Buying Guide For Double Strollers

A double stroller is an excellent investment when you have two kids of similar ages. These narrow tandem buggies or flexible side by side buggies will keep both children in the same place while navigating the grocery aisle or in parks, or whatever else life can throw at you.

Comfort

Comfort is an important factor to think about when purchasing a double-stroller. This includes both the seating arrangements and the overall size of the stroller which can impact the accessibility and storage. "Parents must determine what the stroller weighs and its dimensions folded," says child development expert and mom Katie Billingsley of Fourth Trimester Postnatal Retreat. "They should also think about the recline options for seats and the ages of their children to ensure it's a perfect fit."

A good double stroller will be sturdy enough to traverse all surfaces without difficulty, from urban sidewalks to parks trails, and from infant car seats to toddler booster seats. It should also offer versatile seating arrangements for children of different ages and comfort features like windows that peek out and adjustable canopy to keep kids shielded from rain or sun.

For a majority of families, a double stroller is likely to be utilized from birth until childhood, so it's important to think about seating options. "There are two main categories: in-line with one seat in front of the other, and side by side with seats that are next to each other," Billingsley explains. Some parents prefer the in-line model due to its sleek design and flexibility. Others like the wagon style double stroller to make the most space for bulky or grocery items.

While some products may have different recline options - with one seat nearly flat while the other remains relatively upright, this type of distinction is more common in the in-line models. Billingsley recommends choosing a product that offers both a near-flat recline and leg rest adjustments for both seats, so that both children can lie back 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 out and about. She also recommends that it is helpful to find a stroller that includes a parent console or organizer bag that is attached to the handlebars. This can help parents keep essentials close to hand.

Some of the top-rated double strollers are expandable which allows parents to alter the layout to meet the needs of their growing family. The Mockingbird Expandable, for example is a highly rated double stroller which can be used from birth with just one seat, and then converted into a tandem (with two seats and a bassinet) when the child is older.

Safety

Double strollers must be able to handle the weight of two adults, as well as any additional cargo. Strollers must be able to move and push, particularly on difficult terrain and in tight spaces. The best strollers come with ergonomic handlebars with adjustable heights to ensure that parents maintain a good form when pushing them. A no-rethread harness which makes the adjustment of seat belts more quickly and easily, is another nice feature to look out for. Safety features include a sturdy brake system, as well as wheels that slide over any surface.

Some parents opt for a side by side design so that both children can see each other during family outings. This arrangement can prevent sibling rivalries over who gets to sit where, but it's not foolproof. If the seats are different heights, a child may punch or kick another during a walk if the seats are at different levels.

For parents of twins or siblings close in age, a tandem stroller is a great option for being able to view both children at the same time. However, they can be larger than other double strollers, and they may not be able to fit through all interior doorways. Consider a single-to double stroller that can be transformed from a single stroller to a double in many ways. The most popular models are the CYBEX gazelle S.

If you opt for a side-byside or tandem double stroller-style stroller, be sure the product is certified by JPMA to meet the strictest safety standards. Be sure to check the maximum weight limits for each seat, as exceeding them could result in frame fatigue or other issues.

It's easy to be swept up in the bells and whistles, however it's important to remember that strollers are basically baby carriers that are used for extended time. It should be easy to clean and maintain, and comfortable for both passengers. It should also feature a an easy-to-use, familiar design that lets the person pushing it to easily maneuver it.

Easy to Use

For families that are on the move, a double stroller should be easy to maneuver over various terrains. Features like adjustable canopy systems, peek-aboo windows and dependable brake systems are essential to ensure the safety of your children, but there are many other aspects that influence stroller comfort of use. A stroller must be compact enough to fit into the trunk of your car and still provide plenty of storage space for groceries or other items. Additionally, you should consider thoughtful features like a one-parent cup holder or console for parents, as well as an eating tray for children -- all things that make life with two kids significantly simpler.

During our testing, we evaluated each stroller based on how it did on a variety of terrains, and how easily it maneuvered in tight spaces. We also considered how easy it was to fold the twin stroller side by side (url) and unfold it, and if a particular feature enhanced the overall functionality. For instance a stroller with a harness that does not rethread makes the adjustment of the seat belts easy and quick. This is a huge attraction for parents who are always on the move, as it removes the need to rethread their harness.

The UPPAbaby V2 Double scored well in this metric as it came with a variety of seating configurations and additional accessories that accommodated growing families. The double-stroller that looks like a wagon expands so that it can accommodate a second seat, bassinet, or even a toddler-riding board. This is ideal for families that plan to spend long hours traveling with several children of different ages. It also glides smoothly over pavement, cobblestones and ballfields--and it folds flat to make easy storage in a trunk or closet. The design of this stroller is easy and easy to use, which was appreciated by our tester Kerry. The smart packaging with clearly marked sections as well as a the user's guide made it simple to put together this stroller.

Stores

Double strollers can hold twice as much as a single one So, make sure to look for plenty of storage space. You want a stroller with enough storage space to store the essentials for both parents and children including bottles and snacks, toys, and diapers. Look for baskets and pockets under the seats. Also, think about a stroller that has an expandable cargo area to accommodate bulky items such as lunch bags and diaper bags.

A good double stroller will be able to adapt to the needs of your family. For instance certain models have the bassinet attachment, which can accommodate infants, while others come with child seats that can grow with your children until they're able to ride on the back of the stroller, Billingsley says. Some double strollers include a rider board that allows older children to join in the fun.

While shopping, take a look at user reviews and recommendations from families just like yours to get an idea of what to expect with the double stroller you select.

Double strollers are available in three different designs: tandem, side-by-side and wagon style. Side-by-side double strollers offer the most versatility and are suitable for twins or kids similar in age, Billingsley explains. Tandem double strollers have two seats arranged in tandem facing in opposite directions. This is a good option for children who are similar age or siblings who like to be social with one another. Tandem strollers are more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces, and less likely to fit in doors.
