Size

Size is a crucial factor to consider when choosing a double stroller that includes car seats for your infant. Parents should be able to navigate the stroller with ease on crowded sidewalks and through narrow subway gates, which means it should be compact and slim. In addition, the stroller should be easy to fold and small enough to fit in the trunk of a car or a smaller vehicle for storage.

If you plan on having twins or children very similar in age, think about purchasing a double stroller that has two seats that can be able to accommodate infant car seats. These options will be more expensive than other double strollers however they offer an extended stroller life and can be used through toddlerhood or even past. Our top pick is the UPPAbaby V2 Double, offers a range of seating configurations. It can accept two toddler seats or infant seats that can be converted into bassinets.

We also prefer strollers that work with a range of infant car seat brands. This allows families to have a wider selection to choose from. For instance, the UPPAbaby Vista can work with the UPPAbaby Mesa and several other infant car seats using adapters. It also is compatible with the Baby Jogger Glider Board for a third, standing passenger.

Some parents purchase a single to double stroller, which can be adapted to accommodate an additional child. We recommend purchasing what you need now.

The seating arrangement in a double stroller, which includes an infant car seat could also make or break the bond between siblings, particularly if they 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 will be heavier. It's crucial to take into account this weight when deciding on your ideal model, particularly when you'll be using it for long jogs or walks. The best models will be able to handle the extra weight with minimal shifting and swaying.

It's also worth weighing the cost of a double stroller versus its durability. The more expensive strollers are constructed better and come with more seating configurations which means they last longer than their lower-cost counterparts. The cheap double buggy bundle from Joovy is a good example. It accepts adapters to fit two infant car seats and can accommodate a second rider via a bassinet that connects. This setup is suitable for twins, children of different ages, or siblings with an age gap.

Its side-by-side seat design can accommodate twins or children with different ages. It can also be customized with accessories like twin bassinets with dual canopies. This stroller can be used for multiple purposes. It also has a quick fold and a tiny footprint that makes it easier to be tucked away in a trunk.

However it's a great option for a lot of families.

Some double strollers feature a more complex method of attaching and disconnecting the car seat. For instance the UPPAbaby vist double requires you to push down, and then hear a loud click, in order to know that it is properly secured.
