Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat

A double stroller with an infant car seat can be a necessity for twins or children of similar age. If you plan to buy one, it's important to consider your budget and the length of time you hope to use the stroller for.

Kate says she liked the fact that the stroller is lightweight and easy to maneuver. She also liked the fact that it folds up easily, but she did find the buckles magnetic difficult to fasten.

Size

When choosing a double stroller with baby car seats the size is a major consideration. Parents should be able to navigate the stroller with ease on the midst of crowded sidewalks and narrow subway gates, which means it should be fairly small and compact. Additionally the stroller must be easy to fold and small double buggy enough to fit in the trunk of a car or a smaller vehicle to store.

If you are planning to have twins or children that are close in age, consider getting a double stroller with two seats that can be able to accommodate infant car seats. These types of strollers are more expensive than other double strollers, however they offer a longer life span and can be used through toddlerhood or even past. Our top pick, the UPPAbaby Double, offers a range of seating configurations. It can be used with two toddler seats or infant seats which convert into bassinets.

We also love strollers that work with many different brands of infant car seats which means that there is more models for families to choose from. The UPPAbaby Vista, for instance is compatible with the UPPAbaby mesha as well as other infant car seats with adapters. It also works with the Baby Jogger Glider Board to accommodate a third person standing.

Some parents choose to buy a single-to-double stroller that can be adapted to the needs of a second child, but we recommend buying what you need at the time. There is a chance that a second child arrive later than you expected or your first child may not be able to walk. Moreover, the type of seating on a double stroller with infant car seats can make or break siblings, particularly for children who are close in age.

Weight

Double strollers are generally heavier than single models. They come with two seats and more cargo, so the final pushing weight is higher. This weight is important to consider when choosing your preferred model, particularly in case you intend to use it for long walks and running. The most efficient models are engineered to withstand the extra weight with minimal flexing or shifting.

It is also important to consider the longevity of double-strollers. The more expensive strollers are constructed better and offer more seating configuration options and will last longer than their lower-cost counterparts. The joovy qool double bundle, for example, accepts car seat adapters for two infant car seats and can accommodate a second rider by attaching a bassinet. This configuration can work for twins, children of different ages, or siblings with a gap in age.

The Baby Trend Double Snap N'Go is a good alternative for parents on a tight budget since it can be converted to a tandem stroller (single file) and accepts two infant car seat. It's compact and lightweight and easy to maneuver despite the added weight.

Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double. It's comparable to the more expensive award winners and supports multiple seating options for children of different ages and stages. Its side-byside seat design makes it suitable for twins or children of varying ages, and it can be customised with accessories like dual canopy twin bassinets, or modified seats that act as toddler seats. It can be folded easily and has a tiny footprint, making it easier to fit into a trunk. The stroller is not designed to be used until children can sit up on their own without assistance, so children older than that will require assistance or placed into a car seat.

Convenience

Seamlessly transferring your infant car seat from the car into the stroller can make family trips simpler and less stressful. You can easily click the seat into place and move the stroller without folding it while holding a baby or a toddler. This is a great convenience for long journeys, especially when you don't want to unbuckle and buckle your child every couple of minutes.

Many parents with twins choose a travel system that can accommodate two infants in the car seat at the same time. The Graco Fast Action Flip, for instance, provides this capability and comes with the added benefit of having a bench seat for older siblings. It is not compatible with all infant car seats and can be a bit heavy for some families.

Other parents would prefer a double stroller that has an adapter for car seats built-in that works with all the major infant car seats. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo offers a fantastic value for the features it has. While it's not the ideal double stroller for twins in the infant stage (it is only compatible with one), it can work well for a wide range of families and is a great choice if you're hoping for a one-and-done purchase.

Other double strollers have a more complex method of attaching and detaching the car seat. The UPPAbaby Vist Double is one example. It requires that you push down, and then hear an audible click to confirm it's securely secured. It's a little more challenging to use in a parking garage particularly if your kids are hungry or tired. While it will grow with your family, we don't consider it the best travel double stroller option for parents with twins. You will have to buy a separate toddler chair when your children reach an age.

Durability

A double stroller and infant car seats must be durable and built to last. It should also be a good fit for your budget and lifestyle, whether you intend to use it for few years or more. When purchasing a stroller take into consideration the fabric of the stroller as well as its components, like its tires.

Look for a stroller with an ample and deep storage basket that will hold plenty of diapers, groceries, and other supplies. A large console for parents with cup holders is also beneficial, as is a sun canopy that provides adequate coverage. Also, make sure the stroller is able to manage off-road terrain and the narrow sidewalks of cities.

Parents of twins might prefer a stroller that is side-by-side for the same level of visibility and accessibility to both children, while those with children of different ages might prefer the tandem model, which allows the rear child to be raised or lowered. Tandem strollers are bulkier than single strollers, and can cause siblings to fight, especially if they have seats at different heights.

A stroller that has an adjustable handlebar will allow you to adjust the height to suit your preferences. Also, a one-hand folding mechanism is convenient. Another thing to look for is a compact footprint that fits easily in your trunk and requires minimal storage space.

A modular stroller like the CYBEX Gazelle S offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing you to mix and match seating units as well as cot attachments for multiples, twins or a single rider of varying age. Its sturdy construction and the flexibility of its seating configuration indicate that this high-end model is worth the price when you plan to keep it for a long period of time.

Safety

A well-constructed stroller is safe for the child sitting in the seat, as well as for the parent pushing it. Alli Cavasino is a certified child passenger safety specialist, suggests you choose strollers that have ergonomic handlebars that are easy to use breaks and an adjustable harness. She also suggests avoiding accessories that increase the weight of the stroller, like ride-on boards or additional child seats.

A double stroller should be sturdy enough to handle various surfaces including suburban sidewalks, paths to paved roads. It should be sturdy enough to withstand bumps and curbs easily, but flexible enough to scale steep steps or navigate steep incline. It should also be easy to fold and fit into the trunk of a vehicle without restricting its size or maneuverability.

Parents with twins or siblings close in age will need to think about a stroller that can fit two infant car seats. This allows them to move sleeping children from the car to the stroller without having them wake up. Many of our top-scoring strollers can be used with two infant car seat, including the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double or the UPPAbaby vista v2 Double.

The double pram buggy joovy bundle is another option. It includes two infant car seats as well as an add-on rumble chair which can be turned into a second seat when your children outgrow the car seat. It features stadium seating with plenty of leg room and can be set up to make your children face eachother or the world. It cannot accept two bassinets, a baby car seat, or riding boards simultaneously. However, it is a great option for families with several young children.
