Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat
A double stroller with an infant car seat may be essential if you have twins or kids with similar age. If you're thinking of purchasing a stroller, think about your budget and the length of time you'll use it for.
Kate says she likes the fact that this stroller is light and maneuvers well. She also appreciated how easily it folded, but found the buckles with magnetic buckles difficult to secure.
Size
When selecting a double stroller and infant car seats the size is a major factor to take into consideration. Parents must be able to navigate the stroller with ease on busy sidewalks and through narrow subway gates, which means that it should be compact and slim. In addition the stroller must be compact and easy to fold enough to fit in the trunk of a car or a smaller vehicle to store.
Consider a double stroller which includes two seats and can accommodate infant car seat when you plan to have twins or children who are close in age. Double strollers are more expensive, however, they last longer and can be used until the age of toddlers or beyond. Our top pick, the UPPAbaby Double, has a variety of seating options. It can accommodate two infant seats or toddler seats which convert into bassinets.
We also love strollers that are compatible with different infant car seat brands which means that there is an array of strollers for families to pick from. For example the UPPAbaby Vista is compatible with the UPPAbaby Mesa as well as other infant car seats that have adapters. It also can be used with the Baby Jogger Glider Board for a third, standing passenger.
Some parents opt to purchase a stroller that is single-to-double and can be adapted to a second child, but we recommend purchasing the items you require at the right time. The second child may arrive later than you anticipated or your first child may not take to walking. Furthermore, the style of seating on a double stroller with infant car seat can make or break siblings' relationships, especially for children who are close in age.
Weight
Double strollers weigh more than single strollers. Double strollers have two seats, and carry more cargo. The weight of the stroller will be heavier. This is an important factor to consider when choosing your preferred model, particularly in case you intend to use it for long walks and jogging. The most efficient models are engineered to handle the extra load with a minimum of shifting or swinging.
You should also consider the longevity of a double-stroller. The top models provide high-quality design and seating flexibility that suggests they'll last longer than less expensive models. The double-joovy bundle is one example. It has adapters for two infant car seats and can accommodate a secondary passenger via a bassinet that attaches. This model is perfect for twins or children of different ages or siblings who have an in-between gap.
Parents on a budget might find the Baby Trend Double Snap N-Go an attractive option, as it can accommodate two infant car seats and can be converted into a tandem (single-file) stroller. It's lightweight and compact and easy to maneuver despite the added weight.
Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double. It's comparable to the more expensive award winners and can accommodate multiple seating configurations for kids with different ages and stage. Its side-by-side seat design can be used to accommodate twins or children of different ages. It can also be customized with accessories like dual canopies or twin bassinets. It can be folded easily and has a small footprint, making it easy to fit into a trunk. It's not designed to be used until kids are able to sit without assistance, so younger babies will require assistance or placed in a car seat.
Convenience
Seamlessly transferring your infant car seat from the vehicle into the stroller can make family outings more enjoyable and less stressful. You can easily click the seat into position and move the stroller without folding it while holding a baby or a toddler. This convenience is especially useful during long trips, when you may not want to unbuckle and buckle your child every few minutes.
Many parents with twins opt for a travel system that can accommodate two infant car seats at the same time. The Graco Fast Action Flip, for example, offers this functionality and has the added benefit of having a bench seat for older siblings. It's not compatible with all infant car seats, and can be quite heavy for some families.
Other parents would prefer a double stroller with a built-in car seat adapter that works with all major infant car seats. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo offers a fantastic value for the features it has. It's not the best double-stroller, as it only works with one. However it's an excellent choice for a lot of families.
Some double strollers feature a more complex method of attaching and detaching the car seat. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double, for example, requires you to press down, and then hear a loud click to ensure it's secured properly. It's more difficult to use in parking areas especially in the case of hungry or tired children. As it grows with your family, we don't think it’s the best choice for parents of twins. You'll have to buy an additional toddler chair when your children reach an age.
Durability
A double stroller with an infant car seat needs to be sturdy and built for durability. It should also fit your budget and lifestyle whether you plan to use it for a few years or many more. Take into consideration the quality of the stroller's fabric and its components, including the tires, when making your purchase.
Look for a stroller with an ample and deep storage basket that can accommodate plenty of diapers, food items and other necessities. A large console for parents with cup holders is also beneficial, as is a sun canopy which provides adequate coverage. Also, ensure that the stroller is able to handle off-road terrain and navigate the narrow sidewalks of cities.
Parents of twins may prefer a side-by-side stroller to allow the same access and view to both children. Other parents with children of different ages may choose a tandem stroller which allows the rear child's seat to be adjusted by raising or lowering it. Tandem strollers are heavier than single strollers, and can cause siblings to fight if they are equipped with seats of different heights.
A stroller that has an adjustable handlebar can allow you to adjust the height to suit your preferences. Also the one-hand folding mechanism can be useful. Another feature to look out for is a compact footprint that fits easily in your trunk and requires minimal storage space.
A modular stroller such as the CYBEX Gazelle S provides unbeatable flexibility and allows you to mix and match seating options and cot attachments for twins, multiples, or a single rider of varying age groups. Its robust construction and the flexibility of its seating configuration suggest that this model is well worth the cost if you're planning to keep it for a long time.
Safety
A safe stroller is secure for the child sitting in the seat as well as for the person pushing it. Alli Cavasino, a certified child passenger safety technician, suggests you look for a stroller that has ergonomic handlebars with easy-to-use breaks and a movable harness. double single pushchair suggests avoiding any accessories that add weight of the stroller for children, like ride-on boards and extra child seats.
A double stroller must be strong enough to withstand various surfaces including suburban sidewalks, park trails to paved roads. It should be sturdy enough to handle curbs and bumps without difficulty, but flexible enough to scale steep steps or climb steep incline. It should also be easy to fold up and squeeze into the trunk of a vehicle without any compromise in size or maneuverability.
Parents with twins or other siblings who are close in age might want to consider a stroller that can fit two car seats for infants. This lets them transfer asleep children from the car to the stroller without them having to wake up. Many of our top-scoring strollers can be used with two infant car seats, such as the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double or the UPPAbaby vista v2 Double.
Another alternative is the joovy Qool double bundle, which works with two infant car seats (car seat adapters sold separately) and comes with an extra rumble seat that converts into a second seat when your kids outgrow their car seat. It features a stadium-style seating arrangement with ample space for legs and can be set up to allow your children to interact with each other or the world. It is not able to accommodate two bassinets as well as an infant car seat, and a riding board at the exact same time. However, it is a great option for families with several young children.
