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

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

A baby jogger is another option for parents who want to take their children on a run journey. Which stroller is the best for you?

Easy to Fold

The best double strollers fold easily no matter if you're trying to fit them in your car or through a narrow doorway. The majority of models come with an option lever that allows you to fold the base down and flip the seat back. Some models have a handle at the top that you can use to lift the stroller up and carry it, while others come with an integrated kickstand that can hold the stroller upright when folded.

If you have twins or are planning to have more children in the future, a double stroller with two infant car seats and an add-on board is a excellent option. One of the most popular options is the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, that can take all brands of infant car seats and features stadium seating so both kids can see the sights. This model does not "snap" the car seats in position rather, you tie them on using strap nets and the car seat's rim rests on the frame's edge.

Think about a stroller with front and rear wheels that lock to provide better steering on uneven terrain. A padded three-position handle offers the user with comfort and control and the tray for the parent comes with two cup holders and a storage compartment that is covered. Some models come with an oversized basket that can hold more gear.

For those who love the outdoors, a jogging stroller could be a better choice than a standard stroller, however it isn't easy to carry and lift with no designated handle. Some strollers with a jogging feature a hook for attaching an infant car seat, giving parents an additional eight months of walking time, however this could be risky for babies under six months and should be discussed with your pediatrician before trying. BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie, and Thule Urban Glide 2 Double have lightweight folding systems that can be operated using just one hand. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is an excellent choice for outdoor activities. It can accommodate one child in the main seat, or two toddler seats that convert to a bassinet style seating.

Sturdy

A double stroller is an invaluable tool for families who are on moving. It must be sturdy enough to withstand different surfaces, such as the suburban sidewalks and parks trails. It should also be a comfortable fit for toddlers and infants, who may want to explore and sit up. Ideally, it should also allow for multiple seating arrangements to accommodate children of different age groups and fit easily into the trunk of your car.

This versatile tandem stroller made by CYBEX can be used on different terrains. It is compatible with one car seat for infants and includes an adjustable toddler seat. Its adjustable leg and foot rests help keep kids at ease, while its large UPF 50+ canopy as well as peekaboo windows provide both seats with plenty of sun protection. Kids can ride in either seat or take turns standing on the baby bouncer board. The buckles that do not require rethreading were among the easiest to use in our tests, making it simple to get into and out.

Despite being a double stroller, this one is lightweight and compact. It also has plenty of storage space, including a large cargo net under the seats, and a large basket on the top. Parents appreciate the padded handlebars and the way that the seats recline. However, some complain that the seat backs do not fully collapse to the flat position.

A similar lightweight double buggy, barebones tandem stroller is this model from Kolcraft, which weighs less than 23lbs and can accommodate children up to 40 pounds per seat (80 pounds in total). It features large pop-out canopies for real shade, peekaboo windows and an auto-standing folding mechanism that has a carrying handle for easy transport.

This budget-friendly double stroller is the lightest frame that we've test, and it's an excellent choice for families with two kids of similar age. It's not compatible with infant car seats, however it can fit two of the top-rated convertible seats and features an easy cup holder that can be used by each passenger. The seats come with a no-rethread safety harness that is easy and quick to secure. They also have ample storage under the seat without disturbing passengers.

Convenient Storage

The amount of storage that a stroller has is crucial especially when you're carrying around two kids as well as their belongings. Some of our top models come with plenty of storage. They have a huge basket that can be used to store food and adult items. The UPPAbaby's one-hand folding is easy and doesn't cause back pain.

Other models like the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller have less space, but they offer good flexibility at a lower cost. This model can be used with 23 different infant car seats and cradles every seat, which is a huge advantage over other twin frames that simply attach cars to each other and aren't designed to last as long as the car seat for infants.

Parents of twins often choose a tandem stroller that is able to accommodate both infant car seats simultaneously. However these strollers are more expensive and last less when the children get older. For a less expensive option that still works as your twins grow and develop, consider a wagon that's designed to carry both car seats for children and comes with two canopy options and a parent tray that is convenient with cup holders.

It's important that your stroller can handle the weight and movement that your children will be carrying however, you also want them to sit comfortably. Our test participants looked at padding, shoulder strap adjustments that were simple to adjust and buckles that don't require more than one hand to operate. Certain models, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand are equipped with reclining seats that let children sleep comfortably. Other models such as the Joovy Caboose Ultralight graphite and Graco Duet, have seats with only a few recline options.

Another aspect to consider is the location and number 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 a single canopy that has an opening for the rear passenger. It is a good idea to consider this if your child is prone to falling asleep in a specific position. However, it's important to keep in mind that the window will only provide only a small amount of coverage.

Confortable

The most important thing about the stroller you should consider is its comfort. Look for an upholstered, sturdy seat that's large enough for both children and includes reclining positions. The canopy should be large enough to offer shade, and there should be a parent tray with two cup holders. Other helpful features include locking front wheels and an organizer for parents that includes snacks and diaper bags.

The top double strollers for cars also include safety features to help your child feel secure. Choose a model that has a 5-point safety harness which secures your child's shoulders as well as hips, which are among the most rigid parts on their body. This shifts the force of an accident away from the abdomen and into the seat, making this kind of restraint safer than a simple lap belt.

You should also consider how the stroller will fit into your home. Many parents have a limited amount of storage space, so make sure that the stroller will fit into your trunk or closet before you buy it. You should also measure the width of all doors that you'll need to pass through with the stroller opened. Standard doorways are between 30 and 36 inches wide. However, some are narrower.

If you're looking for a low-cost option, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers versatile seating that works with two infant car seats as well as two toddler seats that can face forward or backward. This model is comparable to some of the more expensive double strollers. However, it's much cheaper for families that are growing. Its one-hand-activated fold and front foot break make it easy to maneuver with a padded three-position handle accommodates mom or dad. A handy compartment with a zipper is located underneath the large cargo bin for larger items. The front and rear swivel wheels are equipped with suspension to provide a smooth ride on different terrains. The no-rethread belt makes it easy to fasten your child's seatbelts. It's machine washable and easy to spot clean.
