Buying Guide For Double StrollersIf you have two kids that are in the same age group, a double stroller can be an invaluable investment. These narrow tandem 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.ComfortWhen you are looking for a double stroller for your child, comfort is a key aspect to take into consideration. This can include both the seating arrangement and the overall dimensions of the stroller which impacts ease of use and storage. Katie Billingsley, a child expert in development from the Fourth Trimester Postnatal Retreat, says parents should be aware of the stroller's weight and folded dimensions. "They should also consider the options for recline and seat age ranges to ensure the best fit for their family."A good double stroller will be sturdy enough to traverse different surfaces smoothly--from urban sidewalks to parks trails, and from infant car seats to toddler booster seats. It should have a variety of seating options for children of different age groups, and comfort features like peek-a-boo window and adjustable canopy which protect children from the sun or rain.The seating options are important to many families who will utilize double strollers from the time of birth until the age of. "There are two main categories - in-line with one seat in front of the other, and side by side with seats next to each other," Billingsley explains. Some parents prefer the in-line option due to its sleek style and versatility. Others prefer a wagon style double stroller for maximum space for grocery or bulky items.In-line models tend to have this kind of difference. Certain models may provide different recline options, with one being almost flat and the other being more upright. Billingsley suggests selecting a product that offers both an almost flat recline as well as leg rest adjustments for both seats to ensure both children can lie back comfortably.Then, she suggests to look for strollers that have storage compartments that enable parents to quickly access snacks, toys and personal belongings while on the go. She suggests that it's helpful to look for a stroller that has an organizer console for parents or a parent bag attached to the handlebars, which will allow you to keep your essentials in reach.Some of the best-rated double strollers can be extended giving parents the ability to customize the setup depending on the needs of their family. The Mockingbird Expandable, for example is a highly rated double stroller which can be used from birth with a single seat, then transformed into a tandem (with two seats and a bassinet) when the child gets older.SafetyDouble strollers should be able to carry the weight of two people, plus any additional cargo. Strollers must also be easy to maneuver and push, especially in tight areas and on difficult terrain. The best strollers come with ergonomic handlebars and adjustable heights which make it easier for parents to maintain their form when pushing them. Another great feature is a no-rethread seat belt harness, which makes it easier to adjust the belts on the seat. Safety features include a durable brake system and wheels that slide over any surface.Some parents prefer a side-by-side design that allows both children to see each other on family outings. This arrangement can help prevent sibling squabbles over who gets to sit in which place however, it's not 100% secure. If tandem double stroller are at different heights, a child may kick or punch another while walking when the seats are on different levels.A tandem-style stroller is a ideal option for parents with twins or siblings that are close in age. It allows them to be able to see both children simultaneously. However, they can be wider than other double strollers, so they may not fit through all doorways in the interior. To maximize versatility, you should consider a single-to-double stroller that transitions from a single to a tandem in various ways, such as the popular 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.If you opt for a side-byside or tandem stroller, make sure that the stroller is JPMA-certified to meet stringent safety standards. Be aware of the weight limit that applies to each seat. Overstepping these limits can cause frame fatigue or other problems.It's easy to get caught up in the bells and whistles, but it's important to keep in mind that strollers are essentially baby carriers that will be used for a long period of times. It should be easy to clean and maintain and comfortable for both passengers. It should also feature a a familiar, intuitive design that allows the person pushing the stroller to maneuver it effortlessly.Easy to UseA double stroller should be simple to maneuver over different types of terrains for families constantly moving. Strollers with features like peek-a-boo windows, adjustable canopies and reliable brake systems are essential to ensure the safety of your children. But there are also other features that make them easier to use. A stroller should be small enough to fit in the trunk of your vehicle, but still have plenty of storage space for groceries or other items. It is also important to consider thoughtful additions like a cup holder with a single parent or console for parents, as well as an eating tray for children -- all things that make life with two children significantly simpler.In our testing We evaluated each stroller on how well it performed on a variety terrains and how easily it could maneuver in tight spaces. We also looked at how easy it was to fold the stroller and unfold it, and if a particular feature made a difference to the overall performance. For instance a stroller with a no-rethread harness makes adjusting the seat belts simple and easy. This is a major benefit for parents who are always on the move, as it eliminates the need to rethread the harness.The UPPAbaby v2 Double scored well in this measure because it had a wide variety of seating options, as well as additional accessories that accommodated expanding families. The wagon-style double stroller is able to accommodate an additional seat, a bassinet or even a toddler-friendly riding board, which is ideal for families with active children who plan long, tiring days with multiple children of different age. It also glides smoothly across cobblestones, ball fields and pavements. It also can be folded flat for simple storage in a trunk or closet. Our tester Kerry appreciated the straightforward and intuitive nature of this stroller's design. The sleek packaging with clearly marked sections as well as a user guide made it easy to put together this stroller.StoresDouble strollers can hold twice more than a single one So, make sure to look for plenty of storage space. You'll want a stroller that has enough storage space to store the essentials for both children and parents, such as bottles and snacks, toys, and diapers. Look for baskets that fit under the seat as well as other pockets, and think about a stroller with an expanding cargo area that can carry heavy items such as diaper bags and lunch bags.A quality double stroller should have the ability to adapt as your family expands. For example certain models have the bassinet attachment, which can accommodate infants, while others have child seats that can be adapted to your kids until they're ready to move to the back of the stroller, Billingsley says. Some double strollers allow older siblings to share in the fun with the rider board.There are many double strollers available. You can choose from high-performance models that are ideal for rough terrain, as well as more budget-friendly options that you can use every day. While shopping, read reviews and opinions of families like yours to get a better idea of what you can expect from the double stroller that you select.Double strollers are available in three models: tandem, side by side and wagon style. Billingsley says 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, have two seats set next to each other and facing opposite directions. It's a ideal choice for children 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 in doors.If you prefer a wagon-style double stroller check out this top model from Safety 1st.
