Buying Guide For Double Strollers

If you have two kids who are similar in age A double stroller with bassinet stroller can be a valuable investment. These narrow tandem buggies as well as flexible side by side buggies will keep both children in the same place while navigating the grocery aisle or in parks, or whatever else life can throw at you.

Comfort

Comfort is an important factor to take into consideration when buying a double-stroller. This can include both the seating arrangements and the overall size of the stroller which impacts convenience and storage. "Parents must determine what the stroller weighs and its dimensions folded," says child development expert and mom Katie Billingsley of Fourth Trimester Postnatal Retreat. "They should also look at the recline options for seats and age ranges to ensure a good fit for their family."

A well-constructed double stroller will be durable enough to travel on various surfaces with ease, from suburban sidewalks to park trails, and from infant car seats to toddler booster seats. It should have a variety of seating options for children at different stages of development, as well as comfort features like peek-a-boo window and adjustable canopies that protect children from rain or sun.

The seating options are important to many families who will use double strollers from birth to childhood. Billingsley says there are two major categories of in-line seating which has one seat in front of the other, and side-by-side, with seats next to one another. "Some parents prefer an in-line stroller due to its sleek appearance and versatility, whereas others prefer a wagon-style double stroller to maximize space for bulky items or groceries."

Some products may offer different recline options--with one seat being almost flat, while the other is upright, this kind of difference is more common in in-line models. Billingsley recommends choosing a product that has a near-flat recline and leg rest adjustments for both seats to ensure the children can both lie back comfortably.

She also suggests that parents look for strollers that have storage compartments to allow them to easily access personal items, snacks and toys moving about. She also suggests that it is beneficial to choose a stroller that comes with a parent console or organizer bag that is attached to the handlebars. This can help parents keep essentials close at hand.

A few of the top-rated double strollers can be expanded to allow parents to alter the configuration based on their family's needs. For instance, the Mockingbird Expandable is a highly-rated double stroller that can be used with a single seat as early as birth, and then converted to tandem (with a second seat and bassinet) as the child gets older.

Safety

Double strollers must be able to support the weight of both passengers and any additional cargo. Strollers must also be easy to maneuver and push, especially in tight spots and on difficult terrain. The best compact double stroller strollers have ergonomic handlebars that can be adjusted in height to allow parents to maintain their good posture while pushing them. Another feature that is great is a no-rethread belt harness that allows for a more comfortable adjustment of the belts on the seat. A sturdy brake system and wheels that glide over any surface are crucial safety features.

Some parents opt for a side-by-side design that allows both children to be able to see one another during family outings. This arrangement can stop siblings fighting over who gets to sit where but it's not a guarantee. If the seats are different heights, a child could kick or punch one another during a walk, in the event that the seats are at different levels.

A tandem-style stroller is excellent option for parents with twins or siblings that are similar in age. It lets parents observe both children at the same time. However, they can be wider than other double strollers, and they may not be able to pass through all doors in your home. Consider a single-to double stroller that can be transformed from a single stroller to a double in many ways. The most popular models are the CYBEX gazelle S.

Whether you choose a side-by-side or tandem-style stroller, be sure that the stroller is JPMA-certified to meet strict safety standards. Be sure to check the maximum weight limits for each seat, as exceeding them can lead to frame fatigue or other issues.

It's easy to get caught up in the bells and whistles, however it's important to keep in mind that strollers are basically baby carriers that are used for extended durations. It must be comfortable for both parents and children, easy to clean and maintain, and ideally it should feature an easy-to-use, familiar design so that the person pushing it can effortlessly maneuver it without having to think twice about how to move forward and turn left or right, or even apply the brakes.

Easy of Use

For families that are on the move, a double stroller must be able to maneuver easily over a variety of terrains. Strollers with features like peek-a-boo windows, adjustable canopies and sturdy brake systems are essential to ensure the safety of your children. However, there are other features that make them more convenient to use. A stroller must be compact double stroller enough to fit in the trunk of your car yet have plenty of storage space for groceries and other things. It's also important to include thoughtful details, such as cups holder for one parent as well as consoles for parents and snacks on trays. These will make traveling with two children much more enjoyable.

A stroller with no-rethread straps makes it simple to adjust the seat belts. This is a huge benefit for parents who are constantly on the move, as it eliminates the requirement to rethread the harness.

Our tester Kerry appreciated the straightforward, intuitive nature of this stroller's design.

Stores

A double stroller has the potential to hold twice as much stuff as a single stroller, so look for ample storage space. You'll want a stroller that has enough storage space to hold the essentials of both parents and children like bottles, toys, snacks, and diapers. Find baskets under the seat and other pockets, and look into a stroller with an expandable cargo space that can carry bulky items like lunch bags and diaper bags.

A good double stroller must be able to change as your family grows. For instance certain models come with the bassinet attachment, which can be used for newborns, and others have child seats that can grow with your kids until they're ready to move to the back of the stroller, Billingsley says. Some double strollers permit a rider's board to let older siblings join in the fun.

While shopping, you can read reviews and opinions of families similar to yours to get an idea of what you can expect from the double stroller you select.

Double strollers are available in three different styles: tandem, side-by-side and wagon style. Side-by-side double strollers provide the most flexibility and are perfect for twins or children who are similar in age, Billingsley explains. Tandem double strollers have two seats that are set in tandem facing in opposite directions. This is a good option for children of similar age or siblings who prefer to interact with each other. Tandem strollers may be harder to maneuver in tight spaces, and are less likely to fit through doorways than their side-byside counterparts.
