Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat A double stroller that includes an infant car seat may be a must for twins or children of similar ages. If you plan to buy one, you must take into consideration your budget and how long you hope to use the stroller for. Kate liked the fact that the stroller was lightweight and easy to maneuver. She also liked how easily it folded, however she found the magnetic buckles difficult to fasten. Size When selecting a double stroller and baby car seats size is an important aspect to consider. The stroller should be compact and slim so parents can easily maneuver it through crowded sidewalks or through the narrow subway gates. Additionally, the stroller should be compact and easy to fold enough to fit in a trunk or smaller vehicle to store. If you're planning on having twins or children who are close in age, you should consider purchasing a double stroller that has two seats that can fit infant car seats. Double strollers are more expensive but they have a longer life and can be used up to the age of toddler or even beyond. For instance, our top pick the UPPAbaby Vista Double has a wide range of seating options and can accept two infant car seats or toddler seats that convert into bassinets. We also love strollers that can be used with different brands of infant car seats which means that there is more strollers for families to pick from. The UPPAbaby Vista, for instance can be used with the UPPAbaby mesha as well as other infant car seats that come with adapters. It is also compatible with the Baby Jogger Glider Board to accommodate a third person standing. Some parents buy a double or single stroller that can be modified to accommodate an additional child. We recommend buying what you need now. There is a chance that an additional child arrive later than expected, or your first child might not be able to walk. Furthermore, the style of seating that you can find on a double stroller with infant car seats can affect siblings' relationships, especially for children who are close in age. Weight Double strollers are generally heavier than single strollers. They have two seats and more cargo, so the weight of the final pushing load is greater. This is a factor to consider when choosing your ideal model, especially if you plan on using it for long walks and running. The best models will handle the extra weight without movement and shifting. It's also worth considering the cost of a double stroller versus its longevity. The higher-end strollers are built better and come with more seating configurations and will last longer than their lower-cost counterparts. The joovy qool double-bundle, for example, accepts car seat adapters for two infant car seats and can accommodate a second child through an attachable bassinet. This configuration is ideal for twins, children of different ages or siblings with an in-between gap. For those on a tight budget, they might consider the Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go an attractive option, as it can accommodate two infant car seats and can be converted into a tandem (single-file) stroller. It's lightweight and compact, making it easy to maneuver despite the additional weight. Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double. It's similar to models that have won awards, but are more expensive and offers different seating configurations. Its side-by-side seat design allows for twins or children with different ages, and it can be customised with add-ons like dual canopies twin bassinets, twin bassinets or altered seats that act as toddler seats. It can be folded easily and has a compact footprint, making it easier to fit into the trunk. The stroller is not meant to be used until children are able to sit without assistance, so infants younger than that require assistance or seated in a car seat. Convenience Seamlessly transferring your infant car seat from the vehicle into the stroller can make family outings easier and less stressful. Rather than attempting to fold the stroller while keeping one hand on the baby and the other on a toddler, you can simply click the seat in place and begin moving. This is particularly useful for long journeys where you don't need to unbuckle or change your child's buckle every few minutes. Many parents who have twins choose a travel system which can accommodate two infant car seats at the same time. The Graco Fast Action Flip offers this functionality, and also has the option of a bench seat that could be used by older siblings. It is not compatible with all infant car seats, and can be quite heavy for some families. Some parents prefer a double stroller that has an integrated car seat adapter that can be used with the majority of infant car seats. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo offers an excellent value for the features it provides. While it's not the ideal double stroller for twins in the infant stage (it can only be used with one), it can work well for a variety of families and is a great option if you're looking to make a purchase that is a one-and-done deal. Other double strollers require a more intricate procedure to attach and detach the car seat. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double for instance, requires that you push down and then hear a loud click to ensure it's secured properly. It's a little more challenging to use in a parking lot particularly if your kids are hungry or tired. It can be a bit more difficult to use with your family, we don't believe it's the best option for parents of twins because you'll have to purchase an additional toddler seat when your children are old enough for it. Durability A double stroller with an infant car seat should be durable and built for longevity. It should also fit your lifestyle and budget whether you intend to use the stroller for a few or a number of years. When purchasing a stroller, consider the fabric of the stroller and its components, like its tires. A stroller that has a large and deep basket can accommodate plenty of diapers, food items, and other things. A large console for parents and cup holders are helpful, as is a sun canopy that gives plenty of coverage. Make sure that the stroller is able to handle off-road terrain and narrow city sidewalks. Parents of twins might prefer a side-by-side stroller to provide equal access and visibility for both children. Parents with children of different ages may opt for a tandem stroller that allows the rear child's seat to be raised or lower. Tandem strollers are typically heavier than single strollers, however, they can cause sibling squabbles if the seats are at different heights. A stroller that has an adjustable handlebar allows you to adjust the height to suit your needs. Also the one-hand folding mechanism can be useful. A small footprint is another aspect to consider. double tandem pushchair should easily fit in your trunk and will require only a little storage space. A stroller that is modular, such as the CYBEX Gazelle, offers unmatched flexibility. It is possible to mix and match the cots and seating units to accommodate twins, multiples or a single child of varying ages. This high-end model's durable construction and the flexibility of seating configurations make it a great investment if you are planning to keep it for many years to come. Safety A quality stroller must be safe for children who are in the seat as well as the parent who pushes them. Alli Cavasino is a certified child-passenger safety technician, suggests that you select strollers that have ergonomic handlebars with easy-to-use breaks and an adjustable harness. She also suggests avoiding any accessories that add weight of a stroller for children, like ride-on boards and extra child seats. A double stroller must be strong enough to handle various surfaces including suburban sidewalks and paths to paved roads. It should be robust enough to move over curbs and bumps easily, but also flexible to maneuver over a steep incline or up and down stairways. It should also be able to fold up and fit into the trunk of a car, without restricting its size or maneuverability. Parents with twins or other siblings close in age will need to think about a stroller that can fit two infant car seats. This will allow them the flexibility to move sleeping kids from the car into a stroller without disturbing them up. A majority of our top-scoring strollers can be used with two car seats for infants such as the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double and the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double. The joovy double bundle is another alternative. It comes with two infant car seats and an add-on rumble chair that can be transformed into a second one once your kids outgrow the car seat. It has stadium seating with plenty of legroom and can be configured so that your kids are facing each other or the world. It is not able to accommodate two bassinets as well as an infant car seat, and a riding board at the exact same time. However, it is a great option for families with multiple young children.
