Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat A double stroller that includes an infant car seat could be essential for twins or children of similar ages. If you are planning to purchase one, it's crucial to consider your budget and the length of time you hope to use the stroller. Kate loved that the stroller was light and easy to maneuver. She also appreciated how easily it folded, however she found the buckles with magnetic buckles difficult to fasten. Size Size is a crucial factor to consider when choosing a double stroller that includes a car seat for your baby. The stroller should be compact and slim so parents can easily maneuver it on crowded sidewalks or through narrow subway gates. Additionally the stroller must be compact and easy to fold enough to fit in the trunk of a car or a smaller vehicle for storage. If you plan on having twins or children who are very close in age, you should consider purchasing a double stroller with two seats that can accommodate infant car seats. Double strollers are more expensive however, they last longer and can be used until toddlerhood or beyond. Our top choice is the UPPAbaby V2 Double, has a variety of seating options. It can accommodate two infant seats or toddler seats that can be converted into bassinets. We also love strollers that work with many different infant car seat brands and offers a wider selection of strollers for families to pick from. For instance the UPPAbaby Vista is compatible with the UPPAbaby Mesa, as well as a variety of other infant car seats with adapters, and it is compatible with the Baby Jogger Glider Board for a third, standing passenger. Some parents buy a stroller that is single to double that can be modified to accommodate a second child. We recommend purchasing what you need now. You may have a second child arrive later than you anticipated or your first child might not be capable of walking. The type of seating you can use in a double stroller, which includes an infant car seat can affect the relationship between siblings especially if they are close in age. Weight Double strollers tend to be heavier than single models. They have two seats and more cargo, meaning the final pushing weight is greater. This is an important factor to consider when choosing the best model, especially if you plan on using it for long walks or running. The most effective models are designed to handle the extra load with minimal movement or swaying. It's also worth considering the cost of a double stroller versus its durability. The top models provide high-quality design and seating versatility that indicates they'll last longer than the budget models. The double bundle from Joovy is a good example. It accepts adapters for two car seats for infants and can accommodate a second rider via a bassinet that attaches. This configuration is ideal for twins, children of different ages, or siblings with gaps between them. The Baby Trend Double Snap N'Go is a great choice for parents with a limited budget since it can be converted to a tandem stroller (single file) and can accommodate two car seats for infants. It's light and compact and easy to maneuver, despite the added weight. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another budget-friendly alternative. It is comparable to models that have won awards, but are more expensive, and comes with different seating configurations. Its side-by-side seat design allows for twins or children with varying ages. Additionally, it can be customized with accessories such as dual canopies twin bassinets, or modified seats that function as toddler seats. It is also easy to fold and has a compact footprint, making it easier to fit into the trunk. The stroller is not designed to be used until children are able to sit up without assistance, so infants older than that will require assistance or put in a car seat. Convenience It is easy to transfer your infant car seat from the vehicle into the stroller can make family outings more enjoyable and less stressful. Instead of trying to fold a stroller while keeping one hand on the baby and the other on a toddler, you can just click the seat in place and then begin moving. This convenience is especially useful for long journeys where you don't need to unbuckle or re-buckle your child every few minutes. Many parents with twins choose an option that can accommodate two infants in the car seats simultaneously. The Graco Fast Action Flip offers this functionality, and also has an adjustable bench seat that can be used by older siblings. However, it doesn't work with all kinds of infant car seats and it's a bit heavy for certain families. Other parents prefer a double stroller that has an integrated car seat adapter that is compatible with the majority of infant car seats. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo offers an excellent value for the features it has. While it's not the ideal double stroller for infant twins (it only works with one) it works well for a wide range of families and is a good option for those looking for a single purchase. Some double strollers feature a more complex process for attaching and detaching the car seat. For instance the UPPAbaby vist v2 double requires you to push down, and then hear a loud click, in order to know that it's securely secured. It's a bit more difficult to use in a parking garage particularly if your kids are tired or hungry. While it will grow with your family, we don’t think it's the best choice for parents of twins. You'll need purchase an additional toddler chair when your children are old enough. Durability A double stroller and infant car seats should be sturdy and built to last. It must also be suitable for your budget and lifestyle, whether you plan to use it for only a few years or many more. When purchasing a stroller take into consideration the fabric of the stroller and its components, like its tires. A stroller with a big and deep basket can accommodate plenty of diapers, groceries and other supplies. A large console for the parents and cup holders are also useful and so is an umbrella sunshade that offers plenty of coverage. Also, make sure the stroller can handle off-road terrain and navigate the narrow sidewalks of cities. Parents of twins may choose a side-by-side stroller for equal access and visibility to both children, whereas parents with children of different ages might choose a tandem model that allows the rear child to be lowered or raised. Tandem strollers weigh more than single strollers and can cause siblings to fight, especially if they have seats at different heights. A stroller that has an adjustable handlebar allows you to adjust the height to suit your needs. Also single to double pushchair -hand folding mechanism is useful. A small footprint is another aspect to think about. It should be able to fit in your trunk, and require minimal storage space. A modular stroller, like the CYBEX Gazelle provides unbeatable flexibility. You can mix and combine the seating units and cots to accommodate twins, multiples or one child of various age. Its robust design and a variety of seating configurations indicate that this high-end model is worth the investment if you're planning to keep it for a long time. Safety A good stroller is safe for the child in the seat as well as for the person pushing it. Alli Cavasino is a certified child passenger safety technician, suggests you choose a stroller that has ergonomic handlebars, with simple-to-use breaks and an adjustable harness. She also recommends avoiding accessories that add to the weight of the stroller, such as ride-on boards or additional child seats. A double stroller must be sturdy enough to maneuver different surfaces easily from suburban sidewalks to parks trails. It should be robust enough to move over curbs and bumps with ease, but also flexible to maneuver over a steep incline or up and down stairways. It should also be able to fold and fit into the trunk of a vehicle without compromising its size or maneuverability. Parents of twins or siblings who are similar in age might be interested in a double stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats. This allows them to transfer sleeping children from the car to the stroller without waking them up. Many of our top-scoring strollers work with two infant car seats like the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double and the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double. Another alternative is the Joovy Qool double bundle, which can be used with two infant car seats (car seat adapters are sold separately) and comes with an extra rumble seat that transforms into a second one when your children are old enough for their car seat. It offers stadium-style seating with ample space for legs and can be configured to let your kids meet each other and the world. It is not able to accommodate two bassinets as well as an infant car seat, or a riding board simultaneously. It is a great choice for families with multiple young children.
