Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat A double stroller with infant car seat is a necessity for twins or two kids with similar ages. If you are planning to purchase one, it's important to think about your budget and the length of time you hope to use the stroller for. Kate says she liked the stroller's light and maneuvers well. She also liked how easily it folded, but found the buckles with magnetic buckles difficult to secure. Size Size is a crucial aspect to take into consideration when selecting a double stroller that includes an infant car seat baby. The stroller should be compact and slim so parents can easily maneuver it on crowded sidewalks or through the narrow subway gates. Additionally the stroller should be easy to fold and small enough to fit into a trunk or smaller vehicle to store. Think about double pram pushchair that has two seats and is able to accommodate infant car seat if you are planning to have twins or children that are close in age. These types of strollers are more expensive than other double strollers, however, they come with a longer stroller life and can be used into toddlerhood or even past. For example, our top pick the UPPAbaby Vista Double comes with a variety of seating options and will accommodate two infant car seats or toddler seats that can be converted into bassinets. We also like strollers that work with a variety of infant car seat brands. This allows families to have a wider selection to choose from. The UPPAbaby Vista, for instance can be used with the UPPAbaby mesha and other infant car seats that come with adapters. It also works with the Baby Jogger Glider Board to accommodate a third passenger standing. Some parents opt to purchase a single-to-double stroller which can be adjusted to accommodate an additional child, but we suggest purchasing the items you require at the moment. You might have another child arrive later than you anticipated or your first child may not be capable of walking. The seating arrangement in a double stroller that includes an infant car seat can affect the relationship between siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Weight Double strollers are generally heavier than single strollers. Double strollers come with two seats, and they carry more cargo. The weight of the stroller is heavier. It's important to factor in the weight when choosing your preferred model, especially in the event that you'll use it for long jogs or walks. The best models will handle the extra weight with minimal flexing and swinging. You should also think about the durability of double-strollers. The higher-end models offer a good build and seating versatility that indicates they'll last longer than budget-friendly competitors. The double-joovy bundle is a good example. It accepts adapters to fit two infant car seats and can accommodate a secondary rider via a bassinet that connects. This configuration can work for twins, children of different ages, or siblings with an age gap. The Baby Trend Double Snap N'Go is a great alternative for parents with a limited budget because it can be converted to a tandem stroller (single file) and accepts two infant car seat. It's light and compact, making it simple to maneuver, even with the extra weight. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another budget-friendly option. It's similar to award-winning models which are more expensive and offers multiple seating configurations. The side-by-side design of the seat allows for twins or children with different ages, and it can be customised with accessories like dual canopy twin bassinets, twin bassinets or altered seats that function as toddler seats. This versatile stroller also has a relatively quick fold and a tiny footprint, making it easier to be tucked away in a trunk. The stroller isn't designed to be used until children can sit up on their own without assistance, so babies younger than that need to be carried or seated in a car seat. Convenience It's simpler and less stressful to take your family on a vacation if you transfer your infant car seat easily from the vehicle to the stroller. Instead of trying to fold the stroller while keeping one hand on the baby and another on a toddler, you can just click the seat into position and start moving. This feature is particularly helpful during long trips, where you don't need to unbuckle or buckle your child every few minutes. Parents with twins often prefer a travel system that will accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously. The Graco Fast Action Flip offers this capability, and includes a bench seat that can be used by older siblings. However, it's not compatible with all kinds of infant car seats and it's a bit heavy for some families. Some parents prefer a double stroller with an integrated car seat adapter that can be used with all the major infant car seats. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo offers a great value for the features it has. While it's not the best double stroller for infant twins (it only works with one) it works well for a variety of families and is a great choice if you're hoping to make a purchase that is a one-and-done deal. Other double strollers require a more complicated procedure to attach and detach the car seat. For example the UPPAbaby Vist double requires you to press down, then hear a loud clicking sound, in order to know that it is properly secured. It's a little more difficult to use in parking areas especially when you have hungry or tired children. While it will grow with your family, we don’t consider it the best option for parents of twins. You will have purchase an additional toddler chair when your children are old enough. Durability A double stroller with an infant car seat needs to be sturdy and built for longevity. It must also be suitable for your lifestyle and budget, whether you plan to use it for just a few years or more. Consider the quality of the stroller's fabric and its components, including the tires, before making your purchase. Find a stroller that has a an ample and deep storage basket that will hold plenty of diapers, groceries and other items. A spacious parent console and cup holders are useful, as is a sun canopy that gives plenty of coverage. Make sure your stroller can handle off-road terrain and narrow city sidewalks. Parents of twins may prefer an equilateral stroller to give equal visibility and access to both children, whereas others with kids of different ages might prefer a tandem model that allows the rear child to be lowered or raised. Tandem strollers are typically heavier than single strollers, however, and they could cause sibling fights if the seats are at different heights. A stroller with an adjustable handlebar can allow you to adjust the height to suit your needs. Also the one-hand folding mechanism is useful. Another feature to look for is a compact footprint that can easily fit 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 combine the seating units and cots to accommodate twins, multiples or one child of various age groups. Its robust design and a variety of seating configurations make it clear that this top-of-the-line model is worth the price when you plan to keep it for a long time. Safety A great stroller should be safe for both 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 strollers that have ergonomic handlebars, with simple-to-use breaks and an adjustable harness. She also suggests avoiding any accessories that add weight of the stroller for children, like ride-on boards and additional child seats. A double stroller should be sturdy enough to handle various surfaces, from suburban sidewalks and park trails to paved roads. It should be sturdy enough to move over curbs and bumps with ease, but also flexible to maneuver over a steep incline or a staircase that goes up and down. It should also be easy to fold up 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 is able to accommodate two car seats for infants. This allows them to transfer sleeping children from the car to the stroller without waking them up. Many of our top-scoring strollers are compatible with a two infant car seats, including the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double or the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double. The double bundle from Joovy is another option. It comes with two infant car seats and an additional rumble chair that can be converted into a second seat once your children outgrow the car seat. It offers stadium-style seating with plenty of room for legs and can be configured to let your kids meet each other and the world. It is not able to accommodate two bassinets, a baby car seat, or riding boards simultaneously. It is a great option for families with multiple young children.
