Buying Guide For Double Strollers

If you have two kids who are similar in age, a double stroller could be a great investment. These narrow tandem buggies as well as versatile side by side buggies will keep both children within sight when you are navigating the aisles of your grocery store and parks, as well as whatever else life can throw at you.

Comfort

Comfort is an important factor to take into consideration when buying a double-stroller. This can include the seating arrangement as well as the overall size, which will have an impact on the ease of use and storage. Katie Billingsley, a child expert in development from the Fourth Trimester Postnatal Retreat, suggests parents be aware of the stroller's weight and folded dimensions. "They should also consider the options for recline and seat age ranges to ensure a perfect fit for their family."

A quality double stroller should be able to handle different surfaces with ease from suburban sidewalks to parks, and from toddler booster seats to infant car seats. It should also have flexible seating options for children of different age groups and comfort features such as windows that can be opened and closed to protect children from sun or rain.

The seating options are important to many families who will utilize a double stroller from birth to the age of. "There are two main categories: in-line with one seat in front of the other, and side-by-side with seats adjacent to each other," Billingsley explains. "Some parents prefer an in-line stroller due to its sleek appearance and versatility, whereas others like a wagon-style double stroller to make the most space for large items or grocery bags."

In-line models tend to have this kind of discordance. Some models might offer different recline options, with one being almost flat and the other one remaining fairly upright. Billingsley suggests selecting a model that has a nearly flat recline and leg rest adjustments for both seats. This will ensure that both children lie down comfortably.

She also suggests that parents look for strollers that have storage compartments so that they can quickly access their snacks, personal items and toys when on the move. She suggests that it's helpful to look for the stroller that has an organizer or parent console bag attached to the handlebars, which can help keep essentials close at hand.

Many of the top-rated double strollers can be enlarged, allowing parents the flexibility to customize the setup based on their family's needs. For instance, the Mockingbird Expandable is a highly rated double stroller that can be used with a single seat as early as birth, and later converted to tandem (with the addition of a second seat and bassinet) as the child gets older.

Safety

Double strollers have to be able to carry the weight of two adults, as well as any additional cargo. Strollers must also be easy to maneuver and push, especially in tight areas and on difficult terrain. The best strollers feature ergonomic handlebars with adjustable heights which allow parents to maintain a good posture when pushing them. A harness that is not rethread that makes the adjustment of seat belts faster and easier, is another nice feature to look out for. Finally, a sturdy brake system and wheels that glide over any surface are essential safety features.

Some parents choose an arrangement that allows both children to see each other during family outings. This arrangement can help prevent sibling rivalries over who is allowed to sit where but it's not a guarantee. If the seats are located at different heights, a child could punch or kick another while walking if the seats are at different levels.

For parents of twins or siblings of similar age, a tandem-style stroller is a great option for being able to see both children at the same time. Double strollers can be wider, and may not be able to fit through some interior doors. You could consider a single-to-double pram stroller stroller that can be transformed from a single stroller to a double in a variety ways. The most popular models are the CYBEX gazelle S.

If you're looking for a tandem or side-by-side twin umbrella stroller, be sure the product has been JPMA certified to meet strict safety standards. Be aware of the weight limits that apply to each seat, as over-weighting could lead to frame fatigue or other issues.

It's easy to get caught up in the bells and whistles, however it's important to remember that strollers are in essence baby carriers that will be used for a long period of time. It must be comfortable for both passengers, easy to clean and maintain, and in the ideal case it should have an easy-to-use, familiar design so that the person pushing it can effortlessly move it around without having to think twice about how to move forward or turn left or right, or use the brakes.

Easy of Use

For families on the go, a double stroller needs to be able to navigate a variety of terrains. Features like adjustable canopies windows, peek-aboo windows, and dependable braking systems are critical to help ensure your children's safety, but there are other factors that influence stroller comfort of use. A stroller must be compact enough to fit in the trunk of your vehicle, but still have plenty of storage space for groceries or other things. It is also essential to include thoughtful touches, such as the cup holder for one parent or consoles for parents, as well as a snack tray. These can help make traveling with two children much more enjoyable.

During our testing we rated each stroller on how well it performed on a variety surfaces and how well it maneuvered in tight spaces. We also considered how easy it was to fold the stroller in half and then unfold it, and if a particular feature enhanced the overall functionality. A stroller that does not have rethread straps is easy to adjust the seat belts. This is a major benefit for parents who are on the move because it cuts down on time and removes the need to re-thread the harness.

The UPPAbaby 2 Double was a top performer in this measure because it had a wide variety of seating configurations and additional accessories to accommodate growing families. The wagon-style double stroller is able to allow for an additional seat as well as a bassinet, or a toddler riding board--perfect for active families planning long, tiring days with multiple kids of various age groups. It is able to glide effortlessly over pavements, cobblestones, and ball fields. It can also be folded flat to be stored in a trunk or closet. Our tester Kerry appreciated the straightforward, intuitive nature of this stroller's design. The sleek packaging, clearly marked sections and user's manual made it easy to put together this stroller.

Stores

Double strollers can hold twice as much as one stroller, so make sure you ensure you have plenty of storage space. You'll want a stroller that has enough storage space to accommodate the essentials for both parents and children like bottles, toys, snacks, and diapers. Look for pockets and baskets under the seats. Also, consider a stroller with an expandable cargo space to take in bulky items like lunch bags and diaper bags.

A good double stroller will be able to expand with your family. For example certain models have the bassinet attachment, which can be used for newborns, and others have child seats that can expand with your children until they're able to ride on the back of the stroller, Billingsley says. Some double strollers also include a rider board that allows older children to be part of the fun.

There's a wide selection of double buggy for twins strollers in the market, from elegant, high-performance models that excel on rough terrain to budget-friendly models more suited for daily use. When shopping, take a look at reviews and suggestions from families just like yours to get a better idea of what to expect from the double stroller you select.

Double strollers come in three different styles: side-by-side, tandem, and wagon-style. Side-by-side double strollers offer most flexibility and are perfect for twins or children similar to their age, Billingsley explains. Tandem double strollers on the other hand, have two seats that are placed close to each other and facing opposite directions. It's a great option for children of the same age, or for siblings who love to interact with each other. Tandem strollers may be harder to maneuver through tight spaces and are less likely to pass through doorways than their side-by-side counterparts.
