Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat A double stroller that includes an infant car seat is essential for twins or two children of close age. If you plan to buy one, it's crucial to take into consideration your budget and the length of time you hope to use the stroller for. Kate liked the fact that the stroller was lightweight and easy to maneuver. She also liked that it folds up easily, but she did find the buckles magnetic hard to fasten. Size When choosing a double stroller and 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 that it should be fairly small and compact. In addition the stroller must be easy to fold and small enough to fit into a trunk or smaller vehicle for storage. If you are planning to have twins or children who are very similar in age, consider getting a double stroller that has 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 into toddlerhood or even beyond. For instance, our top pick the UPPAbaby Vista Double has a wide range of seating options and can accommodate two infant car seats or toddler seats that convert into bassinets. We also love strollers that are compatible with different infant car seat brands and offers more strollers for families to pick from. For instance, the UPPAbaby Vista can work with the UPPAbaby Mesa and several other infant car seats that have adapters, and also is compatible with the Baby Jogger Glider Board for the third, standing person. Many parents buy a double or single stroller that can be adjusted to accommodate another child. We recommend buying what you need now. There is a chance that an additional child arrive later than you anticipated or your first child may not be capable of walking. Additionally, the type of seating in a double stroller that includes an infant car seats can make or break siblings' relationships, especially for children who are close in age. Weight Double strollers are generally heavier than single models. Double strollers come with two seats, and they carry more cargo. The weight of the stroller is therefore heavier. This is a factor to take into consideration when selecting the best model, especially if you plan on using it for long walks and running. The best models will handle the extra weight with minimal flexing and swaying. It's also worth considering the cost of a double stroller against its durability. The top models provide good build and seating flexibility, which means they'll last longer than budget-friendly models. The double bundle from Joovy, for instance, accepts adapters for two infant car seats and can accommodate a secondary rider via a bassinet that connects. This configuration can work for twins, children of different ages, or siblings with a gap in age. Budget-conscious parents may consider the Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go an appealing option since it is compatible with two infant car seats and can convert into a tandem (single-file) stroller. It is lightweight and compact, making it easy to maneuver even with the extra weight. Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double. It's comparable to models that have won awards, but are more expensive and offer various seating options. Its side-by-side seat design can be used to accommodate twins or children of different ages. It can also be customized by adding additional features like dual canopies or twin bassinets. This stroller can be used for multiple purposes. It also has an easy fold and a small footprint, making it easier to be tucked away in a trunk. It's not intended for use until children can sit up unassisted, however it is designed for babies who require a carry or placed in a car seat. Convenience It is easy to transfer your infant car seat from the car to the stroller can make family trips simpler and less stressful. You can easily click the seat into position and move the stroller without folding it while holding a baby and a toddler. This is a great option for long trips, when you don't want to have to unbuckle and then buckle your child every few minutes. Parents with twins typically prefer an option that can accommodate two infant car seats at the same time. The Graco Fast Action Flip, for instance, provides this capability and comes with the added benefit of a bench seat for older siblings. However, it's not compatible with all brands of infant car seats, and it's too heavy for certain families. Some parents choose a double-stroller equipped with an integrated car seat adapter, which works with all major infant car safety seats. The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo is a great option, and it comes in at a very friendly price for what you get. It's not the most ideal double-stroller since it works with one. However it's an excellent choice for many families. Other double strollers have a more complex procedure to attach and detach the car seat. For example, the UPPAbaby vist v2 double requires you to press down, and then hear a loud clicking sound in order to be sure that it is properly secured. It's a little more challenging to use in a parking garage, especially if your kids are tired or hungry. And while it does grow with your family, we don't think it's the best choice for parents of twins because you'll have to purchase an additional toddler seat when your kids are old enough to use it. Durability A double stroller that includes an infant car seat must be sturdy and built for long-term use. It should also fit your budget and lifestyle, whether you intend to use it for a few years or many more. Consider the quality of the stroller's fabric and its components, including its tires, when making your purchase. A stroller with a large and deep basket can hold plenty of diapers, groceries and other supplies. A large console for parents with cup holders is useful, as well as a sun canopy which provides adequate coverage. Also, ensure that the stroller is able manage off-road terrain and narrow city sidewalks. Push Chairs And Prams of twins may prefer a side-by-side stroller to ensure the same access and view to both children. Parents with children of different ages might opt for a tandem stroller that allows the rear child's seat to be adjusted by raising or lowering it. Tandem strollers tend to be bulkier than single strollers, however, and can cause sibling squabbles in the event that the seats are different heights. A stroller with a handlebar that is adjustable can help you adjust it to the ideal height for you, and a one-hand fold mechanism is a useful feature. A small footprint is another aspect to think about. It should fit easily in your trunk, and will require only a little storage space. A modular stroller such as 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 groups. The sturdy construction and flexibility in seating configurations make it a great purchase if you intend to keep it for many years. Safety A quality stroller must be safe for children who are in the seat as well as the parent pushing them. Alli Cavasino is a certified child-passenger safety technician, suggests you choose strollers that have ergonomic handlebars with easy-to-use breaks and a harness that can be adjusted. She also suggests avoiding accessories that add weight of a stroller for children such as ride-on boards or extra child seats. A double stroller must be sturdy enough to handle different surfaces including suburban sidewalks, park trails to paved roads. It should be robust enough to traverse bumps and curbs with ease and also able to be adapted to maneuver over a steep incline or up and down stairways. Additionally it should be easy to fold and fit into a trunk without sacrificing its size or maneuverability. Parents of twins or children close in age will need to think about a stroller that accommodates two car seats for infants. This will allow them to have the ability to move sleepy children from the car to the stroller without disturbing them. A majority of our top-scoring strollers are compatible with two car seats for infants like the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double and the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double. The joovy double bundle is another alternative. It includes two infant car seats and an add-on rumble chair that can be transformed into a second seat once your kids outgrow the car seat. It has stadium seating with plenty of legroom and can be set up so that your kids face each other or the entire world. It cannot accept two bassinets as well as an infant car seat, or riding boards at the exact same time. However, it is a great choice for families with several young children.
