats. It should come with a variety of seating options for children at different age groups, and comfort features such as a peek-a-boo windows and adjustable canopy options that protect children from the sun or rain.

Seating options are important for many families who will utilize double strollers from birth to the age of. Billingsley states that there are two major categories: in-line with one seat in front of the other and side-byside with seats adjacent to each other. Some parents prefer the inline option due to its sleek style and versatility. Others prefer a wagon style double stroller to maximize space for groceries or bulky items.

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

She also suggests parents search for twin strollers for newborns with storage compartments so that they can quickly access personal items, snacks and toys moving about. She also suggests that it is beneficial to choose a stroller that comes with a parent console or organizer bag, that can be attached to the handlebars. This can aid parents in keeping their essentials to hand.

Some of the top-rated double strollers can be expanded that allows parents to modify the set-up based on the needs of their growing family. The Mockingbird Expandable, for example is a highly rated double stroller which can be used from birth with just one seat, and later converted into a tandem (with two seats and a bassinet) when the child gets older.

Safety

Double strollers must be able to carry the weight of two passengers--plus any additional cargo. Strollers must be simple to maneuver and push, especially on difficult terrain and in tight spaces. The best strollers have ergonomic handlebars with adjustable heights which make it easier for parents to maintain good form when pushing them. Another great feature is a non-rethread seat belt harness, which makes it easier to adjust the belts on the seat. Safety features include a robust brake system, as well as wheels that glide over any surface.

Some parents prefer a side by side design to allow both children to meet up on family outings. This arrangement can help prevent siblings fighting over who is allowed to sit in which spot however it's not foolproof. If the seats are at different heights, a child may kick or punch another while walking if the seats are at different levels.

A tandem-style stroller is a great option for parents with twins or siblings who are close in age. It lets parents see both children at once. These double strollers can be wider, and may not fit through certain doors inside. Consider a single-to double stroller that can be transformed from a single stroller to a Double Running Stroller in a variety ways. Popular models include the CYBEX gazelle S.

If you are looking for a tandem or side-by-side stroller, make sure that the product is JPMA certified to meet strict safety standards. Pay attention to the maximum weight limit for each seat. Exceeding these limits could cause frame fatigue or other issues.

While it's easy to focus on the many bells and whistles on a new stroller, it's important to remember that a stroller is an infant carrier that is used for extended periods of time. It must be comfortable for both the passengers and easy to clean and maintain, and ideally, it should offer an intuitive, familiar design so that the person pushing it is able to effortlessly move it around without having to think about how to move forward and turn left or right, or apply the brakes.

Easy of Use

A double stroller should be easy to maneuver on different terrains for families who are constantly moving. Features like adjustable canopy systems windows, peek-aboo windows, and dependable braking systems are crucial to ensure your children's safety, but there are many other aspects that affect stroller ease of use. A stroller should be compact enough to fit in the trunk of your car yet have plenty of storage space for groceries or other things. Additionally, you should consider thoughtful features like a one-parent cup holder as well as a console for parents and a snack tray for kids--all things that make life on the go with two kids much easier.

In our testing we rated the strollers on how it did on a variety of terrains, and how easily it maneuvered in tight spaces. We also looked at how simple it was to fold and unfold, and whether or not a specific feature added to the overall function of the stroller. For example a stroller that has a harness that does not rethread makes the adjustment of the seat belts quick and simple. This can be a huge benefit for parents who are on the move since it reduces time and reduces the need to rethread the harness.

The UPPAbaby V2 Double scored highly in this metric as it had a wide variety of seating configurations, and other accessories that could accommodate families that are growing. The double buggy with carrycot-stroller in the wagon style expands to accommodate a second hand double buggy seat, bassinet or even a toddler's riding board. This is perfect for families who want to spend a lot of time on the road with multiple children of various ages. It also glides smoothly across pavement, cobblestones and ballfields--and can be folded flat for simple storage in a trunk or closet. Our tester Kerry loved the simple and intuitive nature of this stroller's design. Its smart packaging clear sections, well-labeled sections and helpful user guide made assembling this stroller a breeze.

Stores

A double stroller can be able to hold twice as much stuff than a single stroller, therefore, you should look for plenty of storage space. Ideally, you'll want an item that can hold the necessities for both kids, including nappies, bottles, snacks and toys, in addition to parents' belongings like wallets, phones keys, wallets and phones. Find baskets under the seat and other pockets, and think about a stroller with an expanding cargo space that can carry heavy items such as diaper bags and lunch bags.

A good double stroller will be able to grow with your family. Billingsley says that some models have an attachment for a bassinet to accommodate newborns. Some models have child seats that grow with the child until they are ready to ride on the back. Some double strollers allow older children to join in on the fun by riding on a rider board.

There are many double strollers available. You can choose from models with high-performance features that are great for rough terrain, or more budget-friendly options that can use on a daily basis. When shopping, take a look at reviews and opinions of families like yours to get a better idea of what to expect from the double stroller that you select.

Double strollers come in three different styles including tandem, side-by-side and wagon-style. Side-by-side double strollers offer the most flexibility and are perfect for twins or children close to each other in age, Billingsley explains. Tandem double strollers on the other hand, feature two seats that are arranged adjacent to one another and facing in opposite directions--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 in tight spaces and are less likely to fit through doors than their side-by-side counterparts.

Check out this top pick by Safety 1st if you prefer a wagon-style double stroller. Testers loved how this affordable model offers multiple seating configurations, including the ability to snap in two infant car seats or a single child riding in an convertible toddler seat. Our reviewers also praised the soft memory foam seats, 50+ SPF canopy, and foam-filled tires that never get flat. And when it's time for you to fold, this model needs just a couple of tugs on the straps on each seat (under where the kids sit) to fold it in half.
