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 children. One option is the Joovy TwinRoo+, allows infant car seats to be positioned in either direction and features a sit-and-stand configuration for older kids.

Another alternative is a baby jogger, which is ideal for parents who wish to take their kids on a running adventure. But which stroller is right for you?

Easy to Fold

The most comfortable double strollers are simple to fold, whether you're trying to store them in your car or stow them through an entranceway. Most models have an lever or button that flips the seat forward and folds the base for storage in a compact space. Some models come with a handle at the top which you can use to lift the stroller up and carry it around, while others come with an integrated kickstand that can hold the stroller when folded.

A double stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats as well as an additional riding board is a great option if you're a parent of twins or plan to have more than one child in the near future. The Baby Trend double push chair Snap-N-Go is a popular option. It can be used with all types of infant seats and also has seating for both children to enjoy the sights. This model doesn't "snap in" the car seats. Instead, you use a strap net to anchor them. The frame rests against the frame.

If you're planning to go shopping or stroll on a city sidewalk take a look at a stroller with front and rear wheels that lock to allow for better steering over uneven terrain. The parent tray features two cup holders, a protected storage area, and a cushioned handle that has three positions for comfort and control. Certain models come with an oversized basket that can hold even more gear.

A jogging-stroller is a good option for those who love to go on outdoor adventures. However it isn't easy to carry and lift without a designated handle. Some jogging strollers come with hooks for attaching an infant car seat, giving parents eight months of walking time, however this can be dangerous for babies under six months and should be discussed with your pediatrician before making the decision to use. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 2 double stroller with infant car seat are lightweight 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

When families are constantly on the move, a double stroller can be an invaluable tool. It must be sturdy enough to handle different surfaces, including parks and sidewalks in suburban areas. It is also necessary to be a comfortable fit for toddlers and infants, who may want to play and sit up. Ideally, it should also 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 is a good option to conquer a variety of terrain. It includes a reclining seat for toddlers and accepts an infant car seat. Its adjustable foot and leg rests ensure that children are comfortable, while its spacious UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows give both seats plenty of sun protection. Kids can enjoy the ride in either seat or stand on the 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.

This single double stroller stroller is compact and lightweight double pushchair despite being a two-person stroller. It has plenty of storage space, including a large cargo net underneath the seats, and a huge bag on the top. The padding on the handlebars is popular with parents, but the seat backs do not fully fold into a flat position.

Another lightweight, barebones tandem stroller is this model by Kolcraft that weighs less than 23lbs and can carry children as heavy as 40 pounds per seat (80 pounds total). It has large pop-out canopy which provide shade. They also have windows that peek out and a self-standing fold that has an adjustable strap for easy moving around and a 7-inch swivel lock front wheels as well as 10-inch rear wheels with suspension to ensure a smooth ride.

This low-cost double jogging stroller is the lightest we've tested. It's a great option for families with two children with similar ages. It's not compatible with infant car seat, but can accommodate two of the top convertible seats and features an easy cup holder that can be used by each rider. The seats feature a no-rethread harness that's quick and easy to secure, and the ample storage under the car is accessible without causing any disturbance to 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 picks such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double Stroller and 2 Car Seats bundle, offer plenty of storage space, including an extra-large basket that can accommodate both snacks for children and adult items. The UPPAbaby's one-hand folding is easy and doesn't burden your back.

Other models such as the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller are smaller in space, but they offer good flexibility for a reasonable price. This model is compatible with 23 different infant car seats and can be used to cradle every seat. It's a big advantage over other twin frames which simply fix the car into place. They're not designed to last as long.

Parents of twins usually opt for a tandem stroller that is able to accommodate both infant car seats at the same time. However these strollers are more expensive and last less as the children grow. For a more budget-friendly option that can still function when your twins get bigger choose a wagon that's designed to carry both car seats for children and features dual canopies and a parent tray that is convenient with cup holders.

While it's crucial to ensure that your stroller is capable of handling all the weight and movement you'll be putting on it, you'll need to ensure that your children are able to sit comfortably. Our testers looked at padding, shoulder strap adjustments that were simple to adjust, and buckles that don't require more than one hand to operate. Certain models, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Evenflo Pivot Xpand are equipped with reclining seats that allow children to rest comfortably. Others, like the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite or Graco Duet, have seats with limited recline options.

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

Comfortable

The most important thing about a stroller to think about is its comfort. Find an extremely comfortable, well-padded and sturdy seat that is big enough for both children and includes reclining positions. The canopy should provide enough shade and the parent tray should include two cup holders. Other useful features include locking front wheels, as well as a parent organizer that comes with diaper bags and snacks.

The top double car seat strollers also have safety features that will help your children feel secure. Pick a stroller with five points of safety harness that protects your child's shoulders and hips - the most rigid areas of their body. This shifts the most intense forces of an accident away from the abdomen and towards the seat, making this kind of restraint safer than a lap belt.

You should also consider how the stroller will fit in your home. Many parents have a limited amount of storage space, so ensure that the stroller will fit in your trunk or closet before you buy it. It is also important to determine the width of any doors that you'll have to go through with the stroller open. Standard doorways are between 30 and 36 inches wide, however some are a bit narrower.

Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a great budget-friendly option. It comes with two infant car seats and two modified toddler seats which can be placed either forward or backward. This model is comparable to some of the more expensive double strollers. However, it's much more affordable for families with growing children. Its one-hand-activated fold and a front foot break allow for easy maneuvering, while a padded 3-position handle accommodates mom or dad. Located beneath the oversized cargo basket is a practical back zippered compartment that can be used to access larger items. The rear and front swivel wheels are equipped with suspension to provide smooth riding on various terrains. The no-rethread belt makes it simple to secure your child's seatbelts. It's machine washable and simple to spot clean, too.
