Buying a Tandem Double Stroller
A tandem double stroller can be a lifesaver for parents who must carry two children around the city. These are sturdy enough to handle most surfaces and comfortable for both an infant in a car seat as well as a curious toddler.
The fact that the stroller can fold into a slim silhouette with just one hand is a major plus for testers. It also comes with a huge amount of onboard storage for both adults and children.
Adjustable Recline
If you're looking for a stroller which can adapt to your family's needs this is a great option. It starts out as an individual stroller, but can be outfitted with an additional seat, a jump seat or stand-on board for older kids. It is easy to control and push for taller parents. The rear suspension and the air-filled tires allow for jogging with ease. The separate canopy is large with well-placed peekaboo windows and the seats recline to nearly flat, though they do take two hands to put back up.
Another benefit is that it can fit through the majority of doors, though it could be too long for some trunks, based on the car you drive. The tandem double stroller features one point fold, unlike most, which require lifting a canopy or seat in order to fold. Instead, it utilizes a strap that is pulled and then lifted. It also stands when folded, which is handy for transport and storage. However, the buckles are a bit difficult to fasten particularly with the car seat in place, and it's also a bit expensive for a double stroller.
The Graco DuoGlider is a solid choice for families with a toddler as well as an infant. It has a huge storage basket, an adjustable recline on both seats (although only the front seat can be reclined about halfway) as well as excellent padding for the harnesses. In our tests, it was one of the most comfortable options for kids and adults--even those over 6'. The only issue is that its length could make it a pain to maneuver around tight spaces or when you're carrying groceries and kids.
A top pick among budget-friendly tandem strollers that is the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double can be used as early as birth with the infant car seat adapter, or with a second toddler seat, that is available separately. Both seats feature a deep recline and a footrest that is adjustable. They also come with a UPF 50+ canopy with a large windows for peekaboo. The front seat can also be turned upside down to face the rear so that older children can be able to see each other more clearly. The only downside is that it's not able to accommodate two infant car seats at the same time and therefore isn't an ideal choice for twins or siblings who are similar in age.
UPF 50+ Canopy
If you don't want your children to be screaming and whining the entire time it is best to get a double stroller that has the capacity to cover both seats. The best tandem double strollers have a UPF50+ canopy that is far enough to offer real shade. They also come with windows that can be opened for peekaboo from each seat. It also requires a high-quality suspension and large wheels to make them easy to push. After testing 17 tandem strollers for over 100 hours at the zoo and during stroller-enabled classes as well as running the errands, and trick-or-treating, we found side-by-side options like the Chicco BravoFor2 or Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller were more efficient in terms of maneuverability than inline models. They were more easy to turn and fit into doors with standard openings than other models.
You'll want to think about whether the tandem stroller can be adapted to your family's needs as well as features that are comfortable and convenient. If you are a frequent user of public transportation, or have to carry lots of gear and luggage, then look for a model that has a large storage bin and a bumper bar that can be folded down under the stroller.
Another thing to consider is how long you intend to use the stroller for. A quality double stroller can last for most families from the time that their child is born to toddlerhood and beyond. It's worthwhile to invest more in the beginning on a stroller you can use for a few years.
If you are a frequent traveler you might want to consider one that can be folded flat or by using just one foot. The best tandem double strollers are easy to fold down, which makes them ideal for families who are on the go.
The style of stroller that you choose can have a significant impact on your budget and lifestyle if are thinking about adding the child. If you're looking for a side-by-side or an inline model, there are lots of options to suit your requirements.
One-Point Fold
Expert stroller reviewers have a essential requirement to purchasing a tandem double stroller : It must be easy to fold and unfold. This is especially important because tandem strollers are typically larger than single strollers, and may feel heavy when being carried. They also take up more storage space in your car trunk than a single stroller would.
The best tandem double strollers have a single point fold that is easy to use. Many tandem double strollers come with an automatic lock that stops the stroller from folding while it is open or in use. This is a security feature to consider particularly if your child is in the front seat.
If you plan to utilize a tandem stroller to transport children in car seats, it's ideal to opt for a side-byside model instead of one that is reversible. Reversible strollers let you place your infant in front and your older child in the back. However, it can be difficult to reach your child in the rear while the stroller is moving.
Another factor to consider is the width of the tandem stroller. The majority of double strollers are larger than single strollers, and the width can affect whether or not it will fit through the doors of your home. Measure your standard doorways between 30 and 36 inch width prior to purchasing a tandem stroller.
If you're looking for a multi-functional stroller that is compatible with two infant car seats look into the Contours Options Elite V2. This double stroller features seven different stadium-style seating options that are ideal for twins, and it can also accommodate the majority of infant car seats. It comes with many great features including reversible seats, adjustable footrests and a zippered extension on both canopies. It's also reasonably priced and has received excellent reviews from parents. The only drawback is that it doesn’t recline at the back. This can be a problem if your child is napping. However, it does have an ample storage basket as well as a covered tray for parents with cup holders. It's still a great choice for most families.
Easy Assembly
It doesn't matter whether you were surprised to learn that you are expecting twins, or if you knew you'd have a second child as planned. You need to think about how you will take your children from A to B. A double stroller is a must-have for parents with multiple children, and there are several types to pick from. We tested tandem strollers that have seats facing each other or side-by-side, so that children can communicate and interact while on the move. Many tandem strollers work with infant car seats as well as standard child stroller chairs. They also have high-low seating that lets both children see their surroundings.
Most of our tandem stroller choices fold easily and are small enough to fit into the trunk of your car or storage at home. Some require you to remove the second seat to fold them (this is typical for side-by-side strollers) and this can reduce their storage capacity by somewhat. This is something to be considered when choosing your ideal model, and also assessing the dimensions of any doorways that you'll have to take the stroller through.
In addition to a one-handed fold, many of our top tandem choices come with adjustable reclining for both seats and a spacious canopy to shield your children from sun and wind. They also come with cup holders and onboard storage for snacks and equipment along with brakes that are easy to reach, and a sturdy bar that feels comfortable to hold while pushing. Many models are compatible with piggyback attachments for ride-along boards that allow toddlers and older siblings to enjoy the fun.
Look for used tandem strollers online if you want to save money on your purchase. There are second-hand double strollers for less than new models on marketplaces such as Facebook and Craigslist. Just be sure to check for rust, loose screws and research any recalls that could be in effect prior to purchasing. It's worth the effort to find a fantastic deal on a stroller that will serve your family for many years.
