Buying a double Stroller for tall parents Infant Stroller

A double stroller provides parents with multiple children a comfortable way to get them around. The best strollers are lightweight and easy to fold and carry and can easily fit in the trunk of a car and have a variety of seating options for children of varying age groups.

Parents with children close in age may find that a side by side or sit-and-stand design is the best to avoid sibling squabbles about who is allowed to ride in which seat. We also like options which accept two infant car seats, such as the UPPAbaby v2 double.

Comfort

It is crucial that your baby and toddler are at ease in the stroller. Select one with cushioned seats, a large base and swiveling front wheels to smooth out bumps in the road and buckles that are easy to fasten and unfasten.

You could also consider a generous, UPF 50+ canopy that offers sun protection and plenty of coverage for both kids. Adjustable footrests let your child to stand in the rear seat if they are tired. Some double strollers, like the most popular model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.

The number of seats you can put in your stroller is contingent on the ages and weights of the kids who are riding in it. For instance, a side by side stroller lets you keep an eye on both children at the same time and is ideal for twins or siblings close in age. It's larger than other models and isn't easy to maneuver through crowded or narrow spaces.

On the other hand, a sit-and-stand stroller allows older siblings to stand while you push your younger child in a car seat for infants. It's not ideal for newborns but it's suitable when your kids are around three years old and can walk for longer distances.

Another alternative is a convertible stroller which offers multiple seating arrangements and can be used as a double or single for a number of years. Rebecca says that this type of stroller is an excellent option for parents who intend to purchase one stroller and use it with both children. It's more expensive than the top tandem model however it will last many years and has the best resale value she adds.

This stroller by UPPAbaby is a double pushchair with car seat stroller that converts into a single or a toddler-and-RumbleSeat configuration. It's not as compact as some of the other options we tested, but it has sleek, modern designs and high-quality materials. It's compatible with UPPAbaby infant car seats, and comes with a telescoping handlebar as well as brakes that are easy to press. It has foam-filled wheels that won't flatten and a large storage bin.

Ease of Use

A double stroller isn't an investment that is cheap, and parents are often looking for a model that's easy to use. It should have a variety of features like the capability to fold the stroller in a compact manner and adjust the handlebar height to accommodate different types of users. Some models have multiple storage compartments to allow families to separate belongings for easy access. They also have parent consoles and organizer bags to keep phones, keys and other essentials on the ready.

A stroller should be able to adapt to the changing requirements of your family as time goes by. Evenflo Pivot Xpand double buggy with car seat, for example, is a budget-friendly stroller that includes a modular system. This allows you to add a second seat, transform the stroller into a triple by adding a board, or switch it to a single mode by adding a rear bench. This flexibility can make double strollers last as long as you want it to.

In terms of maneuverability, a lot of side-by-side models are difficult to maneuver, however our Lab testers were pleasantly surprised by the ease of use and maneuverability of the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. This model is compatible with our top-rated car seats for infants and can be used by twins or children of various age groups. Its telescoping handlebar and simple-to-use brakes make it easier to maneuver over the other double strollers we tried.

On the other hand the UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double features sleek design and a large storage basket that can hold two toddler car seats or one infant car seat and a regular child seat. It can also be used by one child up to the age of three and offers a smooth ride thanks to its foam-filled tires that are designed not to go flat.

Furthermore, the UPPAbaby is super light at only 18 pounds and folds in half for a sleek package that's easy to carry and put away. It is also easy to open and close using a latch, and requires no tools to assemble. It was a top pick from our Lab experts due to its durability, shopability, and affordability.

Easy of Storage

double buggy with carrycot strollers must be able to hold diaper bags, water bottles snacks, toys, and jackets for children and parents' wallets, keys, phones and other belongings. They should also be able to slide over various surfaces and maneuver into tight spaces. When not in use they are often required to fit into the trunk of a vehicle.

To meet these needs, double strollers can be built in a wide range of styles. They can be tandem or side-byside and can also have fixed or removable seats or come with infant car seats as well as a riding board. They can be designed to accommodate a single newborn or toddler, or twins. Some are suitable for running, while others could be used on hiking trails or at the beach.

Modular designs are especially useful for families that need to grow with their strollers. The CYBEX Gazelle, for example allows parents to mix and combine seats, cots, and car seats to make the stroller suitable for the entire family from newborn to toddlerhood.

Other double strollers that are modular like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double, can be modified to fit one child by the use of bassinets or a baby seat or a toddler's with an elevated seat or standing board (sold separately). The UPPAbaby is a flexible stroller that can be set up 30 different ways. It's perfect for twins, siblings, or a growing family.

The UPPAbaby is also renowned for its green initiatives, and it is a proponent of sustainability. The UPPAbaby comes in many colors, and the fabrics are made from recycled water bottles. During testing, our tester Raul used this pushchair double stroller with his three year old daughter and five-month-old son. Raul says it was simple to unpack and assemble because the components were neatly labeled boxes, which had instructions and a video code included.

The UPPAbaby also has a telescoping handlebar, and brakes that operate with your thumb. The swiveling wheels on its front can aid in making more precise turns on sidewalks in cities.

Safety

Double strollers are often criticized for being cumbersome, difficult to maneuver and heavy. However, the most recent models are sleeker and provide many options for customization. You can find one that is compatible with an infant car seat to make it easier to travel with two children.

If you're in the market for a double stroller that can be used side-by-side, or in a line, make sure that it's JPMA-certified to ensure it conforms to safety standards. It also has to pass regular inspections. You'll want to ensure that the suspension system offers an easy ride for your children in the front seat. If your stroller is equipped with a handlebar, make sure it's adjustable to accommodate parents and dads of various heights.

A canopy can protect your child from the harsh sun and harsh weather. The most effective canopies have a reversible window or a transparent plastic peek-aboo which lets you observe your child without disturbing them. Some canopies also come with the ability to shade direct sunlight.

Another important metric to consider is how easy the stroller folds and unfolds. Strollers that are compact when folded are more convenient to store and take less space in the trunk of your car. Strollers that come with only one button to fold the chassis are also simpler to use.

When shopping for a double stroller, keep in mind how far apart your children are in age and what kind of outings you're planning to take them on. For instance, if your children are similar in age and you want to opt for a tandem high-low stroller to ensure that they can interact during outings. On the other the other hand, if you have a significant age difference then you may want to consider a side-byside model that offers them more privacy.

If you're planning to use your stroller to carry baby car seats, you should choose one with a good attachment score and that is compatible with top-rated brands. This won't have as big impact on your overall rating as other metrics but it's an important factor to consider if you're planning on using car seat adapters.
