Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat A double stroller that includes an infant car seat is a necessity for twins or two kids who are close in age. If you plan to buy one, you must think about your budget and the length of time you hope to use the stroller. Kate says she likes the fact that the stroller is light and maneuvers well. She also appreciated how easily it folded, but she found the magnetic buckles difficult to fasten. Size When selecting a double stroller that includes an infant car seat, size is a crucial aspect to consider. Parents must be able maneuver the stroller easily in busy sidewalks and through narrow subway gates, which means that it should be fairly slim and compact. The stroller should also be small and easy to fold so that it can fit in a vehicle trunk or small vehicles. Consider a double stroller that includes two seats and can accommodate a car seat for an infant if you are planning to have twins or children that are similar in age. These double strollers cost more, but they have a longer life and can be used up to the age of toddler or even beyond. Our top choice, the UPPAbaby V2 Double, comes with a variety of seating configurations. It can be used with two infant seats or toddler seats that convert into bassinets. We also love strollers that are compatible with different infant car seats which means that there is more strollers for families to pick from. For instance the UPPAbaby Vista can accept the UPPAbaby Mesa as well as other infant car seats that have adapters. It also works with the Baby Jogger Glider Board for the third, standing person. double pushchairs Push Chairs And Prams choose to buy a stroller that is single-to-double and can be adapted to the needs of a second child, but we recommend buying what you need at the time. You might have an additional child arrive later than expected or your child might not be in a position to walk. Furthermore, the style of seating on a double stroller with infant car seat can make or break siblings' relationships, especially for kids that are very close in age. Weight Double strollers tend to be heavier than single models. They have two seats as well as more cargo, which means the weight of the final push is higher. This is a factor to take into consideration when selecting the best model, especially if you plan on using it for long walks and jogs. The most effective models can handle the extra weight without flexing and swinging. It's also worth weighing the price of a double stroller in relation to its durability. The higher-end strollers are built better and come with more seating configurations and will last longer than their budget-friendly counterparts. The joovy qool double bundle is a good example. It accepts car seat adapters for two infant carseats and can accommodate a second passenger through an attachable bassinet. This configuration can work for twins, children of different ages, or siblings who have an age gap. Budget-conscious parents may 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 light and compact, making it easy to maneuver, even with the additional weight. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another budget-friendly option. It's similar to higher-priced award winners and supports multiple seating configurations for kids with different ages and stage. Its side-byside seat design makes it suitable for twins or children with varying ages. Additionally, it can be customized with accessories such as dual canopies, twin bassinets or modified seats that act as toddler seats. This versatile stroller also has a quick fold and a small footprint, making it easier to fit in a trunk. The stroller isn't designed to be used until children are able to sit up without assistance, so infants younger than that require assistance or put in a car seat. Convenience Seamlessly transferring your infant car seat from the vehicle into the stroller can make family trips simpler and less stressful. You can simply click the seat into position and move the stroller without having to fold it while holding a baby and a toddler. This feature is particularly helpful for long trips where you don't need to unbuckle or change your child's buckle every few minutes. Many parents with twins choose an option that can accommodate two infants in a car seats at the same time. The Graco Fast Action Flip, for instance, has this functionality and has the added benefit of a bench seat for 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 that works with the majority of infant car safety seats. The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo is an excellent option and is available at a price that is very reasonable for what you get. While it's not the best double stroller for infant twins (it only works with one), it can work well for a wide range of families and is a great option for those looking for a one-and-done purchase. Other double strollers have an even more complicated process for attaching and disconnecting the car seat. The UPPAbaby Vist Double, for example, requires that you push down and then hear an audible click to confirm it's secured properly. It's a little more challenging to use in a parking garage particularly if your kids are hungry or tired. And while it does grow with the family, we don't believe it's the best option for parents with twins since you'll need to buy a separate toddler seat when your children are old enough for it. Durability A double stroller that includes an infant car seat must be built to last and have long-term use. It should also be a good fit for your lifestyle and budget, whether you plan to use it for just few years or more. Take into consideration the quality of the stroller's fabric and its components, including the tires, when making your purchase. A stroller with a big and deep basket is able to hold plenty of diapers, groceries, and other things. A spacious parent console and cup holders are also useful as is an umbrella sunshade that offers plenty of coverage. Also, ensure that the stroller is able handle off-road terrain and navigate narrow city sidewalks. Parents of twins might prefer a side-by-side stroller for the same level of visibility and accessibility to both children. However, those with children of different ages might prefer the tandem model, which allows the rear child to be raised or lowered. Tandem strollers are typically larger than single strollers however, they could cause sibling fights in the event that the seats are different heights. A stroller with an adjustable handlebar can allow you to adjust the height to suit your needs. Also, a one-hand folding mechanism is convenient. A compact footprint is a further feature to think about. It should easily fit in your trunk and require minimal storage space. A modular stroller such as the CYBEX Gazelle S provides unbeatable flexibility, allowing you to mix and match seating units as well as cot attachments for multiples, twins, or single riders of various ages. This high-end model's durable construction and the flexibility of seating arrangements make it a worthy investment if you plan to keep it for several years. Safety A quality stroller must be safe for children who are in the seat as well as the parent pushing them. Certified child passenger safety technician Alli Cavasino suggests choosing a stroller with ergonomic handlebars, easy-to-use brakes and an adjustable seat harness. She also suggests avoiding accessories that add weight of a child's stroller, like ride-on boards and additional child seats. A double stroller must be sturdy enough to navigate different surfaces easily from suburban sidewalks to parks trails. It should be sturdy enough to traverse curbs and bumps easily, but also flexible to maneuver over a steep incline or a staircase that goes up and down. It should also be simple to fold and fit into the trunk of a vehicle without compromising its size or maneuverability. Parents of twins or siblings who are similar in age might want to consider a double stroller which can accommodate two car seats for infants. This lets them transfer asleep children from the car to the stroller without having them wake up. A majority of our top-scoring strollers can be used with two infant car seats such as the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double. Another option is the joovy qool double bundle, which works with two infant car seats (car seat adapters sold separately) and comes with an extra rumble seat that converts into a second one when your kids outgrow their car seat. It features a stadium-style seating arrangement with ample space for legs and can be configured to let your kids meet each other and the world. It's not able for two bassinets or an infant car seat and riding board at the same time but it's an excellent choice for families with multiple young children.
