A Double Car Seat Stroller Is a Must-Have For Twins Or Two Young Kids

A double stroller with two car seats is a must for toddlers and twins. One alternative, the Joovy TwinRoo+, allows infant car seats to be positioned in either direction and has a sit-and-stand option for older kids.

Another option is a baby jogger, which is ideal for parents who want to take their children for a run. Which stroller is right for you?

Easy to Fold

The best double strollers are easy to fold, regardless of whether you're trying to stow them in your car or fit them into the doorway. Most models come with an lever or button that flips the seat back and folds it up for compact storage. Some models also have a handle at the top of the stroller that allows you to lift and carry the entire thing, while some come with a built-in kickstand that holds the folded stroller upright until you're ready to take it out again.

A double stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats and an additional riding board is a great option if you have twins or plan to have more than one child in the near future. The Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go is a popular option. It is compatible with all infant car seats and also has seating for both children to enjoy the sights. This model does not "snap" the car seats in place rather, you tie them on using an elastic strap and the rim of the car seat rests on the frame's edge.

If you're planning to shop or walk on a city sidewalk look into a stroller that has front and rear wheels that lock for better steering over uneven terrain. A three-position handle that is cushioned provides comfort and control, while the parent tray has two cup holders and a covered storage compartment. Some models have a larger basket which can hold more gear.

For outdoor enthusiasts A jogging stroller might be a better option over a standard stroller however it isn't easy to carry and lift with no designated handle. Some jogging strollers have hooks to attach to a car seat for infants, which can give parents up to eight months more walking time. However, this could be risky for infants younger than six months. It is best to discuss it with your doctor first. BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 2 Double are lightweight folding systems that can be folded using just one hand. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is an excellent choice for outdoor activities and can seat one child in the main seat or two toddler seats that convert to bassinet-style seating.

When families are constantly on the move, a GYMAX Double Seat Stroller: Adjustable Push Handle Pram stroller is an essential tool.

Convenient Storage

It's important to consider the amount of storage a stroller provides, especially if you have two children and their equipment. Some of our favorites, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, have plenty of storage, including a large basket that can hold the kids' snacks as well as adult items. 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 such as the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller have less space, but they offer good flexibility at a lower cost.

They're not built to last as long.

Many parents of twins choose a tandem model that is able to handle both infant car seats at once however, these strollers usually cost more than single strollers and have shorter life spans as children get older.

It is essential that your stroller is able to take the weight and movement your children will be putting on, but you also want them to sit comfortably. Our test participants looked for padding, an easy adjustable shoulder height straps and buckles that don't require two hands to operate. Certain models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Evenflo Pivot Xpand come with reclined seats that allow children to relax in a comfy position. Others, like the Joovy Cabose Ultralight Graphite and Graco Duet have seats with only a few reclining options.

Another aspect to consider is the number and position of sunshades. Certain models, like 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 a window for the rear passenger. It's a good idea to use this type of canopy if your child is known to fall asleep in a certain position. However, it's crucial to remember that the window will only offer only a small amount of coverage.

Comfortable

The most important aspect of a stroller to consider is its ease of use. Look for an extremely comfortable, well-padded and sturdy seat that is big enough for both kids and also has recline positions. The canopy should be big enough to offer shade and there should be a parent tray with two cup holders. Other features to consider include the foot brake, locking front wheels and a parent organizer which can store snacks and diaper bags.

The most effective double car seat strollers include safety features to make your child feel safe. Pick a model that has five-point harnesses that hold your child at the shoulders and hips, the most rigid parts of their body. This shifts the most intense forces of an accident away from the abdomen and towards the seat, making this type of restraint safer than a lap belt.

You should also think about how the stroller will fit in your home. The majority of parents have a small amount of storage space, so ensure that the stroller will fit in your closet or trunk before you buy it. Also, you should measure any doorways you will have to traverse when the stroller is open. The standard doorways are between 30 and 36 inches wide. However there are some that are wider.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an excellent budget-friendly choice. It comes with two infant car seats and two toddler seats that can be positioned either forward or backward.

A convenient compartment that is zippered is located under the large cargo basket for larger items. The rear and front swivel wheels are equipped with suspension to provide a smooth ride on different terrains. Plus, the no-rethread harness allows you to quickly and easily to secure your child's seat belts. It's machine washable and simple to spot clean, too.
