Buying a Double Infant Stroller

A double stroller provides parents with multiple children a comfortable way to get them around. The best models are easy to fold and carry, fit well in a car trunk and provide a variety of seating arrangements for children of varying age groups.

If your children are close in age, you might decide that a sit-and stand or side-byside style is the best method to avoid fighting between siblings over which seat to choose. We also like the options that allow two infant car seats, such as the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double.

Comfort

A stroller that is comfortable and safe for both your toddler and baby. Pick one with cushioned seats, a large base and swiveling front wheels to smooth bumps on the road, and buckles that are simple to fasten and unfasten.

Another comfort feature is adjustable footrests, which let your child stand up in the back of the seat when they are tired. Some Double Infant Strollers strollers, like the top-selling model from Safety 1st, offer this option for both children.

The number of seats in the stroller will be contingent on the weight and age of the children who will be using it. A side-by-side baby stroller lets you to watch two children at the same time, making it ideal for twins or siblings of similar age. It's more spacious than other types of strollers, and can be difficult to maneuver in crowded or narrow areas.
