Buying Guide For Double Strollers

If you have two kids who are close in age, a double stroller can be a great investment. These strollers are narrow and narrow, as well as flexible side-by-side buggies allow you to keep your eyes on both kids at the same time navigating the aisles of the supermarket as well as the parks and other obstacles life throws your way.

Comfort

When you are looking for a double stroller, comfort is a major aspect to take into consideration. This could include both seating arrangements and the overall size of the stroller, which impacts convenience and storage. "Parents must determine what the stroller weighs as well as its dimensions when folded," says child development expert and mom Katie Billingsley of Fourth Trimester Postnatal Retreat. "They should also take a look at the seat recline options and age ranges to ensure a good fit for their family."

A quality double stroller should be able to handle different surfaces with ease including suburban sidewalks, parks, and from toddler booster seats to infant car seats. It should also offer versatile seating options for children of different age and comfort features like windows that peek out and adjustable canopy to shield children from sun or rain.

For a majority of families, a double stroller is likely to be used from birth and into the age of five, so it's crucial to consider the seating options. "There are two main categories - in-line with one seat ahead of the other, and side by side with seats that are next to each other," Billingsley explains. "Some parents prefer an in-line option for its sleek look and versatility, while others like a wagon-style double stroller to maximize space for heavy items or groceries."

In-line models are more likely to show this type of discrepancy. Some products may offer different recline options, with one seat being almost flat and the other one remaining fairly upright. Billingsley recommends choosing a product with a nearly flat recline and leg rest adjustments for both seats to ensure both children can lie back comfortably.

Then, she suggests to look for strollers with storage compartments that will allow parents to quickly access snacks, toys and personal items while out and about. She adds that it's also beneficial to choose the stroller that has an organizer console for parents or a parent bag that is attached to the handlebars. This can help keep essentials in reach.

Some of the best-rated double strollers can be extended giving parents the ability to modify the layout based on their family's needs. The Mockingbird Expandable, for example, is a highly rated double stroller that can be used from birth with a single to double buggy seat, and later converted into a tandem (with two seats and a bassinet) when the child gets older.

Safety

Double strollers need to be able to carry the weight of both the passengers as well as any additional cargo. Strollers must be simple to maneuver and push, particularly on rough terrain or in tight spaces. The best strollers have ergonomic handlebars that can be adjusted in height to allow parents to maintain their good posture while pushing them. Another nice feature is a non-rethread seat belt harness that makes it easier to adjust the belts on the seat. Safety features include a sturdy brake system and wheels which can glide across any surface.

Some parents prefer side-by-side designs that allow both children to see each other during family outings. This arrangement can prevent sibling squabbles about who gets to sit in which place however, it's not 100% secure. If the seats are located at different heights, a child may punch or kick another during a walk in the event that the seats are at different levels.

For parents of twins or siblings close in age, a tandem stroller can be beneficial in being able see both children at the same time. However, they can be larger than other double strollers, and they might not fit through all doorways in the interior. Think about a stroller that is single and double stroller-to-double that can be transformed from a single stroller to a double in many ways. Popular models include the CYBEX gazelle S.

If you opt for a side-byside or tandem stroller, make sure that the stroller is JPMA-certified to meet strict safety standards. Be aware of the maximum weight limit for each seat. Exceeding these limits could cause frame fatigue and other issues.

It's easy to be swept in the sound of bells and whistles, but it's important to keep in mind that strollers are essentially baby carriers that are used for a long period of time. It must be comfortable for both passengers, easy to clean and maintain, and ideally, it should offer an easy-to-use, 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 even apply the brakes.

User-Friendliness

For families that are on the move, a double stroller needs to be easy to maneuver over a variety of terrains. Strollers with features like windows that can be opened and closed, adjustable canopy and sturdy brake systems are essential to ensure the safety of your children. However, there are other features that make them more convenient to use. A stroller should be compact enough to fit in the trunk of your car and still provide plenty of storage space for groceries and other things. Also important are thoughtful touches such as a cup holder for one parent, parent consoles and snacks for children--all things that will make life with two kids much simpler.

During our testing we evaluated each stroller on the basis of its performance on different surfaces and its ability to maneuver in tight spaces. We also looked at how easy it was to fold the stroller in half and then unfold it in a timely manner, and if a specific feature enhanced the overall functionality. 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 major selling point for parents on the go because it cuts down on time and removes the need to re-thread the harness.

The UPPAbaby 2 Double scored well in this measure because it came with a variety of seating configurations, and additional accessories that accommodated families that are growing. The wagon-style double stroller is able to provide an additional seat, a bassinet or even a toddler riding board that is perfect for families who are active and planning long days on the go with multiple children of different age. It glides easily over cobblestones, pavements, and ball fields. It can fold flat to be stored in a trunk or closet. The design of this stroller is simple and intuitive which was well-loved by our test participant Kerry. Its stylish packaging, clearly labeled sections and helpful user guides made putting together this stroller a breeze.

Stores

A double stroller has the potential to hold twice as much as a single stroller, so look for ample storage space. You'll want a stroller that has enough storage space to hold the necessities of parents and children, such as bottles as well as snacks, toys and diapers. Find baskets under the seat as well as other pockets, and think about a stroller with an expandable cargo space that can carry bulky items like diaper bags and lunch bags.

A good double stroller must be able to adjust as your family grows. For example certain models come with an attachment for a bassinet that can accommodate infants, while others come with child seats that can expand with your kids until they're ready to move to the back of the stroller, Billingsley says. Some double strollers allow older children to share in the fun with the rider board.

There are a variety of double strollers on the market. You can pick from models with high-performance features that are ideal for rough terrain, as well as affordable options that you can use on a daily basis. When shopping, take a look at reviews and recommendations of families similar to yours to get a better idea of what you can expect from the double buggy newborn stroller that you select.

Double strollers are available in three styles: tandem, side-by-side and wagon style. Side-by-side double strollers offer most flexibility and are perfect for twins or kids similar to their age, Billingsley explains. Tandem double strollers feature two seats set up in tandem with the opposite direction facing. This is a good option for children who are similar age, or siblings who prefer to be social with one another. Tandem strollers can be difficult to maneuver through tight spaces and are less likely to fit through doorways than their side-by-side counterparts.

Take a look at this top choice by Safety 1st if you prefer a wagon-style double stroller. Our testers were impressed by the fact that this low-cost model comes with a variety of seating options, including the ability to click in two infant car seats or a single child riding in the convertible toddler seat. Our experts also praised memory foam seats, canopy with 50+ SPF and foam-filled wheels that never go flat. And when it's time to fold, this model requires only a few tugs on the straps of each seat (under the seat where kids sit) to fold in half.
