Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat

A double stroller that includes an infant car seat is essential for twins or two kids with similar ages. When you're planning to buy a stroller, take into consideration your budget as well as the length of time you plan to use it.

Kate loved that the stroller was lightweight and easy to maneuver. She also liked that it folds easily, although she did find the buckles magnetic difficult to fasten.

Size

Size is a major aspect to take into consideration when selecting a double stroller that comes with a car seat for your infant. The stroller should be compact and slim enough that parents are able to easily maneuver it through crowded sidewalks or through the narrow subway gates. The stroller should also be compact and easy to fold, so that it can be tucked away into the trunk of a small vehicle.

Consider a double stroller which includes two seats and can accommodate a car seat for an infant when you plan to have twins or children who are similar in age. Double strollers cost more, but have a longer lifespan and can be used until toddlerhood or beyond. For example, our top pick the UPPAbaby Vista double buggy with car seat comes with a wide variety of seating options and will accept two infant car seats or toddler seats that convert into bassinets.

We also prefer strollers that can be used with a variety of infant car seat brands. This allows families to have a wider selection to pick from. The UPPAbaby Vista, for instance is compatible with the UPPAbaby mesha and other infant car seats that have adapters. It can also be used with the Baby Jogger Glider Board to accommodate a third passenger standing.

Some parents opt to purchase a single-to-double stroller which can adapt to an additional child, but we recommend purchasing what you need at the right time. The second child may arrive later than you expect, or your first kid may not be comfortable walking. Furthermore, the style of seating on a double stroller and baby car seats can make or break sibling relations, especially for kids that are very close in age.

Weight

Double strollers are generally heavier than single models. They come with two seats and more cargo, meaning the weight of the final pushing load is greater. This weight is important to consider when choosing your ideal model, especially when you intend to use it for long walks and jogs. The best models are well-engineered to handle the additional load with minimal flexing or swinging.

It's also worth considering the cost of a double stroller in relation to its durability. The higher-end models offer a high-quality design and seating flexibility, which means they'll last longer than budget-friendly models. The joovy qool double bundle, for example, accepts car seat adapters for two infant car seats and can accommodate a second passenger via an attachable bassinet. This model is perfect for twins or children of different ages or siblings who have a gap between them.

Budget-conscious parents may find the Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go an appealing option since it accepts two car seats for infants and can convert into a tandem (single-file) stroller. It's light and compact, making it easy to move around even with the extra weight.

Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double. It is comparable to models that have won awards, but are more expensive, and comes with multiple seating configurations. Its side-by-side seat design is able to accommodate twins or children with different ages. It can also be customized with add ons such as dual canopies or twin bassinets. This stroller can be folded easily and has a compact footprint, making it easier to fit into the trunk. It's not intended to be used until kids can sit up without assistance, so younger babies will require assistance or placed in a car seat.

Convenience

It is simpler and less stressful to take your family on a trip if you transfer your infant car seat easily from the vehicle to the stroller. Rather than attempting to fold a stroller while keeping one hand on the baby and the other on a toddler, you can just click the seat in place and begin moving. This feature is particularly helpful for long journeys in which you do not want to unbuckle and re-buckle your child every few minutes.

Many parents with twins opt for an option that can accommodate two infants in the car seats at the same time. The Graco Fast Action Flip, for example, offers this capability and comes with the added benefit of a bench seat for older siblings. However, it's not compatible with all kinds of infant car seats, and it's a bit heavy for certain families.

Some parents prefer a double-stroller with an adapter for carseats that is built-in which is compatible with all the major infant car safety seats. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo offers a great value for the features it has. It's not the most ideal cheap double stroller-stroller for twin umbrella stroller infants since it works with one. However it's an excellent choice for a lot of families.

Other double strollers require a more complicated procedure to attach and detach the car seat. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double is one example. It requires that you push down and then hear a loud click to ensure it's securely secured. It's a bit more difficult to use in a parking garage particularly if your kids are tired or hungry. While it can grow with the family, we don't believe it's the most suitable option for parents of twins as you'll have to purchase a separate toddler seat when your kids are old enough for it.

Durability

A double stroller that includes an infant car seat should be sturdy and built for longevity. It should also suit your lifestyle and budget whether you intend to use the stroller for a few or many years. When you are making a purchase, consider the fabric of the stroller as well as its components, like its tires.

Look for a stroller with large and deep storage basket that will hold plenty of groceries, diapers, and other supplies. A spacious parent console and cup holders are beneficial and so is an umbrella sunshade that offers plenty of coverage. Make sure that the stroller is able to handle off-road terrain, as well as narrow city sidewalks.

Parents of twins may prefer a side by side stroller to ensure equal access and visibility to both children. Parents with children of different ages may opt for a tandem stroller that allows the seat of the rear child to be adjusted by raising or lowering it. Tandem strollers are generally bulkier than single strollers, however, and they can cause sibling squabbles in the event that the seats are different heights.

A stroller that has an adjustable handlebar can allow you to adjust the height to suit your needs. Also having a one-hand folding mechanism is useful. Another feature to look out for is a compact footprint that can easily fit in your trunk, and requires little storage space.

A modular stroller such as the CYBEX Gazelle S provides unbeatable flexibility that lets you mix and match seating units and cot attachments for multiples, twins or single riders of various age groups. Its sturdy construction and seating configuration versatility suggest that this model is worth the investment should you intend to keep it for a long period of time.

Safety

A good stroller should be safe for the children in the seats as well as the parent pushing them. Certified child safety technician Alli Cavasino recommends looking for strollers with ergonomic handlebars, easy-to-use brakes and an adjustable seat harness. She also advises avoiding any accessories that add to the weight of the stroller, such as ride-on boards or extra child seats.

A double stroller must be strong enough to withstand various surfaces including suburban sidewalks and park trails to paved roads. It should be strong enough to traverse curbs and bumps easily and yet flexible enough to navigate a steep slope or a staircase that goes up and down. It should also be simple to fold and fit into the trunk of a car without any compromise in size or maneuverability.

Parents of twins or other siblings who are similar in age may think about a double stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats. This will allow them to have the freedom to move sleeping children from the car to a stroller without disturbing them. A majority of our top-scoring strollers are compatible with a two infant car seat, including the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double or the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double.

Another alternative is the Joovy Qool double pram stroller bundle, which can be used with two infant car seats (car seat adapters sold separately) and comes with an add-on Rumble seat that can be converted into a second seat when your children are old enough for their car seat. It has stadium-style seating with plenty of space for legs and can be configured to allow your children to meet each other and the world. It can't accommodate two bassinets, an infant car seat, or a riding board simultaneously. However, it is a great choice for families with a lot of young children.
