Buying Guide For Double Strollers

A double stroller is an excellent investment when you have two kids with similar ages. These narrow tandem double Stroller buggies or versatile side by side buggies allow you to keep both children within sight while you shop and parks, as well as whatever else life can throw at you.

Comfort

When shopping for a double single pushchair stroller for your child, comfort is a major consideration. This can include the seating arrangement as well as the overall size, which will have an impact on the ease of use and storage. "Parents should determine how much the stroller weighs and its dimensions folded," says child development expert and mom Katie Billingsley of Fourth Trimester Postnatal Retreat. "They should also consider the options for recline of the seat, as well as the age ranges of their children to ensure it is a perfect fit."

A good double stroller should be able to handle a variety of surfaces easily, from suburban sidewalks to parks and from toddler booster seats to infant car seats. It should also have flexible seating options for children of varying age groups and comfort features such as peek-a-boo windows and adjustable canopies to protect children from rain or sun.

Seating options are important for many families that will utilize a double stroller from the time of birth until childhood. "There are two main categories - in-line with one seat ahead of the other, and side by side with seats next to each other," Billingsley explains. "Some parents prefer an in-line option for its sleek design and versatility, whereas others prefer a wagon-style stroller that can be used to store bulky items or groceries."

In-line models are more likely to have this kind of difference. Some products may offer different recline options, with one being almost flat, while the other remaining relatively upright. Billingsley suggests selecting a model with both a near flat recline as well as leg rest adjustments for both seats. This will ensure that both children lay down comfortably.

She also suggests that parents search for strollers with storage compartments so that they can easily access personal items, snacks and toys when in motion. She also suggests that it's beneficial to choose a stroller with an organizer or parent console bag attached to the handlebars. This will help keep things within reach.

Some of the most highly-rated double strollers can be expanded, allowing parents to customize the layout to meet the needs of their expanding family. For instance, the Mockingbird Expandable is a highly rated double stroller that can be used with just a single seat as early as birth, and then converted to a tandem (with a second seat and bassinet) as the child grows older.

Safety

Double strollers need to be able to handle the weight of two passengers and any additional cargo. Strollers should also be easy to maneuver and push, especially in tight areas and over challenging terrain. The best double stroller strollers have ergonomic handlebars and adjustable heights, making it easier for parents to maintain good form when pushing them. A harness that does not need to be rethread, which makes adjusting seat belts faster and easier to do, is a nice feature to look for. A sturdy brake system and wheels that glide across any surface are crucial safety features.

Some parents prefer an arrangement that is side by side to ensure that both children see each other on family outings. This arrangement can reduce siblings arguing about who gets to sit in which place however, it's not 100% secure. If the seats are different heights, a child may punch or kick another during a walk when the seats are on different levels.

If you have twins or siblings close in age, a tandem-style stroller offers the benefit of being able see both kids at once. However, they can be more spacious than other double strollers, meaning they may not be able to fit through all doorways in the interior. For maximum flexibility, think about a single-to-double stroller which can switch from a single to a tandem in various ways, such as the well-known CYBEX Gazelle S. These models can be adapted to a wide variety of configurations and allow you to click in infant car seats or cot attachments according to your requirements.

Whether you choose a side-by-side or tandem stroller, make sure that the stroller is JPMA-certified to meet the strictest safety standards. Be aware of the maximum weight limit for each seat. Overstepping these limits can cause frame fatigue or other problems.

It's easy to get caught in the jingles and whistles, but it's important to remember that strollers are in essence baby carriers that are used for a long period of time. It should be comfortable for both the passengers, easy to clean and maintain, and in the ideal case it should have an intuitive, familiar design so that the person pushing it is able to easily maneuver it without having to think about how to move forward or turn left or right, or use the brakes.

Easy of Use

For families on the go, a double stroller must be easy to maneuver over different terrains. Features like adjustable canopy systems, peek-aboo windows and dependable braking systems are critical to help ensure the safety of your children, however, there are other elements that influence stroller comfort of use. For example the stroller must be compact enough to fit in the trunk of your car while still offering ample storage space for food items and other things. It's also important to include thoughtful touches, such as cups holder for one parent as well as consoles for parents and an eating tray. These can make traveling with two kids significantly easier.

During our testing we evaluated each stroller according to its performance on different surfaces and its ability to maneuver through tight spaces. We also assessed the ease with which it was possible to fold and unfold and whether or not a particular feature added to the overall functionality of the stroller. A stroller without rethread straps is easy to adjust the seat belts. This is a huge benefit for parents who are constantly on the move, as it eliminates the need to rethread their harness.

The UPPAbaby V2 Double scored well in this measure because it came with a variety of seating configurations and additional accessories that accommodated expanding families. The wagon-style double stroller expands to allow for an additional seat as well as a bassinet, or a toddler riding board that is perfect for families who are active and planning long, tiring days with multiple kids of various ages. It easily glides over cobblestones, pavements, and ball fields. It can be folded flat to store in a trunk or closet. Our test subject Kerry loved the simple and easy-to-use nature of the stroller's design. The smart packaging with clearly marked sections as well as a the user's guide made it simple to put this stroller together.

Stores

A double stroller is able to hold twice as much as a single lightweight twin stroller so make sure you have plenty of storage space. You'll want a stroller that has enough storage space to accommodate the necessities of parents and children like bottles, toys, snacks, and diapers. Look for under-seat baskets and other pockets, and consider a stroller with an expandable cargo area that can carry heavy items such as lunch bags and diaper bags.

A quality double stroller should be able to change as your family expands. Billingsley says that some models have an attachment for a bassinet to accommodate newborns. Other models come with child seats that grow with the child until they are ready to ride on the back. Some double strollers permit older siblings to share in the fun with riding boards.

There are a variety of double strollers available on the market, from sleek, high-performance models that excel on rough terrain to budget-friendly models more for everyday use. When you're shopping, read reviews and suggestions from families like yours to get a better sense of what to expect from the double stroller you choose.

Double strollers come in three different designs including tandem, side-by-side and wagon-style. Billingsley states that side-by-side strollers are the most flexible and ideal for twins as well as children of similar age. Tandem double strollers on the other hand, feature two seats that are arranged adjacent to one another and facing opposite directions. It's a good option for kids of the same age, or for siblings who enjoy interacting with one another. Tandem strollers are more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces, and less likely to fit into doorways.
