Buying a Double Infant Stroller A double stroller provides parents with multiple children a comfortable way to get their children around. The best models are lightweight and easy to fold and carry and fit nicely in a car trunk and offer versatile seating arrangements for children of various age groups. Parents with children of a similar age may find that a side-by-side or sit-and-stand design is the best to prevent sibling rivalries over who rides in which car seat. We also like options that allow two infant car seats, such as the UPPAbaby v2 Double. Comfort It is important that your baby and toddler are both comfortable in the stroller. Choose a stroller with padded seats and swiveling wheels on the front to smooth bumps on the road. Also, select one with buckles that are easily fastened and unfastened. You could also consider a generous, UPF 50+ canopy that provides sun protection and ample coverage for both kids. Footrests that can be adjusted allow your child to stand in the rear seat if they are exhausted. Some double strollers provide this feature for both children, such as the Safety 1st model that is the most popular. How many seats you choose in your stroller depends on the weights and ages of the children who are that are using it. For example, a side-by-side stroller allows you to keep an eye on both kids simultaneously, so it's perfect for twins or siblings who are close in age. It's more spacious than other types of strollers and isn't easy to maneuver through crowded or narrow areas. On the other hand, a sit-and-stand stroller gives older siblings a chance to stand while you push your younger child in a car seat for infants. It's not ideal for newborns however, it could be an ideal choice when your kids are around three years old and are able to walk longer distances. Another option is a convertible stroller which offers multiple seating arrangements and can be used as a single or double for a long time.
