Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car SeatA double stroller that comes with an infant car seat could be essential if you have twins or children with similar age. If you're considering buying a stroller, you should think about your budget and the length of time you'll utilize it.Kate says she likes the fact that the stroller is lightweight and easy to maneuver. She also appreciated the fact that it folds up easily, but she found the buckles with magnetic buckles hard to fasten.SizeSize is a major factor to consider when choosing a double stroller with an infant car seat infant. Parents must be able to navigate the stroller with ease on crowded sidewalks and through narrow subway gates, which means that it should be fairly compact and slim. Additionally the stroller must be simple to fold and compact enough to fit in a trunk or smaller vehicle to store.If you plan on having twins or children very similar in age, think about purchasing a double stroller with two seats that can be able to accommodate infant car seats. Double strollers are more expensive, however, they last longer and can be used until the age of toddlers or beyond. Our top pick, the UPPAbaby V2 Double, comes with a variety of seating options. It can be used with two toddler seats or infant seats which convert into bassinets.We also like strollers that work with many different infant car seat brands and offers a wider selection of models for families to choose from. For example, the UPPAbaby Vista can work with the UPPAbaby Mesa, as well as a variety of other infant car seats with adapters, and also works with the Baby Jogger Glider Board for the third, standing person.Some parents choose to buy a single-to-double stroller which can adapt to the needs of a second child, but we recommend purchasing what you need at the moment. A second kid may arrive later than you expected or your primary child may not be comfortable walking. The type of seating you can use in a double stroller with an infant car seat can affect the relationship between siblings especially if they are close in age.WeightDouble strollers are generally heavier than single models. They come with two seats and more cargo, so the weight of the final push is greater. This is a factor to consider when choosing the best model, especially in case you intend to use it for long walks or running. The most efficient models are engineered to handle the additional load with the least amount of movement or shifting.You should also think about the durability of a double-stroller. The top strollers are constructed better and come with more seating options and will last longer than their lower-cost counterparts. The joovy Qool double bundle is one example. It can accept car seat adapters for two infant car seats and can accommodate a second child by attaching a bassinet. This configuration can work for twins, kids of different ages, or siblings who have an age gap.The Baby Trend Double Snap N'Go is a good alternative for parents with a limited budget, as it can be transformed into a tandem stroller (single file) and can accommodate two car seats for infants. It's light and compact, making it easy to move around even with the additional weight.Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is another budget-friendly alternative. It is comparable to models that have won awards, but are more expensive, and comes with different seating configurations. Its side-by-side seat design allows twins or children with varying ages. Additionally, it can be customized by adding accessories like dual canopy twin bassinets, twin bassinets or altered seats that act as toddler seats. The stroller is able to fold in a relatively quick fold and a tiny footprint that makes it easier to fit into a trunk. It's not intended to be used until kids are able to sit unassisted, however it is designed for babies who need to be carried or placed in a car seat.ConvenienceTransferring your infant's car seat from the car to the stroller can make family outings more enjoyable and less stressful. Instead of trying to fold a stroller, while keeping one hand on the infant and the other on a toddler, simply click the seat into position and then begin moving. This convenience is especially useful for long trips in which you do not want to unbuckle and change your child's buckle every few minutes.Parents with twins typically prefer a travel system that can accommodate two infant car seats at the same time. The Graco Fast Action Flip offers this capability, and includes the option of a bench seat that could be used by older siblings. It is not compatible with all infant car seats and can be a bit heavy for some families.Some parents prefer a double-stroller that has an integrated car seat adapter which is compatible with all major infant car safety seats. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo offers an excellent value for the features it has. Although it's not the most ideal double stroller for infant twins (it can only be used with one) it works well for a wide range of families and is a great choice if you're hoping for a single purchase.Other double strollers have a more complex process to attach and detach the car seat. For example the UPPAbaby Vist double requires you to press down, then hear a loud clicking sound for confirmation that it's secured properly. It's a little more difficult to use in parking lots especially in the case of hungry or tired children. As it grows with your family, we don't think it's the best choice for parents with twins. You'll have to buy an additional toddler chair once your children are old enough.DurabilityA double stroller that includes an infant car seats should be durable and built to last. It should also suit your budget and lifestyle whether you intend to use the stroller for a few or several years. When purchasing a stroller take into consideration the fabric of the stroller as well as its components, like its tires.A stroller with a large and deep basket can accommodate plenty of diapers, food items, and other supplies. A large console for parents and cup holders are useful and so is an umbrella sunshade that offers ample coverage. Make sure that the stroller is able to handle off-road terrain and narrow city sidewalks.small double stroller of twins may choose an equilateral stroller to give equal access and visibility to both children, while others with kids with different ages may prefer a tandem model that allows the rear child to be raised or lowered. Tandem strollers are bulkier than single strollers and can cause siblings to fight if they are equipped with seats of different heights.A stroller that has an adjustable handlebar can allow you to adjust the height to your liking. Also having a one-hand folding mechanism can be useful. Another thing to look for is a small footprint that fits comfortably in your trunk, and requires little storage space.A stroller that is modular, such as the CYBEX Gazelle is a model that offers unbeatable flexibility. It is possible to mix and combine the seating units and cots to accommodate multiples, twins or one child of various ages. The durable design and versatility in seating configurations make it a worthy investment if you are planning to keep it for a number of years to come.SafetyA great stroller should be safe for the children riding in the seats as well as the parent pushing them. Certified child passenger safety technician Alli Cavasino suggests looking for strollers with ergonomic handlebars, easy-to-use brakes and a seat harness that is adjustable. She also suggests avoiding accessories that increase the weight of the stroller for children like ride-on boards, as well as additional child seats.A double stroller must be sturdy enough to navigate different surfaces easily from suburban sidewalks to parks trails. It should be sturdy enough to move over curbs and bumps easily, but also flexible for navigating a steep incline or a staircase that goes up and down. It should also be simple to fold up and fit into the trunk of a vehicle without compromising its size or maneuverability.Parents with twins or siblings who are close in age might want to consider a stroller that accommodates two car seats for infants. This will allow them the flexibility to move sleeping kids from the car into a stroller without waking them up. Many of our best-scoring strollers are compatible with a two infant car seats, including the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double or the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double.Another alternative is the Joovy Qool double bundle, which can be used with two infant car seats (car seat adapters are sold separately) and comes with an add-on Rumble seat that can be converted into a second one when your children are old enough for their car seat. It comes with stadium seating that has plenty of legroom and can be configured to make your children face each other or the entire world. It can't accommodate two bassinets, a baby car seat, or a riding board at the exact same time. However, it is a great choice for families with several young children.
