Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat A double stroller with infant car seat is a necessity for twins or two children of close age. When you're planning to buy a stroller, consider your budget and the length of time you plan to utilize it. Kate says she was pleased with the fact that the stroller is light and maneuvers well. She also liked the ease with which it folded, but found the buckles that are magnetic difficult to secure. Size Size is an important aspect to take into consideration when selecting a double stroller with a car seat for your baby. Parents must be able to maneuver the stroller easily in the midst of crowded sidewalks and narrow subway gates, which means that it should be fairly small and compact. Additionally, the stroller should be easy to fold and small enough to fit into the trunk of a car or a smaller vehicle for storage. Consider a double stroller that includes two seats and can accommodate a car seat for an infant in the event that you plan to have twins or children that are close in age. These models will be more expensive than other double strollers however, they come with an extended stroller life and can be used into toddlerhood, or even after. Our top choice is the UPPAbaby V2 Double, has a variety of seating options. It can accommodate two infant seats or toddler seats that can be converted into bassinets. We also like strollers that work with many different infant car seats, as this offers more strollers for families to pick from. For instance the UPPAbaby Vista can work with the UPPAbaby Mesa as well as other infant car seats with adapters, and it works with the Baby Jogger Glider Board for a third, standing passenger. Many parents buy a double or single stroller that can be modified to accommodate an additional child. We recommend buying the items you require right now. A second child could arrive later than you expect or your primary child might not be a fan of walking. Furthermore, the style of seating on a double stroller and baby car seats can affect siblings, particularly for kids that are very close in age. Weight Double strollers weigh more than single strollers. Double strollers come with two seats, and carry more cargo. The weight of the stroller is therefore heavier. This weight is important to consider when deciding on the best model, especially when you intend to use it for long walks or jogging. The best models will be able to handle the extra weight without movement and swinging. It is also important to consider the long-term durability of double-strollers. The top strollers are constructed better and have more seating configurations which means they last longer than their lower-cost counterparts. The double bundle from Joovy, for instance, accepts adapters to fit two infant car seats and can accommodate a third rider via a bassinet that connects. This configuration can work for twins, kids with different ages, or siblings that have a gap in age. The Baby Trend Double Snap N'Go is an excellent alternative for parents on a tight budget, as it can be transformed into a tandem stroller (single file) and accepts two infant car seats. It is lightweight and compact making it easy to maneuver even with the additional weight. Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double. It's similar to models that have won awards, but are more expensive and offers various seating options. Its side-byside seat design makes it suitable for twins or kids of varying ages, and it can be customized with accessories like dual canopy, twin bassinets or modified seats that double as toddler seats. It is also easy to fold and has a tiny footprint, making it easier to fit into a trunk. The stroller isn't designed to be used until children are able sit without assistance, so infants younger than that will need to be carried or seated in a car seat. Convenience It's simpler and less stressful to take your family on a trip if you transfer your infant car seat seamlessly from the vehicle to the stroller. You can simply click the seat into place and move the stroller without folding it while holding a baby or a toddler. This is particularly useful for long journeys in which you do not need to unbuckle or buckle your child every few minutes. Parents with twins often choose a travel system that can accommodate two infant car seats at the same time. The Graco Fast Action Flip offers this feature, and includes the option of a bench seat that could be used by older siblings. However, it doesn't work with all types of infant car seats, and it's a bit heavy for some families. Some parents prefer a double stroller that has an integrated car seat adapter that works with all major infant car seats. The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo is a great option and comes at a very friendly price for what you get. While it's not the ideal double stroller for twins in the infant stage (it only works with one) It can work well for many families and is a good choice if you're hoping to make a purchase that is a one-and-done deal. Some double strollers feature a more complex process for attaching and disconnecting the car seat. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double, for example, requires you to push down, and then hear an audible click to confirm it's secured properly. It's more difficult to use in parking lots particularly when you have hungry or exhausted children. It can be a bit more difficult to use with the family, we don't believe it's the best choice for parents with twins since you'll need to buy a separate toddler seat when your kids are old enough to use it. Durability A double stroller with an infant car seat should be built to last and have longevity. It should also be a good fit for your budget and lifestyle whether you plan to use it for few years or more. When you are making a purchase, consider the fabric of the stroller as well as its components, like its tires. Choose a stroller with a large and deep storage basket that can hold plenty of diapers, food items and other items. A spacious parent console and cup holders are helpful, as is a sun canopy that provides plenty of coverage. Make sure the stroller can handle off-road terrain as well as narrow city sidewalks. Parents with twins may want a stroller that is side by side to ensure the same access and view to both children. Parents with children of different ages may choose a tandem stroller that allows the rear child's seat to be adjusted by raising or lowering it. Tandem strollers are typically larger than single strollers however, and can cause sibling rivalries in the event that the seats are different heights. A stroller with an adjustable handlebar allows you to adjust the height to your liking. Also, a one-hand folding mechanism is useful. A compact footprint is another feature to think about. It should easily fit in your trunk, and require minimal storage space. A modular stroller like the CYBEX Gazelle S provides unparalleled flexibility and allows you to mix and match seating units as well as cot attachments for twins, multiples, or single riders of various ages. The sturdy construction and flexibility in seating arrangements make it a worthwhile investment if you are planning to keep it for a number of years to come. Safety A good stroller should be safe for children riding in the seats as well as the parent pushing them. twin umbrella stroller recommends looking for strollers with ergonomic handlebars, brakes that are easy to use and an adjustable seat harness. She also suggests avoiding accessories that add to the burden of a stroller like ride-on boards or extra child seats. A double stroller should be strong enough to withstand a variety surfaces including suburban sidewalks, park trails to paved roads. It should be sturdy enough to move over curbs and bumps with ease, but also flexible to maneuver over a steep incline or climbing and descending stairways. It should also be able to fold and fit into the trunk of a car, without restricting its size or maneuverability. Parents with twins or siblings who are close in age might be looking at a stroller that can fit two infant car seats. This lets them transfer sleeping children from the car to the stroller without them having to wake up. Many of our top-scoring strollers are compatible with two car seats for infants like the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double and the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double. Another alternative is the joovy Qool double bundle, which works with two infant car seats (car seat adapters are sold separately) and comes with an extra rumble seat that converts into a second one when your children outgrow their car seat. It offers stadium-style seating with plenty of room for legs and is able to be set to let your kids face each other or the world. It's not able to accommodate two bassinets or an infant car seat or riding board at the same time but it's an excellent option for families with several young children.
