Buying Guide For Double Strollers

If you have two children that are in the same age group, a double stroller can be a valuable investment. These narrow tandem buggies as well as versatile side-by-side buggies allow you to keep both children in sight when you are navigating the aisles of your grocery store, parks, and whatever else life throws at you.

Comfort

When shopping for a double stroller, comfort is a major aspect to take into consideration. This can include both the seating arrangement and the overall dimensions of the stroller which impacts convenience and storage. Katie Billingsley, a child development expert from Fourth Trimester Postnatal Retreat, advises parents to examine the stroller's weight as well as folded dimensions. "They should also consider the seat recline options and age ranges to ensure a perfect fit for their family."

A quality double stroller should be able to handle different surfaces with ease, from suburban sidewalks to park paths, and twin pushchair from birth toddler booster seats to infant car seats. It should also provide flexible seating options for children of different age groups and comfort features such as windows that peek out and adjustable canopy to protect children from sun or rain.

Seating options are crucial for many families who will utilize a double pram buggy stroller from birth to the age of. "There are two main categories - in-line with one seat behind the other, and side by side with seats next to each other," Billingsley explains. "Some parents prefer an in-line option for its sleek appearance and versatility, whereas others like a wagon-style double stroller to make the most space for heavy items or groceries."

In-line models are more likely to have this kind of discordance. Certain models may provide different recline options, with one seat being almost flat and the other one remaining fairly upright. Billingsley suggests selecting a product with a near-flat recline and leg rest adjustment for both seats to ensure each child can sleep comfortably.

In the end, she suggests looking for a stroller that includes storage compartments that allow parents to easily access snacks, toys and personal items while on the move. She also says that it is beneficial to choose a stroller that comes with a parent console or organizer bag that is attached to the handlebars. This will help parents keep essentials close in their reach.

Many of the top-rated double strollers can be enlarged, allowing parents the flexibility to modify the layout according to their family's requirements. The Mockingbird Expandable, for instance is a highly rated double stroller with infant car seat stroller that can be used from birth with just one seat, and later converted into a tandem (with two seats and a bassinet) when the child gets older.

Safety

Double strollers must be able to handle the weight of two passengers--plus any additional cargo. Strollers must also be simple to push and maneuver, especially in tight areas and over challenging terrain. The best strollers come with ergonomic handlebars with adjustable heights which make it easier for parents to maintain a good posture when pushing them. A harness that is not rethread which makes the adjustment of seat belts faster and easier to do, is a nice feature to look for. A sturdy brake system and wheels that glide across any surface are crucial safety features.

Some parents opt for an arrangement that allows both children to see each other on family outings. This arrangement can help prevent sibling rivalries over who is allowed to sit where, but it's not foolproof. If the seats are located at different heights, a child could punch or kick another during a walk in the event that the seats are at different levels.

A tandem-style stroller is a great option for parents with twins or siblings that are close in age. It lets them see both children at once. Double strollers are typically more spacious, and may not be able to fit through some doors inside. For maximum versatility, consider a single-to-double pram buggy stroller which can switch from a single stroller to a tandem in various ways, such as the well-known CYBEX Gazelle S. These models can accommodate a wide range of configurations and permit you to insert infant car seats or cot attachments depending on your needs.

If you decide to purchase a side-by-side or tandem-style stroller, make sure the product is certified by JPMA to meet stringent safety standards. Also pay attention to the maximum weight limits for each seat, since exceeding them could result in frame fatigue or other issues.

While it's easy for us to focus on all the extra bells and whistles that come with the latest stroller, it is crucial to keep in mind that a stroller is an infant carrier that is transported for long periods of time. It must be comfortable for both parents and children and easy to clean and maintain, and in the ideal case, it should offer an intuitive, familiar design that the person pushing it is able to easily maneuver it without having to think twice about how to move forward or turn left or right, or even apply the brakes.

Easy to Use

For families who are constantly on the move, a double stroller needs to be able to maneuver easily over a variety of terrains. Features like adjustable canopy windows, peek-aboo windows, and reliable braking systems are critical to help ensure your children's safety, but there are other factors that affect stroller ease of use. A stroller must be compact enough to fit in the trunk of your car and still provide plenty of storage space for groceries and other things. It is also important to consider thoughtful additions like a one-parent cup holder, parent consoles and snacks for children--all things that can make life on the go with two kids significantly simpler.

In our tests we rated each stroller on how well it performed on a variety terrains, and how easily it maneuvered in tight spaces. We also looked at the ease with which it was possible to fold and unfold, and whether or not a particular feature added to the overall function of the Twin Umbrella Stroller. A stroller that does not have rethread straps makes it simple to adjust the seat belts. This is a major benefit for parents on the go because it cuts down on time and removes the need to re-thread the harness.

The UPPAbaby V2 Double scored well in this measure because it offered a wide range of seating configurations, and other accessories that could accommodate expanding families. The double-stroller that looks like a wagon expands to accommodate a second seat, bassinet, or even a toddler-riding board. This is ideal for families who want to spend a lot of time in the car with a variety of children of various ages. It also glides effortlessly over cobblestones, ball fields and pavements. It also folds flat for easy storage in a closet or trunk. The design of this stroller is easy and intuitive, which was appreciated by our tester Kerry. Its stylish packaging clear sections, well-labeled sections and helpful user guides made assembling this stroller an absolute breeze.

Storage

A double stroller is able to hold twice as much as a single stroller, so make sure you have plenty of storage space. You want a stroller with enough storage space to accommodate the necessities of children and parents including bottles as well as snacks, toys and diapers. Find baskets and pockets under the seats. Also, consider a stroller with an expandable cargo space to accommodate bulky items like diaper bags and lunchbags.

A good double stroller should be able to grow with your family. For instance certain models have an attachment for a bassinet that can accommodate newborns, while others have child seats that can expand with your kids until they're ready to switch to riding on the back of the stroller, Billingsley says. Some double strollers allow for a rider board to allow older siblings to take part in the fun.

You'll find a wide variety of double strollers on the market, ranging from sleek, high-performance models that are able to handle rough terrain to budget-friendly models that are more for everyday use. As you shop, read reviews and suggestions from families just like yours to get an understanding of what to expect with the double stroller you choose.

Double strollers are available in three designs: tandem, side-by-side and wagon-style. Side-by-side double strollers offer the most flexibility and are perfect for twins or kids who are close to their age, Billingsley explains. Tandem double strollers have two seats that are set in tandem facing in opposite directions. This is a good option for children who are similar age or siblings who prefer to play with one another. Tandem strollers are more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces, and are less likely to be able to fit through doorways.

Check out this top selection by Safety 1st if you prefer a wagon style double stroller. This affordable model was highly praised by our testers for its multiple seating configurations. It can be used with two infant car seats or one child in a convertible toddler seat. Our experts also praised the memory foam seats as well as the canopy, which has 50+ SPF and foam-filled wheels that will never wear out. When it's time to fold, this model requires only a few tugs on the straps on each seat (under where the kids sit) to fold it in half.
