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

A double buggy with car seat stroller with two car seats is essential for twins and young children. The Joovy TwinRoo+ allows infant car seats to face either direction, and has the option of a sit-and-stand configuration for older children.

Another option is a baby jogger that is perfect for parents who want to take their kids on a run. Which stroller is right for you?

Easy to Fold

The most comfortable double push chair (moved here) strollers are simple to fold, whether trying to stow them in your car or fitting them in a doorway. Most models have a lever or button that flips the seat back and folds the base to make it a compact twin stroller storage. Some models come with a handle at the top which you can use to lift the stroller and carry it, while other models have a built-in kickstand that can hold the stroller upright when folded.

A double stroller that is able to accommodate two infant car seats and an additional riding board is an excellent choice if you have twins or plan to have more than one child in the future. One of the most popular options is the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go, which can accept any brand of infant car seats and features seating in a stadium so that both children can enjoy the sights. This model does not "snap" the car seats into place instead, you simply strap them in with strap nets and the car seat's rim rests on the edge of the frame.

If you want to shop or walk along a sidewalk in the city, consider a stroller with front and rear wheels that lock to allow for better control over rough terrain. The parent tray features two cup holders, a padded storage space, and a padded handle with three positions for comfort and control. Some models come with an large basket that can accommodate more gear.

A jogging-stroller can be a great option for outdoor enthusiasts. However it can be a challenge to lift and carry without a handle. Some jogging strollers have hooks to attach an infant car seat to give parents an additional eight months of walking time. However, this is a risk for infants under six months and should be discussed with your pediatrician before attempting. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 2 Double are light and feature convenient one-hand, standing folds. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is also a great option for outdoor activities. It can accommodate one child in the main seat, or two toddler seats that can be converted into bassinet-style seating.

Sturdy

When families are on the move, a double stroller can be an invaluable tool. It must be robust enough to travel over different surfaces smoothly including suburban sidewalks and park trails, and also comfortable for infants that may need to lie flat or toddlers who prefer to sit up and explore. Ideally, it should be able of accommodating various seating arrangements for children of different stages of development. It should also fit neatly into the trunk of your car.

This multi-functional tandem stroller from CYBEX is a good option for tackling many types of terrain. It can accommodate one infant car seat and comes with an adjustable toddler seat. The footrests and leg rests are adjustable to keep children comfortable. Its 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 of the seats or sit on the baby bouncer board. The buckles that do not require rethreading were among the easiest to use in our tests, making it easy to get into and out.

Despite being a double stroller, this one is extremely light and compact. It has plenty of storage space, including a large cargo net underneath the seats, and a huge bag on the top. Parents appreciate the padded handlebars and the way that the seats recline, but some find the seat backs do not fully collapse to the flat position.

Another lightweight double buggy, barebones tandem stroller is this model from Kolcraft which weighs less than 23lbs and can accommodate children up to 40 lbs per seat (80 lbs total). It has nice-sized pop-out canopies that provide real shade. They also have windows that can be opened, a self-standing fold with straps for carrying that make it easy for moving around and a 7-inch swivel lock front wheels as well as 10-inch back wheels that have suspension for a smooth and comfortable ride.

This low-cost double jogging stroller is the lightest that we've tested. It's a great option for families who have two babies of similar age. It does not work with infant car seats, but can fit two of the top-rated convertible seats and features a convenient cup holder for each rider. The seats feature safety harnesses that don't need to be rethread, which is simple and quick to secure. They also have plenty of storage space under the seat, without causing disturbance to passengers.

Convenient Storage

The amount of storage that a stroller provides is crucial, especially when you're hauling two children and their supplies. Some of our top picks such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 double buggy side by side and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, have plenty of storage space, including a huge basket that can be used to store both children's snacks and adult items. The UPPAbaby's one-hand folding system is easy and doesn't strain your back.

Other models, such as the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller are smaller and have smaller spaces, but offer good range of features for a cheap price. This model works with 23 different infant car seats and cradles every seat, which is a huge advantage over other twin frames that simply attach cars to each other and aren't made to last as long as the car seat for infants.

Many parents of twins select a tandem model that can handle both infant car seats simultaneously, but these strollers often cost a lot more than single strollers and have a shorter lifespan as kids become older. For a less expensive option that can still function when your twins get bigger, look for a stroller that can carry both car seats for children and features dual canopies and a parent tray that is convenient with cup holders.

While it's important to ensure your stroller is capable of handling all the weight and motion you're going to be putting on it, you'll also want to make sure your kids can sit comfortably. Our test participants looked for padding, good shoulder height strap adjustment, and simple buckles that don't require two hands to operate. Some models, such as 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.

The number and location of sunshades are important. Some models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 or Evenflo Pivot have two canopies to cover both seats. Others, such as the Joovy Caboose or Graco Duet have a single canopy that has a window for the rear passenger. It's a good idea to use this type of canopy if your child is known to fall asleep in a specific position. However, it is crucial to remember that the window will only provide minimal coverage.

Comfortable

The most important aspect of a stroller is the ease of use. Find a sturdy, well-padded seat that's large enough for both kids and also has recline positions. The canopy should provide adequate shade and the tray for parents should include two cup holders. Other useful features include locking front wheels, as well as a parent organizer with snacks and diaper bags.

The top double strollers for cars also have safety features to make your child feel secure. Choose a model that has five points of safety harness that protects your child's shoulders and hips - the most rigid areas of their body. This type of restraint is safer than a lap belt because it shifts the force from an accident away and into the seat.

You should also consider how the stroller will fit into your home. Most parents have a limited amount of storage space, so be sure that the stroller will fit in your closet or trunk before you buy it. It is also important to measure any doorways you will have to cross when the stroller is in use. Doors that are standard size are between 30 and 36 inches wide, however some are wider.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly alternative 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 forward or backward. It's comparable to some of the top-end double strollers. But it's cheaper for families that are growing. The one-hand fold and front foot brake make it simple to maneuver, while the 3-position handle that is padded is ideal for mom or dad. The large cargo basket is a practical access compartment in the rear for larger items. The swivels in the rear and front have suspension for an easy ride across different terrains. The no-rethread belt makes it simple to fasten your child's seatbelts. It's machine washable, and easy to spot clean too.
