Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat

A double stroller with an infant car seat is essential for twins or two kids with similar ages. If you are planning to purchase one, you must think about your budget and how long you hope to use the stroller.

Kate loved that the stroller was lightweight and easy to move. She also liked that it folds up easily, but she found the magnetic buckles difficult to secure.

Size

When selecting a double stroller and infant car seats size is an important aspect to consider. Parents must be able navigate the stroller with ease on crowded sidewalks and through narrow subway gates, which means it should be fairly compact and slim. Additionally the stroller should be easy to fold and small enough to fit in the trunk of a car or a smaller vehicle for storage.

Consider a double stroller that has two seats and can accommodate a car seat for infants if you are planning to have twins or children that are similar in age. These double strollers are more expensive but have a longer lifespan and can be used up to the age of toddler or even beyond. Our top pick, the UPPAbaby Double, comes with a variety of seating options. It can accommodate two toddler seats or infant seats that convert into bassinets.

We also love strollers that are compatible with different brands of infant car seats which means that there is an array of models for families to choose from. The UPPAbaby Vista, for instance can be used with the UPPAbaby mesha and other infant car seats with adapters. It is also compatible with the Baby Jogger Glider Board to accommodate a third passenger standing.

Some parents choose to buy a single-to-double stroller that can be adapted to a second child, but we suggest buying what you need at the moment. You might have an additional child arrive later than expected, or your first child may not be able to walk. Moreover, the type of seating that you can find on a double stroller with infant car seats can have a major impact on sibling relations, especially for children who are 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 heavier. It's important to factor in this weight when you're deciding on your ideal model, particularly if you'll be using it for long jogs or walks. The best models will handle the extra weight with minimal movement and swaying.

It's also worth considering the cost of a double stroller against its longevity. The higher-end models offer a good build and seating versatility that indicates they'll last longer than the budget models. The joovy double pram pushchair bundle, for instance, accepts adapters for two infant car seats and can accommodate a second child via a bassinet which attaches. This setup is suitable for twins, kids of different ages or siblings that have gaps in age.

Budget-conscious parents may find the Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go an attractive option, as it is compatible with two car seats for infants and can convert into a tandem (single-file) stroller. It's lightweight and compact which makes it easy to maneuver despite the added weight.

Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double running stroller. It's comparable to the more expensive award winners and supports multiple seating options for kids of various ages and stages. Its side-by-side seat design can accommodate twins or children of various age groups. It can also be customized with add ons such as dual canopies or twin stroller side by side bassinets. The stroller is also easy to fold and has a tiny footprint, making it easier to fit into the trunk. It's not designed to be used until children can sit up without assistance it is designed for babies who require assistance or placed in a car seat.

Convenience

Seamlessly transferring your infant car seat from the vehicle into the stroller can make family trips easier and less stressful. Instead of trying to fold the stroller while keeping one hand on the infant and the other on a toddler, simply click the seat into place and begin moving. This is a great convenience for long-distance trips, as you don't want to unbuckle and then return your child to the seat every couple of minutes.

Parents with twins typically choose a travel system that will accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously. The Graco Fast Action Flip offers this capability, and comes with the option of a bench seat that could be used by older siblings. However, it doesn't work with all brands of infant car seats, and it's a bit heavy for certain families.

Other parents would prefer a double stroller that has a built-in car seat adapter that is compatible with all the major infant car seats. The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo is an excellent option and is available at a reasonable price 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 a lot of families.

Other double strollers require a more intricate procedure to attach and detach the car seat. For example the UPPAbaby vist double requires you to push down, and then hear a loud clicking sound in order to be sure that it's secured properly. It's a little more difficult to use in parking spaces especially if you have hungry or tired children. And while it does grow with your family, we don't believe it's the best option for parents of twins as you'll need to buy a separate toddler seat when your children are old enough to use it.

Durability

A double stroller that includes an infant car seat needs to be sturdy and built to last. It must also be suitable for your lifestyle and budget, whether you intend to use it for a few years or more. Take into consideration the quality of the fabric and the components, including its tires, when making your purchase.

Choose a stroller with a a wide and deep storage basket that will accommodate plenty of diapers, groceries and other items. A large console for parents with cup holders can be useful, as is a sun canopy that provides adequate coverage. Also, make sure the stroller is able handle off-road terrain and navigate the narrow sidewalks of cities.

Parents of twins might prefer a stroller that is side by side to allow equal access and visibility to both children. Others with children of different ages could choose a tandem stroller that allows the seat of the rear child to be adjusted by raising or lowering it. Tandem strollers are typically larger than single strollers however, and they could cause sibling fights if the seats are at different heights.

A stroller equipped with an adjustable handlebar will assist you in adjusting it to the appropriate height for you, and the one-hand fold mechanism is a useful feature. A compact footprint is another feature to consider. It should fit easily in your trunk and require minimal storage space.

A modular stroller such as the CYBEX Gazelle S provides unparalleled flexibility that lets you mix and match seating options and cot attachments for twins, multiples, or a single rider of varying age groups. This high-end model's durable construction and versatility in seating arrangements make it a worthwhile purchase if you intend to keep it for a number of years to come.

Safety

A great stroller should be safe for both children riding in the seats as well as the parent pushing them. Alli Cavasino is a certified child passenger safety specialist, suggests you select a stroller that has ergonomic handlebars, with simple-to-use breaks and a movable harness. She also recommends avoiding accessories that add to the weight of a stroller, like ride-on boards, or additional child seats.

A double stroller should be strong enough to traverse a variety of surfaces smoothly including suburban sidewalks and park trails. It should be sturdy enough to withstand curbs and bumps with ease and yet flexible enough to maneuver over a steep incline or a staircase that goes up and down. It should also be able to fold up and squeeze into the trunk of a vehicle without any compromise in size or maneuverability.

Parents of twins or siblings who are close in age may think about a double stroller that 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, including 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 includes an additional rumble seat that transforms into a second seat when your kids outgrow their car seat. It features stadium seating with plenty of legroom and can be set up to make your children are facing each other or the world. It's not able for two bassinets or an infant car seat and riding board at the same time, but it's a great value for families with multiple young children.
