Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat

A double stroller with an infant car seat is essential for twins or two children with similar ages. If you are planning to purchase one, it's crucial to think about your budget and how long you're planning to use the stroller for.

Kate liked that the stroller was lightweight and easy to maneuver. She also liked the ease with which it folded, but found the buckles that are magnetic difficult to secure.

Size

When selecting a double stroller with baby car seats the size is a major factor to take into consideration. The stroller should be small double buggy and slim enough that parents can effortlessly maneuver it on busy sidewalks or through narrow subway gates. Additionally, the stroller should be simple to fold and compact enough to fit in the trunk of a car or a smaller vehicle for storage.

Think about a double stroller that has two seats and can accommodate a car seat for an infant when you plan to have twins or children that are close in age. These types of strollers are more expensive than other double strollers however, they come with an extended stroller life and can be used until toddlerhood, or even after. Our top pick is the UPPAbaby V2 Double, offers a range of seating configurations. It can accept two infant seats or toddler seats which convert into bassinets.

We also like strollers that can be used with a variety of infant car seats. This gives families a larger selection to choose from. For example the UPPAbaby Vista is compatible with the UPPAbaby Mesa and several other infant car seats with adapters, and also can be used with the Baby Jogger Glider Board for an additional, standing passenger.

Many parents buy a stroller that is single to double, which can be adapted to accommodate an additional child. We recommend that you purchase what you need right now. A second child could arrive later than you expected or your first child might not be a fan of walking. The seating arrangement in a double stroller, which includes an infant car seat can also affect the relationship between siblings particularly if they're close in age.

Weight

Double strollers tend to be heavier than single models. Double strollers have two seats, and they carry more cargo. The weight of the stroller is therefore heavier. It's important to factor in this weight when deciding on your ideal model, particularly when you'll be using it for long walks or jogs. The most effective models can handle the extra weight with a minimum of flexing and swinging.

You should also consider the long-term durability of double-strollers. The more expensive models have a high-quality design and seating flexibility that suggests they'll last longer than the budget models. The joovy qool double-bundle is one example. It can accept car seat adapters to fit two infant carseats. It also can accommodate a second rider by attaching a bassinet. This configuration can work for twins, children with different ages, or siblings with a gap in age.

The Baby Trend Double Snap N'Go is a good option for parents on a budget since it can be transformed into a tandem stroller (single file) and accommodates two car seats for infants. It is lightweight and compact making it easy to maneuver even with the extra weight.

Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double. It's similar to award-winning models that are more expensive, and comes with various seating options. Its side by side seat design can be used to accommodate twins or children of different ages. It can also be customized by adding add ons such as dual canopies or twin bassinets. This stroller can be used for multiple purposes. It also has a relatively quick fold and a small footprint that makes it easier to fit in the trunk. The stroller is not meant to be used until children are able to sit without assistance, so children younger than that require assistance or put in a car seat.

Convenience

It's easier and less stressful to take your family on a trip if you transfer your infant car seat easily from the car to the stroller. You can simply click the seat into place and move the stroller without folding it while holding a baby and a toddler. This feature is particularly helpful during long trips, in which you do not want to unbuckle and change your child's buckle every few minutes.

Parents of twins usually choose a travel system that will accommodate two infant car seats at the same time. The Graco Fast Action Flip, for example, offers this feature and comes with the added benefit of a bench seat for older siblings. However, it doesn't work with all types of infant car seats and it's a bit heavy for some families.

Some parents prefer a double-stroller with an adapter for car seats that is integrated which is compatible with all major infant car safety seats. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo offers a great value for the features it provides. While it's not the best double stroller for twins in the infant stage (it can only be used with one) it works well for a variety of families and is a good option if you're looking for a one-and-done purchase.

Other double strollers have a more complex procedure to attach and detach the car seat. For instance the UPPAbaby vist double requires you to push down, then hear a loud click, in order to know that it's securely secured. It's more difficult to use in parking lots especially when you have hungry or tired children. While it will grow with your family, we don’t think it’s the best choice for parents with twins. You will have to purchase a separate toddler chair when your children reach an age.

Durability

A double stroller with infant car seat needs to be sturdy and built to last. It should also fit your budget and lifestyle, whether you intend to use the stroller for a few or a number of years. When making a purchase, consider the fabric of the stroller as well as its components, such as its tires.

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

Parents of twins may choose an equilateral stroller to give the same level of visibility and accessibility to both children. However, those with children of different ages might prefer a tandem model that allows the rear child to be raised or lowered. Tandem strollers are generally larger than single strollers however, and can cause sibling rivalries 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 preferences. Also, a one-hand folding mechanism is convenient. Another feature to look out for is a compact footprint that fits comfortably in your trunk and requires minimal storage space.

A modular stroller such as the CYBEX Gazelle S provides unparalleled flexibility, allowing you to mix and match seating units as well as cot attachments for twins, multiples, or a single rider of varying age. Its sturdy construction and seating configuration versatility indicate that this high-end model is worth the investment should you intend to keep it for a long period of time.

Safety

A good stroller is safe for the child sitting in the seat and for the person pushing it. Certified child passenger safety technician Alli Cavasino suggests looking for strollers that have ergonomic handlebars, brakes that are easy to use and a seat harness that can be adjusted. She also recommends avoiding accessories that increase the weight of a stroller for children like ride-on boards, as well as extra child seats.

A double stroller must be sturdy enough to maneuver different surfaces easily from suburban sidewalks to park trails. It should be sturdy enough to move over curbs and bumps with ease and yet flexible enough to navigate a steep slope or climbing and descending stairways. It should also be able to fold up and squeeze into the trunk of a car without compromising its size or maneuverability.

Parents of twins or siblings who are similar in age might want to consider a double stroller which can accommodate two infant car seats. This will allow them the ability to move sleepy children from the car to a stroller without disturbing them up. A majority of our top-scoring strollers work with two infant car seats such as the Evenflo Pivot Xpand double pram pushchair and 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 transforms into a second one when your kids outgrow their car seat. It has stadium seating with plenty of legroom and can be configured so that your children can face eachother or the world. It can't accept two bassinets or an infant car seat or riding board at the same time but it's an excellent value for families with multiple young children.
