Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller is a great way for parents to transport multiple children. The best compact double stroller models are reasonably simple to fold and transport and can easily fit inside a trunk of a car, and have a variety of seating options for children of varying ages.

If your children are close in age, you could decide that a sit-and stand or side-byside style is the best way to avoid sibling fights over which seat to choose. We also recommend options that allow two infant car seats, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double.

Comfort

It is essential that your toddler and baby are both at ease in the stroller. Select one with padded seats, a wide base and swiveling front wheels to smooth out bumps on the road, and buckles that are simple to secure and remove.

Choose a big, UPF 50+ canopy to provide sun protection for both children. Another comfort feature is adjustable footrests that let your child sit up in the back of the seat when they get tired. Some double strollers, such as the best-selling model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.

The number of seats you can have in your stroller will be determined by the weight and age of the children who will be using it. A side-by-side baby stroller lets you to monitor two children at once, making it ideal for twins or siblings of the same age. It's larger than other models and may be difficult to maneuver in tight or narrow areas.

On the other hand, a stand-and-sit stroller gives older siblings the chance to stand while you push the baby in the infant car seat. It's not a good choice for babies but it's a good fit once your kiddos are around three years old and can walk for longer distances.

A convertible stroller is an additional alternative. It has multiple seating options and can be used as a single or double car seat stroller. Rebecca says that this kind of stroller is an excellent option for parents who wish to purchase a single stroller but are planning to use it with two kids. "It's more expensive than our top tandem selection however, it will last a long time, offers a high potential for resales and is extremely versatile," she says.
