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 are planning to purchase one, you must consider your budget and how long you hope to use the stroller for. Kate says she was pleased with the fact that this stroller is light and maneuvers well. She also liked the ease with which it folded, but she found the buckles that are magnetic difficult to fasten. Size Size is an important factor to consider when choosing a double stroller that includes an infant car seat infant. The stroller should be small and slim enough that parents are able to effortlessly maneuver it on busy sidewalks or through the narrow subway gates. The stroller should also be small and easy to fold so that it can be tucked away in a vehicle trunk or smaller vehicles. If you're planning on having twins or children close in age, think about purchasing a double stroller with two seats that can fit infant car seats. These options will be more expensive than other double strollers however they offer a longer stroller life and can be used until toddlerhood or even past. Our top choice, the UPPAbaby Double, has a variety of seating configurations. It can be used with two infant seats or toddler seats that convert into bassinets. We also prefer strollers that work with a variety of infant car seat brands. This allows families to have a wider selection to pick from. The UPPAbaby vista, for example is compatible with the UPPAbaby mesha as well as other infant car seats that come with adapters. It also works with the Baby Jogger Glider Board to accommodate a third person standing. Some parents purchase a single to double stroller that can be adjusted to accommodate another child. We suggest that you purchase what you need now. You may have a second child arrive later than you expected or your child might not be capable of walking. The type of seating you can use in a double stroller that includes an infant car seat could also affect the relationship between siblings especially if they are close in age. Weight Double strollers tend to be heavier than single models. They have two seats and more cargo, meaning the weight of the final push is higher. It's important to factor in this weight when deciding on your ideal model, particularly if you'll be using it for long jogs or walks. The most effective models are designed to handle the additional load with the least amount of shifting or swinging. You should also consider the durability of a double-stroller. The more expensive strollers are constructed better and come with more seating options and will last longer than their lower-cost counterparts. The joovy qool double-bundle, for example, accepts car seat adapters for two infant car seats and can accommodate a second rider via an attachable bassinet. This configuration can work for twins, kids of different ages or siblings with a gap in age. The Baby Trend Double Snap N'Go is a good choice for parents with a limited budget, as it can be converted into a tandem stroller (single file) and accommodates two infant car seat. It's lightweight and compact, making it simple to maneuver even with the additional weight. Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double. It is comparable to models that have won awards, but are more expensive, and comes with different seating configurations. Its side-byside seat design makes it suitable twins or children of varying ages, and it can be customized with accessories like dual canopy, twin bassinets or modified seats that function as toddler seats. The stroller is also easy to fold and has a small footprint, making it easier to fit into the trunk. The stroller is not designed to be used until children are able to sit without assistance, so babies older than that will need to either be carried or placed into a car seat. Convenience It's more convenient and less stressful take your family on a vacation by transferring your infant's car seat effortlessly from the car to the stroller. You can simply click the seat in place and move the stroller without folding it while holding a baby and a toddler. This is a great option for long trips, when you don't want to have to unbuckle and rebuckle your child every couple of minutes. Parents with twins typically opt for a travel system that will accommodate two infant car seats at once. The Graco Fast Action Flip offers this feature, and includes a bench seat that can be used by older siblings. It's not compatible with all infant car seats, and can be quite heavy for some families. Some parents choose a double-stroller equipped with an integrated car seat adapter, which works with all the major infant car safety seats. The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo is an excellent option, and it comes in at a reasonable price for what you get. It's not the best double-stroller, as it only works with one. However it's an excellent choice for families with multiple children. Other double strollers require a more complicated procedure to attach and remove the car seat. The UPPAbaby Vist Double is one example. It requires you to press down and then hear a loud click to ensure it's properly secured. double buggy newborn can be a bit more difficult to use in parking spaces, especially if you have hungry or tired children. And while it does grow with the family, we don't believe it's the best option for parents of twins because you'll have to purchase an additional toddler seat when your children are old enough for it. Durability A double stroller and infant car seats should be durable and built to last. It should also be suited to your lifestyle and budget whether you intend to use the stroller for a few or many years. Be sure to consider the quality of the fabric and the components, including its tires, before making your purchase. A stroller with a big and deep basket can hold plenty of diapers, groceries, and other things. A large console for the parents with cup holders can be useful, as is an umbrella sunshade that offers adequate coverage. Also, ensure that the stroller is able to manage off-road terrain and the narrow sidewalks of cities. Parents of twins may prefer a side by side stroller to provide the same access and view to both children. Others with children of different ages may choose a tandem stroller that allows the rear child's seat to be adjusted by raising or lowering it. Tandem strollers tend to be heavier than single strollers, however, and they can cause sibling rivalries if the seats are at different heights. A stroller that has an adjustable handlebar will allow you to adjust the height to your liking. Also the one-hand folding mechanism can be useful. Another thing to look for is a small footprint that can easily fit in your trunk and requires minimal storage space. A stroller that is modular like the CYBEX Gazelle S provides unbeatable flexibility that lets you mix and match seating options and cot attachments for twins, multiples, or a single rider of varying age groups. Its robust construction and seating configuration versatility make it clear that this top-of-the-line model is worth the investment should you intend to keep it for a long time. Safety A good stroller should be safe for the children riding in the seats as well as the parent who pushes them. Alli Cavasino is a certified child-passenger safety specialist, suggests you select a stroller that has ergonomic handlebars with easy-to-use breaks and an adjustable harness. She also recommends avoiding accessories that increase the weight of the stroller for children, like ride-on boards and extra child seats. A double stroller must be strong enough to traverse different surfaces easily including suburban sidewalks and park trails. It should be robust enough to traverse curbs and bumps easily and also able to be adapted to navigate a steep slope or up and down stairways. It should also be able to fold and fit into the trunk of a car, without restricting its size or maneuverability. Parents of twins or siblings who are close in age might be interested in a double stroller that can accommodate two car seats for infants. This will allow them the ability to move sleepy kids from the car into a stroller without waking them up. Many of our top-scoring strollers work with two car seats for infants such as the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double and 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 are sold separately) and comes with an add-on rumble seat that transforms into a second one when your kids outgrow their car seat. It has stadium-style seating with plenty of room for legs and can be set up to allow your children to meet each other and the world. It can't accommodate two bassinets, a baby car seat, or a riding board simultaneously. It is a great option for families with multiple young children.
