Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat

A double stroller with infant car seat is a necessity for twins or two children with similar ages. If you're planning to purchase one, it's important to consider your budget and how long you're planning to use the stroller for.

Kate loved that the stroller was light and easy to maneuver. She also liked that it folds easily, though she did find the buckles magnetic difficult to fasten.

Size

When selecting a double stroller and infant car seat the size is a major aspect to consider. The stroller should be small and slim enough that parents are able to easily maneuver it through crowded sidewalks or through the narrow subway gates. The stroller should also be compact and easy to fold so that it can fit in the trunk of a small vehicle.

If you are planning to have twins or children close in age, think about purchasing a double stroller that has two seats that can fit infant car seats. These options will be more expensive than other double strollers however, they come with an extended stroller life and can be used through toddlerhood or even past. For instance, our top pick the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double comes with a variety of seating options and can accommodate two infant car seats or toddler seats that convert into bassinets.

We also like strollers that work with many different infant car seats which means that there is more strollers for families to pick from. The UPPAbaby vista, for example, can accept the UPPAbaby mesha and other infant car seats that have adapters. It also works with the Baby Jogger Glider Board to accommodate a third person standing.

Many parents buy a double or single stroller that can be adjusted to accommodate another child. We suggest that you purchase what you need right now. The second child may arrive later than you anticipated or your first child might not be a fan of walking. The type of seating you can use in a double stroller, which includes an infant car seat can also affect the relationship between siblings, especially if they are close in age.

double infant stroller are heavier than single models. They have two seats as well as more cargo, which means the final pushing weight is greater. It's crucial to take into account this weight when deciding on the best model, particularly in the event that you'll use it for long jogs or walks. The most effective models are designed to handle the additional load with a minimum of movement or swaying.

It's also worth considering the price of a double stroller versus its longevity. The higher-end models offer a good build and seating flexibility that suggests they'll last longer than the budget rivals. The joovy Qool double bundle, for example, accepts car seat adapters to fit two infant carseats. It also can accommodate a second child through an attachable bassinet. This configuration can work for twins, kids of different ages, or siblings with an age gap.

The Baby Trend Double Snap N'Go is a great option for parents on a budget, as it can be converted into a tandem stroller (single file) and can accommodate two infant car seat. It's light and compact making it easy to maneuver, even with the additional weight.

Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double. It's comparable to the more expensive award winners and supports multiple seating options for children of different ages and stages. The side-by-side design of the seat allows for twins or kids with varying ages. Additionally, it can be customized with accessories like dual canopy, twin bassinets or modified seats that act as toddler seats. It can be folded easily and has a compact footprint, making it easier to fit into a trunk. The stroller is not designed to be used until children are able sit up without assistance, so infants younger than that need to be carried or put in a car seat.

Convenience

It is easier and less stressful to take your family on a trip when you can transfer your infant's car seat seamlessly from the vehicle to the stroller. Instead of trying to fold a stroller while keeping one hand on the baby and the other on a toddler, simply click the seat into place and begin moving. This is a great convenience for long-distance trips, as you don't want to unbuckle and return your child to the seat every few minutes.





Many parents with twins choose a travel system which can accommodate two infants in the car seat at the same time. The Graco Fast Action Flip offers this feature, and comes with an adjustable bench seat that can be used by older siblings. However, it's not compatible with all types of infant car seats and it's too heavy for some families.

Other parents would prefer a double stroller that has an integrated car seat adapter that can be used with the majority of infant car seats. The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo is an excellent option, and it comes in at a price that is very reasonable for what you get. It's not the best double-stroller since it works with one. However, it's a good choice for families with multiple children.

Other double strollers have a more complex process for attaching and disconnecting the car seat. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double, for example, requires that you push down and then hear a loud click to ensure it's properly secured. It can be a bit more difficult to use in parking lots especially if you have hungry or tired children. While it grows with your family, we don't consider it the best option for parents of twins. You will have to purchase an additional toddler chair when your children reach an age.

Durability

A double stroller that includes an infant car seats must be built to last. It should also fit your budget and lifestyle, whether you intend to use it for few years or more. Take into consideration the quality of the stroller's fabric and the components, including the tires, before making your purchase.

Find a stroller that has a an ample and deep storage basket that can hold plenty of diapers, food items, and other supplies. A large console for parents with cup holders can be useful, as is a sun canopy that provides adequate coverage. Make sure the stroller can handle off-road terrain and narrow city sidewalks.

Parents of twins may choose an equilateral stroller to give the same level of visibility and accessibility to both children, while those with children with different ages may prefer a tandem model that allows the rear child to be lowered or raised. Tandem strollers are heavier than single strollers, and can cause siblings to fight, especially if they have seats that are different heights.

A stroller that has an adjustable handlebar allows you to adjust the height to suit your needs. Also the one-hand folding mechanism is convenient. A compact footprint is a further feature to think about. It should be able to fit into your trunk and will require a small amount of storage space.

A modular stroller, like the CYBEX Gazelle is a model that offers unbeatable flexibility. You can mix and combine the cots and seating units to accommodate multiples, twins or one child of various age groups. Its sturdy construction and seating configuration versatility suggest that this model is worth the investment when you plan to keep it for a long time.

Safety

A quality stroller must be safe for both children who are in the seat as well as the parent who pushes them. Certified child passenger safety technician Alli Cavasino suggests looking for strollers that have ergonomic handlebars, brakes that are easy to use and a seat harness that is adjustable. She also suggests avoiding any accessories that add weight of a stroller for children, like ride-on boards and additional child seats.

A double stroller must be sturdy enough to maneuver various surfaces with ease including suburban sidewalks and park trails. It should be sturdy enough to handle curbs and bumps without difficulty and yet flexible enough to scale steep steps or negotiate steep slopes. In addition it should be easy to fold and fit into a car trunk without losing its dimensions or maneuverability.

Parents of twins or other siblings who are similar in age might think about a double stroller which can accommodate two car seats for infants. This allows them to transfer asleep children from the car to the stroller without having them wake up. Many of our top-scoring strollers are compatible with two infant car seat, including the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double or the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double.

Another alternative is the joovy Qool double bundle, which can be used with two infant car seats (car seat adapters sold separately) and comes with an add-on Rumble seat that can be converted into a second one when your children outgrow their car seat. It features a stadium-style seating arrangement with ample space for legs and can be configured to let your kids interact with each other or the world. It can't accept two bassinets or an infant car seat and riding board at the same time however it's a great choice for families with multiple young children.
