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

A double car seat stroller; experienced, is a must-have for twins or two young kids. One option is the Joovy TwinRoo+, allows infant car seats to face either way and has a sit-and-stand option for older children.

A baby jogger is a different option for parents looking to take their children on a running journey. But which stroller is right for you?

Easy to Fold

The most reliable double strollers fold easily, whether you are trying to squeeze them into your car or in a narrow entrance. Most models have an option lever that allows you to fold the base and flip the seat back. Some also have a handle on 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 use it again.

A double stroller that is able to accommodate two infant car seats as well as an additional riding board is a great option if you have twins or plan to have more than one child in the future. The Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go is a popular option. It is compatible with all infant car seats and features stadium seating for both children to take in the sights. This model does not "snap into" the car seats. Instead you use a strap net to secure the seats. The rim of the seat rests against the frame.

Consider a stroller that has the rear and front wheels that lock to allow for better control on terrain that is uneven. The parent tray has two cup holders, a covered storage space, and a padded handle with three positions for comfort and control. Some models have bigger baskets that can accommodate more equipment.

For those who enjoy outdoor activities A jogging stroller might be a better option than a standard stroller, however it isn't easy to lift and carry with no handle. Some jogging strollers come with hooks to connect an infant car seat which gives parents up to eight months of walking time. However, this could be a risk for babies less than six months old. 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 operated with one hand. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is also a great option for outdoor activities. It is able to accommodate one child in the main seat, or two toddler seats that can be converted to bassinet-style seating.

Sturdy

A double stroller is an invaluable tool for families who are on the move. It must be robust enough to travel over various surfaces with ease from suburban sidewalks to park trails, and comfortable for infants who may require a flat seat or toddlers who prefer to sit up and explore. Ideally, it should be able of accommodating various seating arrangements for children at different age groups. It will also fit nicely into the trunk of your vehicle.

This versatile tandem stroller by CYBEX can be used on a variety of terrains. It has a recliner seat for toddlers and is compatible with an infant car seat. The footrests and leg rests are adjustable to ensure that children are in a comfortable position. Its generous UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows as well as the adjustable leg rests offer plenty of sun protection for both seats. The optional baby bouncer board lets kids ride in either seat or stand on it. The harness buckles that do not require rethreading are among the most simple in our tests making it easy to get them in and out.

Despite being a double buggy for twins, this stroller is lightweight and compact. The stroller is packed with plenty of storage space, including a massive cargo net under the seats and a large bag on top. Parents are awed by the padded handlebars as well as the way that the seats recline, but some complain that the seat backs aren't able to fully collapse into an entirely flat position.

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

This double stroller that is budget-friendly is the lightest we've tested. It's a great option for families who have two children of similar age.

The seats come with a no-rethread safety harness that is quick and easy to secure. They also come with plenty of storage underneath the seat without disturbing passengers.

Convenient Storage

The amount of storage a stroller has is crucial particularly when you're carrying around two kids as well as their belongings. Some of our favorites come with plenty of storage. They have a huge basket that can accommodate 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 buggy converts to single Stroller are smaller in space, but they offer good flexibility at a low cost. This model is compatible with 23 different infant car seats and can be used to cradle every seat. It's a big advantage over other twin stroller with car seats frames which simply strap the car into the car. They're not designed to last as long.

Many parents of twins choose tandem strollers that can take care of both infant car seats at the same time However, these strollers typically cost more than single strollers, and have shorter life spans as children grow out of them. For a less expensive option that can still function when your twins get bigger choose a wagon that's designed to transport both car seats and features dual canopies and a handy tray for parents with cup holders.

While it's important to ensure that your stroller is capable of handling all the weight and motion that you'll be putting on it, you'll also want to ensure your children are able to sit comfortably. Our testers looked at padding, shoulder straps that were easy to adjust, and buckles that didn't need more than one hand to operate. Some models, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Evenflo Pivot Xpand have reclining seats, which allow children to snooze in comfort. Other models, such as the Joovy Cabose Ultralight Graphite and Graco Duet have seats with very few recline options.

Another feature to consider is the number and position of sunshades. Some models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 or Evenflo Pivot have dual canopies that cover both seats. Others, like the Joovy Caboose or Graco Duet have a single canopy that has a window for the rear passenger. It is a good idea to consider this if your child is known to fall asleep in a specific position. But it's important to keep in mind that the window will only provide minimal coverage.

Comfortable

The most important thing about a stroller to consider is its ease of use. Choose a sturdy, well-padded seat that's large enough to accommodate both children and includes reclining positions. The canopy should offer enough shade and the parent tray should include two cup holders. Other features to consider include the foot brake, lockable front wheels, and a parent organizer that can hold diaper bags and snacks.

The top double car seat strollers also offer safety features that ensure your children are safe. Select a stroller with five-point harnesses that hold your child's hips and shoulders, the most rigid parts of their body. This type of restraint is safer than a lap belt as it shifts the force from an accident away and into the seat.

It is also important to consider how the stroller will fit in your home. Many parents have a limited amount of storage space, so make sure that the stroller fits in your trunk or closet before you purchase it. You should also measure any doorways you will need to pass through while the stroller is open. Doors that are standard are between 30 and 36 inches wide. However there are some that are wider.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly option this model is a good choice. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers versatile seating that works with two infant car seats as well as two toddler seats that can be oriented backward or forward. It's comparable to some of the higher-end double strollers. However, it's much more affordable for families with growing children. Its fold-up feature that is activated by one hand and a front foot break make it easy to maneuver with a padded three-position handle is able to accommodate dad or mom. A convenient compartment that is zippered is situated beneath the large cargo basket for larger items. The rear and front swivels have suspension to provide an easy ride on all terrains. Plus, the no-rethread harness allows you to quickly and easily to secure your children's seat belts. It's machine washable and simple to spot clean, too.
