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 children. One alternative, the Joovy TwinRoo+, allows infant car seats to face either direction and has a sit-and-stand option for older kids.

A baby jogger can be another option for parents looking to take their children on a run journey. Which stroller is best for you?

Easy to Fold

The most comfortable double strollers are simple to fold, whether trying to store them in your car or stow them through the doorway. Most models have an option to push a lever that flips the seat forward and folds it up for storage in a compact twin stroller space. Some models have a handle at the top that can be used to lift the stroller and carry it, while others come with an integrated kickstand to keep the folded stroller upright.

A double stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats as well as an additional riding board is a good option if you have twins or are planning to have more than one child in the future. A popular option is the Baby Trend double umbrella stroller Snap-N-Go, which can accept any brand of infant car seats and has seating in a stadium so that both children can enjoy the sights. This model does not "snap into" the car seats. Instead, you utilize a strap net to secure them. The frame rests against the frame.

Look into strollers with front and rear wheels which lock to allow for better control on terrain that is uneven. A three-position handle that is cushioned provides the user with comfort and control, while the parent tray comes with two cup holders and a covered storage compartment. Some models have larger baskets that can fit more equipment.

For outdoor enthusiasts, a jogging stroller could be a better option than a standard stroller, however, it can be difficult to carry and lift with no handle. Some jogging strollers come with hooks that can be used to attach an infant car seat which can give parents up to eight months of time to walk. However, this can be a risk for babies younger than six months. It is recommended to discuss this with your pediatrician first. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 2 double pram buggy are lightweight and have convenient one-hand, standing folds. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, which can fit two toddlers or a child in the primary seating position is a great option for outdoor activities.

Sturdy

When families are on the move, a double stroller can be an invaluable tool. It should be strong enough to handle different surfaces, including 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 will be able to accommodate different seating arrangements for children at different age groups. It will also fit nicely into the trunk of your vehicle.

This multi-functional tandem stroller from CYBEX is a great choice for tackling many types of terrain. It accepts one car seat for infants and has an adjustable toddler seat. The footrests and legs that are adjustable ensure that children are comfortable. Its UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows and adjustable leg rests provide ample sun protection for both seats. The optional baby bouncer board allows children to ride in either of the seats or stand on it. The harness buckles with no-rethread are among the most simple we've tested, making it easy to get them into and out.

Despite being a double, this stroller is extremely light and compact. It also has plenty of storage space, including a huge cargo net beneath the seats, and a large basket on the top. The cushioned handlebars are popular with parents, but the seat backs do not fully collapse into an upright position.

A similar lightweight, barebones tandem stroller is this model from Kolcraft that weighs less than 23 pounds and can carry children up to 40 lbs per seat (80 pounds total). It comes with nice-sized pop-out canopy which provide shade. It also has windows that can be opened as well as a self-standing fold. It comes with a carrying strap for easy moving around and a 7-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels that have suspension to ensure a smooth ride.

It doesn't work with infant car seats however, it will fit two of the top-rated convertible carseats and has a handy cup holder for both riders. The seats feature an easy-to-use harness that doesn't require rethreading. It's and easy to secure and the ample storage under the car is easily accessible without disturbing your passengers.

Convenient Storage

It's important to take into consideration the amount of storage that a stroller provides, especially if you have two children and their toys. Some of our top picks such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand double buggy that converts to single Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, offer plenty of storage, including a large basket that can be used to store both snacks for children and adult items. The UPPAbaby's one-hand folding system is easy and doesn't strain your back.

Other models, like the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller, have smaller spaces, but offer good range of features for a cheap price. This model is compatible with 23 different infant carseats and cradles every seat. It's a major advantage over other twin frames which simply put the car in place. They aren't built to last as long.

Parents of twins typically opt for a tandem stroller which can accommodate both infant car seats at the same time. However, these strollers are more expensive and last less as children grow. If you're looking for a cost-effective option that will still work when your twins grow older, think about a wagon designed to carry two car seats for your children. It should come with two canopies and an easy-to-use parent tray with cupholders.

It's important that your stroller can handle the weight and the movement your children will be doing, but you also want them to sit comfortably. Our testers searched for padding, a good adjustments to the height of the straps on their shoulders, and simple buckles that don't require two hands to operate. Some models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand have recline seats that allow children to rest comfortably. Others such as the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite and Graco Duet, have seats with only a couple of recline options.

Another aspect to consider is the location and number of sunshades. Some models, like the UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot have two canopy options that cover both seats, and others, like the Joovy Caboose and Graco Duet, have one canopy that has windows that open to let the rear passenger in. It's a good idea if your child is prone to falling asleep in a specific position. However, it's important to remember that the window only provides the bare minimum of coverage.

Confortable

The most important aspect of a stroller to think about is its ease of use. Look for an extremely comfortable, well-padded and sturdy seat that's big enough for both children and includes reclining positions. The canopy should provide enough shade, and the tray for parents should have two cup holders. Other features that are useful include a foot brake, lockable front wheels and a parent organizer that can be used to store snacks and diaper bags.

The best double car seat strollers include safety features to make your child feel safe. Choose a model that has five points of safety harness that holds your child's shoulders and hips - the most rigid parts of their body. This shifts the force of an accident away from the abdomen and towards the seat, making this kind of restraint much safer than a lap belt.

It is also important to consider how the stroller will fit into your home. Many parents have a limited amount of storage space, so be sure that the stroller can fit in your closet or trunk before you buy it. It is also important to take measurements of the width of any doors that you'll have to go through with the stroller open. Doors that are standard size are 30 to 36 inches wide, but some are a bit narrower.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers an adjustable seating option that can work with two infant car seats and two modified toddler seats that can face forward or backward. This model is similar to a few higher-end double car seat strollers, however, it's much more affordable for many families that are growing. The one-hand fold and front foot brake make it easy to maneuver, while the 3-position handle that is padded is suitable for mom and dad. The large cargo basket is a practical back zippered compartment that can be used to access larger items. The rear and front swivel wheels have suspension to provide an easy ride on all terrains. In addition, the harness with no rethread makes it easy and quick to secure your child's seat belts. It's machine washable and easy to spot clean.
