Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat A double stroller that includes an infant car seat can be essential for twins or kids with similar age. If you're planning to purchase one, you must take into consideration your budget and how long you're planning to use the stroller for. Kate says she likes the fact that the stroller is light and maneuvers well. She also liked the fact that it folds up easily, but she did find the buckles magnetic difficult to fasten. Size When choosing a double stroller that includes an infant car seat the size is a major factor to take into consideration. The stroller should be compact and slim so parents can easily maneuver it on crowded sidewalks or through narrow subway gates. The stroller must also be compact and easy to fold, to fit into the trunk of a small vehicle. Consider a double stroller that has two seats and is able to accommodate a car seat for an infant when you plan to have twins or children who are similar in age. These models will be more expensive than other double strollers however they offer an extended stroller life and can be used through toddlerhood or even beyond. For instance, our top pick the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double comes with a wide variety of seating options and can accommodate two infant car seats or toddler seats that can be converted into bassinets. We also prefer strollers that are compatible with a range of infant car seat brands. This gives parents a greater variety to pick from. For instance the UPPAbaby Vista can accept the UPPAbaby Mesa and several other infant car seats using adapters. It also is compatible with the Baby Jogger Glider Board for a third, standing passenger. Some parents opt to purchase a single-to-double stroller that can adapt to the needs of a second child, but we recommend buying what you need at the right time. You may have a second child arrive later than you expected or your first child may not be able to walk. Additionally, the type of seating in a double stroller and infant car seat can affect sibling relations, especially for children who are close in age. Weight Double strollers tend to be heavier than single models. Double strollers have two seats, and they carry more cargo. The weight of the stroller will be heavier. It's crucial to take into account this weight when you're deciding on your preferred model, especially if you'll be using it for long jogs or walks. The best models are well-engineered to handle the additional load with minimal movement or shifting. It's also worth weighing the price of a double stroller versus its longevity. The higher-end strollers are built better and have more seating configuration options and will last longer than their budget-friendly counterparts. The joovy qool double-bundle, for example, accepts car seat adapters for two infant car seats and can accommodate a second rider via an attachable bassinet. This configuration can work for twins, children of different ages, or siblings who have an age gap. Parents on a budget might consider the Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go an attractive option, as it accepts two infant car seats and can be converted into a tandem (single-file) stroller. It's lightweight and compact making it easy to maneuver, even with the extra weight. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another budget-friendly alternative. It's similar to higher-priced award winners and offers a variety of seating options for children of different ages and stages. Its side-by-side seat design is able to accommodate twins or children of different age groups. It can also be customized by adding additional features like twin bassinets or dual canopies. The stroller is able to fold in a quick fold and a small footprint that makes it easier to fit into the trunk. It's not intended to be used until kids can sit up without assistance the younger ones will need to be carried or put in a car seat. Convenience It is easy to transfer your infant car seat from the car to the stroller can make family outings simpler and less stressful. You can click the seat in place and move the stroller without having to fold it while holding a baby and a toddler. This is a fantastic option for long journeys, especially when you don't want to unbuckle and buckle your child every few minutes. Many parents with twins choose a travel system which can accommodate two infants in the car seat simultaneously. The Graco Fast Action Flip offers this feature, and includes a bench seat that can 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 with an integrated car seat adapter, which works with all the major infant car safety seats. The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo is a great option and comes at a price that is very reasonable for what you get. It's not the best double-stroller for twins since it works with one. However, it's a good choice for a lot of families. Some double strollers feature an even more complicated process for attaching and detaching the car seat. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double, for example, requires that you push down and then hear a loud click to ensure it's properly secured. It's a bit more difficult to use in a parking lot particularly if your kids are hungry or tired. While it will grow with your family, we don't consider it the best option for parents of twins. You'll have purchase an additional toddler chair once your children are old enough. Durability A double stroller with infant car seat needs to be durable and built to last. It should also fit your budget and lifestyle whether you intend to use it for only a few years or more. Consider the quality of the stroller's fabric and the components, including the tires, before making your purchase. Choose a stroller with a large and deep storage basket that can accommodate plenty of groceries, diapers and other items. A large console for parents and cup holders are useful and so 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 with twins may want a side-by-side stroller to allow equal access and visibility for both children. Others with children of different ages could opt for a tandem stroller that allows the rear child's seat to be raised or lower. Tandem strollers are generally larger than single strollers however, and they can cause sibling rivalries when the seats are set at different heights. A stroller that has an adjustable handlebar allows you to adjust the height to suit your needs. Also having a one-hand folding mechanism is useful. Another feature to look for is a compact footprint that can easily fit in your trunk and requires only a small amount of storage space. A modular stroller such as the CYBEX Gazelle S provides unbeatable flexibility that lets you mix and match seating units and cot attachments for multiples, twins or a single rider of varying age. Its sturdy construction and seating configuration versatility make it clear that this top-of-the-line model is well worth the cost if you're planning to keep it for a long time. Safety A quality stroller must be safe for the children riding in the seats as well as the parent pushing them. Alli Cavasino is a certified child passenger safety specialist, suggests you look for a stroller with ergonomic handlebars, with simple-to-use breaks and an adjustable harness. double pram pushchair suggests avoiding any accessories that increase the weight of a child's stroller such as ride-on boards or extra child seats. A double stroller must be strong enough to handle different surfaces, from suburban sidewalks and parks trails to roads that are paved. It should be sturdy enough to withstand curbs and bumps easily, but also flexible for navigating a steep incline or up and down stairways. In addition, it should be simple to fold and fit into a trunk of a car without sacrificing its size or mobility. Parents with twins or siblings who are close in age might need to think about a stroller that accommodates two car seats for infants. This will give them the ability to move sleepy children from the car to the stroller without disturbing them up. Many of our best-scoring strollers are compatible with a two infant car seat, including the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double or the UPPAbaby vista V2 Double. The double bundle from Joovy is another alternative. It comes with two infant car seats and an add-on rumble chair that can be transformed into a second seat once your children are no longer in the car seat. It comes with stadium seating that has plenty of leg room and can be set up so that your kids are facing each other or the world. It can't accommodate two bassinets, an infant car seat, or riding boards simultaneously. However, it is a great choice for families with a lot of young children.
