Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double pram stroller stroller provides parents with multiple children an easy way to move them around. The best models are reasonably simple to fold and transport, fit well in the trunk of a car and provide a variety of seating arrangements for children of varying ages.

If your children are close in age, you may consider a sit-and-stand or side-by-side design is the best method to avoid fights between siblings over which seat to choose. We also recommend options that allow two infant car seats, such as the UPPAbaby V2 double.

Comfort
