A Double Car Seat Stroller Is a Must-Have For Twins Or Two Young Kids

A double stroller that has two car seats is a must for toddlers and twins. The Joovy TwinRoo+ allows infant car seats facing either direction, and has a stand-and-sit configuration for older children.

A baby jogger is a different option for parents who want to take their children on a run journey. Which stroller is right for you?

Easy to Fold

The best double strollers are easy to fold, regardless of whether you're trying to store them in your car or fitting them through the doorway. Most models have an option to push a lever that flips the seat back and folds it up for storage in a compact space. Some models come with a handle at the top that you can use to lift the stroller and carry it, while others come with an integrated kickstand to keep the stroller upright when folded.

If you have twins, or are planning to have more children in the future, a double stroller that includes two infant car seats as well as an add-on board is ideal option. One of the most popular options is the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, which is able to accept all types of infant car seats and has stadium seating so both kids can enjoy the sights. This model does not "snap" the car seats into position instead, you simply strap them on using a strap net and the rim of the car seat rests on the frame's edge.

Consider a stroller that has front and rear wheels that lock to allow for better steering on uneven terrain. A three-position handle with padding provides the user with comfort and control, while the parent tray includes two cup holders as well as a covered storage compartment. Certain models come with an basket that is larger and can hold more equipment.

For those who love the outdoors, a jogging stroller could be a better option than a standard stroller, however, it can be difficult to lift and carry around with no handle. Some strollers with a jogging feature a hook for attaching an infant car seat to give parents an additional eight months of walking time, however this is a risk for babies under six months and should be discussed with your pediatrician prior making the decision to use. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 2 off road double buggy are lightweight and have convenient one-hand, standing folds. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is also a great option for outdoor activities and can seat one child in the main seat, or two toddler seats that can be converted to bassinet-style seating.

Sturdy

A double stroller with car seat stroller can be an invaluable tool for families on moving. It should be durable enough to be able to traverse all surfaces from suburban sidewalks to park trails, and also comfortable for infants that may need to lay flat to toddlers who want to sit up and explore. Idealy, it should be able to accommodate different seating arrangements for children of different age groups. It can also be easily tucked away in the trunk of your vehicle.

This multi-functional tandem stroller from CYBEX can be used on different terrains. It can accommodate one car seat for infants and has an adjustable toddler seat. Its adjustable foot and leg rests keep children comfortable, and its generous UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows offer both seats plenty of sun protection. Kids can ride in either of the seats or stand on the baby bouncer board. The buckles that do not require rethreading were among the most simple to use in our tests, making it easy to get into and out.

This double pram pushchair stroller is small and lightweight despite being a two-person stroller. It has plenty of storage space, including a huge cargo net underneath the seats and a large bag on the top. The cushioned handlebars are popular with parents, however the seat backs don't fully collapse into the flat position.

It does not work with infant car seats, but can fit two of the top-rated convertible seats and has an easy cup holder that can be used by each rider. The seats have an unrethread safety harness that is easy and quick to secure. They also have ample storage under the seat without causing disturbance to passengers.

Convenient Storage

The amount of storage that a stroller provides is crucial particularly when you're carrying two children and their toys. Some of our favorites, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, offer plenty of storage space, including a huge basket that can hold both children's snacks and adult items. The UPPAbaby's one-hand folding system is simple and won't cause back pain.

Other models, such as the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller are smaller and have less space but offer decent versatility for a low price. This model is compatible with 23 different infant car seats and cradles each one, which is a huge advantage compared to other twin frames that strap cars into place and aren't made to last as long as the car seat that is used for infants.

Parents of twins often choose a tandem stroller that is able to accommodate both infant car seats simultaneously. However, these strollers are more expensive and will last longer as the children grow. For a more budget-friendly option that can still function as your twins grow choose a wagon that's designed to carry both car seats for children and comes with two canopy options and a handy tray for parents with cup holders.

While it's crucial to make sure your stroller is capable of handling all the weight and motion that you'll be putting on it, you'll need to ensure that your children are able to sit comfortably. Our test participants looked for padding, an easy adjustable shoulder height straps and buckles that do not require two hands to operate. Certain models, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand are equipped with reclining seats that let children rest comfortably. Others, like the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite or Graco Duet, have seats with limited recline options.

Another thing to think about is the location and number of sunshades. Certain models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot, have dual canopies that cover both seats while others, such as the Joovy Caboose and Graco Duet, have only one canopy, with a window that opens to let the rear passenger in. It is a good idea to consider this if your child is prone to falling asleep in a particular position. But it's crucial to remember that the window only provides only a small amount of coverage.

Confortable

The most important aspect of a stroller to think about is its ease of use. Look for a sturdy, well-padded seat that is big enough for both kids and has reclining positions. The canopy should offer enough shade and the tray for parents should have two cup holders. Other useful features include a foot brake, lockable front wheels and a parent organizer which can store snacks and diaper bags.

The best double strollers for cars include safety features to help your child feel secure. Select a stroller with a 5-point harness that holds your child's hips and shoulders, which are the most rigid parts of their body. This type of restraint is safer than a lap belt as it transfers the most intense forces from an accident into the seat.

It's also a good idea to consider how well the stroller will fit in your home. You should make sure the stroller can fit in your closet or trunk before purchasing it. It is also important to determine the width of any doors that you'll need to pass through with the stroller in its open. The standard doorways are between 30 to 36 inches wide. However there are some that are narrower.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly option for your budget, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers versatile seating that works with two infant car seats as well as two toddler seats that can face either forward or backward. This model is comparable with some of the higher-end double strollers. But it's cheaper for families that are growing. The one-hand fold and front foot brake make it simple to move around, while the cushioned 3-position handle is ideal for mom or dad. The large cargo basket is a practical back zippered compartment that can be used to access larger items. The rear and front swivels have suspension to ensure a smooth ride on different terrains. The no-rethread belt makes it easy to fasten your child's seatbelts. It's machine washable and easy to spot clean, too.
