10 Double Car Seat Stroller-Related Meetups You Should Attend

A Double Car Seat Stroller Is a Must-Have For Twins Or Two Young Kids

A double car seat stroller is an essential item for twins or two toddlers. One option, the Joovy TwinRoo+, allows infant car seats to face either direction and has a sit-and-stand option for older kids.

A baby jogger is another option for parents looking to take their children on a run journey. But which stroller is right for you?

Easy to Fold

The most comfortable pushchairs double strollers are simple to fold, whether trying to stow them in your car or fitting them through the doorway. The majority of models come with an option lever that allows you to fold the base down and flip the seat back. Some also include a handle on the top of the stroller that enables you to lift and carry the whole thing, while some have an integrated kickstand that holds the folded stroller upright until you're ready to use it again.

A double stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats and an additional riding board is an excellent choice if you have twins or are planning to have more than one child in the future. The Baby Trend Double Snap-N-Go is an extremely popular choice. It can be used with all brands of infant seats and has a stadium seating for both children to enjoy the sights. This model however, doesn't "snap" the car seats into position rather, you tie them in with a strap net and the rim of the car seat rests on the edge of the frame.

Think about a stroller with front and rear wheels which lock to provide better steering on uneven terrain. A three-position handle with padding provides the user with comfort and control and the tray for the parent comes with two cup holders and an enclosed storage compartment. Some models come with a larger basket that can fit more gear.

A jogging-stroller can be a great option for those who love to go on outdoor adventures. However it can be a challenge to lift and carry without a designated handle. Some jogging strollers have hooks for attaching an infant car seat to give parents eight more months of walking time, but this is a risk for infants under six months and should be discussed with your pediatrician prior trying. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 2 pushchair double are lightweight and come with one-hand, standing folds. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite, which can fit two toddler seats or one child in the main seating position, is a great choice for outdoor activities.

Sturdy

When families are on the move A double stroller is an invaluable tool. It should be strong enough to withstand various surfaces, like suburban sidewalks and park trails. It should also be a comfortable fit for infants and toddlers, who might want to explore and sit up. Ideally, it should allow for multiple seating arrangements to accommodate children of various ages and fit neatly in the trunk of your car.

This versatile tandem stroller from CYBEX is a good option to conquer a variety of terrain. It accepts one infant car seat and has an adjustable toddler seat. Its built-in adjustable foot and leg rests keep children comfortable, and its generous UPF 50+ canopy as well as peekaboo windows offer both seats plenty of sun protection. Children can take a ride in either seat or take turns standing on the baby bouncer board. The no-rethread buckles were among the most simple to use in our tests, making it easy to get in and out.

Despite being a double, this stroller is light and compact. It also comes with plenty of storage space, including a huge cargo net beneath the seats as well as a huge basket on top. The padding on the handlebars is popular with parents, but the seat backs do not fully fold into a flat position.

This lightweight, bare-bones tandem stroller from Kolcraft can hold children as much as 40 pounds per seat (80 pounds in total). It weighs less than 23 pounds. It has large pop-out canopy that provide real shade and include peekaboo windows as well as a self-standing fold. It comes with a carrying strap for easy schlepping, and 7-inch swivel lock front wheels as well as 10-inch back wheels that have suspension for a smooth and comfortable ride.

This budget-friendly double jogging stroller is the lightest we've tested. It's a great option for families with two babies of similar age. It doesn't work with infant car seats but it's able to fit two of the best-rated convertible carseats, and it comes with an ideal cup holder that can be used by both riders. The seats have a no-rethread safety harness that is quick and easy to secure. They also have plenty of storage space under the seat, without causing any disturbance to passengers.

Convenient Storage

The amount of storage that a stroller has is crucial particularly when you're carrying around two kids and their toys. Some of our favorite strollers have plenty of storage. They come with a large basket that can be used to store adult gear and children's snacks. The UPPAbaby's one hand folding is simple and won't burden your back.

Other models, like the Joovy TwinRoo+ Car Seat Frame Double Stroller has less space, but provide decent flexibility for a reasonable cost. This model is compatible with 23 different infant car seats and cradles each seat which is a major benefit compared to other twin stroller frames that simply strap cars into place and aren't built to last as long as the car seat that is used for infants.

Parents of twins usually opt for a tandem stroller that can accommodate both infant car seats at the same time. However they are more expensive and will last longer as the children grow. If you're looking for a cost-effective alternative, but one that will still work as your twins grow older, consider a stroller that can carry two car seats for your children. It should have two canopy and a simple to use tray for parents that has cup holders.

While it's important to make sure your stroller can handle all the weight and movement you'll be placing on it, you'll also want to ensure your kids can sit comfortably. Our test participants searched for padding, a good shoulder height strap adjustment, and simple buckles that don't require two hands to operate. Certain models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Evenflo Pivot Xpand come with reclining seats, which allow children to snooze in comfort. Other models, such as the Joovy Cabose Ultralight Graphite or Graco Duet have seats with only a few reclining options.

Another thing to think about is the number and position of sunshades. Some models, like the UPPAbaby Vista v2 and Evenflo Pivot have two canopies that cover both seats, while others, such as the Joovy Caboose and Graco Duet, have one canopy that has windows that open to let the rear passenger in. This can be helpful in the event that your children are more likely to fall asleep in the same spot, but it's worth remembering that they'll only get limited coverage when the window is open.

Comfortable

The most important thing about a stroller to consider is its comfort. Look for an area that is big enough for both children and includes recline positions. The canopy should be big enough to offer shade and there should be a tray for the parents with two cup holders. Other features that are useful include the foot brake, locking front wheels and a parent organizer which can store snacks and diaper bags.

The top double strollers for cars also have safety features to make your child feel safe. Select a stroller with five-point harnesses that hold your child at the shoulders and hips, the most rigid parts of their body. This kind of harness is safer than a lap belt as it shifts the force from an accident and into the seat.

It is also important to consider how the stroller will fit into your home. Most parents have a limited amount of storage space, so be sure that the stroller will fit into your trunk or closet before you buy it. It is also important to measure any doorways you will have to cross while the stroller is open. The standard doorways are 30 to 36 inches wide, however some are wider.

If you're looking for a low-cost alternative for your budget, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand double to single buggy offers flexible seating that can be used with two infant car seats and two toddler seats that can face backward or forward. This model is similar to a few high-end double car seat strollers, however, it's less expensive for families with growing children. Its fold-up feature that is activated side by side double stroller one hand and a front foot break make it easy to maneuver with a padded three-position handle is able to accommodate dad or mom. Under the large cargo basket is a convenient rear zipper access compartment for larger items. The front and rear swivels have suspension for an easy ride across different conditions. The no-rethread belt makes it simple to secure your child's seatbelts. It's machine washable and easy to spot clean, too.
