Double Car Seat Stroller Is a Must-Have For Twins Or Two Young Kids
A double car seat stroller is a must-have for twins or two young kids. The Joovy TwinRoo+ allows infant car seats facing either way, and comes with a sit-and stand configuration for older children.
Another alternative is a baby jogger which is perfect for parents who want to take their children on a run. Which stroller is best for you?
Easy to Fold
The most comfortable double strollers are simple to fold, whether trying to stow them in your car or stow them through an entranceway. Most models come with an option lever that allows you to fold the base down and flip the seat back. Some also have a handle on the top of the stroller that allows you to lift and carry the whole thing, while some include a kickstand built into the design that holds the folded stroller upright until you're ready use it again.
If you have twins or plan to have additional children in the future, a double stroller that includes two infant car seats and an add-on board is a excellent option. One of the most popular options is the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, which is able to accept all brands of infant car seats. It also has stadium seating so both kids can see the sights. This model does not "snap in" the car seats. Instead you utilize a strap net to anchor them. The frame rests against the frame.
If you're planning to shop or walk on a city sidewalk look into a stroller that has front and rear wheels that lock to allow for better steering over uneven terrain. A three-position handle that is cushioned provides the user with comfort and control and the tray for the parent comes with two cup holders and a covered storage compartment. Some models come with an basket that is larger and can hold even more equipment.
A jogging-stroller can be a great option for those who love to go on outdoor adventures. However it isn't easy to lift and carry without a designated handle. Some jogging strollers have hooks to connect an infant car seat, that can provide parents with up to eight months of time to walk. However, this could be dangerous for babies who are younger than six months. You should discuss it 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 choice for outdoor activities. It can accommodate one child in the main seat, or two toddler seats that convert to bassinet-style seating.
Sturdy
When families are constantly on the move, a double stroller can be an indispensable tool. It must be robust enough to travel over various surfaces with ease including suburban sidewalks and park trails, and also comfortable for infants that may need to lay flat to toddlers who wish to sit up and explore. Ideally, it should also be able to accommodate multiple seating arrangements for children of varying age groups and fit comfortably in the trunk of your car.
This multi-functional tandem stroller from CYBEX is a great choice for all kinds of terrain. It can accommodate one infant car seat and has an adjustable toddler seat. Its adjustable foot and leg rests help keep kids comfortable, and its generous UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows provide both seats with plenty of sun protection. Kids can ride in either of the seats or stand on the optional baby bouncer board. The harness buckles that do not require rethreading are among the easiest in our testing, making it easy to get them in and out.
Despite being a double, this stroller is light and compact. The stroller is packed with plenty of storage space, including a large cargo net underneath the seats and a large bag on the top. Parents appreciate the padded handlebars and the way that the seats recline. However, some people complain that the backs of the seats aren't able to fully collapse into an entirely flat position.
The
lightweight double buggy, basic tandem stroller from Kolcraft can carry children up to 40 pounds per seat (80 pounds in total). It weighs less than 23 pounds. It has large pop-out canopy to provide shade, peekaboo windows, and a self-standing folding mechanism with an easy-to-carry handle for transport.
This budget-friendly double jogging stroller is the lightest that we've tested. It's an excellent option for families with two babies of similar age. It's not compatible with infant car seat, but can fit two of the top-rated convertible seats, and comes with an easy cup holder that can be used by each passenger. The seats have a no-rethread harness that's quick and easy to secure, and the ample undercarriage storage is easily accessible without disturbing your passengers.
Convenient Storage
The amount of storage that a stroller provides is crucial particularly when you're carrying around two kids as well as their belongings. Some of our top picks, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, have plenty of storage space, including an extra-large basket that can accommodate both snacks for children and adult gear. And the UPPAbaby's hassle-free, one-hand fold means you don't need to strain your back when you're ready put it away.
Other models like the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller have less space, but provide decent flexibility at a low cost. This model is compatible with 23 different infant carseats and cradles every seat. This is a huge advantage over other twin frames which simply put the car in place. They aren't built to last for as long.
Parents of twins often choose a tandem stroller that can accommodate both infant car seats at the same time. However, these strollers are more expensive and last longer as children grow. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, but one that will still work as your twins get older, consider a stroller that can carry two car seats. It should have dual canopy options and a user-friendly tray for parents with cup holders.
It is essential that your stroller can handle the weight and movement your children will be putting on however, you also want them to sit comfortably. Our test participants looked for padding, good adjustments to the height of the straps on their shoulders, and simple buckles that do not require two hands to operate. Certain models, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand have recline seats that let children rest comfortably. Others such as the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite and Graco Duet, have seats with limited recline options.
The number and location of the sunshades are also important. Some models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 or Evenflo Pivot have two canopy options to cover both seats. Others, like the Joovy Caboose or Graco Duet have only one canopy, which has an opening for the rear passenger. It is a good idea to consider this if your child is prone to falling asleep in a specific position. But it's important to remember that the window will only offer minimal coverage.
Comfortable
The most important feature of a stroller is the ease of use. Choose a seat that is spacious enough for both children and has reclining positions. The canopy should be large enough to provide some shade, and there should be a parent tray with two cup holders. Other features that are useful include lockable front wheels and an organizer for parents that includes diaper bags and snacks.
The top double car seat strollers also have safety features that will help your children feel secure. Choose a model with 5-point harness that secures your child's hips and shoulders, which are the most rigid parts of their body. This shifts the most intense forces of an accident away from the abdomen to the seat, making this type of restraint more secure than a simple lap belt.
