Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat
A double stroller that includes an infant car seat is essential for twins or two children with similar ages. If you’re planning to purchase one, you must take into consideration your budget and how long you’re planning to use the stroller for.
Kate says she was pleased with the fact that the stroller is light and maneuvers well. She also liked the ease with which it folded, but she found the magnetic buckles difficult to fasten.
Size
When selecting a double stroller and baby car seats, size is a crucial factor to take into consideration. The stroller should be compact and slim enough that parents are able to easily maneuver it on crowded sidewalks or through the narrow subway gates. In addition, the stroller should be easy to fold and small enough to fit into the trunk of a car or a smaller vehicle to store.
If you are planning to have twins or children who are very similar in age, you should consider purchasing a double stroller with two seats that can be able to accommodate infant car seats. These double strollers are more expensive, but they have a longer life and can be used until the age of toddlers or 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 like strollers that can be used with a range of infant car seat brands. This allows families to have a wider selection to choose from. For instance the UPPAbaby Vista can accept the UPPAbaby Mesa as well as other infant car seats that have adapters, and also can be used with the Baby Jogger Glider Board for an additional, standing passenger.
Some parents buy a single to double stroller, which can be adapted to accommodate an additional child. We suggest buying what you need right now. You may have a second child arrive later than you expected or your first child might not be able to walk. The type of seating in a double stroller with an infant car seat can also make or break the relationship between siblings, particularly if they are close in age.
Weight
Double strollers tend to be heavier than single models. They come with two seats and more cargo, so the weight of the final pushing load is higher. It’s important to factor in this weight when deciding on your ideal model, particularly in the event that you’ll use it for long walks or jogs. The most efficient models are engineered to handle the additional load with minimal movement or swinging.
You should also think about the durability of a double-stroller. The more expensive models have a quality build and seating configuration flexibility, which means they’ll last longer than the budget models. The joovy qool double bundle, for example, accepts car seat adapters for two infant carseats and can accommodate a second child via an attachable bassinet. This setup is suitable for twins, kids of different ages or siblings that have an age gap.
The Baby Trend Double Snap N’Go is an excellent alternative for parents with a limited budget because it can be converted into a tandem stroller (single file) and accepts two car seats for infants. It’s light and compact, making it easy to move around even with the extra weight.
Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another budget-friendly alternative. It’s similar to award-winning models which are more expensive and offer different seating configurations. Its side-byside seat design makes it suitable for twins or children with different ages, and it can be customized by adding add-ons like dual canopies twin bassinets, twin bassinets or altered seats that double as toddler seats. This stroller can be used for multiple purposes. It also has a quick fold and a compact footprint, making it easier to be tucked away in the trunk. The stroller isn’t designed to be used until children are able to sit without assistance, so babies younger than that will need to either be carried or seated in a car seat.
Convenience
It is easy to transfer your infant car seat from the vehicle into the stroller can make family trips simpler and less stressful. Rather than attempting to fold a stroller, while keeping one hand on the infant and the other on a toddler, simply click the seat into place and start moving. This is a great convenience for long-distance trips, as you don’t want to unbuckle and rebuckle your child every couple of minutes.
Parents with twins typically choose a travel system that can accommodate two infant car seats at the same time. The Graco Fast Action Flip, for instance, has this capability and comes with the added benefit of a bench seat for older siblings. However, it’s not compatible with all brands of infant car seats, and it’s too heavy for certain families.
Some parents choose a double-stroller equipped with an integrated car seat adapter that works with the majority of infant car safety seats. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo offers an excellent value for the features it offers. It’s not the best double-stroller for twin infants, as it only works with one. However, it’s a good choice for many families.
Other double strollers have a more complex procedure to attach and remove the car seat. The UPPAbaby Vist Double for instance, requires you to push down and then hear an audible click to confirm it’s secured properly. It can be a bit more difficult to use in parking areas especially when you have hungry or exhausted children. As it grows 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 must be durable and built for durability. It should also fit your lifestyle and budget whether you intend to use the stroller for a few or several years. When purchasing a stroller, consider the fabric of the stroller and its components, such as its tires.
Choose a stroller with a a wide and deep storage basket that can hold plenty of diapers, groceries and other necessities. A large parent console with cup holders is also useful, as well as a sun canopy which provides adequate coverage. Make sure the stroller can handle off-road terrain and narrow city sidewalks.
Parents of twins may prefer a stroller that is side-by-side for equal access and visibility to both children. However, those with children of different ages might choose a tandem model that allows the rear child to be lowered or raised. Tandem strollers are typically larger than single strollers however, and they could cause sibling fights when the seats are set at different heights.
A stroller equipped with an adjustable handlebar will assist you in adjusting it to the right height for your needs, and the one-hand fold mechanism is a useful feature. Another thing to look for is a small footprint that fits easily in your trunk and requires only a small amount of storage space.
A modular stroller like the CYBEX Gazelle S offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing you to mix and match seating units and cot attachments for twins, multiples, or one rider of different age groups. This high-end model’s durable construction and versatility in seating configurations makes it a worthy investment if you are planning to keep it for many years to come.
Safety
A great stroller should be safe for the children who are in the seat as well as the parent who pushes them. Alli Cavasino, a certified child passenger safety technician, suggests you select strollers that have ergonomic handlebars that are easy to use breaks and an adjustable harness. She also suggests avoiding any accessories that add weight of a stroller for children, like ride-on boards and additional child seats.
A double stroller must be sturdy enough to handle different surfaces including suburban sidewalks and parks trails to roads that are paved. It should be strong enough to withstand curbs and bumps without difficulty, but flexible enough to scale steep steps or climb steep incline. It should also be simple to fold up and fit into the trunk of a car without restricting its size or maneuverability.
Parents of twins or other siblings who are similar in age may want to consider a double stroller that is able to accommodate two car seats for infants. This will give them the flexibility to move sleeping kids from the car into the stroller without disturbing them. A majority of our top-scoring strollers are compatible with two car seats for infants, including the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double.
double pram buggy 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 converts into a second seat once your kids outgrow their car seat. It features a stadium-style seating arrangement with plenty of space for legs and can be set up to let your kids face each other or the world. It cannot accept two bassinets as well as an infant car seat, or riding boards at the exact same time. It is a great choice for families with a lot of young children.
