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

A double car seat stroller is a must-have for twins or two toddlers. One alternative is the Joovy TwinRoo+, allows infant car seats to face either way and comes with a sit-and stand configuration for older kids.

Another option is a baby jogger, which is perfect for parents who want to take their kids on a running adventure. Which stroller is right for you?

Easy to Fold

The best double strollers fold easily regardless of whether you want to squeeze them into your car or through a narrow doorway. The majority of models have a lever or button that flips the seat back and folds it up to make it a compact storage. Some also have a handle on the top of the stroller, which allows you to lift and carry the entire thing, while some have an integrated kickstand which holds the stroller upright until you're ready take it out again.

A double stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats and an add-on riding board is a great option if you're a parent of twins or are planning to have more than one child in the future. The Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go is a well-liked option. It accepts all infant car seats and has a stadium seating for both children to take in the sights. This model, however, does not "snap" the car seats in the frame; instead, you strap them on using an elastic strap and the edge of the car seat rests on the edge of the frame.

Consider a stroller that has front and rear wheels which lock to provide better control on terrain that is uneven. The parent tray features two cup holders, a covered storage space, and a padded handle that has three positions for comfort and control. Some models have bigger baskets that can accommodate more equipment.

A jogging-stroller can be a great alternative for outdoor enthusiasts. However it can be a challenge to carry and lift without a designated handle. Some jogging strollers have hooks that can be used to attach an infant car seat, which can give parents up to eight months more time to walk. However, this can be risky for infants younger than six months. It is best to discuss it with your pediatrician prior to making a decision. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 2 double push chair are lightweight twin buggy and have convenient one-hand standing folds. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, which can seat two toddler seats or one child in the main seating position is a great option for outdoor activities.

Sturdy

A double running stroller stroller is an essential tool for families on the move. It must be robust enough to navigate different surfaces smoothly including suburban sidewalks and park trails, and also comfortable for infants who may need to lie flat to toddlers who want to sit up and explore. It should allow for multiple seating arrangements to accommodate children of different age groups and fit comfortably in the trunk of your car.

This versatile tandem stroller from CYBEX is a great choice to conquer a variety of terrain. It is compatible with one car seat for infants and comes with a reclining toddler seat. The footrests and legs that are adjustable ensure that children are comfortable. Its generous UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows and adjustable leg rests offer ample sun protection for both seats. The baby bouncer that is available lets kids ride in either of the seats or stand on it. The buckles that do not require rethreading were among the most simple to use in our tests, making it easy to get in and out.

Despite being a double, this stroller is extremely light and compact. The stroller has a lot of storage space, including a large cargo net underneath the seats, and a huge bag on top. Parents are awed by the padded handlebars as well as the way that the seats recline. However, some complain that the seat backs don't fully collapse to the flat position.

A similar lightweight, barebones tandem stroller is this one from Kolcraft which weighs less than 23lbs and can carry children up to 40 lbs per seat (80 pounds total). It comes with nice-sized pop-out canopy that provide real shade. They also have windows that peek out and a self-standing fold that has straps for carrying that make it easy for schlepping and a 7-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels that have suspension to ensure a smooth ride.

This budget-friendly double running stroller stroller is the lightest frame we tested, and it's a great option for families with two children of similar age. It's not compatible with infant car seat, but can fit two of the top-rated convertible seats and features a convenient cup holder for each user. The seats have a no-rethread harness that's quick and easy to secure, and the ample undercarriage storage is accessible without disturbing your passengers.

Convenient Storage

The amount of storage that a stroller has is crucial, especially when you're hauling around two kids as well as their belongings. Some of our favorites, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand double stroller with car seat Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, have plenty of storage space, including an extra-large basket that can hold the kids' snacks as well as adult gear. And the UPPAbaby's hassle-free fold that is one-hand means you don't need to strain your back when you're ready to put it away.

Other models, such as the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller, have less space, but provide decent versatility for a low price. This model is compatible with 23 different infant carseats and cradles every seat. It's a major advantage over other twin frames that simply strap the car into place. They're not designed to last as long.

Parents of twins typically opt for a tandem stroller that is able to accommodate both infant car seats simultaneously. However they are more expensive and last less when the children get older. For a less expensive option that still works when your twins get bigger, look for an option that is designed to transport both car seats and features dual canopies and a parent tray that is convenient with cup holders.

It's crucial that your stroller is able to take the weight and the movement your children will be carrying however, you also want them to be seated comfortably. Our testers looked at padding, shoulder straps that were simple to adjust and buckles that don't require more than one hand to operate. Certain models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Evenflo Pivot Xpand have reclining seats, which allow children to relax in a comfy position. Others, like the Joovy Cabose Ultralight graphite or Graco Duet have seats with only a few reclining options.

Another feature to consider is the number and location of sunshades. Certain models, like the UPPAbaby Vista v2 or Evenflo Pivot have two canopy options to cover both seats. Others, like the Joovy Caboose or Graco Duet have only one canopy, which has windows for the rear passenger. It is a good idea to consider this if your child is known to fall asleep in a certain position. But it's crucial to remember that the window only provides only a small amount of coverage.

Comfortable

The most important aspect of strollers is how comfortable it is to use. Choose an area that is big enough to accommodate both children and has reclining positions. The canopy should offer enough shade and the parent tray should have two cup holders. Other features to consider include a foot brake, locking front wheels and a parent organizer which can store snacks and diaper bags.

The top double car seat strollers offer safety features that help your children feel secure. Choose a model with a 5-point harness that holds your child's shoulders and hips, the most rigid parts of their body. This type of restraint is safer than a lap belt since it shifts the extreme forces from an accident and into the seat.

It is also important to consider how the stroller will fit in your home. You must ensure that the stroller will fit in your trunk or closet before you purchase it. Also, you should measure the width of any doorways that you'll have to go through with the stroller in its open. Standard doorways are between 30 and 36 inches wide, but some are wider.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an excellent budget-friendly choice. It comes with two infant car seats and two modified toddler seats that can be set either backward or forward. This model is similar to a few higher-end double car seat strollers but it's more affordable for families with growing children. Its one-hand-activated fold and a front foot break allow for easy maneuvering with a padded three-position handle is able to accommodate dad or mom. A convenient zippered compartment is situated under the large cargo basket for larger items. The front and rear swivel wheels are equipped with suspension to provide an easy ride on all terrains. The belt is not rethread, making it easy to fasten your child's seatbelts. It's machine washable and easy to spot clean, too.
