How to Find the Best Double Infant Strollers

Whether your children are toddlers or infants they can get plenty of use from a double stroller. But how do twin pushchair from birth choose the best one for your family?

During our testing we discovered that tandem models are more difficult to turn and can't fit through narrower doors than side-byside strollers. They also typically allow you to set the seats to suit a variety of seating configurations.

Multi-faceted

No matter if your children are infants or toddlers double strollers can help you navigate everyday life. However, it's important to keep in mind that the right double stroller for your family will depend on a variety of factors including the age of your children and stages as well as your budget.

In our tests double strollers fall into three categories such as wagon, tandem, and side-by-side. (The latter will be covered separately). Tandem strollers are the most flexible as they can be configured in various ways to meet the needs of different ages and stages. Side-by-side strollers are ideal for older babies who can sit without assistance. They aren't designed to support infant car seats.

The most cost-effective and flexible strollers are those that can be used with many infant car seats. The UPPAbaby v2 double, for instance, can be used with the UPPAbaby Mesa and other brands via adapters. It can also be set up with two bassinets, or modified seats that act as bassinets, which means it can be used to accommodate twins or multiple infants from birth to 4 years old.

The Graco DuoGilder Click Connect is another option that is extremely versatile and can be used with either one or two infant car seats, and also with two toddler seats and a scooter for riding available separately. It is easy to fold and reconfigure, comes with an ample storage basket and it is comfortable for parents at all levels.

Even the most versatile double strollers are heavier and larger than single strollers. This can make them difficult to maneuver in tight spaces. We looked for strollers that were easy to steer and turn at a whim, and move through door frames and other obstacles easily. Our top choice is the Graco DuoGilder, is among the most agile of the bunch especially considering its size and price.

The other double stroller we tested is the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double that can fit one or two infant car seats of various brands (with the appropriate adapters) and can also accommodate a second child in an infant bassinet or modified car seat, or a third child who is using a gliderboard. It is suitable from birth until 5 years old, and it's compatible with other Baby Jogger products to give you the ultimate flexibility.

Comfortable

A double stroller weighs more than a single-passenger model, and when you add in the weight of two people (plus supplies such as diaper bags), the pushing weight can easily be over 100 lbs. That's a lot of effort especially for parents who may already be exhausted due to caring for infants and toddlers. The best double strollers come with adjustable steering and smooth suspension systems that allow them to glide over any terrain. They also have supportive seats, comfortable harnesses for seated children, and handles that are easy to grab for older children who want to stand at the back.

The best-rated strollers we reviewed come with a wide variety of seating options. These include side-by-side configurations, which make it easier to move the stroller around and also see the children while you are on your journey. Some offer multiple recline positions and large sun canopies, while others provide ample onboard storage for kids' snacks, toys, and clothing. Many have trays that allow adults to take advantage of their own beverages and snacks while stroller is being pushed.

A solid frame that is stable and has reliable brakes is another factor that could affect the comfort. Look for a stroller that has a large base and can support the maximum weight of the ride-on or seat recommended by the manufacturer. Overloading a stroller can cause damage to the frame and instability as well as some manufacturers advise against exceeding their weight recommendations.

The cost of strollers can be higher than that of single-passenger models. However, double infant strollers should last for a long time. The less expensive Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double, for instance, offers the versatility of higher-end award winners, and comes with a main seat that can be used from birth and two car seats that double as bassinets. It is suitable for twins or children varying in age. The flexible seating is supported by a sturdy, adjustable frame that can carry up to 50 pounds.

For a more long-term option, consider a twin frame stroller, such as Joovy's TwinRoo+ Car Seat Double Stroller, which accepts two infant car seats and is suitable for twins or siblings of various age. The stroller's customized click-in adapters are compatible with 23 different car seat models, and it comes with a sturdy design that's built to last for the years to be.

Double strollers may not be impervious to danger, but they can make sibling fights more manageable.
