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

A double car seat stroller is essential for twins or two young kids. One option is the Joovy TwinRoo+, allows infant car seats to face either direction and features a sit-and-stand configuration for older kids.

Another alternative is a baby jogger, which is ideal for parents who want to take their children on a run. What stroller is best for you?

Easy to Fold

The most reliable double strollers fold effortlessly regardless of whether you want to fit them in your car or through a narrow doorway. The majority of models come with an option lever that allows you to fold the base down and flip the seat back. Some models also include a handle on the top of the stroller, which allows you to lift and carry the whole thing, and some even include a kickstand built into the design that holds the folded stroller upright until you're ready to use it again.

A double stroller that can fit two infant car seats and an add-on riding board is a good option if you're a parent of twins or plan to have more than one child in the near future. The Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go is a popular option. It can be used with all types of infant seats and features stadium seating for both children to enjoy the sights. This model, however, does not "snap" the car seats in the frame; instead, you strap them on using strap nets 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 facilitate better steering on uneven terrain. The parent tray comes with two cup holders, a protected storage area, and a cushioned handle that has three positions for comfort and control. Certain models come with an basket that is larger and can hold even more gear.

A jogging-stroller can be a great option for outdoor enthusiasts. However it isn't easy to carry and lift without a designated handle. Some jogging strollers come with a hook to attach an infant car seat, that can provide parents with up to eight months more time to walk. However, this can be a risk for babies younger than six months. It is recommended to discuss this with your doctor first. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 2 Double are lightweight and have convenient one-hand standing folds. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, which can seat two toddlers or a child in the primary seating position is a great option for outdoor activities.

Sturdy

When families are on the go, a double stroller is an essential tool. It should be strong enough to withstand different surfaces, such as parks and sidewalks in suburban areas. It is also necessary to be comfortable for both infants and toddlers, who may want to play and sit up. It should be able to accommodate multiple seating arrangements for children of different ages and fit neatly in the trunk of your car.

This multi-functional tandem stroller from CYBEX can be used on a variety of terrains. It is compatible with one car seat for infants and includes a reclining toddler seat. The footrests and leg rests are adjustable to ensure that children are comfortable. Its generous UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows, as well as adjustable leg rests offer plenty of sun protection for both seats. Kids can ride in either seat or take turns standing on the optional baby bouncer board. The no-rethread harness buckles are among the simplest in our testing and make it simple to get them into and out.

Despite being a double, this stroller is extremely light and compact. The stroller is packed with plenty of storage space, including a massive cargo net underneath the seats and a large bag on the top. Parents love the padded handlebars and the way that the seats recline. However, some find the seat backs don't fully collapse to an entirely flat position.

The lightweight twin buggy, basic tandem stroller from Kolcraft can carry children as much as 40 pounds per seat (80 pounds in total). It weighs less than 23 pounds. It has large pop-out canopy to provide shade, peekaboo windows, and an adjustable folding mechanism that can stand on its own with the ability to carry it for easy transport.

This budget-friendly double stroller is the lightest frame we've tested, and it's a great option for families with two children with similar ages. It doesn't work with infant car seats, but it can still fit two of the top-rated convertible car seats and comes with a handy cup holder for both parents. The seats have a no-rethread harness that's quick and easy to put on, and the ample storage under the car is accessible without disturbing your passengers.

Convenient Storage

The amount of storage a stroller provides is crucial, especially when you're hauling two children and their supplies. Some of our top models come with plenty of storage. They include an extra-large basket that can be used to store the adult equipment and snacks for children. The UPPAbaby's one-hand folding is simple and won't strain your back.

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

Parents of twins typically opt for a tandem stroller which can accommodate both infant car seats simultaneously. However they are more expensive and last longer when the children get older. For a less expensive option that can still function when your twins get bigger choose a wagon that's designed to transport both car seats and has two canopy options as well as a convenient parent tray with cup holders.

While it's important to ensure your stroller is capable of handling all the weight and movement you're going to be placing on it, you'll need to ensure that your kids can sit comfortably. Our test participants searched for padding, a good shoulder height strap adjustment, and simple buckles that do not require two hands to operate. Certain models, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand, have reclining seats that allow children to rest comfortably. Others such as the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite and Graco Duet, have seats with only a couple of recline options.

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

Confortable

The most important thing to consider when choosing strollers is the ease of use. Find a seat that is spacious enough to accommodate both children and also has recline positions. The canopy should be large enough to provide some shade, and there should be a tray for the parents with two cup holders. Other features that are useful include locking front wheels and a parent organizer with diaper bags and snacks.

The best double strollers for cars also include safety features to help your child feel safe. Choose a model with 5-point harness that secures your child at the shoulders and hips, the most rigid parts of their body. This shifts the most intense forces of an accident away from the abdomen and into the seat, making this kind of restraint much safer than a lap belt.

It is also important to consider how the stroller will fit in your home. The majority of parents have a small amount of storage space, so be sure that the stroller fits in your trunk or closet before you buy it. Also, you should take measurements of any doors you need to pass through when the stroller is open. Doors that are standard size are 30 to 36 inches wide, but some are wider.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly alternative this model is a good choice. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers versatile seating that works with two infant car seats as well as two modified toddler seats that can be oriented forward or backward. This model is comparable to some of the top-end double strollers. However, it's more affordable for growing families. The one-hand fold and front foot brake make it easy to move, and the padded 3-position handle is ideal for mom or dad. Under the large cargo basket is a convenient rear zipper access compartment for larger items. The front and rear swivels have suspension for a smooth ride in different terrains. Plus, the no-rethread harness allows you to quickly and easily to secure your child's seat belts. It's machine washable and simple to spot clean too.
