Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat A double stroller with infant car seat is essential for twins or two children with similar ages. If you're considering buying a stroller, think about your budget and the length of time you'll utilize it. Kate loved that the stroller was light and easy to maneuver. She also appreciated the fact that it folds easily, although she found the buckles with magnetic buckles difficult to secure. Size When choosing a double stroller with baby car seats, size is a crucial factor to take into consideration. The stroller should be compact and slim enough parents can easily maneuver it through crowded sidewalks or through narrow subway gates. Additionally the stroller must be compact and easy to fold enough to fit in a trunk or smaller vehicle to store. If you're planning on having twins or children very similar in age, you should consider purchasing a double stroller that has two seats that can accommodate infant car seats. Double strollers are more expensive, but they have a longer life and can be used up to the age of toddler or even beyond. For example our top choice is the UPPAbaby Vista Double comes with a wide variety of seating configurations and can accept two infant car seats or toddler seats that convert into bassinets. We also like strollers that are compatible with different brands of infant car seats, as this offers a wider selection of models for families to choose from. For example the UPPAbaby Vista can accept the UPPAbaby Mesa and several other infant car seats using adapters, and it can be used with the Baby Jogger Glider Board for a third, standing passenger. Many parents buy a single to double stroller that can be modified to accommodate an additional child. We recommend buying what you need now. You might have an additional child arrive later than expected or your child may not be capable of walking. Furthermore, the style of seating in a double stroller that includes an infant car seat can make or break siblings, particularly for kids that are very close in age. Weight Double strollers weigh more than single strollers. Double strollers have two seats, and they carry more cargo. The weight of the stroller is therefore heavier. It is important to consider this weight when deciding on your preferred model, especially if you'll be using it for long walks or jogs. The most effective models are designed to handle the extra load with the least amount of flexing or shifting. You should also think about the longevity of a double-stroller. The higher-end models offer a quality build and seating configuration versatility that indicates they'll last longer than budget-friendly competitors. The joovy Qool double bundle is a good example. It accepts car seat adapters for two infant car seats and can accommodate a second passenger by attaching a bassinet. This configuration is ideal for twins or children of different ages, or siblings that have gaps between them. The Baby Trend Double Snap N'Go is a good choice for parents on a budget because it can be transformed into a tandem stroller (single file) and accepts two infant car seat. 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 comparable to more expensive award winners and can accommodate multiple seating configurations for kids of different ages and stages. Its side by side seat design is able to accommodate twins or children of various ages. It can also be customized with add ons such as twin bassinets with dual canopies. The stroller can be folded easily and has a small footprint, making it easier to fit into the trunk. It's not intended to be used until kids are able to sit without assistance, so younger babies will require a carry or placed in a car seat. Convenience It's easier and less stressful to take your family on a vacation when you can transfer your infant's car seat effortlessly from the vehicle to the stroller. You can easily click the seat into place and move the stroller without having to fold it while holding a baby and a toddler. This is particularly useful during long trips, where you don't need to unbuckle or change your child's buckle every few minutes. Many parents with twins opt for a travel system which can accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously. The Graco Fast Action Flip, for instance, has this capability and comes with the added benefit of having a bench seat for older siblings. However, it doesn't work with all kinds of infant car seats, and it's a little heavy for certain families. Other parents would prefer double strollers with a built-in car seat adapter that is compatible with the majority of infant car seats. The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo is an excellent option and comes at a price that is very reasonable for what you get. It's not the best double-stroller for twins because it can only work with one. However it's a great option for many families. Other double strollers require a more intricate procedure to attach and remove the car seat. For example the UPPAbaby Vist v2 double requires you to press down, and then hear a loud clicking sound for confirmation that it's secured properly. It's a bit more difficult to use in a parking garage particularly if your kids are tired or hungry. While it will grow with your family, we don't consider it the best option for parents of twins. You will have to purchase a separate toddler chair when your children reach an age. Durability A double stroller that includes an infant car seat should be sturdy and built for long-term use. It should also fit your lifestyle and budget, whether you plan to use it for just a few years or more. Be sure to consider the quality of the fabric and its components, including its tires, before making your purchase. A stroller that has a large and deep basket is able to hold plenty of diapers, groceries, and other supplies. A large console for parents and cup holders are also helpful, as is a sun canopy that gives ample coverage. Also, make sure the stroller is able to manage off-road terrain and narrow city sidewalks. Parents with twins may want a stroller that is side by side 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 lowered or raised. Tandem strollers weigh more than single strollers and can cause siblings to fight if they are equipped with seats of different heights. A stroller that has an adjustable handlebar allows you to adjust the height to suit your preferences. Also, a one-hand folding mechanism is useful. Another feature to look for is a compact footprint that fits comfortably in your trunk and requires minimal storage space. A modular stroller, like the CYBEX Gazelle is a model that offers unbeatable flexibility. You can mix and match the seating units and cots to accommodate twins, multiples or a single child of varying age groups. This high-end model's durable construction and the flexibility of seating arrangements make it a worthwhile purchase if you intend to keep it for many years to come. Safety A safe stroller is secure for the child sitting in the seat, as well as for the parent pushing it. Certified child passenger safety technician Alli Cavasino suggests looking for a stroller with ergonomic handlebars, easy-to-use brakes and a seat harness that is adjustable. She also suggests avoiding accessories that add weight of a child's stroller such as ride-on boards or extra child seats. A double stroller needs to be sturdy enough to maneuver various surfaces with ease, from suburban sidewalks to parks trails. It should be sturdy enough to handle bumps and curbs easily and yet flexible enough to climb stairs or negotiate steep slopes. It should also be able to fold and fit into the trunk of a vehicle without compromising its size or maneuverability. Parents of twins or children close in age will want to consider a stroller that accommodates two infant car seats. This will allow them to have the ability to move sleepy children from the car to a stroller without waking them. A majority of our top-scoring strollers are compatible with a two infant car seats, such as the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double or the UPPAbaby vista v2 Double. Another alternative is the joovy Qool double bundle, which can be used with two infant car seats (car seat adapters sold separately) and comes with an add-on Rumble seat that can be converted into a second seat when your children are old enough for their car seat. It comes with stadium seating that has plenty of leg room and can be configured so that your kids are facing each other or the world. It is not able to accommodate two bassinets, a baby car seat, and a riding board simultaneously. However, it is a great choice for families with several young children.
